00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: People need to band together if they want to keep

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: chemicals out of the lake or stop using them. We

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 1: need to change the regulations with the state.

4
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 2: Wanda Doun laments that Mass dep has chosen to treat

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 2: Lake Freeman with herbicide for invasive weeds that plagued kayakers

6
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 2: and fishermen like him.

7
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 3: You would get to certain points in the lake where

8
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 3: you had to push through it, and it's an unbelievable

9
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 3: amount that you would see coming up, and then it

10
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 3: would be in shallow areas too.

12
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 4: of Chelmsford use eco friendly means and dredge the weeds

13
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 4: with divers, but the town found it impractical and expensive.

14
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: There's too much phosphorus coming into the lake through our

00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: inlet from Stony Brooks and also off of Route forty,

16
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: the drainage coming in. That's what we're trying to stop,

17
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: is to look into that to keep the phosphorus and

18
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: nutrient loads coming in because that's what feeds your weeds.
