This book was released on 1981 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tihonet Pond No. 2 Dam consists of an earth embankment with a vertical stone masonry wall over a portion of the downstream face. The embankment has a minimum top width of approximately 30 feet, a maximum height of 15 feet, and upstream and downstream slopes that vary from vertical at a downstream cut-stone masonry wall to approximately 2 H to 1 V. The overall length of the dam is approximately 660 ft. Included in this length are two spillway structures located at the left and right ends of the dam. These structures consist of stoplogs in concrete slots emptying into conduits that pass through the dam. Based on visual inspection and a review of all available pertinent data, the dam is considered to be in poor condition. Features that could effect the structural integrity of the dam include wet areas at the downstream toe of the dam, erosion and slumping of dam slopes, extensive tree growth on the dam slopes, movement of the downstream vertical masonry wall. The test flood would overtop this dam by about 0.5 ft., it would also overtop a second dam located on this pond, Tihonet Pond No. 1 Dam, by about 2.5 ft. The crest of this second dam is approximately elevation 40 NGVD. The spillway for this dam would carry about 10% of the Test Flood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The region of southeastern Massachusetts where the Towns of Plymouth, Carver, Kingston and Duxbury are located is known for its abundant water resources, its cranberry agriculture, and its unique ecosystems. Rapid population growth in this region, however, has resulted in increased competition among agricultural, commercial, ecological, and residential demands for water resources. Continued population growth has created the potential for increased groundwater withdrawals that could deplete streamflow and lower surface-water levels in streams, ponds, and wetlands and increase the loading of nonpoint-source septic contamination. These potential effects may contribute to habitat destruction, degradation of water quality, and loss of wetlands. The unconfined aquifer that underlies this region is composed mostly of glacially deposited sediments ranging in size from clay to boulders and is the second largest aquifer system in Massachusetts (Hansen and Lapham, 1992). It ranges in thickness from less than 20 to more than 200 ft, and contains more than 500 billion gallons of freshwater (Williams and Tasker, 1974). Groundwater discharge from the aquifer supports numerous kettle ponds and coastal streams (fig. 1). The aquifer was designated as a Sole Source Aquifer by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, recognizing that groundwater is a vital source of drinking water for many of the communities in the area. The population in this region has nearly tripled in the past 30 years; as a result, nearly 40 percent of agricultural lands in the region have been lost to development (Woods Hole Research Center, 2007). Over the next 20 years, the overall population of southeastern Massachusetts is projected to increase by more than 200,000, making this part of southeastern Massachusetts the fastest growing region in the State (The Nature Conservancy, 2002). Large increases in population and the conversion of open space to residential development creates concerns for potential effects on the quality and quantity of the region's water supply. Historically, the Plymouth-Carver area has been one of the most important centers of cranberry production in the United States. Cranberries produced in this region account for most of the Massachusetts harvests, and in 2001 were about one-third of the Nation's harvest (New England Agricultural Statistics Service, 2002). In recent years, a variety of economic factors, including out-of-state competition and declining cranberry prices, has led some cranberry growers to convert upland portions of their land holdings to residential development (Flint, 2002).The Nature Conservancy has recognized this area as one of the most significant ecosystems in the northeastern United States. The region contains unique ecosystems such as the Plymouth Pinelands, an approximately 30-mi2 area in the northeastern portion of the region, a large state forest (Myles Standish State Forest), and two State-designated Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (Ellisville Harbor and the Herring River Watershed) (fig. 1). Current and predicted growth in population and residential development and the reliance in this area on groundwater for water supply created the need for a reexamination of the water resources of the Plymouth-Carver-Kingston-Duxbury (PCKD) aquifer system. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, has conducted previous hydrologic studies of the aquifer system, including hydrologic assessments of aquifer yield and water quality (Williams and Tasker, 1974; Persky, 1993) and a regional modeling study (Hansen and Lapham, 1992). Advances in computing capabilities, numerical groundwater-flow models, and geographic information system (GIS) tools developed since the previous studies were conducted have allowed for the development of a more sophisticated groundwater-flow model that builds upon those earlier efforts.

Download or read book Ecological Integrity written by David Pimentel and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2013-04-22 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global Integrity Project has brought together leading scientists and thinkers from around the world to examine the combined problems of threatened and unequal human well-being, degradation of the ecosphere, and unsustainable economies. Based on the proposition that healthy, functioning ecosystems are a necessary prerequisite for both economic security and social justice, the project is built around the concept of ecological integrity and its practical implications for policy and management. Ecological Integrity presents a synthesis and findings of the project. Contributors -- including Robert Goodland, James Karr, Orie Loucks, Jack Manno, William Rees, Mark Sagoff, Robert Ulanowicz, Philippe Crabbe, Laura Westra, David Pimentel, Reed Noss, and others -- examine the key elements of ecological integrity and consider what happens when integrity is lost or compromised. The book: examines historical and philosophical foundations of the concept of ecological integrity explores how integrity can be measured examines the relationships among ecological integrity, human health, and food production looks at economic and ethical issues that need to be considered in protecting ecological integrity offers concrete recommendations for reversing ecological degradation while promoting social and economic justice and welfare . Contributors argue that there is an urgent need for rapid and fundamental change in the ecologically destructive patterns of collective human behavior if society is to survive and thrive in coming decades. Ecological Integrity is a groundbreaking book that integrates environmental science, economics, law, and ethics in problem analysis, synthesis, and solution, and is a vital contribution for anyone concerned with interactions between human and planetary health.
