This battle was fought on August 16, 1777, in a British effort to capture American storehouses in Bennington to restock their depleting provisions. Baum had entrenched his men at the bridge across the Walloomsac River, Dragoon Redoubt, and Tory Fort, which Stark successfully attacked. Colonel Warner's Vermont militia arrived in time to assist Stark's reconstituted force in repelling Breymann's relief column of some 600 men. The British forces had underestimated the strength of their enemy and failed to get the supplies they had sought, weakening General John Burgoyne's army at Saratoga. Baum and over 200 men died and 700 men surrendered. The Americans lost 30 killed and forty wounded The Site: Hessian Hill offers picturesque views and interpretative signs about the battle. Directions: Take Route 7 east to Route 22, then take Route 22 north to Route 67.

In a two-dimensional viewing, it is difficult to visualize the direction in which water naturally flows. A watershed map serves the purpose of identifying the direction in which all surface waters flow within a specific land area to a waterbody. Highpoints, such as ridges, mountains, and hills, form the typical dividing lines of watersheds and represent the point from which all water flows downward. Watersheds may be further divided into the smaller drainage areas, known as subwatersheds. Because municipal boundaries rarely follow watersheds, working in a watershed context requires communication and coordination between multiple municipalities. Maintaining healthy watersheds is important because they provide critical natural services that sustain and enrich our daily lives, such as plentiful and safe drinking water.

  • Analysis of Route Alternatives (Pdf)
    Analysis of Route Alternatives Assessing Feasibility - Planning Methodology Community Outreach and the Planning Process Public and stakeholder engagement was a critical part of the master planning process. Four public meetings were held (see photos at right) at key intervals during the planning process. Each of the meetings had strong participation, with over 100 people attending each event. Online outreach included direct emails to several local email lists and meeting notifications on the project’s website and Facebook page. Public comments were also solicited using a dedicated e-mail address as well as an online survey that received more than 450 responses. The Steering Committee helped raise awareness of the planning process and opportunities for public and stakeholder input by compiling a list of, and notifying, public agencies and local organizations that focused on topics such as recreational activities, preservation, and economic development. Many of these organizations distributed meeting announcements to their own lists of constituents, which increased awareness of this project and helped attract public participation. Public Meetings Meeting 1: February 17, 2014 Introduced the project and master planning process, along with trail types that might comprise the different alignment possibilities. edL a table mapping exercise in which participants provided detailed input on the route in three sections. Each section was discussed at three or more tables, after which each group presented their discussion to the larger group. Meeting 2: July 9, 2014 Provided updates on the route analysis, including Breakneck Connector funding application (see page 34 for more info on this project component). Fielded public comments and then responded to open questions, with the design team utilizing display boards and maps.

  • Open PDF File, 742.26 KB, for 2019 DWM Environmental Monitoring
    2019 DWM ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING OVERVIEW (CN 518.0) A brief overview of the surface water monitoring performed in 2019 by personnel of the MassDEP’s Division of Watershed Management (DWM) is presented here. Information pertaining to the individual components of DWM’s Surface Water Monitoring Program is presented at http://www.mass.gov/eea/agencies/massdep/water/watersheds/water-quality- monitoring-program.html#1. 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 aquatic life, primary and secondary contact recreation, fish consumption and aesthetics, are supported in the waters of the Commonwealth; . Collect chemical, physical and biological data to support analysis and development of TMDLs and 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; . Identify and assess new and emerging water contaminants of concern; . Collect water quality data to enable the determination of trends in parameter concentrations and/or loads; . Collect data to support the establishment or revision of water quality standards and policies; and to . Measure the effectiveness of water quality management projects or programs such as the effectiveness of implementing TMDLs or watershed-based plans. 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.

    ENRICHING PLACE 2013 NJ HISTORY AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION CONFERENCE June 6, 2013 | www.njpreservationconference.org N EWARK MUSEUM| NEWARK NEWARK MUSEUM Newark Welcome to the 2013 New Jersey History and Historic Preservation Conference at The Newark Museum! Enriching Place, the theme of this first combined History and Historic Preservation Conference is an evocative phrase for New Jerseyans. After witnessing the power and destruction of Hurricane Sandy last year, we are all more aware of how important place is. How important landmarks are as repositories of our shared experiences. How we use buildings and sites from our history to map a road to our future. This year’s program features author Tony Hiss who will speak to the idea and reality of place and how people experience it. His remarks will lead us into a full day of classroom sessions, tours, exhibits and workshops that will educate us about the details of preservation and accreditation, examine the necessity of disaster planning and recovery, and expand our understanding of special places in Newark, on the Raritan Waterfront and at the Statue of Liberty. During the day please visit with the sponsors and vendors in the exhibit area. It is the sponsors’ financial support for the History and Historic Preservation Conference that is vital in making this a self-supporting event. Best wishes for a successful conference!
