The new Maine DEP Lake Scorecards are now available! The scorecards provide a visual summary for each lake and pond that includes many types of lake data based on the current conditions and trends of each lake’s health. The major categories include water quality trends, invasive plants, shoreland and habitat, and lake vulnerability. You can click on any section to learn more.
Many of the categories for the lakes and ponds within our watershed have been assessed and scored because of the data 30 Mile staff and volunteers have collected. Our continued collection of data will help to maintain these conditional assessments and further expand our understanding of the health of our lakes and ponds, identify gaps in our data collection, and help prioritize areas to address.
You can access your lake’s scorecard on 30 Mile’s lake pages, or search for and find your lake’s scorecard here.
30 Mile staff are in the process of reviewing each scorecard to look for areas that need updating. If you have any questions or suggestions for improving these pages, you can contact our Water Quality Specialist, Sara, at sara@30mileriver.org.
