Background This report presents the results generated from the implementation of the Massachusetts Estuaries Project’s Linked Watershed-Embayment Approach to the Popponesset Bay System a coastal embayment within the Towns of Mashpee and Barnstable, Massachusetts. Analyses of the Popponesset Bay System was performed to assist the Towns with up-coming nitrogen management decisions associated with the Towns’ current and future wastewater planning efforts, as well as wetland restoration, anadromous fish runs, shell fishery, open-space, and harbor maintenance programs. As part of the MEP approach, habitat assessment was conducted on the embayment based upon available water quality monitoring data, historical changes in eelgrass distribution, time-series water column oxygen measurements, and benthic community structure.

    WATERSHED REPORT: UPPER CAPE WATER THREAT LEVEL Popponesset Bay HIGH MASHPEE, BARNSTABLE & SANDWICH Introduction to the Watershed Reports In 2001, the Massachusetts Estuaries Project (MEP) was established to evaluate the health of 89 coastal embayment ecosystems across southeastern Massachusetts. A collaboration between coastal communities, the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP), the School of Marine Science and Technology (SMAST) at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth, the US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA), and the Cape Cod Commission, the purpose of the MEP is to identify nitrogen thresholds and necessary nutrient reductions to support healthy ecosystems. The Cape Cod 208 Plan Update, certified and approved by the Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the US EPA in 2015, provides an opportunity and a path forward to implement responsible plans for the restoration of the waters that define Cape Cod. On Cape Cod there are 53 embayment watersheds with physical characteristics that make them susceptible to nitrogen impacts. In its 2003 report, “The Massachusetts Popponesset Bay Watershed Estuaries Project – Embayment Restoration and Guidance for Implementation Strategies”, MassDEP identifies the 46 Cape Cod embayments included in the www.CapeCodCommission.org Implementation Report: Watershed Report October 2017 1 MEP. Thirty-three embayments studied to date require nitrogen reduction to could be evaluated. The Watershed Reports use the MEP recommendations for the achieve healthy ecosystem function. A Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) has required nitrogen load reductions necessary to meet the threshold loads (that serve been established (or a draft load has been identified and is under review) for these as the basis for nitrogen management), and then use the wMVP and the regionally watersheds.

Air Quality Conformity Analysis Calculation Procedures for Determining Air Emissions In order to evaluate the applicability of this Clean Air Act statute, annual air emissions were calculated for each of the three mitigation tasks. Air emissions were estimated based on equipment types, engine sizes, and estimated hours of operation. The calculations made were of a "screening" nature using factors provided for diesel engines in the USEPA AP-42 Emission Factor document (EPA 1995). The emission factors used were expressed in lb/hp-hr. The factors utilized were as follows: • 0.00668 lb CO/hp-hr • 0.031 lb NOx/hp-hr • 0.00072 lb PM10/hp-hr • 0.00205 lb SO2/hp-hr Emissions were calculated by simply multiplying the usage hours by the equipment horsepower and then by emission factor. To be complete, emissions were calculated for the four primary internal combustion engine related air pollutants. Total project emissions were calculated by adding the number of specific projects anticipated over a given 12-month period.

Without these stewards and their efforts, this project would not have been possible. First and foremost is the significant time and effort in data collection and discussion spent by members of the Popponesset Bay Water Quality Monitoring Program and the Cotuit Waders. These individuals gave of their time to collect water quality samples from this system from 1997 – 2003, without this information the present analysis would not have been possible. Similarly, many in the Towns of Mashpee and Barnstable worked diligently on this effort, the Mashpee Waterways Commission, Mashpee Shellfish Department, Mashpee Watershed Nutrient Management Committee, Mashpee Sewer Commission, and Mashpee Board of Selectman and the Barnstable Nutrient Management Group.
