About

The Select Board voted to combine these two committees (Lost Lake/Knops Pond Weed Management Advisory Committee and Great Pond Advisory Committee) on September 20, 2004, at the request of each respective committee with a total membership of 11 members and with the possibility of 17 total members if the need arises.

The Committee is responsible to research the history of weed management at the lakes, investigate current weed management methodology, mindful of the lake's proximity to the primary water resource district and make appropriate recommendations to the Select Board regarding weed management of Lost Lake and Knops Pond and is also charged with researching issues of lake management that relate to health, safety, water quality, environmental protection and the preservation and protection of property values of the Great Ponds located within Groton and make recommendations to the Select Board in order to provide for a balanced targeted usage appropriate for each water body's unique situation.
