I / I I I I DIAGNOSTIC/FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF I THE PEMBROKE PONDS, OLDHAM, FURNACE, LITTLE SANDY BOTTOM AND STETSON I PEMBROKE, MASSACHUSETTS I PREPARED FOR THE TOWN OF PEMBROKE I AND THE I MASSACHUSETTS DIVISION OF WATER POLLUTION CONTROL I UNDER MGL CHAP. 628 I MASSACHUSETTS CLEAN LAKES PROGRAM I BY BAYSTATE ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS, INC. I 296 NORTH MAIN STREET I EAST LONGMEADOW, MASSACHUSETTS I I JANUARY 1993 I I I I I DISCLAIMER This report was funded under a cost sharing Substate Agreement I between the Commonwealth of Massachusetts through its Division of Water Pollution Control (Division), Clean Lakes Program (Chapter 628, Acts of 1981), and the Town of Pembroke. As stated in the Substate Agreement (Paragraph A.3.4), the Town is required to I submit a draft Final Report for the Division's review and comment. Subsequently, the Town must submit a Final Report that incorporates the Division's comments and corrections. Final payment of a 10% I retainage would be released upon acceptance of the Final Report by the Division (Paragraph 1.7 of the Substate Agreement). Prior to the completion of this Phase I project, most of the I resources and staff of the Clean Lakes program were reallocated by the Department of Environmental Protection. As one consequence of these actions, a thorough and timely review of this report was not I feasible. Since the Town and its subcontractor, Baystate Environmental Consultants, Inc., should not be burdened, unduly,^the Division adopted an interim procedure of checking draft final I reports solely to determine whether the scope of work (Appendix A of the Substate Agreement) had been met. This Draft Final Report has been checked by the Division, any discrepancies have been rectified by Baystate Environmental Consultants, Inc. and, at a I minimum, it does fulfill all requirements specified in the scope of work. The Division has, therefore, accepted this report in accordance with Paragraphs 1.7 and A. 3.4 of the Substate Agreement I and it has released the 10% retainage to the Town for subsequent reimbursement to Baystate Environmental Consultants, Inc. I It should be emphasized, however, that this report has not been subjected to a full and thorough review by the Division as in the past and, therefore, the quality and completeness of this report, and the assessments and recommendations contained therein, I represent primarily the work and judgements of Baystate I Environmental'Consultants, Inc.
