A Roxbury Review: Conglomerates of Greater Boston
C2-1 A ROXBURY REVIEW by Margaret D. Thompson, Department of Geosciences, Wellesley College Anne M. Grunow, Byrd Polar Research Center, Ohio State University INTRODUCTION Conglomerate throughout the Boston Basin in eastern Massachusetts (Fig. 1) has long been called after the Roxbury district of Boston (early references in Holmes, 1859 and Shaler, 1869) and subdivided into three members typified by strata in the encircling communities of Brookline, Dorchester and the Squantum section of Quincy, MA (Emerson, 1917). NEIGC field trips, beginning with one led by W.O. Crosby in 1905, and also GSA-related field trips have provided regular opportunities for generations of geologists to debate the depositional settings of all of these rocks, particularly the possible glacial origin of the Squantum "Tillite". It appears, however, that none of these outings has ever included a stop in Roxbury itself (Table I and lettered localities in Fig. 1). A main purpose of this trip will be to visit the nominal Roxbury type locality in a section of the historic quarries where recent re-development includes the newly opened Puddingstone Park. Other stops will permit comparison of type Roxbury Conglomerate with other rocks traditionally assigned to this formation and highlight geochronological and paleomagnetic data bearing on the ages of these units.

Boston Harbor Islands Partnership Meeting Minutes Hale & Dorr, 60
Boston Harbor Islands Partnership Meeting Minutes Hale & Dorr, 60 State Street, 26th Floor June 15, 2004, 3:00 PM – 4:45 PM Attendees: Joe Ferrino and Bill Hale—Boston Harbor Islands Advisory Council; Cathy Douglas Stone and Andrea d’Amato—City of Boston, Department of Environmental Services; Maynard Goldman and Tom Powers—Island Alliance; Marianne Connolly for Fred Laskey—Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA); George Price and Terry Savage—National Park Service (NPS). Cathy Douglas Stone, Vice-chair, called the meeting to order. A motion was made to approve the minutes of the meeting held on May 18, 2004. The motion was unanimously approved. Opening Comments Maynard Goldman enthusiastically introduced Tom Powers, the new President of Island Alliance. Tom said that this was his first official day in the position and that he was looking forward to working with everyone. Peddocks Island Doug Welch, Island Alliance, reported that the team continues to work with the Massachusetts Historical Commission as they investigate geology and potential groundwater sources on the island. Drilling is expected to commence next week. Doug said that they submitted a grant to the Amelia Peabody Foundation for $1M to rehabilitate the chapel on the island. Based on previous successes with the foundation and a letter written by John F. Kennedy supporting the restoration of the chapel, they are hopeful that it is a compelling project. Doug said that the asbestos remediation of the guardhouse will begin this summer. Bargmann Hendrie & Archetype is managing the project which is funded by the NPS and Duke Energy remediation monies. This will be a very visible project; informational signs will be placed on the island to educate visitors about the work. -

Neighborhood Overviews
NEIGHBORHOOD OVERVIEWS (Sources: The following text is largely quoted from Leslie Donovan and Kim Withers Brengle, “A Preservation Plan for the City of Gloucester, Massachusetts,” 1990. Supplemental information was added from the Gloucester Development Team’s Land Marks; Architecture and Preservation in Gloucester, 1979; an unpublished manuscript, “Artists’ Communities in Gloucester, 1750-1948,” by Wendy Frontiero, 1998; and comments from the Gloucester Archives Committee.) CENTRAL GLOUCESTER Central Gloucester is roughly bounded by the Inner Harbor, the Annisquam River, and Route 128. This commercial and civic center of the City of Gloucester, located west of the inner harbor, is the nucleus of the Central Gloucester neighborhood and the City. The central business district runs along Main and Rogers Streets and is characterized by two- to four-story masonry structures. Immediately to the west is the civic center, which is composed of the City’s public buildings, by far the largest group of substantial buildings in Gloucester. The greatest concentration of industrial buildings is also found in Central Gloucester, located along the waterfront, near the commercial areas, and along Maplewood Avenue. Central Gloucester is extremely densely developed compared to the rest of Gloucester. Residential buildings are typically single-family and multi-family structures of wood-frame construction. A fishing colony established by the Dorchester Company at Stage Fort lasted only from 1623- 1626. It was not until the late 1630s that Cape Ann attracted a large enough number of permanent settlers to warrant incorporation as a town in 1642 under the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The name of the new town may have come from the recent birth of a new Duke of Gloucester. -

I recently finished the 2005 audit and we are entering 2006 data now. Let me know if you would like more details. I will have the 2005 report done in about a month and have the summary 2006 data available about the same time. It is important to note that we changed nets in 2005. We used a very small fyke net in 2004. We have used the same net in 2005 and 2006 with good success. I'm sorry about the delay in meeting your request. I should not have been so optimistic about our ability to process data during the summer field season. Sincerely, Brad. Bradford C.

(Osmerus Mordax) Spawning Habitat in the Weymouth- Fore River
Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries Technical Report TR-5 Rainbow Smelt (Osmerus mordax) Spawning Habitat in the Weymouth- Fore River Bradford C. Chase and Abigail R. Childs Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries Department of Fisheries, Wildlife and Environmental Law Enforcement Executive Office of Environmental Affairs Commonwealth of Massachusetts September 2001 Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries Technical Report TR-5 Rainbow Smelt (Osmerus mordax) Spawning Habitat in the Weymouth-Fore River Bradford C. Chase and Abigail R. Childs Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries Annisquam River Marine Fisheries Station 30 Emerson Ave. Gloucester, MA 01930 September 2001 Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries Paul Diodati, Director Department of Fisheries, Wildlife and Environmental Law Enforcement Dave Peters, Commissioner Executive Office of Environmental Affairs Bob Durand, Secretary Commonwealth of Massachusetts Jane Swift, Governor ABSTRACT The spawning habitat of anadromous rainbow smelt in the Weymouth-Fore River, within the cities of Braintree and Weymouth, was monitored during 1988-1990 to document temporal, spatial and biological characteristics of the spawning run. Smelt deposited eggs primarily in the Monatiquot River, upstream of Route 53, over a stretch of river habitat that exceeded 900 m and included over 8,000 m2 of suitable spawning substrate. Minor amounts of egg deposition were found in Smelt Brook, primarily located below the Old Colony railroad embankment where a 6 ft culvert opens to an intertidal channel. The Smelt Brook spawning habitat is degraded by exposure to chronic stormwater inputs, periodic raw sewer discharges and modified stream hydrology. Overall, the entire Weymouth-Fore River system supports one of the larger smelt runs in Massachusetts Bay, with approximately 10,000 m2 of available spawning substrate. -
