An extreme view would be that "Winnipesaukee will be overrun with milfoil".

Milfoil can't grow in the deep parts of the lake and there are many square miles where milfoil would be excluded simply by depth.

Why I appreciate every comprehensive approach, it's questionable that milfoil can be eradicated: exotic milfoil is not only fast-growing, it can sprout from a small fragment. Milfoil would be less of a problem if communities stopped "feeding it" with runoff that is nutritious for it.

Rather than spend funds on frivolous "shovel-ready" projects, a wide-based sewer system that diverts such nutrients from the Winnipesaukee Basin would make far more sense.

IMHO.
