No idea what people are talking about leaky gas pumps on Winnipesaukee, I havent seen a gas rainbow in 20 years. As a kid I recall how sloppy people were often using 5 gal jugs, and pouring 2 cycle oil, and you would see significant slicks.

I have truly not seen a single gas or oil spill of any size in so many years I cannot recall.

If you are referring to my post above ("... gas pumps... malfunctioning and polluting the lake"), I am not talking specifically about any current or past incidents of leaky gas pumps; I am simply making a comparison of the chances of fuel getting into the lake by a marina gas pump problem versus an aerial refueling incident over the lake.

NH Solar....you are so right....the use of fertilizer from all those who want green lawns is causing so much environmental damage to our lakes, rivers and groundwater that it should be made illegal. The first thing we did when we bought our new house in Washington was tear up the lawn and put in a rock garden.

Why would you want a lawn when you can have this?

Really? IMHO that would look way better with a nice green lawn. (And if all the weeds/grass in the street were killed)
