The 23rd Annual Meeting of the Thorndike Pond Conservation Association was held at Camp Wanocksett on Saturday, August 7, 1982 at 11:00 A. M. There were 60 members present and three guests. It was decided to dispense with the reading of the minutes of the last annual meeting.

Tom Kell gave the water report. He took PH readings and these show no fear of acid rain. Charts (made by Ray Kruse) were presented showing the Chemserve reports over a period of years. Condition of the water is excellent - considered to be significantly superior to the maximum allowable for recreation purposes. Water inspection will be continued on a regular basis.
Mr. William House, Forester, gave a report on the Gypsy Moth. He told its history, its habits and predicted that it is unlikely that there will be any substantial defoliation in 1983. His most recent report is enclosed.
Since the improvement of the road, there have been several reports of excessive speeding. Residents are asked to report car description, license plate and time of offense to the Jaffrey Police Department.
The water level will be lowered approximately 30 inches from the high spring level beginning about 3 weeks prior to Columbus Day weekend. Miss Kloberg suggested that a new board was needed in the dam. This will be taken care of.
