Massachusetts Freshwater Beaches [2018]: Water Quality Data for Public and Semi-Public Beaches
Massachusetts Freshwater Beaches [2018]: Water quality data for public and semi-public beaches The table below summarizes testing and posting information for each freshwater beach in Massachusetts. Under the state regulations, freshwater beaches must test for either E. coli or Enterococci. Most beaches do not have to post after each exceedance, provided that (1) they take an immediate resample and (2) that resample does not exceed the standard. Thus, a beach may have an exceedance but no days posted. Conversely, a beach may have days posted, but no exceedances, if it was posted for a reason other than a bacterial exceedance (e.g. rainfall, a cyanobacterial harmful algae bloom, or another hazard such as limited visibility due to poor water clarity).

Silviculture Prescription Beaman Pond Lot Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation Bureau of Forestry Mid State District Otter River State Forest – Beaman Pond Lot Baldwinville and Winchendon, MA Prepared by: Joelle Vautour – Management Forester – Mid State District Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation 355 West Boylston Street Clinton, MA 01510 [email protected] – 978-368-0126 ext. 128 June 2016 Approved by: Management Forestry Program Supervisor ______________________________ Date:___________ William N. Hill, CF 1 SITE DATA Cultural and Historical The Beaman Pond Lot is part of the Otter River State Forest complex and is located partially in the northeastern corner of Baldwinville (Templeton) and in the southern portion of Winchendon. Purchased in 1915 and formally established in 1917, it is the first state forest. The Otter River State Forest complex is currently comprised of three separate, non-contiguous state forest parcels, totaling nearly 1,000 acres. In addition, DCR leases approximately 4,200 acres of land in the area, including the Lake Dennison Recreation Area from the United States Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE). The Beaman Pond lot consists of approximately 290 acres, whereas approximately 239 acres will be harvested. Prior to 1935, Otter River State Forest was comprised of 1,992 acres which connected and included all three state forest parcels which are currently non-contiguous (see Plan of the Otter River State Forest in Winchendon, Templeton and Royalston, 1918). In 1935, the ACOE, by a Declaration of Taking, acquired 1,163 acres of state forest land in the Millers River and Otter River watershed for flood control operations.

Natural Resources & Ospace Chapter
Chapter prepared by the Montachusett Regional Planning Commission CHAPTER 1 NATURAL RESOURCES AND OPEN SPACE This chapter, Natural Resources and Open Space, addresses some of the most important assets of the Town of Athol: its rolling hills, steep ridges, forests, remnant farmlands and meadows, streams, ponds, wetlands and aquifers, and the Millers River. It describes past and potential future land use trends, and presents an overview of Athol’s landscape character and a selective inventory of the Town's natural resources. The Town’s extensive natural and open space areas are essential elements in the economic, social, and ecological fabric of Athol. The quantity, quality, and spatial relationships between Athol’s open space and natural resources are identified. Due to the similar subject matter, aspects of the 2000 Athol Open Space and Recreation Plan Update have been incorporated into the contents of this chapter. This work includes mapping and inventories of land use, wetlands, and ridgelines. Information on water resources and open space inventories has been updated from the Open Space Plan. Available information related to water quality and fisheries is presented within a watershed context, since sources of pollution upstream have a direct impact on the quality of water, wildlife, and fisheries that move downstream in the Millers River and its tributaries. In 2000, the Town of Athol completed its Open Space and Recreation Plan Update. As part of this effort a community survey was distributed to 5,256 households and nearly sixteen percent (16%) of the surveys were returned. The survey findings were instrumental in shaping the goals and objectives for both the Open Space and Recreation Plan and the Natural Resources and Open Space chapter of the Master Plan.

Massachusetts Department of Environmental Management Hydrologic Assessment of the Millers River
Massachusetts Department of Environmental Management Hydrologic Assessment of the Millers River Prepared By: In Cooperation with: Gomez and Sullivan Executive Office of Engineers & Environmental Affairs, Environmental Scientists Massachusetts Watershed 55 North Stark Highway Initiative, Millers River Weare, NH 03281 Basin Final Report, April 2003 Executive Summary ES1.0 Introduction In 1994, Massachusetts embarked on a new approach to environmental management- the Watershed Initiative. The Watershed Initiative is a broad partnership of state and federal agencies, conservation organizations, businesses, municipal officials and individuals. The Initiative is an innovative, results-oriented program that protects and restores natural resources and ecosystems on a watershed basis. Watershed Teams, such as the Millers River Watershed Team, were created with the goal of understanding watersheds and improving the overall health of the ecosystem. This study was prepared for and funded by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Environmental Affairs, on behalf of the Millers River Watershed Team, as part of the Massachusetts Watershed Initiative. The purpose of this project is to provide a comprehensive assessment of the current and potential impacts that human activities in the Millers River Basin have on flow-dependent natural resources. There are numerous human activities in the Millers River Basin that affect the timing, magnitude, frequency, and rate of change of natural flows in the Millers River and its tributaries including: • public and
