The Town’s request for the drawdown of Beachdale Pond has been approved at a drawdown of 12 to 18 inches. The Beachdale Pond drawdown will commence on November 1, 2022 and will be managed to restore to normal surface water elevation by April 2023.

The Town’s request for a 6 foot drawdown for the 2022/2023 winter season of Beach Pond has been denied. DEEP staff will be working with us to find a suitable drawdown depth that fits the needs of homeowners, while considering the wildlife habitat and recreational uses of the lake. We are hoping for an early approval for the 2023 winter drawdown so that homeowners will be able to obtain permits and line up contractors.
