<p class=CZ-MailSubhead>Straits Pond Restoration Project Complete<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=CZ-MailParagraph>In October, the towns of Hull, Cohasset, and Hingham,
the Straits Pond Watershed Association, state and federal legislators, agency
representatives, nonprofit organizations, and dozens of local residents
gathered to celebrate the completion of the West Corner Bridge
reconstruction—marking the end of the $2.8 million Straits Pond Restoration
Project—the largest tidal restoration project to date in the
Commonwealth. Culverts between Straits Pond and the Weir River estuary were
enlarged and expanded tide gates were installed. These upgrades are designed to
increase tidal exchange between Straits Pond and the Weir River and will
restore 94 acres of tidal pond habitat and improve tidal flow to a critically
impaired estuary, which is part of the Weir River Area of Critical
Environmental Concern (ACEC) and provides valuable nursery and feeding habitat
for a variety of recreational and commercial fish. Improved water quality will
also reduce nuisance algal blooms and seasonal infestations of midges that have
been a serious quality-of-life issue for area residents for decades. Project
partners include CZM, the Department of Fish and Game’s (DFG) Division of
Ecological Restoration (DER), the Department of Conservation and Recreation's
(DCR) ACEC Program, the Massachusetts Bays Program (MBP), the Department of
Environmental Protection (MassDEP), the Department of Transportation, the
Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization, the Gulf of Maine Council,
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers (USACE), the Federal Highway Program, the Conservation Law Foundation/Restore
America's Estuaries program, the towns of Hull, Cohasset, and Hingham, the
Center for Student Coastal Research, Boston University, and the Straits Pond
and Weir River Watershed Associations. Also, Senator Robert Hedlund,
Representative Garrett Bradley, and Congressman William Delahunt were
instrumental in securing state and federal funds for bridge reconstruction.
CZM’s South Shore Regional Coordinator, Jason Burtner, spent many hours
spearheading this effort over the last decade.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=CZ-MailSubhead>James Brook Flood Mitigation and Salt Marsh Restoration
Project Set to Break Ground<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=CZ-MailParagraph>Work is set to begin on the James Brook culvert
replacement project in Cohasset. Through this project, an undersized and
deteriorating culvert and flapper-style tide gates will be replaced by an
enlarged culvert and automated sluice-style tide gate. Early in the 20th
century, the 14-acre Jacobs Meadow salt marsh was fragmented from Cohasset
Harbor when Border Street was constructed. The undersized culvert that was
installed to connect James Brook to the harbor limited stream and stormwater
flows from James Brook—resulting in the flooding of residences and the
town center area. It also reduced tidal flow to Jacobs Meadow, causing a
proliferation of the invasive plant, <i>Phragmites australis</i>. Design and
construction of the new culvert and tide gate will be funded by $450,000 in
Seaport Council capital funds managed by CZM in partnership with the DFG.
Project partners include CZM, DER, MBP, the National Marine Fisheries Service
Habitat Conservation Division, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),
and the Cohasset Center for Student Coastal Research. This project also
complements and builds on previous flood mitigation work funded through the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and Massachusetts Emergency
Management Agency.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=CZ-MailSubhead>State Hazard Mitigation Team Member Receives Award<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=CZ-MailParagraph>In September, Richard Zingarelli, DCR’s Flood
Hazard Management Program Manager and Acting State Hazard Mitigation Officer,
was presented with the Government Civil Engineer Award by the Boston Society of
Civil Engineers Section (BSCES) of the American Society of Civil Engineers.
This annual award is given to a BSCES member who serves as a paid public sector
engineer at a federal, state, municipal agency, department, or authority in
Massachusetts. Rich was recognized for his more than 30 years of experience in
water resource planning and engineering while working for DCR, the USACE, and
Narragansett Bay Estuary Program. In addition to being a valuable member of the
Hazard Mitigation Team, Rich also serves as the State Coordinator for the
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). As the State NFIP Coordinator, he is
the primary liaison for the Commonwealth’s communities, state agencies,
businesses, and individual property owners to provide information on the NFIP,
FEMA flood maps, and general floodplain management. Rich works closely with CZM
Shoreline and Floodplain Management staff on coastal floodplain management
issues and we congratulate him on this well deserved honor.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=CZ-MailSubhead>CZ-Tip: Boat Winterizing—Keep It Green<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=CZ-MailParagraph>As the cold weather settles in, most boat owners are
removing their vessels from the water and storing them for the winter. Boats
must be properly prepared for storage to ensure that all parts and systems are
protected from the weather and are not harmed from the lack of use. This
process, referred to as winterizing or decommissioning, can impact the
environment if not done properly. Oil may spill during and oil change, fuel can
degrade if not stabilized, soaps and detergents can harm marine life, bottom paint
can wash into the water during pressure washing, and boat sewage can pollute
coastal waters if not disposed of properly. For more information and specific
tips to winterize your boat in an environmentally sensitive manner, see the <a

Deadline Extended</span> - In 2008 and 2009, EPA amended the Spill Prevention,
Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rule. The compliance date for these changes
has been extended for numerous facilities. Many coastal businesses (marinas,
boatyards, yacht clubs, and others) are required to have SPCC plans for oil
storage areas. The final rule makes changes to the secondary containment
requirements, amends the security requirements, and amends the tank integrity
testing requirements, among other changes. SPCC plans that incorporate these
changes need to be finalized by November 10, 2011. For details, see EPA's <a
