OSSIPEE — The president of Ossipee Aggregates recently sent a letter to the town "correcting repeated and unfounded misrepresentations" of his company's mining activity made by the Friends of White Pond, a group that says it is concerned that mining may hurt the pond they love.
White Pond is a 47-acre spring-fed trout pond off White Pond Road. It’s just south of Pine River State Forest.
