On Wednesday, May 25^th, the Wakefield Selectmen unanimously voted to move forward with trying to solve issues along Brackett and Pond Roads that are sending polluted runoff into Lovell Lake.  The UNH Stormwater Center presented the findings of the “Road Management Plan for Brackett and Pond Roads, Wakefield, NH”.  The Plan was commissioned by AWWA and supported by the NH DES Watershed Assistance program with funding from the US Environmental Protection Agency under Section 319 of the Clean Water Act.  The area was identified as a problem for Lovell Lake’s water quality through the Lovell Lake Watershed Survey and concerns of the local residents.  A steering committee of concerned citizens, the Wakefield Road Agent, AWWA members and NHDES met with the UNH Stormwater Center over the course of a year to strategize solutions to chronic runoff issues.
