This book was released on 2013 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Geological Survey and the Massachusetts Department of Fish and Game, Division of Ecological Restoration, collaborated to collect baseline information on the quantity and quality of sediment impounded behind selected dams in Massachusetts, including sediment thickness and the occurrence of contaminants potentially toxic to benthic organisms. The thicknesses of impounded sediments were measured, and cores of sediment were collected from 32 impoundments in 2004 and 2005. Cores were chemically analyzed, and concentrations of 32 inorganic elements and 108 organic compounds were quantified. Sediment thicknesses varied considerably among the 32 impoundments, with an average thickness of 3.7 feet. Estimated volumes also varied greatly, ranging from 100,000 cubic feet to 81 million cubic feet. Concentrations of toxic contaminants as well as the number of contaminants detected above analytical quantification levels (also known as laboratory reporting levels) varied greatly among sampling locations. Based on measured contaminant concentrations and comparison to published screening thresholds, bottom sediments were predicted to be toxic to bottom-dwelling (benthic) organisms in slightly under 30 percent of the impoundments sampled. Statistically significant relations were found between several of the contaminants and individual indicators of urban land use and industrial activity in the upstream drainage areas of the impoundments. However, models developed to estimate contaminant concentrations at unsampled sites from upstream landscape characteristics had low predictive power, consistent with the long and complex land-use history that is typical of many drainage areas in Massachusetts.

This book was released on 2014-07-23 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are presently more than 3,000 dams in Massachu-setts. Many of these dams are no longer used for their original purpose, and some are in disrepair. Contaminants bound to sediment trapped behind dams have the potential to affect the downstream environment in the event of a sudden release or dam failure. These sediments may also be an ongoing source of contaminants to overlying water and to organisms living on or in bottom sediment. In addition, dams do not entirely retain impounded sediment and associated contaminants. Such sediments are subject to scour, resuspension, and downstream redistribution during storm events.
