Despite Sewers, Nitrogen Still Polluting Little Pond – Falmouth Heights-Maravista Neighborhood Association

From The Falmouth Enterprise, 9/8/23, page 12, Despite Sewers, Nitrogen Still Polluting Little Pond.

Excerpts:

“Although the Little Pond watershed was sewered in 2016, the pond remains an impaired estuary. However, experts expect to see nitrogen reductions in the next few years, which should improve the health of the pond over time”.

“’You may get to acceptable nigrogen concentrations, but it’s going to take a while to get the eelgrass back,’ Mr. Eichner said.” (Mr. Eichner is a marine scientist and principal at TMDL Solutions, contracted by the town to do a study of Little Pond)
