There are multiple municipalities located at least Impaired Segments Name: partially in the watershed, including New Haven, West 1. West River (CT5305-00_01) Haven, Bethany, Hamden, Prospect, and Woodbridge, CT. 2. Edgewood Park Pond (CT5305- 00-3-L1_01) The West River watershed includes two segments impaired for recreation due to elevated bacteria levels. These segments Municipalities: New Haven, were assessed by Connecticut Department of Energy and Woodbridge Environmental Protection (CT DEEP) and included in the CT Impaired Segment Length / 2010 303(d) list of impaired waterbodies. One segment in the Area: CT5305-00_01 (3.23 miles), watershed is currently unassessed as of the writing of this CT5305-00-3-L1_01 (2.72 acres) document. This does not suggest that there are no issues on these segments, but indicates a lack of current data to Water Quality Classifications: evaluate the segments as part of the assessment process. An Class A excerpt of the Integrated Water Quality Report is included in Table 1 to show the status of waterbodies in the watershed Designated Use Impairments: (CTDEEP, 2010).

  • The New Haven Harbor
    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 1984 Volume VI: Geology and the Industrial History of Connecticut Gateway to New Haven: The New Haven Harbor Curriculum Unit 84.06.10 by Carolyn C. Smith There are many theories as to the origin of our vast universe. As we know, the earth has been around for billions of years. Looking around us we can’t help but question how this creation of our planet came to be as it is today. Through experience and past knowledge it has been brought out that there are three major forces which are responsible for our land formations: 1) glaciers, 2) volcanoes, and 3) water. The purpose of this unit is to show how the geographical location of the New Haven Harbor has affected the lives of the people living in New Haven by focusing our attention on the phenomena of nature which has been prevailing for millions of years. When this unit is completed the students will: 1. Know how the early settlers made use of the New Haven Harbor. 2. Know the three main geographical divisions of the state of Connecticut and how they came to be. 3. Be able to discuss the Triassic fault and what effect it has on the New Haven Harbor. 4. Know how the channel of the New Haven Harbor has changed in the last two centuries and how these changes are affecting our social and economic growth today. 5. Know what proposals the city of New Haven has made to protect the New Haven Harbor for future use.

    ~EOLOGICAL SURVEY CIRCULAR 138 July 1951 INDEX OF SURFACE-WATER RECORDS PART I.-NORTH ATLANTIC SLOPE BASINS TO SEPTEMBER 30, 1950 Prepared by Boston District UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Oscar L. Chapman, Secretary GEOLOGICAL SURVEY W. E. Wrather, Director Washington, 'J. C. Free on application to the Geological Survey, Washington 26, D. C. INDEX OF SURFACE-WATER RECORDS PART 1.-NORTH ATLANTIC SLOPE BASINS TO SEPTEMBER 30, 1950 EXPLANATION The index lists the stream-flow and reservoir stations in the North Atlantic Slope Basins for which records have been or are to be published for periods prior to Sept. 30, 1950. The stations are listed in downstream order. Tributary streams are indicated by indention. Station names are given in their most recently published forms. Parentheses around part of a station name indicate that the inclosed word or words were used in an earlier published name of the station or in a name under which records were published by some agency other than the Geological Survey. The drainage areas, in square miles, are the latest figures pu~lished or otherwise available at this time. Drainage areas that were obviously inconsistent with other drainage areas on the same stream have been omitted. Under "period of record" breaks of less than a 12-month period are not shown. A dash not followed immediately by a closing date shows that the station was in operation on September 30, 1950. The years given are calendar years. Periods·of records published by agencies other than the Geological Survey are listed in parentheses only when they contain more detailed information or are for periods not reported in publications of the Geological Survey.

  • Housatonic River Study Report, Connecticut
    FINAL REPORT THE HOUSATONIC IN CONNECTICUT A WILD AND SCENIC RIVER STUDY August 1979 . Prepared by: U.S. Department of the Interior Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service (formerly Bureau of Outdoor Recreation) Northeast Regional Office Printed by the National .Park Service FOREWORD On October 12, 1976, the U.S. Congress amended the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (Public Law 90-542) to include for study the Housatonic River in Connecticut from the Massachusetts/Connecticut boundary downstream to its conflu­ ence with the Shepaug River. This action was the result of the initia­ tive taken by the people of the Housatonic Valley to protect the natural beauty and cultural heritage of their river. The Wild and Scenic Rivers System was established by Congress in 1968 to protect and conserve outstanding free-flowing rivers of this nation for the future. Its purpose as stated in the Act is "that certain selected rivers of the Nation which, with their immediate environments, possess outstandingly remarkable scenic, recreational, geologic, fish and wildlife, historic, cul­ tural, or other similar values, shall be preserved in free-flowing condition, and that they and their immediate environments shall be protected for the benefit and enjoy­ ment of present and future gener­ ations." This report evaluates the Housatonic River in Connecticut, discusses the actions required for conservation and protection of the river, and explains the procedures for designation of the eligible river segment as a National Scenic and Recreational River.

  • The West Haven Harbor Management Area
    2 The West Haven Harbor Management Area Long Island Sound is Connecticut’s largest and most important natural resource. More than 8 million people live in the Long Island Sound watershed and the activities that take place on and along the Sound – boating, fishing, tourism, and swimming – contribute an estimated $5.5 billion per year to the regional economy. The Sound provides feeding, breeding, and nesting areas for a diversity of plant and animal life. One of the region’s largest estuaries with an area of 1320 square miles, the Sound is home to more than 120 species of finfish and countless varieties of birds and other animals. Between New York and Connecticut, the Sound’s coastline stretches more than 600 miles.
