854.0. "Country Pond info requested" by SALEM::RUSSO () Wed Aug 17 1988 16:18

    
     I'm looking for a home on a lake in Southern N.H. and I want to
    be sure it's good for fishing, swimming and boating in general.
    One of the lakes/ponds I'm looking at is Country Pond over by
    Kingston N.H. Does anyone out there know if it's a clean pond,
    Spring fed or whatever? Any info would be appreciated.
     
                                    Thanks in advance,
                                                       Robin

854.1You be the judgeVICKI::DODIERWed Aug 17 1988 17:3512
    	I've fished and duck hunted Country Pond and it is fairly clean.
    There was however a problem a while back where Kingston Steel Drum
    (which has long since shutdown) was dumping/burying (?) toxic chemicals
    at the back of their property which the Pow Wow River happened to
    run through. The Pow Wow River connects Great Pond, Kingston Lake,
    Greenwood Lake, and Country Pond. 
    
    	I believe Kingston applied for and got superfund money to clean
    this up. I do remember seeing people in full toxic protective suits
    and apparatus working back there for quite a while.

854.2"It's Good If It's Country"BOSHOG::VARLEYWed Aug 17 1988 17:397
     I used to fish it all the time, and it was real good for bass and
    pickerel. Weedy, with limited good shorefront and some rundown places
    as well as decent places. Seemed clean, and got a bit warm in the
    summer. A pretty, narrow river runs out of it.
