Winthrop CAUSES OF COASTAL FLOODING IN BOSTON HARBOR There are Three Separate Phenomena that Cause Climate Coastal Flooding in Boston Harbor * Sea Level Rise * Storm Surge * Subsidence SEA LEVEL RISE • Gradual in short-term and mid-term and subject to longer term prediction • Near Term: nuisance flooding with minimal damage STORM SURGE • Storm Surge is caused by extreme weather events such as Tropical Cyclones and Nor’ Easters • Storms are more frequent and getting stronger due to climate change • 2020 Records: 30 Named Atlantic Storms 12 Hit US • Fifteen of the Most Destructive US Storms in History have occurred since 2004 • Storm Surge Devastation Must Be Considered a More Urgent and More Devastating Threat than Sea Level Rise 2018 NOR’EASTERS A WAKE UP CALL ➢ The Entire Boston Harbor Region Was Impacted ➢ Public Safety and Security in All Coastal Communities ➢ Massachusetts Economy as well as the Region ➢ The Marine Ecology of Boston Harbor ➢ Our Social Justice Goals and Values A BOSTON HARBOR COASTAL RESILIENCY REGIONAL “LAYERED DEFENSE” SYSTEM OFFERS REGIONAL PROTECTION • A Boston Harbor coastal resiliency layered defense system with local land based coastal infrastructure for local protection against sea level rise combined with a regional sea gate system that provides regional protection storm surge has many advantages over a combined land based system LAND BASED COASTAL RESILIENCY INFRASTRUCTURE HAS LIMITATIONS • Flood walls separate the public from the water • Leave water dependent uses unprotected such as ferries, water taxi facilities, marinas, commercial terminals, piers docks, tank farms, air and land transportation facilities • Risk catastrophic overtopping • Leave communities outside Boston with insufficient benefit to justify cost • Leave poor and low income without uniform protection ADVANTAGES OF A LAYERED DEFENSE COASTAL RESILIENCY SYSTEM • Doesn’t leave communities outside Boston with insufficient benefit to justify cost • Provides uniform storm surge protection to all communities including poor and low income that are most devastated by storm surge flooding • Provides comprehensive protection for all public and private coastal infrastructure • Ensures regional public safety and economic protection The Economic Benefits of a Boston Harbor Regional “Layered Defense” System Protection of Public Infrastructure Protection of Residential and Commercial structures Reduction in Flood Related Building Code Costs Preservation of Private Asset Value and Public Tax Base Improved Municipal and Corporate Bond Ratings Increased Coastal Development Due to New Flood Related Zoning Restrictions Reduction in Business Disruption Costs Reduction in Insurance Costs Elimination of Mandatory FEMA and Other Federal Insurance Requirements Reduction in Cost of Perimeter Land Based Coastal Resilience Infrastructure Reduction in Storm Water Pumping and Retention Facility Costs Reduction in Public Safety Costs STUDY OF LAYERED DEFENSE OPTION IS GOOD PUBLIC POLICY • A layered defense could provide greater safety and protection of the Massachusetts economy for lower cost without greater environmental or other impacts of a combined land based infrastructure THE OPTION OF A BOSTON HARBOR REGIONAL COASTAL RESILIENCY LAYERED DEFENSE SYSTEM MERITS FURTHER STUDY The 2018 UMASS Study* now guiding public policy did not Include analysis of a regional “layered defense” or “hybrid system” where a regional storm surge sea gate system was operated together with municipal shoreline sea level defenses “One option not explored is a hybrid solution where a barrier is only used to manage low frequency, intense events with a limited number of closures during a decade and shore-based alternatives manage all other events while providing complementary protection to the events managed by a barrier system.” (P 173) • “Feasibility of Harbor-wide Barrier Systems, Preliminary Analysis for Boston Harbor” AN IN-DEPTH COST BENEFIT FEASIBILITY STUDY IS NECESSARY • An Expanded Study of a Boston Harbor Regional Coastal Resiliency System should begin with an in-depth cost benefit feasibility study since UMass Boston Study’s conclusion regarding a harbor-wide regional system was based on economics not environmental or other Impacts “The analysis has shown that while a harbor-wide barrier system would manage coastal flooding with perhaps minimal environmental impacts and moderate impacts on harbor users, its cost-effectiveness is low, and its operational period may extend only 50 to 60 years.” UMASS Boston ‘Feasibility of Harbor-wide Barrier Systems, Preliminary Analysis for Boston Harbor” (P 172) Cost Factors to be Included in Cost Benefit Feasibility Analysis • Cost and operational effectiveness of different locations and designs • Design life options • Alternative construction methods • Construction time frame • Multiple beneficial uses • Discount rates • Finance options POSSIBLE LOCATION OPTIONS TO BE STUDIED Sea Gate Systems are Proven Technology in the US and Europe The Systems in New Bedford, Providence and Stamford Connecticut Have Operated Reliably for Over Fifty Years Urgent Need to Act • Imminent Threat of Continuing Storm Surge Devastation • To Obtain Federal Funding Boston Harbor Municipalities We Need a Shovel Worthy Regional Coastal Layered Defense Regional Plan CONCLUSION • Coastal flooding in the fifteen cities and towns that flood through Boston Harbor is a regional issue that requires a regional solution that addresses local funding and private landowner issues and integrates municipal local infrastructure plans into a cost effect, comprehensive regional system • A Boston Harbor Regional Layered Defense System offers significant potential advantages as a regional protection system • As a matter of sound and prudent public policy, the Commonwealth we must proceed immediately with an in- depth cost benefit analysis to determine the economic viability of a coastal resiliency option that has already provided protection to three other New England Cities and is currently being evaluated by other major cities in the United States and around the World.

  • A Roxbury Review: Conglomerates of Greater Boston
    C2-1 A ROXBURY REVIEW by Margaret D. Thompson, Department of Geosciences, Wellesley College Anne M. Grunow, Byrd Polar Research Center, Ohio State University INTRODUCTION Conglomerate throughout the Boston Basin in eastern Massachusetts (Fig. 1) has long been called after the Roxbury district of Boston (early references in Holmes, 1859 and Shaler, 1869) and subdivided into three members typified by strata in the encircling communities of Brookline, Dorchester and the Squantum section of Quincy, MA (Emerson, 1917). NEIGC field trips, beginning with one led by W.O. Crosby in 1905, and also GSA-related field trips have provided regular opportunities for generations of geologists to debate the depositional settings of all of these rocks, particularly the possible glacial origin of the Squantum "Tillite". It appears, however, that none of these outings has ever included a stop in Roxbury itself (Table I and lettered localities in Fig. 1). A main purpose of this trip will be to visit the nominal Roxbury type locality in a section of the historic quarries where recent re-development includes the newly opened Puddingstone Park. Other stops will permit comparison of type Roxbury Conglomerate with other rocks traditionally assigned to this formation and highlight geochronological and paleomagnetic data bearing on the ages of these units.

  • 'Tillite', Boston Basin
    SEDIMENTOLOGY OF THE SQUANTUM ‘TILLITE’, BOSTON BASIN, USA: MODERN ANALOGUES AND IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PALEOCLIMATE DURING THE GASKIERS GLACIATION (c. 580 Ma) by Shannon Leigh Carto A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy Graduate Department of Geology University of Toronto © Copyright by Shannon Leigh Carto, 2011 SEDIMENTOLOGY OF THE SQUANTUM ‘TILLITE’, BOSTON BASIN, USA: MODERN ANALOGUES AND IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PALEOCLIMATE DURING THE GASKIERS GLACIATION (c. 580 Ma) Shannon Leigh Carto Doctorate of Philosophy, 2011 Graduate Department of Geology University of Toronto ABSTRACT The Gaskiers glaciation (c. 580 Ma) has been classically traced along the Neoproterozoic Avalonian-Cadomian Terranes, which are now found scattered around the North Atlantic Ocean. Around 625 Ma these terranes were composed of volcanoes and arc- type basins. ‗Till-like‘ diamictite horizons identified within these basins have been used as evidence for a ‗Snowball Earth-type‘ glaciation at 580 Ma. However, others argue that these deposits are non-glacial debris flow deposits. To test the non-glacial interpretation of these deposits, a detailed sedimentological and basin analysis was conducted on the Neoproterozoic Squantum Member that occurs conformably with the volcanic-sedimentary rocks of the Boston Bay Group (eastern Massachusetts); this deposit is one of the most referenced ‗tillite‘ deposits for the Gaskiers glaciation. This thesis shows that the ‗tillites‘ of this succession are volcanically-influenced non-glacial debrites. Using the Lesser Antilles Arc and the adjacent Grenada Basin in the Caribbean Sea as a modern depositional analogue for the Avalonian- Cadomian Terranes, this study further reveals that debris flow facies types (diamicts) comparable to those of the Avalonian-Cadomian Terranes are produced at this modern arc and are recorded in the fill of the Grenada Basin.

  • Birdobserver3.5 Page156-160 Birds of the Squantum and Wollaston Beach Area Edward J. Morrier.Pdf
    BIRDS OF THE SQUMTUM AND WOLLASTON BEACH AREA by Edward J. Morrier, Squantum The Squantum-Wollaston Beach area has a surprising diversity of birds for land so close to the center of Boston. This is even more remarkable because much of this section of Quincy supports mar^ industrial and commercial establishments, and only the marshes and beaches have substantial conservation protection. Squantum is a place where one can see such incongruous sights as a Snowy Owl perched on a Junk pile, or a flock of Glossy Ibis flying gracefully over a field of burnt out boat hulks. To reach Squantum from Boston and the north, take the Southeast Expressway to the Nepon- set exit, then follow the signs to Wollaston. From the south, take the Furnace Brook Parkway exit of the Southeast Expressway and follow the parkway to its end, where it meets Quincy Shore Drive. The area can also be covered by MBTA, but it requires consid­ erable walking. Take the Red Line, Quincy Train, to North Quincy Station. Then walk down East Squantum Street approximately one mile to the Cove, or take the hourly Squantum bus and have the driver let you off on the causeway. SquantUTTi Start your Squantum birding at the Maswatuset Hummock and Cove Area. The Hum­ mock is undergoing some landscaping work, including a new parking lot that is scheduled for completion this fall. From August to May, the Cove is particularly good for shore- birds and gulls at four hours before and after high tide. This is one of the best places in the state for Black-headed Gulls during the winter.
