    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).

  • South Shore Coastal Watersheds
    SOUTH SHORE COASTAL WATERSHEDS - LAKE ASSESSMENTS A total of 167 lakes, ponds or impoundments (the term "lakes" will hereafter be used to include all) have been identified and assigned Pond and Lake Information System (PALIS) code numbers in the South Shore Coastal Watersheds (Ackerman 1989 and MassDEP 2005b). The total surface area of the South Shore Coastal Watersheds PALIS lakes is 4,815 acres. The PALIS lakes range in size from less than one to 617 acres and lie wholly or partly within 13 of the watershed’s 16 communities. However, over three quarters of the lakes are clustered in four communities - Duxbury, Kingston, Pembroke, and Plymouth - in the south central portion of the watershed. Plymouth alone contains 42% of all the lakes. This report presents information on 78 lakes totaling 4,242 acres and ranging in size from three to 617 acres (Figure 14). The remaining lakes are not currently included as segments in the WBS database and, therefore, are unassessed. Fourteen lakes are designated as Class A Public Water Supplies and Outstanding Resource Waters; accounting for 43% (1,846 acres) of the assessed acreage. Sources of Information The Department of Conservation Resources (DCR), Lakes and Ponds Program, provides grant funding and technical assistance to communities and citizen groups, helps to monitor water quality at various public beaches to ensure public safety, and provides education materials to the public about various lake issues. Since 1994 the following ten Lakes and Ponds Program grants have been awarded within the South Shore Coastal Watersheds. For more information see Table 3 Lake Use Assessment, below, and Appendix F.

  • Massdot Is Committed to Improving the Quality of Stormwater Runoff from Its Highways
    MassDOT is committed to improving the quality of stormwater runoff from its highways. Through the “Impaired Waters Program,” MassDOT addresses stormwater runoff from its roadways draining to impaired water bodies as part of compliance with the NPDES Phase II Small MS4 General Permit. Stormwater best management practices (BMPs) are implemented to the maximum extent practicable through two methods: retrofit projects and programmed projects. Retrofit projects are tracked within the MassDOT Impaired Waters Program Database, while programmed projects are tracked through this Water Quality Data Form (WQDF). The goal of the WQDF is to raise awareness of the necessity to implement stormwater BMPs during programmed projects and to capture information about stormwater BMPs that are implemented. There are two WQDFs required as part of each programmed project. One is specific to the 25% design stage, and the other is specific to the 75% design stage. Please download the latest version of the WQDF from the MassDOT website. Please fill out the tab titled “75% Design Form,” and check the box at the bottom of the form to ensure that all questions have been answered adequately. Please submit this form in Excel format only and name your file with the convention WQDF25_projectnumber.xlsm. Submit the form to your MassDOT project manager as part of the project's electronic submittal. An interactive web map is available to aid in filling out the WQDF. It is available at http://mass.gov/massdot/map/wqdf. If MassDOT has requested that the form be revised and resubmitted, resubmit the form using the naming convention WQDF75_projectnumber_rev.xlsm.

Plymouth Pond and Lake Atlas 1 June, 2015 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Plymouth is a town blessed with hundreds of ponds and lakes. Early histories of the town recount use of the ponds for fishing and establishment of herring runs. 1 Later developments show the use of the ponds as drinking water supplies, water sources for cranberry bogs and active management to encourage recreational fishing. In more recent times, Plymouth’s ponds and lakes have become recreational centers and premium prices are paid to live near or along their shorelines.
