This Flood Insurance Study (FIS) may not contain all data available within the repository. It is advisable to contact the community repository for any additional data. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) may revise and republish part or all of this Preliminary FIS report at any time. In addition, FEMA may revise part of this FIS report by the Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) process, which does not involve republication or redistribution of the FIS report. Therefore, users should consult community officials and check the Community Map Repository to obtain the most current FIS components. Selected Flood Insurance Rate Map panels for this community contain the most current information that was previously shown separately on the corresponding Flood Boundary and Floodway Map panels (e.g., floodways and cross sections). In addition, former flood hazard zone designations have been changed as follows.

In addition, the boundaries of the Pequot Indian Reservation are shown on the FIRMs. This study has developed flood-risk data for various areas of the community that will be used to establish actuarial flood insurance rates and to assist the community in its efforts to promote sound floodplain management. Minimum floodplain management requirements for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) are set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations at 44 CFR, 60.3. In some States or communities, floodplain management criteria or regulations may exist that are more restrictive or comprehensive than the minimum Federal requirements. In such cases, the more restrictive criteria take precedence, and the State (or other jurisdictional agency) will be able to explain them. 1.2 Authority and Acknowledgments The sources of authority for this FIS report are the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 and the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973. This FIS was prepared to incorporate all the communities within New London County in a countywide format.

Colchester, Town of: In the original December 15, 1981 study and June 15, 1982 FIRM, the hydrologic and hydraulic analyses were prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for the FIA, under Inter-Agency Agreement No. IAA-H-14-78. That work was completed in March 1980. In the July 15, 1992 revised study, hydrologic and hydraulic analyses for Meadow Brook and Day Meadow Brook were prepared by the USGS for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under Inter-Agency Agreement No. EMW-87-E-2764, Project Order No. 1. This study was completed in December 1990. For the June 4, 1996 revision, the hydrologic and hydraulic analyses for Judd Brook were taken from the precountywide FIS for the Borough of Colchester. 2 East Lyme, Town of: For the December 15, 1980 study, the hydrologic and hydraulic analyses were prepared by James P. Purcell Associates, Inc., for the FIA, under Contract No. H- 4561. That work was completed in March 1979.

  • Ph River, Brook and Tributary Sites the Normal Ph Range For
    2016 Parameter Data: pH River, Brook and Tributary Sites The standard measurement of acidity is pH. A pH of less than 7 is acidic; above pH 7 is alkaline, also known by the term “basic.” The pH measurement is a logarithmic measurement, which means that each unit decrease in pH equals a ten-fold increase in acidity. In other words, pH 5 water is ten times more acidic than pH 6 water. Aquatic organisms need the pH of their water body to be within a certain range for optimal growth and survival. Although each organism has an ideal pH, most aquatic organisms prefer pH of 6.5 – 8.0. Watershed LOCATION MAY JUNE JULY AUG. SEPT. OCT.

CONNECTICUT 06268 • EDITOR'S FOREWORD The Thames River system is located in a section of southern New England that has escaped the extreme alterations of the industrial revolution and later urbanization. It has, unfortunately, suffered the consequences of dam construction causing the disappearance of anadromous fish, and industrial and domestic pollution which degraded water quality in some areas to a marginal fisheries habitat. Enough unspoiled areas are left, unaltered by dams, pollution and the developer, to reward the knowledgeable observer with a glimpse of what it was and what it could be again. As part of the program for restoration of anadromous fish to the Thames River system, it was decided to make a general biological survey of the system to document present conditions .
