  • V Hydrodynamic Modeling (PDF)
    MASSACHUSETTS ESTUARIES PROJECT V. HYDRODYNAMIC MODELING V.1. INTRODUCTION To support the Town with their Comprehensive Wastewater Management Planning (CWMP), an evaluation of tidal flushing has been performed for the coastal embayments within the Town Limits of Chatham. The field data collection and hydrodynamic modeling effort contained in this report, provides the first step towards evaluating the water quality of these estuarine systems, as well as understanding nitrogen loading “thresholds” for each system. The hydrodynamic modeling effort serves as the basis for the total nitrogen (water quality) model, which will incorporate upland nitrogen load, as well as benthic regeneration within bottom sediments. In addition to the tidal flushing evaluation for these estuarine systems, alternatives analyses of tidal flushing improvement strategies have been performed for selected sub- embayments. Shallow coastal embayments are the initial recipients of freshwater flow and the nutrients they carry. An embayment’s semi-enclosed structure increases the time that nutrients are retained in them before being flushed out to adjacent waters, and their shallow depths both decrease their ability to dilute nutrient (and pollutant) inputs and increases the secondary impacts of nutrients recycled from the sediments. Degradation of coastal waters and development are tied together through inputs of pollutants in runoff and groundwater flows, and to some extent through direct disturbance, i.e. boating, oil and chemical spills, and direct discharges from land and boats. Excess nutrients, especially nitrogen, promote phytoplankton blooms and the growth of epiphytes on eelgrass and attached algae, with adverse consequences including low oxygen, shading of submerged aquatic vegetation, and aesthetic problems. Estuarine water quality is dependent upon nutrient and pollutant loading and the processes that help flush nutrients and pollutants from the estuary (e.g., tides and biological processes).

  • Cape Cod Lighthouses TCCI
    Cape Cod Lighthouses Locations Click on a lighthouse on the map for more information The climb up circular stairs to the top of a lighthouse tower is not for the squeamish or for those afraid of heights. Most lighthouses have interesting stories related to their history. Some are open to the public and have “visiting hours.” Others are open only on special occasions. Usually a tour guide will take you through the building and offer you tales of lighthouse living. The winding staircases, the distant echo of your footsteps, waves hitting against the rock, distant ship hooting…that’s the dejavu you get when you visit the Cape Cod Lighthouses. It is as if you are part of the whole system that emits navigational lights to guide hundreds of ships to dock safely. Lighthouses are navigational aids that mark the perilous reeds, hazardous shoals and poorly charted coastlines for safe harbor entry. Once upon a time, the lighthouses were the marine pilot’s most important aids but the advent of electronic navigation has led to their decline. The system of lights and lamps on the lighthouses are also expensive to maintain. The vantage points occupied by the lighthouses make them a tourists’ attraction. You’ll go up the winding staircase with your pair of binoculars and voila! The beautiful Cape Cod Coastline spreads right before your eyes. Race Point Light Located in Provincetown, Massachusetts, the Race Point Lighthouse is one of the historical building in the National Register of Historic Places. It was first built in 1816, but the current 45-foot tall tower was built in 1876.

Diodati Director Fax (617) 626.1509 July 1, 2005 Boards of Selectmen of: Duxbury, Plymouth, Kingston, Bourne, Wareham, Wellfleet and Chatham Ladies & Gentlemen: The Division of Marine Fisheries has determined that shellfish, except for surf clams (Spisula solidissima), Ocean Quahogs (Arctica islandica), and carnivorous snails, from the below-defined areas no longer contain biotoxins (PSP) from the phytoplankton Alexandrium (spp) in excess of established standards. Therefore, under authority of Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 130, Section 74A, 75 and 322 CMR 7.01 (7) the below-defined areas will revert to their former status prior to the PSP closures of May 20, 2005 in Duxbury, May 26, 2005 in Bourne, Barnstable, Yarmouth, Dennis and Wellfleet and June 3, 2005 in Chatham. Those areas classified as APPROVED and in the “open “ status to shellfish harvesting are now open to the harvest of shellfish, except surf clams, ocean quahogs and carnivorous snails, for direct human consumption subject to local rules and regulations under authority of Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 130, section 52. Similarly, those areas classified as CONDITIONALLY APPROVED are open subject to the classification conditions. STATUS: OPEN TO SHELLFISHING Duxbury/Plymouth/Kingston CCB: 42 - 47 “The waters, flats and all tributaries west of a line drawn from Long Point to the westernmost point of Saquish Head in the Town of Plymouth Northern

  • Chapter 2.A. Harbor Facilities and Activities: Management Issues and Recommendations for the Stage Harbor Complex
    CHAPTER 2.A. HARBOR FACILITIES AND ACTIVITIES: MANAGEMENT ISSUES AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE STAGE HARBOR COMPLEX 2.A.0 INTRODUCTION The Stage Harbor Complex encompasses one of the Town’s premier recreational boating areas, critical offloading capacity for the Town’s commercial fishing fleet, and significant shellfishing areas. The major management challenge facing the Town is how to sustain and balance competing uses of these limited resources. The current harbor infrastructure – including town access points, public and private offloading areas, and moorings – is under stress from a consistent high level of demand. The original Stage Harbor plan identified important physical distinctions among the water bod- ies that make up the Stage Harbor Complex, and the appropriate uses for these areas. Specifically the plan proposes that: • Stage Harbor, and the Mitchell River south of Bridge Street should be considered a multi-use harbor with emphasis on commercial fishing, shellfishing and recreational boating. New facilities for these uses could be accommodated within these areas provided they are consis- tent with the policies of the approved harbor plan. • The Oyster River, Oyster Pond, Mill Pond, and the Mitchell River north of Bridge Street provide valuable shellfisheries and prime shellfish habitat. These protected areas have more restricted tidal flushing and should be considered environmentally sensitive areas. Appropri- ate activities in these areas include low intensity uses such as shellfishing and recreation. New facilities to support boating and recreational uses should only be allowed if they can be demonstrated to have no significant impact on the natural systems of these areas. The original plan recommended that the Town implement these guidelines through the desig- nation of harbor zoning districts allowing for uses.

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.
