  • 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.

  • Walking Guide
    Walking Guideto the Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers Valley National Heritage Corridor We offer these suggestions for a pleasant walking experience: e Conditions of trails change according to the weather, the seasons and standards of ownership. Some trails are more rugged and isolated than others. Proper precautions should be taken. e Tell a responsible person the destination and estimated time of return for all trips. e If you become lost — stay put and wait to be found. A sig- naling device, such as a whistle is a useful addition to your daypack. e Wear footwear that provides proper support for hiking. e Dress in clothing that protects against deer ticks, other insects and the weather. e Include rain gear in your daypack. e Carry water and supplemental snacks. e Locate and use a trail map for the area. e Trail Courtesy: Leave no trace. Take nothing, leave noth- ing behind. e Caution should be used during hunting season in spring and fall, and some areas should be avoided.

  • 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 purpose is to identify potential sources of bacteria that have resulted in the periodic inclusion of both waterbodies in the State of Connecticut’s Impaired Waters (303d) list. ECCD will use the bacteria data to develop a subwatershed-based plan for the French River watershed. Segment 01 of the French River (CT3300-00_01), located from the confluence of the French River with the Quinebaug River upstream to the outlet dam of North Grosvenordale Pond, has been listed in multiple cycles of the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection’s Integrated Water Quality Report to Congress, most recently in 2010, as impaired for recreation due to periodic high levels of the pathogen indicator bacteria Escherichia coli (E. coli). No specific pathogen sources have been identified.
