Self Survey

Are there any signs of erosion on or along the sides of your driveway and/or parking area(s)?

Is there at least a 50-foot (75-foot on land with steep slopes) conservation buffer between Lake Attitash and your driveway and/or parking area(s)?

Do you use chloride-based products for de-icing (e.g., road salt) and/or dust control (e.g., calcium chloride) on your driveway (this includes personal use or applications by a contractor)?

Are there any signs of erosion or scouring from roof runoff at the end of a downspout(s) or around the perimeter of building(s) on your property?

Are you using “soak-up-the-rain” practices to capture and infiltrate roof runoff such as rain gardens, drywells (permit required), dripline infiltration trenches?

Do you maintain a lawn on your property?

If your property has a retaining wall bordering Lake Attitash, is your retaining wall in good condition?

Is there a dense vegetated buffer consisting of trees, shrubs, groundcovers and intact duff layer along most of your Lake Attitash shoreline that is at least 100 feet wide?

Are you experiencing persistent erosion along the lake shore due to activities in your landscape or from wave action? (Examples of shoreline erosion are bank slumping, beach erosion, channeling, undercutting of bank material, exposed roots and trees leaning towards the water.)

Do you have a sandy beach on your shoreline?

Is the runoff from the pipe/channel scouring and eroding soil at any water level?
