Fire department overtime In response to the budget prob- lems posed by fire department spending, Mr. Wojcik said he is instituting “specific temporary measures to rein in the overtime spending at the fire department.” These include a series of sweep- ing new guidelines for fire depart- ment operations. “The fire department overtime account,” Mr. Wojcik said, “is the only account in town government that has been overspent to such a large extent. We believe the account is already $30,000 in the red, and is on a pace to end the The buoys are back! year well over $125,000 short.” The buoys are back! According to the town treasurer, the fire department’s original RICHARD W. DIONNE JR. budget for overtime for the fiscal year 2015 was $280,000.

Then there is Alicia Crespo’s ‘The Game — Rolling on the Westport River.’ This buoy spins to send players on a WTestport River game — a bit like Candy Land or Chutes and Ladders. Do a good deed for the river and move forward. But wash your car in the driveway or (worse) dump chemicals down a storm drain and prepare to tumble backwards. “Where do people come up with these ideas?” asked organizer Gay Gillespie. Some of the regions best artists, 57 of them as of late last week from Westport, Little Compton, Tiverton, Dartmouth and beyond, have again turned their talents to bare wooden lobster buoys and the results are stunning. The Westport River Watershed Alliance has reprised last year’s “Buoy the Winter Blues” event and will hold it on Saturday, March 7 at a new location, Buzzards Bay Brewing, 98 Horseback Road — hence the new name, “Buoys at the Brewery.” Ms. Gillespie said she was apprehensive about trying to repeat last year’s success.What if the good ideas were exhausted, the artists tired of it. “But I believe they’ve outdone themselves this year,” she said. “Every time another one comes in we are all in disbelief at the talent out there. all around us.” As last year, bidders will get to make offers on buoys they’d like to take home (bidding starts at $100.)

    MA0003654 Determinations Document July 22, 2002 6.0 CWA § 316(a) - Determination In Response to USGenNE’s Variance Application 6.1 Introduction This section of the NPDES permit development package for BPS presents EPA’s determination in response to USGenNE’s application for alternative thermal discharge limitations under CWA § 316(a) (commonly referred to as “a § 316(a) variance application”). As discussed in the Permitting History section of this document, the thermal discharge limits included in the original October 1973 NPDES permit for BPS were based on Massachusetts Water Quality Standards rather than a § 316(a) variance. This permit included a maximum temperature limitation of 90° F and a )-T limitation of 20° F. The permittee subsequently sought relaxation of those limitations under a § 316(a) variance. The record shows this request to have been extremely controversial. The permit’s maximum temperature and )-T limits were alternately raised and then returned to the original limits in a series of permit modifications and agreements over the years from 1976 to 1979.1 In 1979, a new permit was issued by EPA and MA DEP on the basis of a CWA § 316(a) variance. This permit raised the maximum temperature and )-T limits to 95° F and 22° F, respectively. These limits remain in place in the current permit with certain conditions. See EPA Fact Sheet for BPS Draft NPDES Permit No. MA003654 (June 11, 1993), p. 11. In 1982, although the maximum temperature and )-T limits of 95° F and 22° F remained constant, BPS was nevertheless effectively authorized to discharge more heat (in BTUs) to Mount Hope Bay when another permit change allowed the plant to discharge an increased volume of cooling water flow due to the conversion of Unit 4 from closed-cycle to open-cycle cooling.

Predatory mortality during juvenile stages of thenorthern quahog is identifr ed as a primaryfactor controlling recrui tment of natural populations.
