Note that the Order of Conditions was issued to Colonial Gas Company d/b/a National Grid. On March 15, 2020, Colonial Gas Company d/b/a National Grid merged with Boston Gas Company d/b/a National Grid, and ongoing maintenance and monitoring activities for this Order of Conditions are now being conducted by Boston Gas Company d/b/a National Grid. The existing Order of Conditions will expire on December 29, 2020. The IRA consists of a reactive core mat (RCM) cap placed over sediment to control sheens that originate from the sediment within the canal and a Gunderboom® containment and absorbent boom system for control of sheens that originate from behind the canal wall. The RCM cap and Gunderboom® system were installed in November 2010, and monitoring and maintenance activities are ongoing to maintain the integrity of the RCM cap and Gunderboom® system. The RCM cap and Gunderboom® System were conducted as part of the IRA. Once the RCM cap and Gunderboom® system were installed, the IRA was completed, and an IRA Completion Statement was submitted to MassDEP in September 2011. A Temporary Solution, as defined in the MCP, has been achieved at the Site, and ongoing maintenance and monitoring activities are being conducted under the MCP provisions of Post-Temporary Solution Operation, Maintenance and Monitoring activities. We request an extension of 3 years to the existing Order of Conditions to continue maintenance and monitoring activities associated with the RCM cap and Gunderboom® system. If approved, the extended Order of Conditions would expire in December 2023.

With the leaves fallen and the undergrowth withered, all the canal remnants found by Burt VerPlanck and published in his “Middlesex Canal Guide and Maps” are more visible.

The Gunderboom team designs barrier systems individually for each project that takes into consideration all the parameters of the site, project goals, physical site characteristics, “means and methods” and dynamic forces that will be transmitted into the barrier. That design is then fabricated in the Gunderboom facility under direct supervision of the design engineers. The Gunderboom fabrication facility was purpose built to assemble these special barrier systems so that the very high tensile strengths required can be achieved. It is not uncommon for connection/mooring point design loads, as an example, to reach 50,000 lbs and be 1.5” thick when all the elements are combined together (See Attachment A – GeoComposite Example). Typically, the Aquatic Filter Barrier can be described as a full depth, permeable barrier constructed of “GeoComposites” (either floating or fixed) that allows water to pass while retaining/excluding, from side to side, suspended sediments (including contaminated sediments or sediments that carry bacteria), fish/larvae/eggs or sound. In certain applications these barrier systems may be impermeable, or partially impermeable to accommodate differing strata within the water body. There are also some cases where the barriers have not been full water depth, again for site specific requirements.

  • Siting of Renewable Energy Facilities Within the Montachusett and North
    SITING OF RENEWABLE ENERGY FACILITIES WITHIN THE MONTACHUSETT AND NORTHERN MIDDLESEX REGIONS Funded by: Prepared by the Montachusett Regional Planning Commission (MRPC) and the Northern Middlesex Council of Governments (NMCOG) October 2014 I EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Expenditures for conventional energy and fuel costs provide little direct economic benefit for our regional economies. Utilization of renewable energy and improvements to energy efficiency has the ability to keep more of those dollars in our local communities and regional economy. This involves siting and promoting renewable energy facilities in appropriate locations, increasing reliance on renewable energy sources, and making these energy sources more practical and affordable. Renewables are not subject to fossil fuel price volatility, enabling residents to more efficiently deal with temperature extremes. Energy prices in a region with both high efficiency and renewable energy are likely to see less volatility and lower average power prices because price spikes will be reduced. However, at this time, there are insufficient siting standards for renewables. As a result, developers of renewable energy do not know what criteria they need to meet in order to develop wind, solar, geothermal, hydropower and other facilities. Renewable energy facilities also provide complementary economic development benefits by generating investment and employment in different sectors of the economy, which expands the total economic stimulus effect. Renewable energy also has a high job growth rate, reflected in efforts at Fitchburg State College, Mount Wachusett Community College, and University of Massachusetts - Lowell to educate and train people in the skill areas necessary to fuel the clean energy transition. This report was developed, in part, to serve as a template for other Regional Planning Agencies (RPAs) throughout the Commonwealth to promote renewable energy and enhance economic development in their regions.

  • Water Power in Lowell, Massachusetts
    WATER POWER IN LOWELL, MASSACHUSETTS prepared by Patrick M. Malone Assistant Professor of American Civilization & History Brown University and Larry D. Lankton Assistant Curator, Power & Shop Machinery The Henry Ford Museum Photographs by Lyn Van Buskirk submitted to the Field Investigation Presentation of Subcommittee on National Parks and Recreation of the House Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs April 26, 1974 Lowell, Massachusetts became America’s first great industrial city because of the power of the Merrimack River. The textile mills which brought pros­ perity to early Lowell depended on water power delivered by a complex system of canals. These man-made waterways were, and still are, an engineering marvel. They greatly affected the patterns of urban development in Lowell and earned the city its reputation as the "Venice of America." An 1821 map of' "Pawtucket in the town of Chelmsford" shows the rural area which would soon become the city of Lowell. Here the Concord River joins the Merrimack below the Pawtucket Falls. Lowell historian Henry Miles described the falls as "a descent of thirty-two feet— not perpendicular, but over several rapids, in circuitous channels, with a violent current amidst sharp- pointed r o c k s . In earlier times the Indians had fished at the falls, but by the late eighteenth century the rapids seriously interrupted the flow of goods, principally lumber, that came down the Merrimack to Newburyport on the coast. In 1792 a corporation known as the Proprietors of Locks and Canals on the Merrimack River was established with a plan to by-pass this natural obstacle.

It was built to circumvent the Pawtucket Falls of the Merrimack River in East Chelmsford, Massachusetts (now Lowell, Massachusetts). It is a major component of the → Lowell canal system. The Pawtucket Falls are a mile long series of falls and rapids in which the Merrimack River drops 32 feet. The falls hampered the shipment of inland goods, mostly lumber, to the mouth of the Merrimack and Newburyport, Massachusetts. Newburyport was then one of the largest shipbuilding centers in New England, Pawtucket Canal in context and a steady supply of wood from New Hampshire was critical to its industry. The original canal was built by wealthy Boston merchants who formed a limited liability corporation called the Proprietors of Locks and Canals, one of the first of its kind in the United States. However, within a decade of its construction the → Middlesex Canal was completed, connecting the Merrimack directly with Boston, Massachusetts. Bringing goods directly to Boston was more advantageous for merchants, and the Pawtucket Canal fell out of favor for inland transport. The investors in the Boston Manufacturing Company having successfully built upon Francis Cabot Lowell and Paul Moody's work in builing a successfully integrated cotton mill at Waltham, Massachusetts on the Charles River were looking for a site that offered more waterpower and the Pawtucket Falls offered what they needed.
