Mechanical Harvesting Part of Cleanup Efforts on Mill Pond
Before issuing a request for quotations to private contractors for the mechanical harvesting of macrophytes, or pond weeds, as part of cleanup efforts at Mill Pond in East Falmouth, the Falmouth Water Quality Management Committee will gather additional information about permitting requirements from the state as well as the permit process from the Town of Brewster, which has harvested weeds in its own ponds.
