CONNECTICUT 06268 • EDITOR'S FOREWORD The Thames River system is located in a section of southern New England that has escaped the extreme alterations of the industrial revolution and later urbanization. It has, unfortunately, suffered the consequences of dam construction causing the disappearance of anadromous fish, and industrial and domestic pollution which degraded water quality in some areas to a marginal fisheries habitat. Enough unspoiled areas are left, unaltered by dams, pollution and the developer, to reward the knowledgeable observer with a glimpse of what it was and what it could be again. As part of the program for restoration of anadromous fish to the Thames River system, it was decided to make a general biological survey of the system to document present conditions .

  • Spotlight on Mansfield Hollow Lake, a Different Kind of Lake

    Spotlight on Mansfield Hollow Lake, a Different Kind of Lake

    Spotlight on Mansfield Hollow Lake, a Different Kind of Lake Mansfield Hollow Lake is an engineered impoundment of the Natchaug, Mount Hope and Fenton Rivers that resulted from the installation of a flood control project. The main function of the basin behind the dam is for flood control, although the lake is also used for many popular recreational activities. The CT DEEP Fisheries Division manages a northern pike nursery near one of the lake inlets and a boat launch for public use. The floodplain behind the dam is managed by the CT DEEP as Mansfield Hollow State Park. Swimming in the lake prohibited in the park by Connecticut State Statute section 25-43 due to its proximity to a downstream surface water drinking water intake. Landing of pontoon planes on the lake is also a prohibited activity under this legislation. Construction of the Mansfield Hollow Dam by the US Army Corp of Engineers was completed in 1952. The lake that formed behind the dam in Mansfield Hollow stretches over 450 acres through Mansfield, Windham, and Chaplin. It has a maximum depth of 16.5 feet. The flood storage area of the project, which is normally empty and is only utilized to store floodwaters, totals 1,880 acres and extends about three miles up the Natchaug River, 2.3 miles up the Mount Hope River, and 3.2 miles up the Fenton River. The project and associated lands cover 2,581 acres. Mansfield Hollow Lake can store up to 8.3 billion gallons of water for flood control purposes. This is equivalent to 6.1 inches of water covering its drainage area of 159 square miles.

    New Wellfield Along the Willimantic River

    10.0 EVALUATION OF NEW WELLFIELD(S) ALONG THE WILLIMANTIC RIVER 10.1 ASSESSMENT OF FEASIBILITY Unlike an interconnection with an established supply source, the development of a new groundwater source cannot be evaluated with respect to existing available water. Instead, the ability to develop a particular yield from a new groundwater source is dependent upon available historical information from borings, monitoring wells, and site-specific studies. This data has been complied for each of four potential wellfields along the Willimantic River, two near Mansfield Depot (MD-1 and MD-3) and two near Eagleville Preserve (EP-4 and EP-5). Included in this assessment is recent work undertaken by the Town of Mansfield to analyze a number of potential groundwater sources along the Willimantic River. As summary of locations follows: Alternative #6A is potential wellfield MD-1, located on private property south of Route 44. Most of this property is currently used for agriculture. Alternative #6B is potential wellfield MD-3 located in River Park. The site is owned by the Town of Mansfield and is currently used for recreation. Alternative #6C is potential wellfield EP-4, located in the State-owned northern portion of Eagleville Preserve. This area is currently forested wetland. Alternative #6D is potential wellfield EP-5, located in the southern portion of Eagleville Preserve owned by the Town of Mansfield. 10.1.1 POTENTIAL WELLFIELDS NEAR MANSFIELD DEPOT (MD-1 & MD-3) A number of historic and more recent publications have analyzed potential groundwater aquifers in the Mansfield Depot area.

    Upper Natchaug River Healthy Watershed Implementation Plan Jean Pillo, Watershed Conservation Project Manager Eastern Connecticut Conservation District Project 15-03 is funded in part by a US EPA Clean Water Act § 319 NPS grant through the CT DEEP What do we mean by upper Natchaug? • The Natchaug Watershed is ~175 square miles. • ECCD documented pollution sources completed a watershed based plan for the lower 10 square miles Natchaug watershed in 2014. • Previously, EPA Clean Water Act funds were only available to clean up pollution from non- point sources. • Upper Natchaug Healthy Watershed Implementation Plan may allow federal funds to be used for pollution prevention in the future. Natchaug CAP Re-CAP Holly Drinkuth The Nature Conservancy Why the Upper Natchaug was selected for the first Healthy Watershed Plan in CT Eric Thomas, Watershed Manager CT Department of Energy and Environmental Protection What are we trying to accomplish • In partnership with CT DEEP, ECCD will identify (map) where the streams, lakes and ponds are not polluted and share this information with the municipalities. • ECCD will identify and recommend cost-effective methods to protect those high quality waters and watershed services they provide to the local communities. • With guidance from the Stakeholders, ECCD will develop and conduct a community outreach campaign to build an increased awareness regarding the natural ecosystem services and long-term benefits of healthy watersheds for resilient communities. • The final Natchaug River Healthy Watershed Implementation Plan will enhance the capacity (Towns, heath districts, COGs and others) to support the healthy watershed planning process (including reduced drinking water treatment and infrastructure costs).

TROUT- RIVERS & STREAMS – Many are letting us know that trout fishing continues to be good to very good. The main advice is to “move around” and to “try different offerings” as the fish are spread out and have been “finicky” at times. Flows remain near-perfect for fishing in many areas (see stream flow graphic on page 4), temperatures continue to be comfortable for both trout and anglers (although look for more heat next week), and the weather forecast is good. While not currently an issue anywhere, you can check stream flows anytime (real time stream flow data from 68 USGS gauging stations can be found at the USGS web site). Anglers are finding good action at many areas throughout the state. Anglers should remember to try a number of tactics and methods until you find what the triggers the fish to hit. Insect hatches are near peak in terms of the diversity of species at one time.
