Ok, what can you do to the lake bottom?

I would suspect NE Dock & Barge knows better

Nope.

My spies tell me it's Northeast Dock & Barge.

[Onshore]

We have already identified and contacted the parties involved in both incidents. Thank you to everyone who took a moment to try to provide assistance.

You may want to scroll back up. Looks like the barge was identified (not Northeast Dock and Barge).

I've had a look myself. It's "Northeast Dock and Barge".

Need any more proof? They're now flying the Gadsden Flag!

This was an inappropriate use—when "mistakes were made".

• I had one on my bumper—so, "nothing". But the (welcome) post accepting blame and displaying this brand-new flag's legend ("Don't Tread on Me") are in direct conflict.

• As for silt-plumes, this shoreline of Winter Harbor has been totally free of invasive plants—including the non-native, "exotic milfoil".

It looks like Northland Construction to me. What am I missing?

As many of you have read and made statements I feel compelled to now respond. As one of the owners of Northeast Dock and Barge yes the site on Forest Road is a site where we are currently performing a permitted repair rebuild for one of our customers. The picture as shown by Darlene Forest the head of the Wetlands Department for New Hampshire DES (shorethings)portrays a large plum of silt as shown on the date in which it was taken. Northeast Docks takes responsibility for doing a permitted repair with turbidity curtains that upon review should have been upgraded prior this repair. Upon being notified by Marine Patrol and Des immediate action which included new turbidity curtains being installed and a stop of work until we felt the situation was contained. We take our responsibility to the customers we serve seriously. Mistakes are made under the best of intentions and we take full responsibility for what happened. That said many there are many projects that take place on this body of water that are not permitted and do not fall even close to the catagory of repair. After 12 years in business I am proud of our record and this is our first interaction when it comes to a infraction. We will strive to do better and will continue to make improvements to how we perform our work. I hope we can all do better as lakefront owners and contractors to better preserve this resource. Best, Luke Freudenberg Northeast Dock and Barge Inc.

You are a stand up guy...thanks for being so honest and forthright. Too often folks just try to make excuses and dodge the responsibility. Your statement should be commended by all ! Thanks for your honesty and responsiveness.

Nice to see Northeast take responsibility and apologize for a mistake. We all make them.

I don't think it was a mistake!
I hired Northeast to do repairs on our docks in a lakefront community and will never hire them again. they are full of false promises and were always taking shortcuts to hurry up and get to their next job resulting in shabby work.They promised me many times they would come back and correct the work, but they never did.
I think they were trying to take another short cut and got caught this time.

[RobertsCove0]

Raydoe,
I live in a lakefront community in Alton and it can be miserable at times dealing with politics at our docks. We have had many projects done over the years and even a well done job can get criticism. To many retired people with nothing to do except complain. We need to refocus this negativity

What about the purported dumping of dredging material in deeper water???

Not us, and I would not want to speculate.

They only took responsibility after they were caught. Their workers had to see the silt but did nothing to replace the booms.

Have you seen any of the Gloeotrichia, APS?

[ApS]

I went out sailing yesterday, thinking how bad can a weekend be... ?

Big Mistake!

Anyway, Gloeotrichia were in the water column about 2-feet down from the surface. Completely visible.

Maybe this is what divers are calling "snow", but it's the start to a maturing population of poisonous "vegetation".

For the record I am not, nor do I want to be, the head of the Wetlands Department. I am merely the shoreland section supervisor.

No worries. I just don't anyone to get the impression that my scope is bigger than it really is.

How can residents be assured that this WMUR article about a sudden bloom of poisonous Gloeotrichia blue-green algae in Winter Harbor didn't arise from the dredging of Phosphorus sequestered since the last Ice Age—10,000 years ago?



From this?
