The Diversion Drain Is Ready to Operate Stockbridge Bowl
P.O. Box 118, Stockbridge, MA 01262 • www.thesba.org Summer 2012 Without the initiative of the SBA, there would be no diversion drain. From advocacy of a lake management plan to raising funds from key friends of the Bowl to identifying local and state grants, the SBA spearheaded the assembly of the over $1million required for this major engineering project and identified the consulting engineers necessary to design and supervise this project. From the bids received, the Town selected Cairns and Sons, an excellent contractor from New Hampshire, to do the work. While the pipe installation was completed too late to facilitate a fall drawdown this past year, the new pipe is ready for operation this coming November. The plan is to open the pre-existing dam at the end of the out- let, let the water level fall to the top of the berm that covers the gas and sewer pipes and then take the protective covers off the new diversion drain. Once opened, the drain will allow the lake level to drop below the level Representatives from the Town, the SBA, engineers from George Cairns & Sons, the of the berm. To be successful, the diminished water level must expose the Tennessee Gas Pipeline and AECOM were present at the December 7, 2011 “kick off” Eurasian Milfoil roots before any snow accumulates.

Spotlight on Middleborough
SPOTLIGHT ON MIDDLEBOROUGH WELCOME TO MIDDLEBOROUGH, MASSACHUSETTS The town was first settled by Europeans in 1661 as Nemasket, later changed to Middlebury, and officially incorporated as Middleborough (Sometimes referred to as Middleboro) in 1669. The name Nemasket came from a Native American settlement along the small river that now bears the same name. Nemasket may have meant “place of fish”, due to the large amount of herring that migrate up the river each spring. The English religious dissenters called the Brownists developed their governance institutions and then emigrated on the Mayflower, and were the earliest settlers of Middleborough where their town and church governance ethics were continued.
