Pathogens refers to the set of indicator bacterial organisms that includes fecal coliform, Escherichia coli (E. coli), and enterococci, and represent a threat to human health and the environment. Although not all bacteria are pathogenic the words “pathogens” and “bacteria” are used interchangeably in this TMDL. Pathogen contamination of our surface waters is most often a direct result of the improper management of human wastes, excrement from barnyard animals, pet feces and agricultural applications of manure. It can also result from large congregations of birds such as geese and gulls. Discharges of inadequately treated boat waste are of particular concern in urban coastal areas. Inappropriate disposal of human and animal wastes can degrade aquatic ecosystems and negatively affect public health. Pathogen contamination can also result in closures of shellfish beds, bathing beaches, and drinking water supplies. The closure of such important public resources can erode quality of life and diminish property values. Coastal communities rely on clean, productive, aesthetically pleasing marine and estuarine waters for swimming, boating, fishing and tourism. Failure to reduce and control bacterial contamination results in illness in humans, closures of shellfishing areas and bathing beaches, fish kills, unpleasant odors and visible scum. Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for pathogens have been established for waterbody segments within the Boston Harbor, Mystic, Weir and Weymouth Watersheds. This TMDL will be used to set permit limits and provide stakeholders a document to identify bacterial sources and take appropriate actions to reduce their effects. Who should read this document? The following groups and individuals can benefit from the information in this report: a) Towns and municipalities, especially National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase I and Phase II regulated communities, that are required by law to address stormwater and/or combined sewage overflows (CSOs), Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSO) and other sources of contamination (e.g., broken sewerage pipes and illicit connections) that contribute to a waterbody’s failure to meet Massachusetts Water Quality Standards for pathogens; b) watershed groups that wish to pursue funding to identify and/or mitigate sources of pathogens in their watersheds; c) harbormasters, public health officials and/or municipalities that are responsible for monitoring, enforcing or otherwise mitigating contamination

  • Tolling and Transponders in Massachusetts
    DRIVING INNOVATION: TOLLING AND TRANSPONDERS IN MASSACHUSETTS By Wendy Murphy and Scott Haller White Paper No. 150 July 2016 Pioneer Institute for Public Policy Research Pioneer’s Mission Pioneer Institute is an independent, non-partisan, privately funded research organization that seeks to improve the quality of life in Massachusetts through civic discourse and intellectually rigorous, data-driven public policy solutions based on free market principles, individual liberty and responsibility, and the ideal of effective, limited and accountable government. This paper is a publication of the Center for Better Government, which seeks limited, accountable government by promoting competitive delivery of public services, elimination of unnecessary regulation, and a focus on core government functions. Current initiatives promote reform of how the state builds, manages, repairs and finances its transportation assets as well as public employee benefit reform. The Center for School Reform seeks to increase the education options available to parents and students, drive system-wide reform, and ensure accountability in public education. The Center’s work builds on Pioneer’s legacy as a recognized leader in the charter public school movement, and as a champion of greater academic rigor in Massachusetts’ elementary and secondary schools. Current initiatives promote choice and competition, school-based man- agement, and enhanced academic performance in public schools. The Center for Economic Opportunity seeks to keep Massachusetts competitive by pro- moting a healthy business climate, transparent regulation, small business creation in urban areas and sound environmental and development policy. Current initiatives promote market reforms to increase the supply of affordable housing, reduce the cost of doing business, and revitalize urban areas.

  • Southbay Report.Qxd
    August 30, 2004 Mr. Mark Maloney Director of the Boston Redevelopment Authority City of Boston 9th Floor City Hall Plaza Boston, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Maloney- On behalf of the South Bay Planning Study Task Force, I am pleased to present to you the South Bay Planning Study - Phase One. Over the past seven months our group of seventeen devoted volunteers, including representatives from Chinatown and the Leather District, have worked to create a plan for this important new part of the City of Boston. The vision that has emerged from our efforts is exciting and broad-reaching, and at the same time identifies many issues that will require further study in the second phase of our work. Conclusions that we have reached include: The project should be expanded from a set of parcels totaling 10 acres to a District consisting of 20 acres, transforming it from a project to a neighborhood. The district, which currently consists of highway infrastructure that divides and separates it from the neighborhoods, should become a series of city blocks that knit together and connect many important assets of the City of Boston. The southern entrance into the City that is now dominated by transportation infrastructure should instead be revealed as a great gateway portal for the City from the South. We must collectively work towards providing housing for all income levels and towards providing employment and employment training to benefit the adjacent neighborhoods. We should create a terminus to the Rose Kennedy Greenway in the form of a signature park that will help to meet the recreational needs of the neighborhoods and connect the Greenway to Fort Point Channel.

  • Big Dig Benefit: a Quicker Downtown Trip Turnpike Authority Report Cites Business Gain
    Big Dig benefit: A quicker downtown trip Turnpike Authority report cites business gain By Mac Daniel February 15, 2006 The $14.6-billion Big Dig project has cut the average trip through the center of Boston from 19.5 minutes to 2.8 minutes and has increased by 800,000 the number of people in Eastern Massachusetts who can now get to Logan International Airport in 40 minutes or less, according to a report that is scheduled to be released today. The report is the first to analyze and link the drive- time benefits of the project to its economic impact since the Big Dig built its final onramp last month. The report relies on data obtained since milestones were completed in 2003, such as opening of the Ted Williams Tunnel to all traffic and opening of the northbound and southbound Interstate 93 tunnels. Officials at the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority, which manages the project, released the executive summary portion of the report to the Globe yesterday. The improved drive times are projected to result in savings of $167 million annually: $24 million in vehicle operating costs and $143 million in time. The report estimates that the Big Dig will generate $7 billion in private investment and will create tens of the thousands of jobs in the South Boston waterfront area and along the I-93 corridor. The report was authored by the Economic Development Research Group, Inc., a Boston-based consulting firm, at the behest of the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority, which paid about $100,000 for the research, much of which was gathered from agencies such as the Boston Redevelopment Authority and the Boston Metropolitan Planning Organization, officials said.
