  • 5 Watershed Modifications
    5 Watershed Modifications 5.1 Dams and Impoundments The North Branch Park River watershed includes a number of dams and reservoirs that were constructed for flood control, water supply, industrial power, and recreation. Some of the existing dams and reservoirs retain their original uses, while others now primarily provide recreation, habitat, and open space. The major flood control reservoirs in the watershed, several of which only impound water during large storms, are largely undeveloped and therefore provide valuable wildlife habitat and open space. Other impoundments in the watershed provide aquatic and wildlife habitat and recreational opportunities, but may also limit or impede fish migration. Table 5-1 lists the flood control reservoirs in the watershed, while Table 5-2 lists state-registered dams in the watershed. Figure 5-1 depicts the Monument at Blue Hills Reservoir (NEE, 2009). locations of the various dams and impoundments in the watershed. Table 5-1.

  • MMI 53 River Street Dam.Pdf
    TOWN OF ACTON JUNE 7, 2019 | ACTON, MA PROPOSAL Studies Related to the Dam Located at 53 River Street June 7, 2019 Mr. John Mangiaratti, Town Manager Town of Acton Town Manager’s Office 472 Main Street Acton, MA 01720 RE: River Street Dam Removal and Fort Pond Brook Restoration Acton, Massachusetts MMI #4458-02 Dear Mr. Mangiaratti: The Milone & MacBroom team of structural engineers, bridge scour experts, geotechnical engineers, and hydraulic engineers are uniquely qualified to design the dam removal, and evaluate the potential upstream and downstream infrastructure impacts associated with the removal of the Dam at River Street to improve ecological functions of the Fort Pond Brook. When reviewing our proposal, we ask that you consider the following: Our team brings expertise and a proven track record of success in dam removal projects throughout New England. Milone & MacBroom professionals have backgrounds in hydrology and hydraulics, engineering design, fisheries expertise, and wetland biology. Our staff also includes invasive species experts, fisheries biologists, and permitting specialists. We also integrate the creative innovation of our extensive in-house team of landscape architects and frequently include passive recreational park features at our dam removal sites. We have the ability to integrate dam removal with the natural site opportunities through careful analysis and planning so that your project is technically sound, environmentally sensitive, and aesthetically pleasing. Our team of experts has performed many dam removal projects throughout New England and the Northeast. Milone and MacBroom are pioneers in the field, having completed our first dam removals in the 1990s. With over 40 constructed dam removal projects, we have completed more than any other design firm in the Northeast.

  • Features to Explore in CT
    Features to explore in CT: Week 2 of the Great Outdoor Pursuit 2021 starts June 12, 2021 Feature 2 is a Forest-explore an area where there are many trees. Forests are known as the lungs of the planet. This is because they supply a huge amount of Earth’s oxygen, which animals need to breathe. The trees of a forest give off oxygen as part of a process called photosynthesis. Forest trees also help to protect soil from erosion. They block the forces of wind and water that wear away the land. In addition, forests offer a peaceful place for hiking, camping, bird-watching, and exploring nature (forest activities for children). (Definition from Britannica Kids). CT State Forest Facts: 1) There are 32 State Forests, comprising nearly 170,000 acres of state land; 2) While the oldest State Forest is over 100 years old, the youngest (Centennial Forest) is less than 10 years old; 3) State Forests include a variety of vegetation types; 4) All State Forests are managed for a wide range of goals. As a result, on Connecticut's State Forests, you can see everything from maintained wildlife meadows to mature hardwood forest. One benefit of getting out into the State Forests is to see the results of these various management activities; and 5) Connecticut's State Forests are located throughout the state, with Forests in each of the eight counties. This makes these Forests accessible to just about everyone in the state. CT DEEP State Forest Suggested Location(s): • Cockaponset State Forest in Chester and Haddam, various Maps (read about the history of this forest) • Nehantic State Forest in Lyme, East Lyme, Forest Map Lyme, Forest Map East Lyme (read about the history of this forest).

These water bodies provide important recreational opportunities, aesthetic values, and ecosystem services that contribute to the quality of life, environment, and economy of the state. Over the past 400 years, Connecticut has undergone significant alterations to its landscape. As a result of these mostly anthropogenic activities, including clearing of forests, agriculture, and urban and rural development, there have been significant impacts to the water quality of Connecticut’s lakes and ponds. While a natural process, the eutrophication of lakes caused by excess nutrient export in runoff has been, and continues to be, a pervasive problem (Siver et al., 1996).
