  • Massachusetts Rivers Alliance
    March 11, 2011 Kate Renahan U.S. EPA-Region 1, Office of the Regional Administrator 5 Post Office Square-Suite 100, Mail Code-ORA01-1 Boston, MA 02109-3912 Subject: Comments on EPA’s proposed General Permits for Stormwater Discharges From Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems in Massachusetts Interstate, Merrimack and South Coastal Watersheds. Dear Ms. Renahan: The Massachusetts Rivers Alliance (the Alliance) is pleased to offer comments on EPA’s proposed General Permits for Stormwater Discharges from Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems in Massachusetts Interstate, Merrimack and South Coastal Watersheds (the Draft Permit). The mission of the Alliance is to protect and restore rivers in Massachusetts. We represent 32 conservation groups around the state, as well as individual members. Our comments are based on our review of the Draft Permit, its Appendices and Fact Sheet, along with information we have learned by attending EPA’s public meetings on the Draft Permit and participating in the state’s ongoing Sustainable Water Management Initiative (the Initiative). Why Stormwater Management Matters We are commenting on the Draft Permit because stormwater is now the largest source of pollution to rivers, streams and other waters in Massachusetts. In addition, urbanization – and the attendant increases in impervious cover - increases the volume and peak discharge rate of stormwater runoff, which damages stream habitat and results in urban stream syndrome a condition where aquatic life, as a designated use, is not supported. Specifically, increased stormwater runoff erodes river and stream channels, scours streambeds, and buries fish and insect habitat under sediment. Recent work by USGS and MA Department of Fish and Game confirm the findings of other studies that the ecological health of streams, in this instance the structure and diversity of the fluvial fish community, is strongly associated with the percent of impervious cover in the contributing drainage area.

    2005 Performance Measurement Report PERFORMANCE GOALS FOR STATE AND COMMUNITY COLLEGES IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS Access Affordability Quality Efficiency Massachusetts Board of Higher Education 2005 Performance Measurement Report PERFORMANCE GOALS FOR STATE AND COMMUNITY COLLEGES IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS Produced by the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education February 2006 His Excellency Mitt Romney, Members of the Great and General Court and the Citizens of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts: The Board of Higher Education presents the 2005 Performance Measurement Report as a demonstration of our commitment to accountability for public higher education in Massachusetts. The report, now in its third year, includes a broad spectrum of performance measures and goals, established by the Board in collaboration with the 24 state and community colleges, to address strategic objectives for public higher education. The University of Massachusetts prepares a separate accountability report for its five campuses located in Amherst, Boston, Dartmouth, Lowell and Worcester. Because of their status as specialty institutions, Massachusetts College of Art and Massachusetts Maritime Academy also prepare separate reports. Public Higher Education in Massachusetts Overall, we are seeing growing evidence of the system’s relevance to Massachusetts residents. In this state, where there are many educational options, more Massachusetts high school graduates are choosing public higher education. The percent of Massachusetts high school graduates who opted to stay here has increased from 63% in fall 1996 to 68% in fall 2004, an increase of 5,464 Massachusetts students. Last year, 280,000 Massachusetts residents attended our public colleges or University campuses, comprising 92% of undergraduate student enrollment and 72% of graduate student enrollment in the public system.

The years of experiment were successfully passed. A total of ten thousand dollars was raised, one half of that sum by public subscription, and the remainder from state funds. Col. Abram Washburn donated a lot of land one and one-quarter acres and George B. Emerson of Boston provided the furnace for heating the building. It was a small, wooden, two-story structure containing a large schoolroom, and two recitation rooms in the upper story, and a Model School room, a chemical room, and two anterooms on the lower floor.” —Special Collections.

  • Cultural Resources Inventory
    Town of Saugus Historical Commission Town Hall 298 Central Street Saugus, MA 01906 CULTURAL RESOURCES INVENTORY Updated: May 2012 The Town of Saugus contains hundreds of sites and structures having architectural, archeological, or historical significance. At the present time, five properties are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, two of which have been designated as National Historic Landmarks (NHL) by the Secretary of the Interior. National Register Properties: Boardman House (NHL, 10/15/1966) Breakheart Reservation Parkways (8/11/2003) Lynn Fells Parkway (5/9/2003) Saugus Iron Works (NHL, 10/15/1966) Saugus Town Hall (6/20/1985) The Commission completed an Inventory of Cultural and Historical Resources in 1986. This inventory was largely confined to resources that were at least 50 years old, and did not include many additional resources reflecting the growth of the Town since World War II. The results of this inventory have been entered into the Massachusetts Historical Commission’s MACRIS database. With a few exceptions, the inventory forms, along with inventory records created by other federal and state agencies, are available for downloading from the MACRIS site (http://mhc-macris.net/). The following listing is in two parts. The first lists properties included in the MACRIS database, while the second shows those properties which the Commission has identified for potential inclusion in the inventory. This includes both older properties not included in the previous inventory and those which have achieved the 50 year age criteria since the initial survey was done. It should be noted that the list of potential additions will expand as individual properties within areas are inventoried or miscellaneous residential properties are identified as being significant either as architecture or association.

    P o s i t ion i ng Wom e n to Wi n New Strategies for Turning Gender Stereotypes Into Competitive Advantages The Barbara Lee Family Foundation “Running my gubernatorial race was very different than running my previous race, and the Governor’s Guidebook series played an integral role in answering the questions I didn’t even know to ask. I will certainly rely on Positioning Women to Win to guide me through the challenging issues that arise during my campaign for re-election.” – Governor Christine Gregoire “Winning an election can never be taken for granted. The Governors Guidebook series arms both incumbents and first- time challengers with the “do’s” and “don’ts” of effectively communicating your achievements and vision.

  • 2013-2014 Legislative Scorecard
    Legislative Scorecard Votes and Leadership 2013-14 LEGISLATIVE SESSION - 1 - This is the inaugural edition of the Environmental League of Massachusetts legislative scorecard. We produced this scorecard to inform citizens about how their legislators voted on important environmental issues. We are pleased and grateful for the support of so many environmental leaders in the legislature. The scorecard relies first on roll call votes on legislation that deals with environmental and energy issues. Because there are so few roll call votes each session—and often these votes are unanimous—we have scored additional actions by legislators to further distinguish environmental champions. Bonus points were awarded to legislators who introduced bills that were ELM priorities or who introduced important amendments, particularly budget amendments to increase funding for state environmental agencies. In addition, we subtracted points for legislators who introduced legislation or amendments that we opposed. We want to recognize leadership and courage, in addition to votes, and have made every attempt to be fair and transparent in our scoring. Much happens during the legislative process that is impractical to score such as committee redrafts, committee votes to move or hold a bill, and measures that would improve flawed legislation. We have not attempted to include these actions, but we recognize that they greatly influence the process and outcomes. None of the bills or amendments scored here should be a surprise to legislators in terms of ELM’s support or opposition. Going forward, ELM will include votes and other actions that support additional revenues for transportation and promote transit, walking and biking. George Bachrach, President Erica Mattison, Legislative Director Highlights of the Session projects.
