REFERENCES 125 APPENDIXA: NUMERICALINDEX TO MASSACHUSETrSUNITED STATES A-1 GEOLOGICALSURVEY TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS • • iv FOREWORD The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is fortunate to possess thousands of miles of inland and coastal streams. These range from ephemeral mountain rills to meandering tidal rivers, and represent a vast array of lotic..:..or running water--environments, Admittedly, many of the Commonwealth's streams are small by planning standards; however, their number and diversity form a unique resource whose aggregate value is con­ siderable. Regardless of their nature and location, all streams in Massachusetts are exposed to some degree of human influence and all are expected to fulfill some human need. These demands include: ·fishing; boating; sw.imming; water supply for industry, agriculture and munici­ palities; waste assimilation; power-generation; wildlife management; and aesthetics. These uses may occur slone or in combination, and their conflicts serve to further complicate the management of these resources. The Massachusetts Division of Water Pollution Control (MDWPC)and the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife (MDFW)share in the. primary responsibility for regulating and managing the lotic waters of Massachusetts. The Massachusetts Clean Waters Act (Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 21) empowers the MDWPCto adopt standards of water quality and to abate pollution in the Commonwealth's waters; furthermore, Chapter 21, together with portions of Chapter 131 of the MGL, authorizes the MDFW to manage fish, birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians, as appropriate. The stewardship of this heterogeneous resource requires site-specific practices and policies. As an initial step in this process, these two agencies have cooperated to produce this inventory of Massachusetts' streams. 1 ,1Funding for the work conducted by the MDFWwas supported in.part by funds provided by federal aid projects FW-7-P (Fish and Wildlife Management !>Janning) and F-44-R (Survey and Inventory of Ponds, Lakes, Rivers, and Streams).

The state was hydrologically divided into nine drainage systems comprised of 32 river basins and coastal drainage areas. Unique code numbers were assigned to each named watercourse together With coded USGS'map(s) locations and water-oriented descriptor term(s), where applicable. Each of the 32 river basins and coastal draiDage area hierarchical listings are accompanied by a watershed map depicting individual streams with their code numbers. Other pertinent information, such as adjoining river basin and coastal drainage area divides, municipal and state boundaries, and significant lakes and ponds are also delineated • . vii ,£ LIST OF TABLES NUMBER TITLE PAGE 1 Numerical Coding and Inventory Summary 4 • 2 Glossary of Selected Terms 6 3 Abbreviations Used in Hierarchical Listing 8 4 Abbreviations Used in Alphabetical Listing 9 5 Map Symbols 10 viii LIST OF FIGURES NUMBER l Drainage Systems X 2 River Basins snd Coastal Drainage Areas 2 3 Hoosic River Basin 12 4 Kinderhook snd Bashbish River Basins 14 5 · Housatonic River Basin 16 6 Farmington River Basin 20 7 Westfield River Basin 22 8 Deerfield River Basin 28 9 Connecticut River Basin 32 10 Millers River Basin 38 11 Chicopee River Basin 42 12 Quinebaug River Basin 46 13 French River Basin 48 14 Blackstone River Basin 50 15 Ten Mile River Basin 54 16 Narragansett Bay (Shore) Drainage Area 56 17 Mount Hope.

INTRODUCTION Purpose and Scope This river and stream inventory is a cooperative effort between the Massachusetts Divisions of Water Pollution Control and Fisheries and Wildlife. Its purpose is to compile a list of named streams in the Commonwealth for use in stream classification. In other New England States, Connecticut (Thomas, 1972) has compiled an inventory, while Maine (Cowing and Caracappa, 1978; Cowing and McNelly, 1978; Fontaine, 1979, 1980, 1982; Fontaine, Herrick and Norman, 1982) has produced a partial inventory of streams. Prior to this listing, other Massachusetts state stream lists had been developed; however, these varied in accuracy, completeness and availability. This docUJDent attempts to standardize a

  • Preserve Cape Cod to Association
    Association to Preserve Cape Cod Association to Preserve Cape Cod, Inc. 2011 Annual Report P.O. Box 398, 3010 Main Street Barnstable, MA 02630 Never Forgotten & Still Making a Difference Maggie Geist retired as executive director of the Association to Preserve Cape Cod in 2011. For a dozen years, Maggie steered our organization over many challenges and established her reputation as both a passionate environmentalist and a creative businesswoman. Capewind, county government reform, the Cape Cod Water Resources Restoration Project, the Upper Cape Water Supply Reserve on 15,000 acres of the Massachusetts Military Reservation, the No Discharge Area designation for Cape Cod Bay and, most of all, clean water were all positively impacted by her proactive style. She is still working with APCC developing a regional wastewater plan. Maggie led APCC and lives her life by the creed instilled upon her by her mom: “Leave the world a better place than you found it.” In her honor, the board of directors established the Geist Internship. The Geist Internship is intended to be a perpetual fund established to permit APCC to help train the next generation of environmental scientists, planners, engineers and creative thinkers. Each summer APCC will hire a promising college student to work on a project to help preserve Cape Cod. The fund is over one third the way toward being a self-perpetuating dedicated fund for this purpose. Member generosity, especially from current and past board members, made this possible. Programs & Projects Marine Invasive Species Monitoring: Over the past decade, many non-native marine plants and animals have arrived in coastal waters, often out- competing local species.

Scott, Commissioner Thomas E. O’Donovan, Division Director OFFICIAL LIST OF PUBLIC WATERS Published Pursuant to RSA 271:20 II (effective June 26, 1990) IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not use this list for determining water bodies that are subject to the Comprehensive Shoreland Protection Act (CSPA). The CSPA list is available on the NHDES website. Public waters in New Hampshire are prescribed by common law as great ponds (natural waterbodies of 10 acres or more in size), public rivers and streams, and tidal waters. These common law public waters are held by the State in trust for the people of New Hampshire. The State holds the land underlying great ponds and tidal waters (including tidal rivers) in trust for the people of New Hampshire. Generally, but with some exceptions, private property owners hold title to the land underlying freshwater rivers and streams, and the State has an easement over this land for public purposes. Several New Hampshire statutes further define public waters as including artificial impoundments 10 acres or more in size, solely for the purpose of applying specific statutes. Most artificial impoundments were created by the construction of a dam, but some were created by actions such as dredging or as a result of urbanization (usually due to the effect of road crossings obstructing flow and increased runoff from the surrounding area).
