Massachusetts Freshwater Beaches [2020]: Water Quality Data for Public and Semi-Public Beaches Massachusetts Freshwater Beaches [2020]: Water quality data for public and semi-public beaches The table below summarizes testing and posting information for each freshwater beach in Massachusetts. Under the state regulations, freshwater beaches must test for either E. coli or Enterococci. Most beaches do not have to post after each exceedance, provided that (1) they take an immediate resample and (2) that resample does not exceed the standard. Thus, a beach may have an exceedance but no days posted. Conversely, a beach may have days posted, but no exceedances, if it was posted for a reason other than a bacterial exceedance (e.g. rainfall, a cyanobacterial harmful algae bloom, or another hazard such as limited visibility due to poor water clarity).

  • Zebra Mussel Task Force Final Recommendations
    Zebra Mussel Task Force Final Recommendations Introduction In November 2009, the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy & Environmental Affairs (EEA) convened the Zebra Mussel Task Force (ZMTF) to make recommendations to the Secretary of EEA on an updated action plan to address the presence of zebra mussels (ZMs) in water bodies of the Commonwealth. The Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) and Department of Fish and Game (DFG) play an essential role in protecting and preserving the natural resource of the Commonwealth in general and in particular with respect to ZMs. DCR is steward of one of the largest state parks systems in the country. Its 450,000 acres is made up of forests, parks, greenways, historic sites and landscapes, seashores, lakes, ponds, reservoirs and watersheds. DCR’s mission is to “protect, promote and enhance our common wealth of natural, cultural and recreational resources.” The DCR Lakes and Ponds Program has statewide responsibility to manage, protect, and restore the Commonwealth’s lakes and ponds. As part of this responsibility, the DCR Lakes and Ponds Program provides statewide leadership in aquatic invasive species (AIS) planning, management, technical assistance and education. The DCR Lakes and Ponds program has developed an aggressive, multi- pronged program to address the threat of AIS that includes hands-on management of AIS, training programs for citizens, boat ramp monitoring, education and outreach programs and materials, and ongoing planning and research to keep up to date on the science of AIS management. The Office of Fishing and Boating Access (OFBA) in the DFG is responsible for constructing, providing for the management of and regulating state public access facilities such as boat ramps at water bodies across the Commonwealth.

  • Massachusetts Freshwater Beaches [2018]: Water Quality Data for Public and Semi-Public Beaches
    Massachusetts Freshwater Beaches [2018]: Water quality data for public and semi-public beaches The table below summarizes testing and posting information for each freshwater beach in Massachusetts. Under the state regulations, freshwater beaches must test for either E. coli or Enterococci. Most beaches do not have to post after each exceedance, provided that (1) they take an immediate resample and (2) that resample does not exceed the standard. Thus, a beach may have an exceedance but no days posted. Conversely, a beach may have days posted, but no exceedances, if it was posted for a reason other than a bacterial exceedance (e.g. rainfall, a cyanobacterial harmful algae bloom, or another hazard such as limited visibility due to poor water clarity).
