The Kennebec Water District’s plan to topple trees along China Lake has generated concern among some nearby residents and others who help manage the lake. KWD was moving forward with its own harvesting proposal when a group of a dozen people representing various organizations, including the China Lake Association, submitted a letter earlier this month asking that trees within 100 feet of the lake or on steep slopes in the shoreland zone not be cut down. This would better protect water quality, the letter reads.
