[MassHistPres] Alum treatment of ponds with funding from the historic category of CPC. Is this allowed?

Search the Community Preservation Coalition database.  I think the pond
preservation projects - removing invasive plant material etc. that do not
include reconstruction of an historic dam or other historic features are
Open Space projects.

Hello,
     Has anyone else experienced applications to CPC in the historic
category for alum treatment of ponds. Harwich town officials are apparently
proceeding in this direction and it was reported several towns have been
able to to this. My concern here is in precedent setting . Also a Historic
project last year was turned down which asked for $200,000 and supplied a
complete business plan for the building. The asking amount for alum
treatment for Hinckley's pond  is $500,000 from our historic category. I am
very concerned and would love to hear from anyone that has knowledge
regarding this. How do you  put a historic restriction on the pond, how does
one rehab it according to department of the interior standards? 
Thank you,
