The 2 links are available at the bottom of this page.
The China Region Lakes Alliance (CRLA) was founded in 1995 to preserve and protect the water quality of area lakes through education and erosion control work. The CRLA members include the Towns of China, Vassalboro, and Windsor, the China Lake, Three Mile Pond, Webber Pond, and Three Cornered Pond Associations and the Kennebec Water District. The CRLA was awarded another E.P.A. 319 grant for the 2008/2009 construction seasons. The focus of this grant work will be on controlling erosion and NPS problems from agricultural lands and fields. Not all projects are eligible for funding, but careful consideration will be given to every request. The highest priority is given to erosion sites that contribute the most runoff to the lake. Residents can seek advice on lake related issues or report problems by contacting the CRLA representatives.

China Lake Association (CLA)
The China Lake Association was founded in 1987 as a 501(c)(3) organization and is dedicated to preserving China Lake for future generations through environmental stewardship and community action.
Our current fundamental focus is acting on restoring China Lake to meet state water quality standards, so that lake water conditions no longer support nuisance algae blooms. Algae blooms are the result of excess amounts of phosphorus already in the lake and that continue to get into the lake from shoreline erosion, septic seepage and other "nonpoint source" (NPS) drainage.
Guidance for this effort comes from the 2022-2023 China Lake Watershed-based Management Plan, which was researched and produced in conjunction with the Towns of China and Vassalboro, China Region Lakes Alliance, Kennebec Water District, Maine DEP, Maine Department of Marine Resources, Colby College, USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Services, Ecological Instincts and Water Resource Services, Inc.
