2008 Roxbury (Ellis) Pond Water Quality Report.
One reason for the low seasonal average in 2008 was that the lowest reading for the
season was 2.8 meters, which is tied for the 3rd lowest (poorest) reading on record for the
pond. This was most probably linked with unusually heavy precipitation that occurred
throughout the months of July and August, which undoubtedly resulted in the runoff of
eroded soil into the lake from the watershed, resulting in reduced water clarity from
suspended sediment, and from increased algal growth from the phosphorus associated
with the sediment. Our field log for the July 23 sampling visit noted severe soil erosion
on the Byron Road, which showed evidence of material having washed directly into a
tributary to the lake.
If this erosion threatens
lake to bloom...look at the access roads and blasting for wind turbines.
Everything from the top of Record Hill flows down stream to the pond.
In the best BMP (best management plan)s storm waters do come. Look out.
60 megawatt nameplate; reduce to 25% (when wind blows), reduce 5% "parasitic" (suck from grid) , reduce 30% loss in transmission.
about 8 megawatts makes it to the grid. And lost along the way.
Please D.O.E. look at the destruction for no pay back.

A Friend Says
"Favorite climbing spot just Northeast of Little Ellis -Coos. The place well one of them is ancient looking. It comes up and goes right up over head. of course it is to the East or Bemis mountain so it is no wonder there are cliffs and crags there. Like Ten Degree Wall. one place has a few veins of Quartz in it."
Sending it along with my comments to DOE, his desription sounds like highly erodible terrain in the Ellis Pond basin.

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT
******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********
(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/

Sign up today and lend your voice and presence to the steadily rising tide that will soon sweep the scourge of useless and wretched turbines from our beloved Maine countryside. For many of us, our little pieces of paradise have been hard won. Did the carpetbaggers think they could simply steal them from us?
We have the facts on our side. We have the truth on our side. All we need now is YOU.
