  • Scope of Services (Adobe PDF)
    Attachment A Scope of Services Sawmill River Implementation Project: An Ecosystem Approach to Restoration Project # 10-08/319 Introduction The Sawmill River subwatershed encompasses 32 square miles in the western Massachusetts towns of Montague, Shutesbury, Leverett and Wendell. From its headwaters above Lake Wyola in Shutesbury, the river flows westerly fourteen miles to its confluence with the Connecticut River in Montague. Forested and steep terrain in the upper reaches of the watershed accounts for approximately 85% of the total watershed area. Over the past thirty years, towns in the Sawmill River watershed have been plagued by numerous river-related problems. Flooding from storms and seasonal high water flows has damaged roads, farmland and other private property. Sediment has accumulated under bridges, obstructing flow and threatening bridge safety. Water quality, fisheries and wildlife habitat have been adversely impacted by sediment load transport and bank scouring. Watershed communities have attempted to apply "quick fixes" to these problems. Numerous stream bank stabilization and dredging projects were undertaken to address catastrophic damage to roads, bridges and agricultural areas. While these emergency responses were considered necessary at the time, they did not constitute a long-term solution; over time, local officials have noticed a dramatic increase in damages from flooding and storms. Bank erosion along the Sawmill River is accelerating, contributing to more substantial sediment loads, which in turn further impacts ecosystem health and public safety. Each time towns and residents have attempted to fix one problem, other problems emerged. It became clear that a dependable holistic or ecosystem approach must be found in order to successfully address long-standing problems in this watershed.
