Connecticut River Coastal Conservation District To better address natural resource concerns at the watershed level, Connecticut’s Soil and Water Conservation Districts are reorganizing from eight county-based districts to five regional districts. After many years of planning, a landmark change in state regulations formalized the reorganization in late December. The Middlesex District will become the Connecticut River Coastal Conservation District officially at a special meeting on February 26, 2003. Municipalities of the new Connecticut The reorganization will allow us to work in an extended area that includes all municipalities within the major regional basins of the lower Connecticut River watershed— the Salmon, Eightmile and Mattabesset—as well as several coastal watersheds within the South Central Eastern Complex. The result will be a more holistic approach to Connecticut River and coastal conservation efforts. Our watershed-based projects in the Salmon, Eightmile and the Mattabesset will be enhanced by our ability to provide a full suite of technical assistance to our customers throughout the watershed, including municipal staff, land use commissioners, and private residents. Eleven new municipalities will be added to our service area, including: Berlin, New Britain, Newington and Rocky Hill, in the Mattabesset River watershed; Madison, with a corner in the Mattabesset River watershed and in several coastal watersheds; Marlborough, Hebron and Colchester, in the Salmon River watershed; Salem and Lyme, in the Eightmile River watershed; and Old Lyme, in the Connecticut River main stem and coastal watersheds.
