  • Rules and Regulations of the Sharon Conservation Commission
    RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE SHARON CONSERVATION COMMISSION Amended November 5, 2020 SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION 1.01 Authority These Rules and Regulations of the Sharon Conservation Commission (together with any amendments thereto) are promulgated under the authority of the Home Rule Amendment, Article LXXXIX (89), of the amendments to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 1966, and shall be effective upon the fulfillment of all legal requirements for their effectiveness. 1.02 Purpose These Rules and Regulations are adopted in accordance with the provisions of the Town’s Wetlands Protection Bylaw (the bylaw), which is Article 262 of the Town’s bylaws. The bylaw sets forth a public review process by which activities having an impact or cumulative effect upon the wetlands, surface and groundwater resources of the Town of Sharon are regulated. In addition, the bylaw identifies additional public interests not recognized by (and expands other interests identified in) the Massachusetts Wetland Protection Act. These additional public interests are: erosion and sedimentation control, protection of surrounding land, home or buildings, protection of rivers, streams, ponds and other bodies of water, water quality enhancements, scenic vistas, recreation, and aesthetics. These Rules and Regulations are intended to compliment and clarify provisions of the bylaw and to assist applicants, and /or their advisors and consultants, in their dealings with the Conservation Commission. More explicitly, the intent is to improve communications, maximize efficiency and consistency in project review, minimize delay in responses by the commission, and minimize post- application redesign by the applicant. The Commission recognizes that environmental review is necessarily a site-specific process.

  • Massachusetts Fish Tissue Mercury Studies: Long-Term
    MassDEP Long-Term Monitoring MASSACHUSETTS FISH TISSUE MERCURY STUDIES: LONG-TERM MONITORING RESULTS, 1999 - 2004 by Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection Office of Research and Standards 1 Winter St., Boston, MA 02043 and Wall Experiment Station Lawrence, MA 2006 MassDEP Long-Term Monitoring PREFACE In 1994, the first comprehensive Massachusetts statewide examination of mercury in freshwater fish was conducted (MassDEP 1997). This study was followed in 1999 by an investigation of fish mercury concentrations in a region of the state predicted to have regionally high atmospheric deposition of mercury (MassDEP 2003b). That study was complemented by a study of historical mercury deposition into one lake in this region through the analysis of a sediment core using radioisotope dating techniques (Wallace et al. 2004). Additional work addressing mercury emissions and deposition is ongoing. A number of additional studies have been conducted as part of the Department’s continuing efforts to better elucidate the status of the Commonwealth’s freshwater fish populations and environments with respect to mercury contamination. A long-term monitoring network of lakes was established in 2001 to provide temporal tracking of changes in the mercury contamination status of fish in the Commonwealth, particularly as comprehensive mercury use and emissions reductions efforts have been implemented in Massachusetts and regionally. Results from these lakes will also provide a perspective on the scale of natural variability in tissue mercury concentrations for comparison with other sources of variation. The results from the first 5 years of this effort are contained in this report and in particular highlight the changes in fish tissue mercury concentrations which have taken place in the high mercury deposition area during a period when emissions from major point sources of mercury to the atmosphere have declined substantially in Massachusetts and across the region.
