  • Massachusetts Rivers Alliance
    March 11, 2011 Kate Renahan U.S. EPA-Region 1, Office of the Regional Administrator 5 Post Office Square-Suite 100, Mail Code-ORA01-1 Boston, MA 02109-3912 Subject: Comments on EPA’s proposed General Permits for Stormwater Discharges From Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems in Massachusetts Interstate, Merrimack and South Coastal Watersheds. Dear Ms. Renahan: The Massachusetts Rivers Alliance (the Alliance) is pleased to offer comments on EPA’s proposed General Permits for Stormwater Discharges from Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems in Massachusetts Interstate, Merrimack and South Coastal Watersheds (the Draft Permit). The mission of the Alliance is to protect and restore rivers in Massachusetts. We represent 32 conservation groups around the state, as well as individual members. Our comments are based on our review of the Draft Permit, its Appendices and Fact Sheet, along with information we have learned by attending EPA’s public meetings on the Draft Permit and participating in the state’s ongoing Sustainable Water Management Initiative (the Initiative). Why Stormwater Management Matters We are commenting on the Draft Permit because stormwater is now the largest source of pollution to rivers, streams and other waters in Massachusetts. In addition, urbanization – and the attendant increases in impervious cover - increases the volume and peak discharge rate of stormwater runoff, which damages stream habitat and results in urban stream syndrome a condition where aquatic life, as a designated use, is not supported. Specifically, increased stormwater runoff erodes river and stream channels, scours streambeds, and buries fish and insect habitat under sediment. Recent work by USGS and MA Department of Fish and Game confirm the findings of other studies that the ecological health of streams, in this instance the structure and diversity of the fluvial fish community, is strongly associated with the percent of impervious cover in the contributing drainage area.

  • Cultural Resources Inventory
    Town of Saugus Historical Commission Town Hall 298 Central Street Saugus, MA 01906 CULTURAL RESOURCES INVENTORY Updated: May 2012 The Town of Saugus contains hundreds of sites and structures having architectural, archeological, or historical significance. At the present time, five properties are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, two of which have been designated as National Historic Landmarks (NHL) by the Secretary of the Interior. National Register Properties: Boardman House (NHL, 10/15/1966) Breakheart Reservation Parkways (8/11/2003) Lynn Fells Parkway (5/9/2003) Saugus Iron Works (NHL, 10/15/1966) Saugus Town Hall (6/20/1985) The Commission completed an Inventory of Cultural and Historical Resources in 1986. This inventory was largely confined to resources that were at least 50 years old, and did not include many additional resources reflecting the growth of the Town since World War II. The results of this inventory have been entered into the Massachusetts Historical Commission’s MACRIS database. With a few exceptions, the inventory forms, along with inventory records created by other federal and state agencies, are available for downloading from the MACRIS site (http://mhc-macris.net/). The following listing is in two parts. The first lists properties included in the MACRIS database, while the second shows those properties which the Commission has identified for potential inclusion in the inventory. This includes both older properties not included in the previous inventory and those which have achieved the 50 year age criteria since the initial survey was done. It should be noted that the list of potential additions will expand as individual properties within areas are inventoried or miscellaneous residential properties are identified as being significant either as architecture or association.

  • Section 3: Community Setting
    SECTION 3: COMMUNITY SETTING Regional Context The Town of Holland is nestled in the southeast corner of Hampden County, Massachusetts on the Connecticut border. It is bordered by the towns of Brimfield to the north, Wales to the west, Sturbridge to the east and Union, Connecticut to the south. Nipmuck State Forest in Connecticut forms the southern town border while Brimfield State Forest lies west of Town, and Tantaique Reservation lies east of town. Holland is within commuting distance of the Springfield; Worcester; Boston; Providence, Rhode Island; and Hartford, Connecticut areas. Access to major highways is convenient with Interstate Route 84 cutting across the very southeastern corner of town, and the Massachusetts Turnpike (Interstate 90) and Massachusetts Route 20 running north of Town. The Town of Holland encompasses about 13 square miles of rolling, wooded hills. Though there is some open land, forest dominates the uplands. In the hardwood dominated forests are scattered wetlands providing biological and scenic diversity. The town is bisected by the headwaters of the Quinebaug River and the associated water bodies of Hamilton Reservoir, and Lake Siog (Holland Pond). The river, ponds, reservoir, and numerous wetlands make up a wetland complex that not only dominates the town’s character but also is important in terms of its recreational value, scenic beauty, and wildlife habitat. Holland also has large areas of undeveloped forested lands, which are of regional conservation value. Besides sharing history, land uses, and landscapes, Holland and its neighbors share municipal services such as emergency response and schools. This cooperation, primarily between Holland, Wales, and Brimfield, allows each town to benefit from improved services difficult for a small town to provide on its own.

    GENERAL ELECTRIC SITE – HOUSATONIC RIVER PITTSFIELD, LENOX, LEE, STOCKBRIDGE, GREAT BARRINGTON, AND SHEFFIELD BERKSHIRE COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS EPA FACILITY ID: MAD002084093 AUGUST 25, 2008 THE ATSDR PUBLIC HEALTH ASSESSMENT: A NOTE OF EXPLANATION This Public Health Assessment was prepared by ATSDR pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA or Superfund) section 104 (i)(6) (42 U.S.C. 9604 (i)(6)), and in accordance with our implementing regulations (42 C.F.R. Part 90). In preparing this document, ATSDR has collected relevant health data, environmental data, and community health concerns from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), state and local health and environmental agencies, the community, and potentially responsible parties, where appropriate. In addition, this document has previously been provided to EPA and the affected states in an initial release, as required by CERCLA section 104 (i)(6)(H) for their information and review. The revised document was released for a 30-day public comment period. Subsequent to the public comment period, ATSDR addressed all public comments and revised or appended the document as appropriate. The public health assessment has now been reissued. This concludes the public health assessment process for this site, unless additional information is obtained by ATSDR which, in the agency’s opinion, indicates a need to revise or append the conclusions previously issued.
