2019 Environmental Merit Awards Ceremony
ENVIRONMENTAL MERIT AWARDS 2019 for outstanding efforts in preserving New England’s environment ceremony sept 10 environmental merit awards | 2welcome WELCOME TO THE 2019 ENVIRONMENTAL MERIT AWARDS CEREMONY DEDICATION POSTHUMOUS DOUGLAS M. COSTLE MCLEAN, VIRGINIA Douglas M. Costle was among the driving forces in the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency in 1970. After Richard M. Nixon was inaugurated in 1969, Doug was recruited to the White House Advisory Council on Executive Organization where he played a major role in conceptualizing the agency. He was appointed by Presi- dent Jimmy Carter to serve as EPA’s administrator from 1977 to 1981. At his first news conference, Doug noted that “Clean air is not an aesthetic luxury. It is a public health necessity.” Doug advanced the argument, new at the time, that environmental regulation supported eco- nomic development because it preserved resources. Doug served as dean of Vermont Law School from 1987 to 1991. He died this year at his home in McLean, Virginia. environmental merit awards | in service to states Ira W.

Presentation Andreae introduced Adriana Cillo, the Educational Coordinator of Boston Water and Sewer Commission (BWSC), and Meg Tabacsko, MWRA Project Manager for School Education, and Danielle DiRuzza, School Program Administrative Coordinator, both from the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority. Adriana is a member of WAC, and is the Educational Programs Coordinator with BWSC. At the start of her presentation, she explained that she spent her first 5-6 months of the job learning about BWSC, and then developed a program that would introduce BWSC to people who were unfamiliar with it. She provides education and outreach to approximately 2,500 kids and 600-700 adults annually. Adriana shared a presentation that she uses for Boston schoolchildren. She shows images and information about the Quabbin and Wachusett Reservoirs and explains what an aqueduct is, so they learn how the water travels from the Quabbin Reservoir to their homes.

The Revolutionary War Battle of Chelsea Creek – Grounding the Historical Narrative Through Cultural Landscape Analysis
THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR BATTLE OF CHELSEA CREEK – GROUNDING THE HISTORICAL NARRATIVE THROUGH CULTURAL LANDSCAPE ANALYSIS Victor T. Mastone Massachusetts Board of Underwater Archaeological Resources Craig J. Brown University of Edinburgh Christopher V. Maio University of Alaska, Fairbanks The Battle of Chelsea Creek (May 27–28, 1775) is often overlooked as part of the siege of Boston. Today, the area encompassing the battlefield is a heavily modified urban-industrial landscape, and the associated development activities have severely obscured the major landscape features and archeological resources associated with the battle. With funding from the National Park Service’s American Battlefield Protection Program, a geospatial and temporal assessment of the location, extent, and preservation potential of the Chelsea Creek battlefield and its associated cultural resources was undertaken. By re-examining the documentary record and using GIS analysis, a digital elevation model, and a military terrain model (KOCOA), this investigation created a high-resolution spatial and temporal dataset of Boston’s historical landscape during the time of the American Revolution. The visualization and geospatial analysis of landscapes and significant historical events greatly enhances the understanding of temporal and spatial interactions between these events and the physical landscape upon which they occurred. La bataille de Chelsea Creek (27 au 28 mai 1775) est souvent ignorée comme faisant partie du siège de Boston. Aujourd’hui, la région englobant le champ de bataille est un paysage urbain et industriel fortement altéré, et les activités d’aménagement associées ont gravement occulté les principales caractéristiques du paysage et les ressources archéologiques associées à la bataille. Grâce au financement du Programme de protection des champs de bataille américains du service des parcs nationaux, une évaluation géospatiale et temporelle du lieu, de l’étendue et du potentiel de préservation du champ de bataille de Chelsea Creek, et de ses ressources culturelles connexes a été entreprise.

Second Burial Ground of the North Parish North Andover, Massachusetts
Second Burial Ground of the North Parish North Andover, Massachusetts A history told through headstones, family markers, town records, and the preservation efforts of many A Town Begins – and Grows European settlement in this area dates back to around 1640. General Court records of 1642 included the village of Cochichewick (by the Great Pond) in the newly formed Essex County. With the arrival of more immigrants and the founding of a church in 1645, the settlement was renamed Andover. By the 18th century, the population had grown and spread, and a call arose for a second church in the south end of town, creating a North (or First) Parish and a South Parish for the new church. This was followed by a West Parish in 1826. Eventually the town of Andover would formally spit along parish lines into the present day North Andover (North Parish) and Andover (South and West Parish). Following the English tradition, a town’s cemetery was located next to the Meetinghouse where both religious services and town meetings were held. The first burying ground still exists today on Academy Road, although the town’s first Meetinghouse has been replaced four times. The original burying ground did not officially close until 1851, however, by the early 1800s it had reached its capacity. On March 6, 1817, at a town meeting of the inhabitants of the North Parish in Andover, the men gathered to form a committee “…to See where a piece of Land may be purchased Sutabel (sic) for a burying ground.” About a month later on April 14 it was formerly voted to buy 1½ acres of land from Jonathan Stevens for a sum of $243.75.
