Pond beach raking Proposal

18. Proposal to allocate funds for Hydro-raking Cushman Pond

19. Our beautiful pond?

20. Keeping it this way, protects all our home values

21. Take back your pond
Lakes and ponds are born, age and change physically over time.
The lifespan is considered complete when organic matter builds up to the point that the waterbody can no longer retain water.
This build-up can be caused by years of aquatic plant and algae growth and die back, plant decomposition and erosion.

22. Take Back Your Pond
Hydro-raking (mechanical raking) is an effective technique for selective removal of nuisance, rooted vegetation.
It clears years of accumulated bottom sediment and debris (i.e. decaying leaves, peat, etc.).
Effectively removes all organic debris from the bottom of a pond that will help to prolong or prevent the need for future dredging. 

23. Advantages of Hydro-Raking
Removal of plants, root systems, debris, decaying organic matter, and sediment
Can have a positive effect for years
Will help reduce overall nutrient load
Can clear beach area of plant and sediment
Can create boating and fishing channels
Can operate in 18 inches to 10 feet of water
No chemical introduction or water use restrictions
As far as anyone remembers we have never tried this
Many other ponds have similar hydroraking programs including Wyman Pond. Hydroraking is different from mechanical harvesting, which Wyman no longer does.

24. The Proposal
Authorize the board to engage with Solitude Lake Management
Costs:
Biological survey - $2000 to $3000 (Good for 5 years)
Permitting - $4000 (Good for 3 years)
One time mobilization cost - $2500 for machine and driver
5 days of raking - $9250 ($1850 a day, should take 3 days to do the beach area) Total: $18,750 to $19,750
Solicit and coordinate with those lake abutters who choose to have raking done near their shoreline. The additional cost to each of these abutters would be based upon the extent of raking at their shoreline.
