We’re not just the "Thames main stem." Greetings from the Thames River Basin Partnership. Once again this quarter our partners have proven their ability to work cooperatively on projects compatible with the TRBP Plan of Work and in support of our common mission statement to share organizational resources and to develop a regional approach to natural resource protection. I hope you enjoy reading about these activities as much as I enjoy sharing information about them with you.

Tom provided an overview of the changes in the Farm Bill that Congress enacted in 2018. The Environmental Quality Incentive Program (EQIP) cap remains at $450,000 through 2023. Farmers that have met the cap under the 2014 farm bill will be reset to zero and be eligible for funding again under the 2018 Farm Bill.

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 .

  • Open PDF File, 95.38 KB, for 2007 Environmental Monitoring Summary
    2007 DWM ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING OVERVIEW (CN 278.0) 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 primary and secondary contact recreation, fish consumption, aquatic life 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.
