The Lake Winnipesaukee Association (LWA) is seeking proposals from interested consulting firms to assist the organization in developing watershed-based plans for 3 of the lakes 10 subwatersheds.
For the past thirteen (13) years, the Lake Winnipesaukee Association (LWA) has led the effort to address the threats and contaminants that stress the lake’s natural ecosystem and degrade its water quality. We have completed watershed and water quality analyses for 6 of the lake’s 10 subwatersheds, identifying over 270 sites that are contributing excessive nutrient loading to the lake. In addition, as part of the watershed-based plan process, we have developed action plans that include specific remediation steps, expected efficacy, estimated costs and timelines.
Completing watershed-based plans for the remaining 3 subwatersheds of the lake will assist the communities in focusing their efforts by identifying sources of pollutants in the watershed that are contributing excessive nutrient loading to the lake. In addition, updates to management plans completed over 10 years ago, will provide a whole lake understanding of the issues and better inform lake-wide management decisions to protect the lake’s water quality.
Complete RFP packages must be submitted via Dropbox and are due by close of business on October 16, 2023.
