As stated in the Substate Agreement (Paragraph A.3.4), the Town is required to I submit a draft Final Report for the Division's review and comment. Subsequently, the Town must submit a Final Report that incorporates the Division's comments and corrections. Final payment of a 10% I retainage would be released upon acceptance of the Final Report by the Division (Paragraph 1.7 of the Substate Agreement). Prior to the completion of this Phase I project, most of the I resources and staff of the Clean Lakes program were reallocated by the Department of Environmental Protection. As one consequence of these actions, a thorough and timely review of this report was not I feasible. Since the Town and its subcontractor, Baystate Environmental Consultants, Inc., should not be burdened, unduly,^the Division adopted an interim procedure of checking draft final I reports solely to determine whether the scope of work (Appendix A of the Substate Agreement) had been met.

  • Open PDF File, 163.51 KB, for Massachusetts Great Ponds List
    Massachusetts Great Ponds List Any project located in, on, over or under the water of a great pond is within the jurisdiction of Chapter 91. A great pond is defined as any pond or lake that contained more than 10 acres in its natural state. Ponds that once measured 10 or more acres in their natural state, but which are now smaller, are still considered great ponds. This is a county-by-county listing of great ponds in Massachusetts, according to a 1996 Waterways Program Study. This listing was last revised in September 2017 (updating ponds in Hopkinton, Milford, and Upton).
