  • 2008 State of Connecticut Integrated Water Quality
    2008 STATE OF CONNECTICUT INTEGRATED WATER QUALITY REPORT PURSUANT TO SEC. 305(B) AND 303(D) OF THE FEDERAL CLEAN WATER ACT Introduction and Report Overview This report was prepared to satisfy statutory reporting requirements pursuant to both Sections 305(b) and 303(d) of the federal Clean Water Act (CWA). CWA Section 305(b) requires each State to monitor, assess and report on the quality of its waters relative to attainment of designated uses established by the State’s Water Quality Standards. Section 303(d) of the CWA requires each State to compile a subset of that list identifying only those waters not meeting water quality standards and assign a priority ranking for each impaired waterbody for Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) development or other management action. These reports are submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) every two years for review and, in the case of waters identified pursuant to Section 303(d), EPA approval. Chapter 1, Consolidated Assessment and Listing Methodology (CT CALM) describes the procedure used by CT-DEP to assess the quality of the State’s waters relative to attainment of Water Quality Standards. The CALM serves to document the protocols used by DEP to assess water quality data as well as establishing minimum standards for data acceptability to insure that only credible data are used to perform the assessments. Although the DEP relies most heavily on data collected as part of the Department’s Ambient Monitoring Program, data from other State and federal Agencies, local governments, drinking water utilities, volunteer organizations, and academic sources are also solicited and considered when making assessments.

  • The Shining Sea Bikeway: a Path Through the Natural History And
    THE SHINING SEA BIKEWAY A path through the natural history and cultural heritage of Falmouth on Cape Cod Photo: Stace Beaulieu The Shining Sea Bikeway is a 10.7 mile (17.2 km) journey of discovery through four of Falmouth’s villages, gently traversing glacier-sculpted natural wonders from Woods Hole on Vineyard Sound to North Falmouth along the shore of Buzzards Bay. Officially dedicated as a bicentennial project in 1975, and one of America’s first 500 rail trails, it has grown in four phases to its current length concluding with the extension to North Falmouth in 2009. The Bikeway occupies the rail bed of the now defunct New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company*. Train service ran from New York and Boston to Woods Hole from 1872 to 1965. More than just a paved, multi-use trail for residents and visitors to cycle, walk, jog, skate, and cross-country ski, the Shining Sea Bikeway is an enriching experience to connect people with nature and time - past, present and future. The Bikeway’s name honors Katharine Lee Bates, born in Falmouth in 1859, who penned “America the Beautiful,” with its line, “And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea!” Natural History The Shining Sea Bikeway is the only bikeway on Cape Cod that runs alongside the sea, providing views across salt marshes, barrier beaches, and open water. And with almost 25% of the Bikeway abutting conservation land along at least one side, the Bikeway brings you close to a variety of wooded uplands, cedar swamps, and ponds.
