Below, you can read an answer to this question in an interview of SaveGreenPond.org conducted by the Northampton Community College newspaper (the full interview is here:<br />www.SaveGreenPond.org/interview-with-savegreenponddotorg.php).<br /><br />--The Commuter newspaper: “How did the Save Green Pond Group begin?”<br />--SaveGreenPond.org: “The SaveGreenPond.org website was created in the fall of 2011 shortly after the road between Green Pond and the Green Pond Marsh was resurfaced and raised about 8 inches by PennDOT. This raising of the road effectively created a dam on the east side of Green Pond. This not only made driving on the road more dangerous during heavy rain (and for many days thereafter), but it also prevented the Green Pond overflow water from replenishing Green Pond Marsh. This is when it became apparent that no one in Bethlehem Township with any authority was concerned about the unique ecological treasure that existed at Green Pond Marsh.”<br />“The SaveGreenPond.org website was not publicized in any manner until the current proposal by Green Pond Country Club to build in the marsh area was announced. Since then, we want everyone to realize what a unique natural gem will be lost if construction there is approved.”<br /><br /><br /><br />This has been posted twice.
