  • Open PDF File, 95.38 KB, for 2007 Environmental Monitoring Summary
    2007 DWM ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING OVERVIEW (CN 278.0) Water quality monitoring, assessment and management activities of the MassDEP are sequentially performed in accordance with a rotating five-year watershed schedule. Surface waters are typically monitored during Year 2 of the cycle by the Division of Watershed Management’s (DWM) Watershed Planning Section. The main programmatic objectives of the DWM related to surface water quality monitoring are to: Collect chemical, physical and biological data to assess the degree to which designated uses, such as primary and secondary contact recreation, fish consumption, aquatic life and aesthetics, are being met in waters of the Commonwealth; Collect chemical, physical and biological data to support analysis and development of implementation plans to reduce pollutant loads to waters of the Commonwealth; Screen fish in selected waterbodies for fish tissue contaminants (metals, PCBs and organochlorine pesticides) to provide for public health risk assessment; To the extent feasible, locate pollution sources and promote and facilitate timely correction; Over the long term, collect water quality data to enable the determination of trends in parameter concentrations and/or loads; Develop new or revised standards, which may require short-term research monitoring directed towards the establishment or revision of water quality policies and standards; and to Measure the effectiveness of water quality management projects or programs (such as the effectiveness of implementing TMDLs, Best Management Practices (BMP) for the control of nonpoint pollution, or a state-wide policy or permitting program). Quality assurance is maintained for DWM’s watershed monitoring program to ensure implementation of an effective and efficient sampling design, to meet programmatic goals and to provide data meeting specific data quality objectives.

SULLIVAN Town Administrator October 18, 2016 Chrystal Kornegay, Undersecretary Department ofHousing and Community Development 100 Cambridge Street, Suite 300 Boston, MA 02114-2524 Attn: Phil DeMartino RE: Medfield Housing Production Plan Dear Ms. Kornegay: On behalfofthe Medfield Board of Selectmen and Planning Board, I am pleased to submit the attached Medfield Housing Production Plan for your review and approval under the State's Housing Production Program. The Board of Selectmen and the Planning Board approved this affordable housing plan for submission to the State at their joint meeting on October 17, 2016. This Housing Plan is the product ofan ambitious planning effort that the Town has been engaged in for approximately three years, involving representatives from many Town boards and committees, Town staff, as well as interested residents. Through the Housing Needs Assessment we were able to document the extent ofthe local need for affordable housing and through the Housing Strategy we have developed a comprehensive approach for promoting affordable housing throughout the community. These strategies and accompanying production goals represent a challenging housing agenda for Medfield and we have already embarked on its implementation by recently creating a senior housing study committee and offering support for expansion ofthe Medfield Housing Authority's senior affordable rental development known as Tilden Village. Our municipal contact is: Sarah Raposa, Town Planner (508) 906-3027 [email protected] We look forward to your determination that the plan meets HPP Regulations and Guidelines.

It was open only from 7 to 9 on Saturday nights and on those same nights in the same room the Norfolk Brass Band rehearsed. It must have been a lively place. In 1898 the library was moved to the Tower Room on the second floor of the remodeled Center School right next to the Federated Church. It stayed there until in 1919 the town appropriated $350.00 to rent and furnish a room i:s t~ old Baptist Church.
