2013 Quabbin Reservoir Watershed Ware River Watershed Water Quality Report: 2013 Quabbin Reservoir Watershed Ware River Watershed Morning dew on spider web (Bernadeta Susianti-Kubik, September 13, 2011) June 2014 Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation Office of Watershed Management Division of Water Supply Protection ABSTRACT This report is a summary of water quality monitoring results from 24 surface water stations established throughout the Quabbin Reservoir and Ware River watersheds and other special investigative samples. The Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), Division of Water Supply Protection, is the state agency charged with the responsibility of managing Quabbin Reservoir and its surrounding natural resources in order to protect, preserve, and enhance the environment of the Commonwealth and to assure the availability of pure water to future generations. The Environmental Quality Section maintains a comprehensive water quality monitoring program to ensure that Quabbin Reservoir and its tributaries meet state water quality standards. As part of this task, the Environmental Quality Section performs the necessary field work, interprets water quality data and prepares reports of findings. This annual summary is intended to meet the needs of the decision makers, the concerned public, and others whose decisions must reflect water quality considerations. Quabbin Reservoir water quality in 2013 satisfied the requirements of the Filtration Avoidance Criteria established under the Environmental Protection Agency Surface Water Treatment Rule. Monitoring of tributaries is a proactive measure aimed at identifying general trends and problem areas that may require additional investigation or corrective action. Compliance with state surface water quality standards among the tributaries varied with minor exceedances attributed to higher pollutant loads measured during storm events, wildlife impacts on water quality, and natural attributes of the landscape. The appendices to this report include field investigation reports, summary information on mean daily flows of gaged tributaries, water quality data summary tables, and plots of reservoir water quality results. Some of the ancillary data presented in this report has been compiled with the help of outside agencies (e.g., U.S. Geological Survey) and other workgroups within DCR whose efforts are acknowledged below.

  • Draft – Massdot Capital Investment Plan 1
    DRAFT – MASSDOT CAPITAL INVESTMENT PLAN 1 To our customers ­ I am pleased to present the Massachusetts Department of Transportation’s (MassDOT) draft five-year Capital Investment Plan (CIP). Over the coming weeks, we look forward to your feedback on the proposed projects that are funded. This document, in many respects, is the outcome of both Governor Patrick and the Legislature’s seven year effort to deliver on transportation reform and investment. In 2007, an immediate transportation needs bond bill was passed and signed into law, and the Governor created the first ever Mobility Compact to enable the historically siloed transportation agencies to work together to improve our system. One year later, the Patrick Administration worked with the Legislature to enact the $3.0 billion Accelerated 1 Secretary of Transportation Richard Davey offering remarks at the 2013 Bridge Program to address hundreds of crumbling bridges in Transportation Day on the Hill event at the State House. Massachusetts. In 2009, Governor Patrick and the Legislature delivered landmark transportation reform legislation that eliminated bureaucracies, improved safety and the customer experience, saved the taxpayer hundreds of millions of dollars and created MassDOT. In 2011 and 2012, the Patrick Administration launched a series of statewide conversations to hear the public’s vision for the future of transportation in the Commonwealth and ideas for how to equitably pay for it. This past July, new transportation reforms and additional resources became available to invest in transportation. And now, we are publishing the first consolidated transportation capital plan in the Commonwealth’s recent history. This CIP is designed to be a transparent, comprehensive plan that describes how MassDOT is funded and provides a roadmap for balancing in our statewide transportation needs with fiscally constrained transportation resources.

  • 3 Water Resources
    3 Water Resources 3.1 Historical Perspective on Water Resources at Ware River The community of Boston commenced its search for clean water in 1652, when the General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony incorporated the Water Works Company. Under the Company’s direction, water was delivered to Boston from wells through wooden pipes to a wooden storage reservoir from which water was distributed throughout the community. By the late 18th Century, this system was no longer adequate to supply the needs of the expanding population. Consequently, the supply system was extended to Jamaica Pond in Roxbury. Water supply problems continued to plague the city throughout the 19th Century. Expansion of the supply system was initiated only after the supply needs became critical. By the 1830s the system was inadequate, and the decision was made to expand. In 1849, an aqueduct was completed to deliver water to the city from Lake Cochituate in Natick. The system was expanded again in 1873, with the completion of an aqueduct to bring water from the Sudbury River into the supply system. 1870 - 1890 was a period of rapid growth for the City of Boston and the surrounding municipalities. The demand for high quality drinking water grew beyond the system’s capacity. In 1893, the legislature directed the State Board of Health to develop plans to expand the supply system. Three alternatives were investigated: Lake Winnipesauke in New Hampshire, the Merrimac River, and the Nashua River above Clinton. After careful consideration, Winnipesauke was eliminated because of the potential difficulties of dealing with another state.

  • Overview of Water Use and Transfer in the Chicopee River Basin
    Overview of Water Use and Transfer in the Chicopee River Basin Prepared For: Massachusetts Department of Environmental Management Office of Water Resources 251 Causeway Street, Suite 700 Boston, Massachusetts 02114 Prepared By: Gomez and Sullivan Engineers, P.C. Engineers and Environmental Scientists 55 North Stark Highway Weare, NH 03281 Final Report, September 2003 Overview of Water Use and Transfer in the Chicopee River Basin Final Report Executive Summary Introduction This study was funded by the Executive Office of Environmental Affairs (EOEA), through the Massachusetts Watershed Initiative and managed by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Management (MDEM), now the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (MDCR) to evaluate seasonal water movement and use within the Chicopee River basin. Located in central Massachusetts, the Chicopee River basin is surrounded by the Connecticut, Millers, Nashua, Blackstone, French, and Quinebaug River basins. The Chicopee River basin drains approximately 722 mi2 and is comprised of three major watersheds-the Swift River, Ware River, and Quaboag River watersheds. Quabbin Reservoir, located in the Swift River watershed of the Chicopee, is one of the largest reservoirs constructed for public water supply in the world. It is the primary water supply source for most of the cities and towns near metropolitan Boston. The resulting wastewater is treated and discharged into Boston Harbor, many miles from its original source. The Chicopee River basin also contains several dams and is the site of many other withdrawals and diversions. Interbasin transfers and diversions can cause major reductions in streamflow. The objective of this study was to evaluate streamflows, precipitation, water withdrawals, wastewater discharges, and interbasin water transfers to quantify and describe water movement within the Chicopee River basin.

Townsfolk participated in this program by identifying important landscapes in town that they thought needed preservation and protection. For those of you who took part in that process, I thank you. The final report from this program is now available for review. I encourage everyone to take a look at this report and review the recommendations that were made. It will take a collaborative effort to put into action at least some of these recommendations. It is my hope to have an action plan in place by this November. If you have any suggestions and contributions to the formation of the action please contact me. This will be an on going process, please stay tuned. Thank you.
