🔴The proposed development for Meeting House Way in Edgartown is back under review with a new plan.

After the Meeting House Way project was denied, the developers have proposed a new plan, Katama Meadows. The @vineyardgazette 🗞️ published an article covering the development plan and the concerns about its impact on Edgartown Great Pond💧. The reconfigured plan proposes to develop 54 acres of land for 36 low-income rentals, 12 duplex units and 26 single-family lots.

➡️This plan raises concerns about the additional nitrogen inputs and its impact on Edgartown Great Pond. In the article Emily Reddington, our Executive Director says “We know that 70% of the nitrogen impairment is coming from two coves… Mashacket Cove and Slough Cove and we also know where the tipping point is for this pond”.

Yesterday our team was joined by Bill Austin, Jennifer Ray, and her daughter Charlotte, to install an elevation logger📉in Tisbury Great Pond. Jennifer is a representative of Martha’s Vineyard Bank Charitable Foundation (MVBCF). Thank you to MVBCF for making these loggers a reality 👏.

The elevation logger passively collects pond elevation data every 30 minutes⏱️. This data is essential in understanding when to “cut” ✂️the pond as well as its “drain” cycle and “recharge time”, ultimately allowing us to better understand the health of the pond💧. #tisburygreatpond #tisbury #elevation #loggers #data #science #pondcut #pondhealth #winter #offseason #thankful

Last week @vineyardgazette🗞️ joined our team on Mashacket Cove for groundwater💧sampling. The article highlights the importance of this collaborative study📚 with @mblwoodshole and its effort to pinpoint📍the source and magnitude of concentrated nitrogen plumes. Knowing the size, source, and scope of the problem will allow mitigation technologies that can capture harmful nitrogen before it reaches the ponds. Read 📖 more about this study in “Tracing the Source of Pond Nitrogen” article by Vineyard Gazette reporter, Gwyn Skiles. Link in bio 👆
