  • A Desultory Treatise on Outer Cape Cod Biogeography
    A Desultory Treatise on Outer Cape Cod Biogeography Michael Sargent - 2016 The retreat of the glacier system covering Cape Cod left a land mass depicted by the green area of the above map, ending at what is now known as High Head. Initially, erosion of the eastward- facing cliffs resulted in sediment deposition in a southerly direction, forming the barrier systems of Nauset Spit and Monomoy Island. This process was aided by a complex system of currents, including the Gulf Stream from the south and branches of the Labrador Current from the north, which operate in primarily a counter-clockwise direction. About 6,000 years ago, rising water levels began to cover Georges Bank to the southeast. This reduced a significant barrier shielding the northeastern portion of the outer Cape, and also amplified a clockwise current around the bank. This resulted in an acceleration of erosion, with a new trend of sediment deposition in a northerly direction. This process is what formed the East Harbor region of North Truro and all of what is now Provincetown. Long Point, the absolute tip of the Cape, is still growing out around Provincetown Harbor. Meanwhile in Cape Cod Bay, which is separated from the Atlantic Ocean by a line connecting Race Point with Plymouth, a large area of shoreline and islands was eroded and covered south of Wellfleet, with some sediment moving in both northerly and southerly directions. As global warming causes increasing water levels, the protective effect of Georges Bank will diminish further, and the erosive forces, like many other natural phenomena, will increase in intensity.

  • Plymouth Colony
    Name: ____________________________________________ Date: _______________________ Plymouth Colony Overview: Plymouth Colony was an English colony from 1620-1691. It is also known as New Plymouth or Plymouth Bay Colony. It was one of the earliest successful colonies in North America and took part in the first Thanksgiving in 1621. Origins of Colonists: The original group of settlers were known as separatists because they had gone against the King of England and the Anglican Church. The group was under religious persecution to leave England. In 1619 they obtained a land patent from the London Virginia Company to let them settle a colony in North America. In 1620 the colonists left for America on the ships Mayflower and Speedwell. Leaving: The two ships left South Hampton England on August 15th, 1620. The Mayflower had 90 passengers and the Speedwell had 30 passengers. The Speedwell had immediate problems and had to go back. The Mayflower returned and it finally left for America with 102 passengers on September 16th, 1620. Voyage: The voyage from England to America at these times would typically take 2 months. In the first month the Mayflower had smooth sailing. In the second month they were hit by a strong winter storm which killed two of the passengers. Arrival: The Mayflower first arrived at Provincetown Harbor on November 11th, 1620. The following day Susanna White gave birth to Peregrine White who was the first child born to a pilgrim in the New World. While exploring the area they ran into a Native American tribe and went looking for another area. The ship soon came across an area they agreed to settle.

Air Quality Conformity Analysis Calculation Procedures for Determining Air Emissions In order to evaluate the applicability of this Clean Air Act statute, annual air emissions were calculated for each of the three mitigation tasks. Air emissions were estimated based on equipment types, engine sizes, and estimated hours of operation. The calculations made were of a "screening" nature using factors provided for diesel engines in the USEPA AP-42 Emission Factor document (EPA 1995). The emission factors used were expressed in lb/hp-hr. The factors utilized were as follows: • 0.00668 lb CO/hp-hr • 0.031 lb NOx/hp-hr • 0.00072 lb PM10/hp-hr • 0.00205 lb SO2/hp-hr Emissions were calculated by simply multiplying the usage hours by the equipment horsepower and then by emission factor. To be complete, emissions were calculated for the four primary internal combustion engine related air pollutants. Total project emissions were calculated by adding the number of specific projects anticipated over a given 12-month period.

The coast at Race Point is very treacherous, and had been the scene of many wrecks caused by the tides which race by there which swept many ships to destruction on the sunken rips which lie along the coast. It was built about four miles from Provincetown at a position "northeast one and three-eighths mile of Race Point Light, Cape Cod." It was probably moved, because in 1883, its position was "five-eighths mile northeast of Race Point Light." It was provided "extensive repairs and improvements" in 1888. There have been 93 major shipwrecks in the Provincetown area since 1873 with over 600 lives saved by the men of the station. In 1930 a new building was completed at Race Point. However, the location became increasingly unsuitable when more modern rescue craft had to be tied up 2.3 miles away, in Provincetown Harbor. Around 1962, Coast Guard officials began to consider a replacement for Race Point Station. 1 A new station was built in the West End of Provincetown in 1978/79 to accommodate more personnel.

  • Porous Pavement Improves Provincetown Harbor Beaches
    NONPOINT SOURCE SUCCESS STORY PorousMassachusetts Pavement Improves Provincetown Harbor Beaches Waterbody Improved Dense development and large amounts of impervious areas in the immediate vicinity of Provincetown Harbor have resulted in significant amounts of stormwater runoff reaching the harbor waters. The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) placed Provincetown Harbor on its 1992 Clean Water Act (CWA) section 303(d) list of impaired waters for pathogens caused by polluted stormwater runoff. Beneficial uses impacted included shellfishing. To address this problem, a major construction project to install new porous pavement on Commercial Street began in 2012. As a result of these and other measures, Provincetown Harbor has already exhibited cleaner water, confirmed by significantly fewer beach closings. MassDEP expects Provincetown Harbor to meet all its designated uses by 2020. Problem Provincetown Harbor is on the tip of Cape Cod. The recreational (beach tourism) and commercial uses (fishery) of the 4.33-square-mile harbor play a signifi- cant role in the local economy. Commercial Street, the heart of the downtown com- mercial area, runs closely parallel to the beaches of Provincetown Harbor. After summer storms, beaches in Provincetown Harbor would regularly experience beach closures due to high fecal coliform bacteria lev- els that exceeded bathing beach standards. The limited amount of drainage on Commercial Street provided for no infiltration and treatment, allowing stormwater to flow directly into the harbor. The primary pollutants of concern in runoff were bacteria and sediments. Provincetown Harbor is currently listed on the 2014 Integrated List of Waters as a Category 4a with a total maximum daily load for fecal coliform.
