Charlie Corliss Located in Downtown Cherryfield, behind the American Legion Hall, a tributary of the Narraguagus River was receiving runoff from the development of a parking lot. Although a relatively minor impact, when combined with other similar sites, this has the same potential of runoff pollution as one large site. This area involved the spreading of 16 bales of mulch hay on an exposed clay bank to prevent further erosion. Nonpoint source pollution is our nation's greatest water quality threat.
Prevention is simple and usually inexpensive.
