Toddy Pond Watershed-Based Protection Plan
June 2013
1. Background Information
A. Document Purpose and Scope
The purpose of this Watershed Based Plan, herein after referred to as the “plan”, is to lay out a strategy and schedule
for NPS mitigation and water quality protection efforts for the Toddy Pond watershed over the next ten years (2013 to
2023). The Hancock County Soil and Water Conservation District (HCSWCD) prepared the plan with assistance and input
from the Toddy Pond Association (TPA), Maine Department of Environmental Protection (MDEP) and United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The plan was developed to satisfy national watershed planning guidelines provided by the EPA. EPA requires nineelement plans for impaired watersheds, but allows alternative plans in several cases including protection of high quality
or unimpaired waters. MDEP accepts alternative plans for unimpaired lakes that have completed a recent watershed
survey provided that the plans follow EPA and MDEP guidance and include minimum planning elements. Toddy Pond
meets these eligibility criteria, and the plan was written to include the EPA and MDEP required planning elements
(sections 2 through 6 in the plan cover EPA’s five elements for alternative watershed-based plans).
Note: Information collected during the 2013 Toddy Pond Watershed Survey forms the basis for much of the plan. As
such, the Toddy Pond Watershed Survey Report is attached to the plan in Appendix A. The Toddy Pond Watershed
Survey Report, in and of itself, is a very valuable tool for the TPA, residents, municipal officials, and road commissioners
to identify and fix existing sources of NPS pollution.
B. Watershed Background
Toddy Pond is a 2,408 acre lake located in the towns of Orland, Surry, Blue Hill, and Penobscot in the County of Hancock,
Maine. It is an eight-mile long water body with three distinct sections, but only 1 true basin. The lake has a direct
drainage area of 17.2 sq. mi. all within the towns listed above (See Attachment A). The lake has a maximum depth of
122 feet and a mean depth of 27 feet. All four of the towns have adopted Comprehensive Plans and Surry, Penobscot,
and Blue Hill have all recently updated their Shoreland Zoning Ordinances.
Toddy Pond is a popular recreation area with a very high profile boat launch located on Route 1 in Orland. Swimming,
boating, and fishing are enjoyed by many residents who live on the pond and those that come to visit. The pond
receives heavy fishing pressure both in the summer and winter. The central and southern basins provide habitat for
warm water sport fish while the northern basin offers good habitat for coldwater species. The Maine Department of
Inland Fisheries and Wildlife annually stocks Toddy Pond since 1989 with different types of fish including brown trout,
landlocked salmon, brook trout, lake trout, and splake. The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife lists
Toddy Pond as a good bass fishery and one of the few ponds that contains a viable population of wild togue. Also,
alewives run up into the pond annually during their spring spawning migrations.
The pond is home to several families of loons and bald eagles. According to the Maine Audubon Society Loon Count,
there was an average of approximately 19 adult loons and 3-4 chicks yearly from 1983-2010. Residents also report
seeing numerous osprey and bald eagles on the lake with at least one nesting family of bald eagles. The Maine Natural
Areas Program has a section of the watershed listed as a special area of concern for inland waterfowl/wading bird
habitat and deer wintering areas. There have also been documented reports of the rare Upland Sandpiper in the
northeastern section of the watershed which is listed as a threatened species in Maine under the Maine Endangered

Species Act. The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife lists the Toddy Pond watershed as a priority brook
trout watershed.
According to the “Summary Report of Conditions in Hancock County” (published in 2006), prepared by the Hancock
County Planning Commission, from 1970-2000 the populations of the towns of Surry, Blue Hill, Penobscot, and Orland
grew by an average of almost 82%. The projected population for 2006-2015 predicts these towns’ population to
continue to grow by about 23%. This report also shows that from 2006-2015, the projected number of new homes that
will be constructed in these towns will increase by over 28%. With this population and development increase, there is
an obvious high potential for increased stress to the water quality of Toddy Pond.
C. Summary of Prior Watershed Work
Since 2003, watershed volunteers have been active in monitoring for invasive aquatic plants in Toddy Pond. In 2008 and
2009, they participated in E. coli. bacteria testing of 3 sites around the lake, and volunteers have been conducting water
quality monitoring since 1990. In 1998, watershed residents formed the Toddy Pond Association (TPA). In the last few
years this group has had a renewing of efforts by creating a website and revamping its association newsletter, that now
goes out to all 350+ property owners around the lake, not just TPA members. The TPA includes project coordinators for
roles including boat inspections, membership and mailings, plant patrol, and water testing. The TPA also has a Board of
Directors with representatives from each of the three parts of the lake. The Toddy Pond Association now boasts over
100 members. The mission of the TPA is “We believe that we have a responsibility to protect Toddy Pond and its
watershed so that we and future generations may enjoy its beauty and the recreational opportunities it provides.”
In 2012, Toddy Pond Association Members and Watershed Residents worked with the Hancock County Soil and Water
Conservation District to conduct a Watershed Survey of the entire Toddy Pond Watershed. The Toddy Pond Watershed
Survey Report was created from these findings (see Appendix A). Funding for the Toddy Pond Watershed Survey project,
in part, was provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under Section 604(B) of the Clean Water Act. The
funding is administered by the Maine Department of Environmental Protection in partnership with EPA.
2. Identification of the Causes or Sources of the NPS Threat
A. Water Quality Summary
Water quality data has been collected by the Maine DEP and the Volunteer Lake Monitoring Program for Toddy Pond
since 1977. The water quality of Toddy Pond is considered to be
above average and the potential for nuisance algae blooms is low.
However, recorded secchi readings from the last ten years show a
decline of almost 2 meters in clarity. Toddy Pond has a flushing
rate of only 0.60 flushes per year (the average flushing rate for
Maine lakes is 1-1.5 flushes per year). The low flushing rate of
Toddy Pond makes the lake more sensitive to changes in its
nutrient loading because it gives nutrients a chance to settle to
the bottom and be recycled within the water column.

B. Watershed NPS Threats
The greatest threat to water quality in Toddy Pond is polluted runoff. During and after storms, soil and nutrients like
phosphorus and nitrogen wash into the lake from the surrounding landscape via ditches, streams and overland flow.
Excessive nutrients in stormwater runoff is very detrimental to lakes like Toddy Pond. Phosphorus, a nutrient that is
common on land, is a primary food for all plants, including algae. In natural conditions, the scarcity of phosphorus in a
lake limits algae growth. However, when a lake receives extra phosphorus from the watershed, algae growth increases
dramatically.
Sometimes this growth causes choking algae blooms but more often it results in small negative changes in water quality
that, over time, damage the ecology, aesthetics, and economy of lakes. Phosphorus is found attached to soil particles,
and by documenting soil erosion in the watershed, we can gain an understanding of sources of phosphorus to the lake.
Other sources of phosphorus may include agricultural runoff, fertilizers (on agricultural land and on residential lawn
areas), and malfunctioning septic systems.
The Toddy Pond Association partnered with the Hancock County Soil and Water Conservation District to conduct a
Watershed Survey in 2012 to identify sources of phosphorus to Toddy Pond. The survey followed MDEP guidance
described in A Citizen’s Guide to Lake NPS Watershed Surveys. In the summer of 2012, Conservation District staff and
trained volunteers surveyed all developed portions of the watershed and documented soil erosion sites. Surveyors
documented the location, nature and extent of each site’s erosion and runoff problems, recommended maintenance
and pollution fixes, and rated the impacts to the lake and the cost to fix each of the sites. Survey findings were
summarized in the Toddy Pond Watershed Survey Report (2013), which includes maps and a spreadsheet of NPS sites
(Appendix A). While there is active agriculture and logging in the watershed, we did not find that these areas were
contributing phosphorus and sediment runoff issues to Toddy Pond. Therefore, we focused on the more developed
areas of the watershed because this was the area of high concern for sediment and phosphorus exports.
In total, 147 erosion sites were identified in the watershed. There were 35 Road Sites and 112 Residential Sites
documented during the survey. Each site was rated based on its impact to the lake, the technical level necessary to
install fixes, and the estimated cost to fix the site:

3. Watershed Plan Goals and Objectives
Overall Goal: The overall goal of this plan is to maintain or improve Class GPA water quality standards in Toddy Pond by
reducing phosphorus and sediment loading to the lake. This will be achieved through the following actions over the
coming ten year period (2013-2023):

Reduce current sources of phosphorus loading by fixing 87 of the 147 sites identified in the watershed survey (27
road sites and 60 residential sites). This will be achieved by providing targeted outreach, technical assistance, and
cost-sharing assistance to install conservation practices at NPS sites identified in the watershed survey.

Prevent new sources of phosphorus loading by facilitating and demonstrating improved land use practices. This
objective will be met by conducting outreach and providing technical assistance to residents, road associations, and
municipal officials.

Educate watershed residents on NPS pollution issues by developing an Education and Outreach Plan for the Toddy
Pond Watershed. This document will help us identify outreach priorities by developing specific, measureable
outreach objectives.

Conduct ongoing assessment of lake and watershed conditions by maintaining and utilizing the NPS Site Tracker.
Site Tracker is an excel spreadsheet that can be used to monitor sites identified in the watershed survey, to add new
sites as they are discovered in the watershed, and to mark sites as completed if they are fixed.

4. Schedule and Milestones to Guide Plan Implementation
A. Action Plan and Schedule
Action items, an estimated schedule, and milestones were developed to address existing NPS sites with the highest
impact and phosphorus loading to Toddy Pond and to prevent new NPS problems. The number and types of sites
targeted in the plan was based on local knowledge about potential funding sources, landowner cooperation and other
considerations. The plan is designed to be implemented over a ten year period, and an estimated schedule is provided
for each action (Table 1). Potential funding sources and key partners were also identified for each action (Table 2).

5. Proposed Management Measures
The Toddy Pond Watershed Survey Report (Appendix A) was developed in 2013 and lists all identified erosion sites in the
watershed that are contributing sediment and phosphorus to the lake. Typical problems for the land uses identified in
the watershed survey are described in the sections below. Recommendations follow guidelines found in MDEP
publications including the Gravel Road Maintenance Manual, Conservation Practices for Homeowners fact sheet series,
and Erosion and Sediment Control Manual. The recommended BMPs accomplish the plan goal of reducing phosphorus
and sediment loading to the lake by stabilizing bare soil and erosion and diverting, infiltrating or filtering polluted runoff
before it reaches the lake.
In addition to structural BMPs recommended for each problem, public education and outreach efforts will also be
needed to promote responsible stewardship and ongoing maintenance activities. The NPS Site Tracker will be used by
the Toddy Pond Association on an ongoing basis to identify new problems and to prompt maintenance of sites fixed
through the plan.
A. Residential Sites
The watershed survey identified 112 residential erosion sites. Of these, 95 sites were rated as having low impact, 11
having medium impact, and 6 having high impact to Toddy Pond. Common problems included inadequate or lack of
vegetated buffers, shoreline/bank erosion, lake access/driveway erosion, new construction issues, and large areas of
open soil. Based on the survey results, the most common BMPs will include:
 Installing or enhancing vegetated buffers
 Installing rain gardens
 Mulching or planting open areas
 Installing runoff diverters on driveways and lake access points
 Stabilizing shoreline/bank erosion with a combination of fabric and rip rap and plantings
The plan aims to address 60 of the residential erosion problems identified in the watershed survey. These sites will be
fixed by providing landowners with small matching grants for plants, erosion control mulch or other materials. Since
many of the low impact sites are low cost and easy to fix, we believe that once a good example of appropriate fixes has
been demonstrated, other homeowners will see the benefits and will independently fix their identified problems after
recommended solutions are brought to their attention through targeted outreach and/or technical assistance visits.
B. Private Roads
The watershed survey identified 35 private road sites. There were 9 high impact, 20 medium impact and 6 low impact
sites. Common problems included unstable culverts (inadequate size, not functioning, unstable inlets and outlets), ditch
and shoulder erosion, and surface erosion. The most common BMPs recommended in the survey included:
 Installing new culverts and stabilizing the ends with stone
 Clean, reshape, and armor ditches with angular stone or vegetation
 Crown and reshape roads to allow for proper drainage
 Turnouts to push water away from the road and road edges
8
Toddy Pond Watershed-Based Protection Plan
June 2013
The plan aims to address 25 private road sites. Sites will be addressed by providing cost-sharing funds to road
associations. Targeted outreach and technical assistance will be provided to road associations associated with the
remaining sites.
Ongoing maintenance (e.g., grading, removing accumulated sediment from culvert inlets and outlets and turnouts) is
critical to long term performance of these BMPs and prevention of new NPS problems. As a result, the plan calls for
periodic inspections of implemented BMPs through the NPS Site Tracker. Follow up contact will be made by the Toddy
Pond Association to road associations and landowners for any maintenance needs.
C. State Road and Public Beach/Public Boat Launch
There was only 1 public beach/public boat launch site and 1 state road site identified in the watershed survey. The State
road site was listed as medium impact and the public beach/public boat launch site was also rated as medium impact.
Both of these sites will be addressed in the plan.
The State road site involves stabilization of the sides of a bridge that will be fixed independently by the Maine
Department of Transportation (MDOT). The plan aims to notify MDOT about the problem and request that the
recommendations be incorporated into the road maintenance schedule. The NPS Site Tracker can be used to prompt
periodic inspections of the state road site and communication with MDOT about future maintenance needs.
The public beach/public boat launch site will be addressed by providing cost sharing assistance and technical assistance
to help the town with designing a vegetative buffer that allows for public access and protects the lake.
D. Town Roads
There were no issues/sites identified in the watershed survey on Town Roads. However, Town Roads should
continually be monitored for any new erosion issues and be added to the Site Tracker database as necessary.
6. Pollutant Load Reductions
Preliminary estimates of the top 15 NPS sites identified were already calculated during the Watershed Survey process
(Appendix B). These estimates will be used to help prioritize projects in the watershed.
Pollutant load reductions will be estimated and reported to DEP for any work funded by 319 grants using methods
approved and recommended by the DEP and EPA.
7. Water Quality Results Monitoring
The TPA will continue to annually monitor Toddy Pond twice a month from May through September for Secchi disk
transparency, temperature, and dissolved oxygen. DEP also conducts baseline monitoring on Toddy Pond about every
five years for transparency and other water quality parameters.
Every two years, DEP evaluates transparency data to assess trends in water quality conditions of the lake. The results of
the transparency readings (positive, negative or stable) and DEP’s assessment of the trends will assist in determining
whether the plan meets its goal of having stable or improving water quality over time.

Toddy Pond Watershed Information
Toddy Pond is a 2,408 acre lake located in the towns of Orland, Surry, Blue Hill, and Penobscot in the County of
Hancock, Maine. It is an eight-mile long water body with
three distinct sections, but only 1 true basin. The lake has
a direct drainage area of 17.2 sq. mi. all within the towns
listed above. The lake has a maximum depth of 122 feet, a
mean depth of 27 feet, and a flushing rate of only 0.60

What is Threatening Toddy Pond Water Quality?
The greatest threat to water quality in Toddy Pond, which is the same for all Maine lakes, is polluted runoff.
During and after storms, soil and nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen wash into the lake from the surrounding
landscape via ditches, streams and overland flow.
In an undeveloped forested watershed, stormwater runoff is slowed and filtered by trees, shrubs and other vegetation. It then filters through the soil and soaks into the uneven forest floor. In a developed watershed, stormwater
velocity increases on impervious surfaces like rooftops, compacted soil, gravel camp roads and pavement, and
does not always receive the filtering treatment the forest once provided.
The nutrients in stormwater runoff can be bad news for lakes. Phosphorus, a nutrient that is common on land, is a
primary food for all plants, including algae. In natural conditions, the scarcity of phosphorus in a lake limits algae
growth. However, when a lake receives extra phosphorus from the watershed, algae growth increases dramatically.
Sometimes this growth causes choking algae blooms but more often it results in small, insidious changes in water
quality that, over time, damage the ecology, aesthetics, and economy of lakes. Phosphorus is difficult to measure
directly as it occurs in nonpoint source pollution. However, phosphorus is found attached to soil particles, and by
documenting soil erosion in the watershed, we can gain an understanding of sources of phosphorus to the lake.
Other sources of phosphorus may include agricultural runoff, fertilizers (on agricultural land and on residential
lawn areas), and sewage.
The Toddy Pond watershed is experiencing significant development pressure. Many summer camps have recently been converted
to year-round residences and poorly built, inadequately maintained
camp roads and driveways are getting more and more use. All of
these factors point towards an increasing threat of NPS pollution
entering Toddy Pond from developed areas in the watershed. It is
extremely important to document these NPS issues and work towards correcting them before the water quality of Toddy Pond declines.
Water quality data has been collected by the Maine DEP and the
Volunteer Lake Monitoring Program for Toddy Pond since 1977.
The water quality of Toddy Pond is considered to be above average
and the potential for nuisance algae blooms is low. However, recorded secchi readings from the last ten years show a decline of almost 2 meters (approx. 6 feet) in water clarity.
Appendix A: Toddy Pond Watershed Survey Report- Page 4
Purpose of the Watershed Survey
The primary purpose of the watershed survey was to identify and prioritize existing sources of
polluted runoff in the Toddy Pond watershed. However, of equal importance was to:
 Raise public awareness of the connection between land use and water quality
 Raise public awareness of the impact of polluted runoff
 Use the information gathered as one component of a long term lake protection strategy
 Define specific areas within the watershed that need improvement (for example, roadways
that are conveying polluted runoff to the lake)
 Make general recommendations to landowners for fixing erosion problems on their properties
 Identify areas where lakefront buffers need to be installed or enhanced
Local citizen participation was essential in completing the watershed survey and will continue to
be necessary for ongoing protection efforts.
Methods
The Watershed Survey is a standard method of documenting soil erosion in lake watersheds in
Maine. After specialized training in survey techniques and documentation, volunteers:
 Walk areas of the watershed that have been impacted by humans
 Look for eroding soil
 Determine if the eroding soil can be transported to the lake, a tributary stream, or a ditch
 Document the problem
 Suggest methods to remediate the problem
Water quality experts from the Hancock County Soil and Water Conservation District reviewed
and updated all of the volunteer data.
Volunteers document erosion issues in the Toddy Pond watershed.
Appendix A: Toddy Pond Watershed Survey Report- Page 5
Watershed Survey Findings
Volunteers and technical staff documented 147 sites within the Toddy Pond Watershed that
threaten the lake (see Appendix B for the full site list). Out of these 147 sites 35 sites were Road
issues and 112 sites were classified as Residential issues.

Appendix A: Toddy Pond Watershed Survey Report- Page 6
Impact to the Lake
Watershed Survey Findings
Sites are given an “Impact to the Lake” rating based on the amount of erosion, the proximity of
that erosion to a ditch, stream, or the lake, and evidence that eroded soil is moving off site toward
the water.
Out of the 147 total sites, 101 were rated as Low Priority, 31 as Medium Priority, and 15 were
rated as High Priority in terms of impact to Toddy Pond.
The findings show that most of the documented sites in the watershed are low and medium impact sites. Because of these multiple sources, many sites will need to be addressed to make a significant impact on reducing erosion issues.

Watershed Survey Findings
Technical Level to Install & Cost to Fix the Identified Sites
Sites are also given ratings on the technical level required to install fixes and an estimate of how
much it would cost to fix the identified sites.
Out of the total 147 sites that were documented, 100 were designated as having a low level of expertise needed (meaning a homeowner or volunteer could install the fixes with little or no assistance), 39 a medium level of expertise (meaning a person with erosion control training could supervise fixes), and 8 were high priority (meaning the site would probably require an engineered
design).
For the cost to fix the site, a low rating is given if the project will be approximately $500 or less,
a medium rating is given to sites with an approximate cost of $500-$2,500, and a high rating is
given for projects costing greater than $2,500. Of the 147 total sites, 88 were rated low for cost
of materials, 44 sites were rated medium, and 15 were rated as high.
Looking at the information for the technical level needed to install fixes and the estimated cost,
most sites can easily be fixed by homeowners, volunteers, or road associations with a relatively
low cost. This is good news for trying to get a majority of sites fixed around the watershed to
protect water quality.
Appendix A: Toddy Pond Watershed Survey Report- Page 8
Road Findings
35 of the 147 sites were categorized as Road sites:
 33– Private Road
 1– State Road
 1– Public Beach/Public Boat Launch
Out of these 35 Road sites, 26 sites (74%) were low or medium priorities for their impacts to
Toddy Pond.
Some of the common problems identified were:
 Unstable culverts (inadequate size, not functioning, unstable inlets and outlets)
 Ditch and shoulder erosion
 Surface erosion
Recommended solutions:
 Install new culverts and stabilize the ends with stone
 Clean, reshape, and armor ditches with angular stone or vegetation
 Crown and reshape roads to allow for proper drainage
Appendix A: Toddy Pond Watershed Survey Report- Page 9
Residential Findings
112 of the 147 sites were found at Residential Sites. These sites can be broken down into the following categories:
A large majority of the residential sites identified (including most of the sites in the “Inadequate/
No buffer” and “Large Areas of Open Soil” categories) can be fixed easily by a homeowner with
relatively little cost.
Recommended solutions for above categories:
 Install vegetated buffers
 Crown driveways
 Vegetate or mulch open areas
 Stabilize shorelines with fabric and rip rap
Appendix A: Toddy Pond Watershed Survey Report- Page 10
Residential Findings
106 of the total 112 Residential Sites were rated as having a Low or Medium impact to Toddy
Pond.
82 of the total 112 Residential Sites were observed to lack or have an inadequate vegetated buffer
along the shoreline. The majority of these sites were documented at a medium or low impact level. However, because of the number of sites that were lacking an adequate buffer, the cumulative
impacts could have a detrimental effect on Toddy Pond.
What Makes a Good Buffer?
Regular lawn grasses are not good buffer plants. First,
they are relatively impervious— water will flow over the
top of grasses, and not soak into the ground. Second,
grasses do not fill in completely, and there is opportunity
for bare soil patches to contribute sediment to runoff. Additionally, many people over-fertilize grasses, and the fertilizer that makes the grass green may do the same for
your lake!
It is important to note that buffers of shrubs and trees do a
much more effective job than bare ground or grass at
keeping stormwater pollution from entering the lake.
The best buffer is one with five parts— trees, shrubs, understory, groundcover, and a “duff” layer of decomposing
organic matter. Trees help break the erosive energy of falling raindrops, shrubs and an understory have extensive
root systems to hold the soil, and a groundcover along
with a duff layer will act as a sponge and filter the stormwater. Deep shrub and tree roots also help hold the shoreline in place.
Buffers can be installed inexpensively. You can either
stop mowing and raking to the water’s edge and let plants
grow up naturally, or you can plant the area with native
trees and shrubs. Before doing any planting along the
shoreline, always first check with your local Code Enforcement Officer to determine if any permits are needed
from the town or state.
Appendix A: Toddy Pond Watershed Survey Report- Page 11
Residential Findings
106 out of 112 of the Residential Sites were found to have a low or medium level of technical
knowledge needed to install the fixes and 106 of the Residential Sites also had a low or medium
predicted cost to fix the identified site.
Appendix A: Toddy Pond Watershed Survey Report- Page 12
Summary of Watershed Survey Findings
By far the largest NPS problem found in the watershed is an inadequate vegetative buffer along
the shoreline. Planting a buffer requires minimum knowledge and relatively small cost. Educational outreach for homeowners should focus on how a shoreline buffer can benefit the lake and
their properties.
The next largest issue in the watershed in terms of impact to water quality is private road issues
including general maintenance problems (clogged ditches, surface erosion) and unstable culverts.
Education for these issues should be given to road commissioners and road association members
on how to properly maintain a road. Having a properly maintained road is not only good for the
lake, but also for the people who use the road because there will be less wear and tear on vehicles, it enables easier access throughout the year, and allows easier access for emergency vehicles. Also, the Maine Department of Environmental Protection estimates that $1 spent on road
maintenance saves $15 worth of repairs. So, road association members will also be saving money in the future, if they work to maintain their road today.

Next Steps: Where Do We Go From Here?
Repairing the problem sites identified in this survey will require efforts by individuals, road associations, and municipal officials.



Prevent runoff from washing sediment into the lake. Detain runoff in
depressions or divert flow to vegetated areas. Call the Hancock County SWCD (667-8663) or DEP (941-4570) for assistance.
Minimize the amount of cleared land and road surfaces on your property.
Stop mowing and raking, and let lawn and raked areas revert back to
natural plants. Deep shrub and tree roots help hold the shoreline in
place and prevent erosion.
Avoid exposing bare soil. Seed and mulch bare areas.
Call your Code Enforcement Officer before cutting vegetation within 250 feet of the shore.
Maintain septic systems properly. Pump septic tanks (every 2 to 3 years for year round residences; 4-5 years
if seasonal) and upgrade marginal systems.
Road Associations (or private roads without associations)
Minimize road runoff by doing regular, comprehensive maintenance. Form a road association if one does not
already exist. Call the Hancock County SWCD (667-8663) for more information.
 Get a copy of “Camp Road Maintenance Manual – A Guide for Landowners.” This reference is invaluable
for anyone managing a gravel road. Call the Maine DEP at 941-4570 to order a copy, or download a PDF at

http://www.ellsworthme.org/soilandwater/publications.htm

For more extensive problems, seek technical assistance. Contact the Hancock County SWCD (667-8663) or
Maine DEP (941-4570) to request technical assistance.
Municipal Officials
Enforce shoreland zoning ordinances to insure full protection of Toddy Pond.
 Conduct regular maintenance on town roads to control erosion issues to set a good example for the private
road associations.
 Participate in and support long term watershed management projects.
 Promote training for road crews, planning boards, and conservation commissions.
