CONCORD RIVER WATERSHED FLOOD RISK REPORT Preface The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Risk Mapping, Assessment, and Planning (Risk MAP) program provides states, tribes, and local communities with flood risk information and tools that they can use to increase their resilience to flooding and better protect their citizens. By pairing accurate floodplain maps with risk assessment tools and planning and outreach support, Risk MAP has transformed traditional flood mapping efforts into an integrated process of identifying, assessing, communicating, planning for, and mitigating flood‐related risks. This Flood Risk Report (FRR) provides non‐regulatory information to help local or tribal officials, floodplain managers, planners, emergency managers, and others better understand their flood risk, take steps to mitigate those risks, and communicate those risks to their citizens and local businesses.

  • Burlington Admission to the MWRA Waterworks System
    THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS WATER RESOURCES COMMISSION 100 CAMBRIDGE STREET, BOSTON MA 02114 REPORT OF THE FINDINGS, JUSTIFICATIONS, AND DECISION OF THE WATER RESOURCES COMMISSION Relating to the Approval of the Town of Burlington’s Request for an Interbasin Transfer Pursuant to M.G.L. Chapter 21 § 8C DECISION On November 12, 2020, by a ten to one (10-1) vote, the Massachusetts Water Resources Commission (WRC) approved the Town of Burlington’s request for an Interbasin Transfer to join the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) Water Works System. This vote was taken after review of the facts provided by the Town of Burlington, analysis of the associated data, and consideration of comments received concerning this request. INTRODUCTION On November 26, 2019, the WRC received a request from the Town of Burlington for approval of an action to increase the present rate of interbasin transfer under the Interbasin Transfer Act (ITA) (M.G.L. Chapter 21 §§ 8B-8D) as part of a Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) submitted to the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA) office. The DEIR proposed a water supply transfer through an interconnection to MWRA. Additional information was requested by the WRC and received in the Final EIR, submitted in February 2020. The Secretary’s Certificate on the FEIR was issued on April 17, 2020. The WRC accepted Burlington’s application as complete at its May 14, 2020 meeting. Burlington is proposing to purchase a maximum of 6.5 million gallons per day (MGD) of water from MWRA to supplement its existing water supply source, the Mill Pond Reservoir (Figure 1).

  • Vine Brook and Willard's Brook Stream Shoreline Surveys
    Vine Brook and Willard’s Brook Stream Shoreline Surveys May 9, 2009 Lexington, Massachusetts Conducted by the Watershed Stewardship Program, a joint program of Lexington’s Conservation Division, Engineering Division, and citizen volunteers Compiled by Emily Schadler and Tom Whelan December 8, 2009 Table of Contents Section Page Abstract 3 Introduction 4 Study Area 5 Methods 6 Results 7 Action Items and Observations 12 Discussion 13 Appendix 1: Stream Survey Data 17 Appendix 2: Outfall Data 20 Appendix 3: Narrative & Priorities for Action Text 22 We would like to offer a special thanks to the Directors of Lexington’s Watershed Stewardship Program, who have generously contributed their time and effort to developing this program, and to the Watershed Stewards who volunteered to conduct the pilot round of stream surveys. 2 Abstract Citizen volunteers conducted stream shoreline surveys on Vine Brook and Willard’s Brook in Lexington, Massachusetts on May 9, 2009 to identify potential issues with stream health and function. The surveys were the pilot project of Lexington’s new Watershed Stewardship Program, a citizen science-based project that aims to survey all of Lexington’s 20 streams and follow-up with remediation efforts. Volunteer stewards collected observational data on general stream characteristics (i.e. water color, water odor, habitat features), potential problem areas (i.e. garbage, erosion, sedimentation), and outfalls. Photographs were used to document notable features. Results indicate no major crises on the stream at this time but a number of issues to be address in the near future. These include erosion and sedimentation issues (particularly around outfalls), stream blockages, and garbage in the stream.
