Priority Pollutant(s) targeted: Phosphorus A7. Estimated Annual Pollutant removal - Phosphorus 554 pounds for the 5 bog sites (2014 data, harvest floods only) Buzzards Bay Watershed - 451 South Coastal Watershed - 103 2 Taunton Watershed: 0.45 pounds from the test run of the filter box Method of Determination and calculations: Bog sites - Total load of TP in harvest floods in 2014 was calculated by multiplying the TP concentration in those harvest floods as determined by sampling and analysis by the flood volume as determined by flow measurement (White Island sites) or estimated based on volume data from a study of harvest floods (C. Kennedy, unpublished data). For each location, a linear regression line was calculated for TP concentration in flood vs. number of years of implementation of P fertilizer reduction - that relationship was used to estimate the pre-reduction concentration of TP (year 1). Concentration was converted to load using flood volume data and assuming that flood volume was similar for each year within a site. TP removed was calculated as the difference between load in year 1 (begin P reduction protocol) and 2014. Filter box trial - Removal rate was determined to average 84% when comparing TP concentration in incoming water to that in water leaving the filter box (5 runs). Twenty percent of a harvest flood from the adjacent 2-acre cranberry bog (TP conc. = 0.208 mg/l; 1,376,000 L/ha volume) would contain a load of 0.286 kg P/ha. Removal of 84% of that load would equal 0.25 kg/ha removed. For the 2-acre bog that is 0.45 pounds. A8. BMPs installed, number and type: Reduction in applied phosphorus - five cranberry bog sites evaluated (practice has been widely adopted) Concrete Filter Box containing coarse sand - one 3 B. Descriptive Project Summary MASSACHUSETTS DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION SECTION 319 NPS PROJECT 12-02/319 PROJECT TITLE: Decreasing Phosphorus in Cranberry Waters by Implementation of Best Management Practices NPS CATEGORY: Agriculture INVESTIGATOR: UMass Amherst LOCATION: Coastal: Buzzards Bay, Taunton, South Coastal, Cape Cod DESCRIPTION: Many inland water bodies in Southeastern Massachusetts watersheds are impaired due to enrichment of nutrients, and specifically phosphorus (P). Many ponds in the region are in categories 4 and 5, some have TMDLs and others are scheduled. An examination of aerial photographs of Southeastern Massachusetts illustrates the apparent hydrologic connection of many cranberry bogs to inland ponds. Cranberry production is a significant agricultural land use and economic driver in Southeastern Massachusetts; and when cranberry growing is associated with these ponds, BMPs that reduce P export become even more critical. The focus of this project will be the reduction of P output from cranberry lands in order to meet current and anticipated TMDLs and generally improve water quality. This project will have both implementation and demonstration tasks. Implementation activities with structural BMPs (filter beds with sand and sand plus amendments such as aluminum or iron) will be evaluated. P levels will be evaluated in White Island Pond during each summer of the project to determine effects of these implementations on the Pond. Implementation of non-structural BMPs will be evaluated at 10-12 cranberry bog sites (fertilizer reduction evaluation and evaluation of changes in flood management including characterization of volumes). The utility of several other experimental approaches will be investigated/evaluated in the lab and demonstrated in the field. Outreach activities will educate growers about their utility and show them how to implement BMPs on their farms, thus multiplying the impact of the work.

  • 2008 DWM ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING OVERVIEW Water
    2008 DWM ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING OVERVIEW (CN 331.0) Water quality monitoring, assessment and management activities of the MassDEP are sequentially performed in accordance with a rotating five-year watershed schedule. Surface waters are typically monitored during Year 2 of the cycle by the Division of Watershed Management’s (DWM) Watershed Planning Section. The main programmatic objectives of the DWM related to surface water quality monitoring are to: Collect chemical, physical and biological data to assess the degree to which designated uses, such as aquatic life, primary and secondary contact recreation, fish consumption and aesthetics, are being met in waters of the Commonwealth; Collect chemical, physical and biological data to support analysis and development of implementation plans to reduce pollutant loads to waters of the Commonwealth; Screen fish in selected waterbodies for fish tissue contaminants (metals, PCBs and organochlorine pesticides) to provide for public health risk assessment; To the extent feasible, locate pollution sources and promote and facilitate timely correction; Over the long term, collect water quality data to enable the determination of trends in parameter concentrations and/or loads; Develop new or revised standards, which may require short-term research monitoring directed towards the establishment or revision of water quality policies and standards; and to Measure the effectiveness of water quality management projects or programs (such as the effectiveness of implementing TMDLs, Best Management Practices (BMP) for the control of nonpoint pollution, or a state-wide policy or permitting program). Quality assurance is maintained for DWM’s watershed monitoring program to ensure implementation of an effective and efficient sampling design, to meet programmatic goals and to provide data meeting specific data quality objectives.

  • Buzzards Bay Watershed
    BUZZARDS BAY WATERSHED – LAKE SEGMENT ASSESSMENTS A total of 173 lakes, ponds or impoundments (the term "lakes" will hereafter be used to include all) have been identified and assigned Pond And Lake Information System (PALIS) code numbers in the Buzzards Bay Watershed (Ackerman 1989 and MA DEP 2002d). One hundred forty-three (143) of the lakes are less than 50 acres in total surface area; three are 50 acres; ten are between 50 and 100 acres; ten are between 100 and 200 acres; five are between 200 and 500 acres; and two are 500- 700 acres in total surface area. The total surface area of the Buzzards Bay Watershed lakes is 7,106 acres. This report presents information on 69 of the Buzzards Bay Watershed lakes that are listed in the WBS database. The remaining 103 lakes, which total 2,740 acres, are unassessed and are not currently included as segments in the WBS database. The 69 lakes assessed in this report represent 4,366 of the 7,106 acres, or 61%, of the total lake acreage in the Buzzards Bay Watershed. The majority of the lakes assessed in the Buzzards Bay Watershed are located within the three communities in the northeastern most portion of the watershed; Plymouth (29), Wareham (13), and Carver (12). Baseline lake surveys were conducted on seven of these lakes (TMDL sampling) in the summer of 2000 (Appendix A, Tables A2 and A3). Synoptic surveys were conducted by DWM at 64 of these lakes in 1995 (Appendix A, Table A1). (Two of the lakes were sampled in both 1995 and 2000.) Public boat launches are located on three of the assessed lakes: Big Sandy (MA95011), Long (MA95096), and Snipatuit (MA95137) Ponds.
