Division of Fisheries and Wildlife Farm Pond Management Plan – November 2015 ii Overview of Report The Farm Pond Management Report ("Management Report") summarizes recent diagnostic field work, watershed evaluation and analysis, review of pond management options, and recommended actions for conserving and protecting the recreational, ecological, and aesthetic features of the Pond. The authors, Fay, Spofford, and Thorndike (FST) of Quincy, MA (formerly doing business as Norfolk Ram Group) assisted by Dr. David Mitchell, CLM, were selected by the Town of Sherborn (the "Town") and the Farm Pond Advisory Committee (FPAC) as the technical consultant for this project in February 2014. This report provides the results from the field work conducted in spring-summer 2014, analytical results and the findings and recommendations based on these analyses. The report describes the tasks and activities contained in the final scope of work negotiated by the Town with FST. These tasks are organized into four chapters including: · Chapter 1 - Watershed Assessment: watershed base map, soil conditions, historical and current land use and review of existing water quality data and reports, and preliminary hydrologic model. · Chapter 2 - Field Work: water quality sampling, bathymetric confirmation, aquatic vegetation mapping, seepage measurements, and shoreline inspection. · Chapter 3 - Hydrologic and Pollutant Loading models: hydrologic budget, nutrient budget, stormwater contributions, and other sources. · Chapter 4 – Pond and Watershed Management Options: Evaluation of pond and watershed management and preservation options, solutions matrix with permit requirements and final recommendations. Additional information including field notes, laboratory analytical reports, water chemistry data, vegetation survey datasheets, etc. are provided in a series of Appendices. A glossary of aquatic terms is included at the end of this report to provide definitions of specialized limnological terms and expressions which may be unfamiliar to the lay public. Farm Pond Management Plan – November 2015 1 1.0 Watershed Mapping and Assessment Farm Pond (the “Pond”) is a natural waterbody situated within the Town of Sherborn in Middlesex County. The Pond is a kettle pond1 produced by the deposition and subsequent melting of glacial ice remnant produced by retreating glaciers during the last Ice Age. The surface area of the Pond is estimated at 126.3 acres and it drains a watershed area of approximately 409 acres2 within the larger Charles River basin (MADEP 2013). It has only one minor tributary and a relatively undeveloped watershed. There is an isolated shallow cove or embayment located on the eastern shoreline of the Pond, behind a constructed earth-covered rock berm, which apparently acts as an unregulated outlet. Farm Pond is listed as a Great Pond by the State of Massachusetts (MA EOEEA 2014). Table 1 provides a summary of the morphometric parameters associated with Farm Pond. The maximum depth is 58 ft with an average depth of just below 20 ft. It has a low shoreline development index (DL) indicative of its circular shape. Of particular note is the very low watershed to pond area ratio of approximately 3.2 to 1. This low ratio suggests a relatively limited influence of watershed land type on pond water quality.

    State of the Waters: Cape Cod 2019 Cape Cod Water Health Report State of the Waters: Cape Cod 2019 Cape Cod Water Health Report Association to Preserve Cape Cod October 1, 2019 Prepared by: Andrew Gottlieb, Jo Ann Muramoto, Ph.D., Jordanne Feldman, Bryan Horsley, Kristin Andres and Don Keeran 1. Introduction The State of the Waters: Cape Cod is an assessment of the Cape’s water quality, designed to help you understand the water quality problems that we face and the actions that are needed to address these problems. The Association to Preserve Cape Cod (APCC) launched this project in 2019 in order to answer the question: “How healthy are Cape Cod’s waters?” This website is the place to find out about the Cape’s water quality and what can be done to address water pollution and achieve clean water. For this multi-year project, APCC collected existing data on water quality on Cape Cod for the purpose of determining the health of Cape Cod’s waters. APCC evaluated water quality in coastal waters (saltwater), freshwater ponds and lakes, and public drinking water supplies. APCC used existing methods to score water quality and used the scores to distinguish between degraded surface waters where immediate action is needed to improve water quality vs. surface waters with acceptable quality where ongoing protection is needed to avoid any decline in quality. The results are summarized in this annual water health report. To guide public action, APCC prepared a Water Action Plan that contains recommendations for changes in policies, actions, and regulations to improve and protect our waters.
