Too big to treat
Pardon my ignorance if this has been answered already, but why is Winnipesaukee too big to treat? It seems that the treatment to Lake Kanasatka was successful. I understand that Winnipesaukee it much larger, but can't the treatment be scaled to accommodate its size? Property owners on and off the lake, along with anyone who works in the lakes region is dependent on its economy. If this lake turns green as Kanasatka did last year, values drop, tax revenue drops, business go bankrupt, and people flee the area. That is a lot to lose.
I am not qualified to debate the cause. However, people who are smart enough need to identify it, leaving their agendas at the door. Enforce the regulations that have been ignored. Implement new regulations to prevent this from repeating and find a way to fund and execute the solution. Respectfully, our local association with all their efforts is too small and too underfunded to fix this. There is an awful lot of money on the shores of this lake and beyond. If there was a solidly defined plan to attack this problem, I don't think funding it with both private and public funds would be an issue.
