  • Massachusetts Coastal Zone Boundary Description
    Massachusetts Coastal Zone Boundary Description The following is the specification of the major roads, rail lines, other visible rights-of-way, or coordinates marking the inland boundary of the coastal zone. For consistency, the actual boundary is 100 feet inland of the landward side of this line, with the exception of municipal boundaries, where the municipal boundary is the limit of the line. This boundary narrative is organized into the following sections: Salisbury to western Gloucester, Eastern Gloucester and Rockport, Manchester- by-the-Sea to Saugus, Revere to Hingham, Weymouth to Plymouth, Cape Cod and the Islands, Wareham to Westport, and Mount Hope Bay. Salisbury to Western Gloucester Beginning at a point formed by the intersection of U.S. Route 1 (Lafayette Road) and the Massachusetts/New Hampshire state boundary; Thence generally southerly along U.S. Route 1 to the intersection of said line and Massachusetts Route 110 (School Street) in the town of Salisbury; Thence westerly along Massachusetts Route 110 to the intersection of said line and Interstate 95 in the town of Amesbury; Thence southwesterly along Interstate 95 to the intersection of said line and Ferry Road in the city of Newburyport; Thence southeasterly along Ferry Road to the intersection of said line and Massachusetts Route 113 (High Street); Thence southeasterly along Massachusetts Route 113 to the intersection of said line and U.S. Route 1 (Newburyport Turnpike); Thence southerly along U.S. Route 1 to the intersection of said line and Boston Road in the town

  • 1 Greetings, Restoration Friends and Colleagues: Spring Has
    May 2016 http://www.mass.gov/der Greetings, restoration friends and colleagues: Spring has finally arrived, perfect timing for you to take advantage of the Events section of our newsletter and thank you for sharing your wetland and river outings ensuring that we all get a healthy dose of the outdoors. Two project updates stand-out in this edition of Ebb&Flow, in large part because of their scale, underscoring that DER and partners are willing to take on exceedingly complex and ambitious projects. First, the Muddy Creek restoration is near complete after years of planning. A new $6.5 million, 94-foot wide bridge allows Muddy Creek to be reborn, restoring over 55-acres of degraded salt marsh. In Plymouth, the Tidmarsh restoration effort is in full swing, the project is our largest freshwater restoration project to date, at over 250 acres of restored wetland and 3.5 miles of reconstructed stream. Finally, we say goodbye to Laila Parker who has taken a job with the City of Boulder, Colorado. Best of luck to Laila who worked passionately and professionally to restore stream flow in our stressed basins; her new endeavors will most assuredly help to restore the watersheds of the Wild West. See you on the water. Tim Purinton, Director In this issue: Feature Article Project Updates Restoration Resources Events 1 The Massachusetts Division of Ecological Restoration is Hiring! Position: Watershed Ecologist (Environmental Analyst IV) Date of posting: 5/6/2016 Closing: The position will remain open until filled. However, first consideration will be given to those candidates that apply within the first 14 days.

Our goal was to evaluate the ability of dispersion (CALINE4, AERMOD, R-LINE, and QUIC) and regression models to predict PNC in a residential neighborhood (Somerville) and an urban center (Chinatown) near highways in and near Boston, Massachusetts. PNC was measured in each area, and models were compared to each other and measurements for hot (>18 °C) and cold (<10 °C) hours with wind directions parallel to and perpendicular downwind from highways. In Somerville, correlation and error statistics were typically acceptable, and all models predicted concentration gradients extending ~100 m from the highway.
