Quick context to catch up fast.
The Commission approved the proposed submerged aeration system for Wedge Pond, which is impaired for phosphorus, bacteria, and dissolved oxygen. The project will require a state permit and monthly dissolved-oxygen monitoring, and will be publicly bid because it uses Community Preservation Act funding and costs more than $10,000.

Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The approved system will add oxygen to Wedge Pond to help reduce harmful algal blooms and support healthier water conditions. The project still requires a Chapter 91 state permit and monitoring after installation. The Commission also reported that the Town Forest management plan was submitted for state approval and that Winter Pond work is expected to rely on private funds after the operating override failed.
