KENNEBEC JOURNAL • January 6, 2022
Trustees for the Kennebec Water District on Thursday decided to modify their plan for harvesting trees along China Lake based on a letter from a group of abutters and others who help manage the lake. After receiving the letter last month the trustees met with district staff and opted to make three changes to the harvesting plan on lakeside land the district owns on the South Narrows peninsula. But Phillip deMaynadier, a founding member of the Sebasticook Regional Land Trust and one of the people who signed the letter, told trustees at their meeting Thursday that there should also be a no-cut buffer within 100 feet of the high-water mark of China Lake to better protect water quality.
