A stormwater water quality assessment was completed in 2015 which indicated the two sites on Eagle Hill Drive as having the greatest impact on water quality. Currently, untreated stormwater discharges to Great Herring Pond via two outfalls on Eagle Hill Drive. Suspended sediment, nutrients, pathogens, hydrocarbons, and other contaminants associated with the runoff negatively impact water quality in the Pond and, as a result, the active herring run between the Pond and the Cape Cod Canal. Great Herring Pond water quality data was assessed in 2014 by the School of Marine Science and Technology and was found impaired when compared to MassDEP and regional standards. The surface water quality impairment is due to limited clarity, high nutrient levels and low dissolved oxygen. This project seeks to improve water quality in Great Herring Pond to protect the viability of the active herring run as well as provide a recreational resource to residents. Coastal Pollution Remediation Program June 2016 ENV 17 CZM 04 Town of Plymouth The Problem The project site (Eagle Hill Drive and Douglas Lane) on Great Herring Pond are located in the South Coastal Watershed with receiving waters of Buzzards Bay in the Buzzards Bay Coastal Watershed (see Attachment 4, Map 1). Great Herring Pond is a 427 acre pond connected to Buzzards Bay via the Cape Cod Canal and the Herring River. Great Herring Pond is spawning habitat for the active Bournedale Herring Run with herring traveling from Cape Cod Canal up Herring Brook to Great Herring Pond to spawn. Herring runs which might have once had hundreds of thousands of returning fish are now reported to have declines of 90% or more of the population. In 2006, the NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service designated both Blueback Herring and Alewives as Species of Concern. Below is a graph from MA Division of Marine Fisheries indicating the decline in herring over the last few decades and slight recovery over the past few years. Updates: 2014 - 278,134 up 10% 2015 - 239,169 down 14% Throughout the past several years there has been an increase in algae blooms and decrease in water clarity in Great Herring Pond and Little Herring Pond. In response to these concerns, the Herring Ponds Watershed Association (HPWA) was established in 2007 as a volunteer neighborhood association focusing on the health of the water and outreach/education. Beginning in 2008 the Town of Plymouth (the Town) began a partnership with the HPWA to assist in water quality sampling, stormwater remediation and outreach efforts. A recent stormwater outfall study completed in 2015 around Great Herring Pond prioritized stormwater sites based on nutrient and suspended solid loads to the pond. As part of this grant application, the Town is focusing on the two outfalls with the highest impacts to the pond, both located on Eagle Hill Drive with stormwater runoff from Eagle Hill Drive and Douglas Lane (see Attachment 4, Map 2). The current stormwater system was installed in 1965 and is comprised of a series of catch basins which transport untreated to two 15” outfalls located directly in Great Herring Pond. The two outfalls are located off of Eagle Hill Drive which is a public road. There are currently town owned stormwater structures off of Douglas Lane which contribute to the outfalls on Eagle Hill Drive. Douglas Lane is currently maintained by the Town and is on the list for public roads acceptance list for Town Meeting. The Town has up-to-date information indicating surface water quality impairment on Great Herring Pond as well as direct stormwater pollution from the outfalls described in this project. The surface water quality impairment is due to limited clarity, high nutrient levels and low dissolved oxygen. In addition, high bacteria levels and total suspended solids have been documented. Below are brief results of these studies; 2015 Stormwater Outfall Assessment in Great Herring Pond, 2014 Plymouth Pond and Lake Atlas Study, 2011-2013 Historical Stormwater Data. Coastal Pollution Remediation Program June 2016 ENV 17 CZM 04 Town of Plymouth 2015 Stormwater Outfall Assessment in Great Herring Pond In the Fall and Winter of 2015, the Town funded an intensive stormwater assessment on six municipal outfalls located around Great Herring Pond. The stormwater assessment was performed by the School of Marine Science and Technology (SMAST) throughout three storm events. Sampling consisted of measuring runoff flow and collected water quality samples throughout the length of the storm. The Technical Memorandum Great Herring Pond Stormwater Monitoring Project Results (see Attachment 3) indicated the two outfalls on the proposed project site at Eagle Hill Drive (R7 and R10) have the greatest pollutant load impact on the pond. The goal of the assessment was to prioritize sites for stormwater remediation efforts to improve water quality in Great Herring Pond. The graphs below are excerpts from the attached Technical Memorandum and demonstrate the impact of total nitrogen, total phosphorus and total suspended solids from each of the six sites during three storm events. Clearly R7 has the largest pollutant load with R10 as the second load. 2014 Plymouth Pond and Lake Atlas Study In 2014 the Town received grant funding from the Massachusetts Environmental Trust to collaborate with SMAST to conduct water sample collection, cover laboratory fees, compile and analyze data with final report on 39 ponds. DMEA staff conducted a press release which brought in over 50 new volunteers for this program. Great Herring Pond was 1 of the 39 ponds sampled in 2014. In addition, the SMAST Watershed Scientist reviewed previous data (2008-2014) collected on this pond to determine whether the pond meets surface water quality standards and regional standards. As indicated in Appendix B25 of the Town of Plymouth Pond and Lake Atlas June 2015 (see Attachment 3) Great Herring Pond is impaired. The impairment is based on consistently limited clarity and high nutrient and chlorophyll concentrations. The dissolved oxygen profiles generally have deep concentrations above the MassDEP regulatory limit, although in some instances in waters deeper than 8m and 9m the concentrations were below the minimum limit. 2011-2013 Historical Stormwater Data In addition to the Stormwater Assessment completed in 2015, stormwater samples were collected at the project site outfalls during 5 separate storm events. Both sites indicate high total phosphorus and total nitrogen levels as well as E-coli levels ranging from 75- 7,400 colonies/100ml.

This Project seeks to improve water quality in Great Herring Pond in an effort to maintain and improve habitat for the threatened herring run. In order to preserve and protect water quality in this valuable natural resource, pollutant loading entering the pond via stormwater runoff needs to be reduced to the maximum extent practical.

  • General Description of the Six Ponds of Plymouth
    General Description of the Six Ponds of Plymouth Bloody Pond Little Long Pond Gallows Pond Long Pond Halfway Pond Round Pond The Six Ponds form a diverse set of kettle ponds in south Plymouth. The terrain is part of the Wareham outwash plain formed by the southerly flow of glacial meltwater to the North Atlantic Ocean during the terminal glaciation, approximately 14,000 years ago. The primary constituent of the outwash plain is sand laid down as the glaciers receded to the north. There are larger rocks and the occasional very large erratic. The general topography of southeastern Massachusetts was formed by the melting, outflow, and deposition of silicates as the glacial ice retreated. The rolling terrain is a remnant of the basal ice blocks remaining as the overlying glacier receded. The larger stagnant ice blocks resulted in deeper depressions and today those depressions with bottoms below the water table have produced the kettle ponds. The map below illustrates the location and dimensions of the Six Ponds. This map was obtained from the Mass GIS Oliver system. The bathmetry of Halfway, Little Long, and Long Ponds has been entered into Oliver; Bloody, Gallows, and Round Ponds have not had recent bathymetric surveys by the Massachusetts Department of Fisheries and Wildlife (DFW). Additional descriptions of Little Long and Long Ponds are available from https://docs.digital.mass.gov/dataset/little-long- pond/resource/16f0a997-24bf-4708-abd7-aa612f20375a and https://docs.digital.mass.gov/dataset/long-pond- plymouth/resource/f5f6de2a-32da-41de-93d7-a0347b554fd8.

Water quality in the aquifer is high. Water levels in the ponds fluctuate directly with the water table from year to year and during the season. Coastal pond shore communities contain animals and insects that have adapted to these fluctuations and only exist in coastal plain ponds. Concern about exceeding the sanitary code for bacteria levels. Last year in August, siX tests at College Pond and three at Curlew Pond eXceeded allowable levels. DCR Ponds and Lakes Program restored Banks at Fearing Pond in 2009. Last state conducted water quality survey was in 2004. The 2004 tests found low nutrient and high dissolved oXygen levels in Charge, Fearing and College Ponds.
