Annual Report – Permit Year 4
Part II. Self-Assessment
MassHighway has completed the required self-assessment and has determined that the MS4 is in compliance with all permit
conditions. MassHighway submitted a revised NOI to EPA and DEP on January 3, 2007. MassHighway received partial
authorization for areas outside of endangered species habitat on January 25, 2007. MassHighway has submitted the letters received
from US Fish and Wildlife Services and National Marine Fisheries and is awaiting full authorization under the general permit. The
items in Part III of this report reflect the BMPs included in the revised submittal and MassHighway’s progress towards implementing
the programs.
MassHighway has satisfied the ESA eligibility provision under Criterion D (Small MS4 Permit, Addendum B) with regard to the
dwarf wedgemussel in all areas tributary to its habitat in the Connecticut River Basin (See Appendix B for consultation
correspondence with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service). MassHighway has satisfied the eligibility criteria with regard to the short nose
sturgeon in all areas tributary to its habitat in the identified portions of the Connecticut and Merrimack River Basins (See Appendix
B for consultation correspondence with National Marine Fisheries Service). MassHighway has satisfied the ESA eligibility
provisions under Criterion A (Small MS4 Permit, Addendum B) with regard to the dwarf wedgemussel and short nose sturgeon in all
areas not tributary to the identified portions of the Connecticut and Merrimack River Basins.
MassHighway has satisfied the eligibility criteria for protection of historic properties by obtaining concurrence from the
Massachusetts Historical Commission (MHC) regarding MassHighway’s opinion that there are presently no known storm water
discharges from its roadways located in urbanized areas and within 500-feeet of any historic property identified in MassGIS’s
historic properties data layer (see Appendix C for correspondence with the MHC).

7b. WLA Assessment
Projects within a watershed with an approved TMDL are most likely subject to the Wetlands Protection Act (WPA). MassHighway
projects which are subject to the WPA strive to meet the WPA’s Stormwater Policy to the greatest extent possible. Meeting the
requirements of the Stormwater Policy should provide sufficient water quantity and quality controls to reduce pollutant loading to the
impaired waterbodies. The attached table tracks the projects within approved TMDL watersheds and summarizes the controls
implemented to meet the TMDL requirements. New design and construction projects which are proposed within a TMDL watershed
will incorporate measures to meet the TMDL requirements.
Part IV. Summary of Information Collected and Analyzed
MassHighway did not implement any programs which collect or analyze information during Permit Year 4.
Part V. Program Outputs & Accomplishments (OPTIONAL)
MassHighway’s accomplishments during the fourth permit year are summarized in Part 1- 4 of this annual report.

Attn: Henry Barbaro
Dear Mr. Blundo,
This is in response to your letter dated February 12, 2007 regarding an application by the
Massachusetts Highway Department (MassHighway) for coverage under the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System General Permit for Discharges from Small Municipal Separate
Storm Water Systems (MS4 permit) administered by the US Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA). EPA has granted MassHighway partial authorization to discharge stonn water under this
permit with the exception of the Merrimack and Connecticut River mega-basins. In order for
MassHighway to obtain coverage for the remaining roadways (i.e., those in the Merrimack and
Connecticut River watersheds), MassHighway must demonstrate to EPA that storm water runotf
from these roads will have no effect on threatened and/or endangered species listed by NOAA's
National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS).
As you know, populations of shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostntm) occur in the
Connecticut River from the Turners Falls Dam to the mouth of the River in Connecticut and in
the Merrimack River from the mouth of the River to the Lawrence Dam. Several MassHighway
roads exist in the Merrimack and Connecticut River watersheds and storm water runoff from
these mads has the potential to enter either of these rivers
MassHighway has used the Impervious Cover Model to demonstrate that storm water runoff
from MassHighway roads in the Merrimack and Connecticut River watersheds constitute less
than one percent of the total discharge volume of these rivers and less than one percent of the
possible total contaminant loading. l11is model assumes that all pavement runoff is captured and
discharged directly into the Rivers, while in reality most runoff is filtered through the ground and
a minimal amount of runoff is likely directly discharged to either River. As such, :vtassHighway
has detennined that storm water runoff from these roads has no effect on the water quality of the
mainstcm Merrimack and/or Connecticut Rivers. Additionally, MassHighway has an extensive
stonn water management program and employs many Best Management Practices to reduce the
pollutant load of any stonn water runoff from MassHighway roads.
The infonnation provided by MassHighway supports the conclusion that storm water runoff from
MassHighway roads within the Merrimack and Connecticut River watersheds will not atlect
water quality in either river in a way that will cause effects to shortnose sturgeon. As such, the
inclusion of these roadways in EPA's MS4 permit will not affect any species listed by NMfS.
Should project plans change or new information become available that changes the basis for this
determination, further coordination with NMfS should be pursued. Should you have any
questions about these comments, please contact Julie Crocker at (978) 281-9300 ext. 6530 or by
e-mail (Julie.Crocker@noaa.gov).
Sincerely,
'

Subject:
MassHighway NPDES Permit- Discharges to Shortnose Sturgeon Habitat
Dear Ms. Colligan:
The Massachusetts Highway Department (MassHighway) has received your letter dated August
21, 2006, requesting additional information to help determine whether discharges from
MassHighway outfalls have the potential to adversely affect shortnose sturgeon within the
Connecticut and Merrimack Rivers. In response to your request, we have prepared an estimate
of the average annual runoff and pollutant load from MassHighway roads in the Connecticut
and Merrimack River basins.
Using a state-of-the-art model (the Impervious Cover Model), MassHighway has determined
that the portion of MassHighway highways in both the Connecticut and Merrimack mega-basin
watersheds constitute less than one percent of the total discharge volume, as well as
contaminant loading; even if it is assumed that all the pavement runoff is captured and
discharged directly into the Rivers. We believe that this model, and the programs included in
the attached Notice of Intent, illustrates that the shortnose sturgeon habitat is not being
adversely impacted by MassHighway roads. We are attaching a copy of the current Notice of
Intent (submitted to EPA and DEP) to provide you with more detail on the existing and
proposed programs that are being implemented under the NPDES program
MassHighway currently has partial authorization to discharge storm water under the NPDES
General Permit for MS4s (outside of the Merrimack and Connecticut mega-basins). However,
Mass Highway will not be issued full authorization from EPA until the National Marine
Fisheries Service finds that MassHighway's storm water discharges do not adversely atTect the
shortnose sturgeon. Therefore, we appreciate your timely response to this submittal.

Attachment A. Analysis of MassHighway Storm Water Discharges within the Connecticut and Merrimack River Watersheds
MassHighway used the Impervious Cover Model (ICM) to perform a rough estimate of the
average annual storm water volume and pollutant loading based on impervious cover associated
with MassHighway roads and the land uses in the watershed.
1.0
Impervious Cover Model Overview
The Center of Watershed Protection’s Impervious Cover Model (Schueler, 2003) provides a
simple method for estimating storm water runoff volumes and pollutant loads based on
impervious cover in the watershed. The method uses the five following steps:
Watershed Delineation including delineation of each sub-watershed in an area of interest
and development of a GIS data-layer.
Impervious Cover Mapping including development of land cover and/or impervious cover
GIS data-layers.
Impervious Cover Determination for overall watershed impervious cover magnitude and
percentage of watershed area.
Estimation of Annual Storm Water Runoff Volume based on watershed impervious cover.
Estimation of Average Annual Pollutant Loads using annual runoff volume and event mean
pollutant concentration for selected pollutants.
The equations used to estimate annual storm water runoff and pollutant load are shown in
Figure 1.
i
Attachment A. Analysis of MassHighway Storm Water Discharges within the Connecticut and Merrimack River Watersheds (continued)
Figure 1: “Simple Method” Step 1 – Calculate Runoff Volume Coefficient
Rv = Runoff Volume Coefficient = 0.05 + 0.9Ia, where
Ia = Impervious fraction (from GIS analysis)
Step 2 – Calculate Annual Runoff Volume
R = Annual runoff (acre*ft) = P * Pj * Rv*A, where
P = Annual rainfall (ft) Pj = Fraction of rainfall events producing runoff = 0.9 A = Watershed area (acres) Step 3 – Calculate Annual Pollutant Load
L = Annual pollutant load (lbs) = R * C * U *A, where
C = Pollutant concentration in stormwater, EMC (mg/l) from
literature U = Unit conversion factor = 0.226 A = Area (acres). 2.0
Impervious Cover
To calculate watershed impervious cover, the Massachusetts portion of the Merrimack and
Connecticut River megabasins were digitally intersected with the Massachusetts land cover
layer, and the area of each land use category calculated. Watershed impervious percentage was
then calculated based on the assumed impervious percentages for each land use as shown in
Table 1. The assumed percentage of impervious cover for each land use was derived using
recommended percentages from TR-55, Urban Hydrology for Small Watersheds (USDA,
1986).

Storm Water Volume Analysis
In assessing the potential impact of stormwater runoff from MassHighway roads to these rivers,
the average annual storm water contribution from MassHighway roads in the Merrimack and
Connecticut River megabasins was estimated using the Simple Method described above. Land
use values within each of the watersheds within Massachusetts were obtained from MassGIS
data. Table 3 summarizes this analysis.

•
MassHighway road areas were obtained from MassHighway GIS shapefiles and include all
MassHighway roads within the watershed regardless of whether they are within urbanized area zones.
Each area was calculated from the surface width plus the shoulder widths to determine an overall
impervious width, multiplied by the length.
•
Average annual precipitation was obtained from WorldClimate.com. Lawrence station was used for
Merrimack River and Springfield station for the Connecticut River. Average annual runoff values were
obtained from Water Atlas of the United States published by Water Information Center in 1973.
•
MA portion of watershed includes only the portion of the watershed within Massachusetts.
•
Connecticut mega-basin includes Connecticut, Chicopee, Westfield and Millers rivers.
•
Merrimack mega-basin includes Merrimack, Nashua, Concord and Shawsheen rivers.
Although this analysis is a rough estimate, it indicates the order of magnitude of
MassHighway’s storm water runoff volume relative to the total runoff experienced from each
watershed. The analysis only includes storm water runoff and does not account for
groundwater base flow or point source discharges within the river which provides further
dilution of the storm water from MassHighway roads. The analysis indicates that the estimated
storm water runoff from MassHighway roads is a very small fraction of the storm water volume
received by the rivers each year.

Pollutant Load Analysis
The average annual pollutant loading from MassHighway roads versus the loading from the other
land uses in each of the watersheds was estimated using the Simple Method. The method uses
EMC to determine the pollutant loading per acre of watershed.

Attachment A. Analysis of MassHighway Storm Water Discharges within the
Connecticut and Merrimack River Watersheds (continued)
4.1
Event Mean Concentrations (EMC)
EMCs represent the average concentration of the pollutant during an entire stormwater
runoff event. EMCs are empirically derived from large stormwater data sets compiled
by the Nationwide Urban Runoff Program, the US. Geological Survey, and the EPA
NDPES Phase I stormwater program (Schueler, 2003). EMC estimates were selected
because they are based on field data collected from thousands of storm events. Hoever,
these estimates are based on nationwide data, so they do not account for regional
variation in soil types, climate, and other factors. Thus, EMCs applied to Massachusetts
watersheds should be considered to be screening-level estimates. EMC values are
provided in the Impacts of Impervious Cover document (Schueler, 2003) for a variety of
constituents including:

Assumptions and Limitations
Watershed impervious cover/EMC can be employed to estimate annual pollutant loading. This method includes the following limitations and limiting assumptions: • This method does not account for point source pollutant loadings.
• EMCs will provide reasonable accuracy over long time periods (i.e., annual loads),
but since concentrations vary significantly from storm to storm, this method should
not be used for calculating loads for individual storm events. The event mean
concentrations are based on countrywide data and do not account for regional
variation in soil types, climate and other factors.
• This method does not account for in-stream water quality processes.
• This method does not account for existing water quality BMPs or natural treatment
prior to reaching the river. This is especially prevalent in the MassHighway road
pollutant loadings since the model estimates the pollutant loading as if the impervious
acreage is directly discharged to the river.

Unaccounted for Treatment Factors
This analysis does not account for the many water quality treatment BMPs that mitigate
the pollutant loading from MassHighway roads or the fact that a significant portion of
the MassHighway roads do not directly discharge to receiving waters. A significant
percentage of the storm water conveyance system along the linear roads is comprised of
country drainage (i.e. overland flow and swales). Runoff from these roads typically
infiltrates into the ground as it travels long distances in vegetated swales or over
vegetated buffers. Only a small fraction of this runoff from these roads (e.g., I-91
within the Connecticut River Basin) ever reaches a receiving tributary.
Furthermore, MassHighway’s Notice of Intent (NOI), submitted as part of applying for
coverage under the NPDES Phase II MS4 General Permit, includes many programs
which will provide treatment or source controls for the roads discharging to the
Connecticut and Merrimack Rivers.

Since MassHighway has not completed a drainage outfall inventory outside of the Lower Charles River
area, MassHighway has instead summarized in Table A (Appendix A) the miles of urbanized area
roadway within a receiving waterbody’s watershed. The table and associated figures indicate the
MassHighway urbanized area road miles within each of the major watersheds in Massachusetts. The
information is then broken down further to summarize the data by sub-basin including the number of
outfalls (if known), MassHighway urbanized area road miles, the water bodies within the sub-basin, if the
waterbodies are impaired, and the impairment. As MassHighway completes an inventory of the outfalls in
a certain district, we will update Table A to include the number of outfalls identified in each sub-basin.
The updated table will be included in future SWMP submittal and annual reports.

Subject:
MassHighway NPDES MS4 Permit Outfall Within Short Nose Sturgeon Habitat
Dear Ms. Crocker:
The National Pollutant Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit for Discharges from Small
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) requires that permit applicant review the potential
impact of drainage system outfalls on federal threatened and endangered species habitat. We are writing
to request your review ofMassHighway urbanized area roads within the Connecticut River watershed.
The main stem of the Connecticut River and select tributaries have been identified as potential habitat for
short-nose sturgeon according to Addendum A of the NPDES General Permit.
MassHighway has submitted an application for coverage under this MS4 permit to EPA and is awaiting
authorization. In the Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) prepared as part of the submittal,
MassHighway stated that they would review urbanized area roads with National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) to determine if known storm water outfalls from their roadways are potentially having an
adverse impact to short-nose sturgeon habitat. Outfalls are eligible for coverage under this permit if the
discharges or discharge related activities are not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any
species that are listed as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) or result in
the adverse modification or destruction of habitat that is designated as critical under the ESA.
MassHighway has begun to inventory stormwater outfalls along these roads but, due to the large number
of urbanized area road miles owned by MassHighway, will not complete the statewide inventory until the
end of the permit term (March 2008). Therefore, we have included with this memo a detailed map with
MassHighway roads within areas classified as "urbanized" by the Census Bureau and the Connecticut
River watershed and the Merrimack River watershed below the Lawrence Dam. We ask that you review
the figures and let us know if there are any specific outfalls that are adversely impacting the short-nose
sturgeon. If MassHighway can provide additional information for help in the review, please feel free to
contact me at (617) 973-7419, or in writing to 10 Park Plaza, Room 4260, Boston, MA 02116.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Barbaro,
This is in response to your letter dated August 16, 2006 regarding an application by MassHighway for
coverage under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program for
urbanized area road drainage system outfalls. In order to be eligible for coverage under this permit,
MassHighway m~st demonstrate to the US Environmental Protection Agency that the discharges are not
adversely affecting any species listed as threatened or endangered under the jurisdiction of NOAA's
National Marine Fisheries Service.
Included with your letter were maps detailing the location of roads within urbanized areas in the
Connecticut River and Merrimack River watersheds. Populations of the endangered shortnose sturgeon
(Acipenser brevirostrum) occur in the mainstem ofboth rivers. Your letter requested that NMFS review
the maps and indicate which outfalls may be adversely impacting shortnose sturgeon in these rivers. In
order to determine whether discharges from any of these outfalls have the potential to adversely affect
this species NMFS will need the following information:
•
•
•
•
exact location of the discharge and distance from the mainstem river;
volume of water discharged from the outfall;
components of the discharge, including known concentrations of any pollutants; and,
any mitigation measures in place at the outfall.
Wirhoui this information it is difficult to determine if any given outfall has the potential to adversely
affect shortnose sturgeon in the Connecticut or Merrimack River. Should you have any questions
regarding this correspondence, please contact Julie Crocker of my staff at (978)281-9300 x6530 or bye­
mail (.Julic.Crod-:cNinnaG.gO\ ).

Dear Mr. Barbaro:
This responds to your recent corresponoence r~"questiPg inf::>nnBtion reg~rding adverse impacts to
dwarf wedgemussels at stormwater outfalls along urbanized area roads owned by Mass Highway
within the Connecticut River watershed area.
Based on information currently available to us, no dwarf wedgemussels are known to occur in
close proximity to the urbanized roads referenced above. However, there is an historic record for
dwarfwedgemussel in the Mill River Diversion, downstream of Easthampton Road. The reason
for the lack of persistence of the dwarf wedgemussel at this site is unknown.
Thank you for your coordination. Please contact us at 603-223-2541 if we can be of further
assistance.
Sincerely yours,
~ltJ.~

MassHighway NPDES MS4 Permit Outfall Within Dwarf Wedge Mussel Habitat
Dear Mr. Amaral:
The National Pollutant Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit for Discharges from Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) requires that permit applicant review the potential impact of drainage system outfalls on federal threatened and endangered species habitat. We are writing to request your review ofMassHighway urbanized area roads within the Connecticut River watershed. The main stem of the Connecticut River and select tributaries have been identified as potential habitat for .the dwarf wedge mussel according to Addendum A of the NPDES General Permit. · MassHighway has submitted an application for coverage under this MS4 permit to EPA and is awaiting
authorization. In the Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) prepared as part of the submittal,
MassHighway stated that they would review urbanized area roads with United States Fish and Wildlife
Service (USFWS) to determine if storm water outfalls from their roadways are potentially having an
adverse impact to dwarf wedge mussel habitat. Outfalls are eligible for coverage under this permit ifthe
discharges or discharge related activities are not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any
species that are listed as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) or result in
· the adverse modification or destruction of habitat that is designated as critical under the ESA.
MassHighway has begun to inventory stormwater outfalls along these roads but, due to the large number of urbanized area road miles owned by MassHighway, will not complete the statewide inventory until the end of the permit term (Match 2008). Therefore, we have. included with this memo a detailed map with MassHighway roads within areas classified as "urbanized" by the Census Bureau and the Connecticut River watershed. We ask that you review the figures and let us know if there are any specific outfalls that
are adversely impacting the dwarf wedge mussel. If MassHighway can provide additional information for help in the review, please feel free to contact me at (617) 973-7419, or in writing to 10 Park Plaza, Room 4260, Boston, MA 02116. )

MassHighway NPDES MS4 Permit Roads Near Historic Properties/ Districts
Dear Ms. Simon:
The NPDES General Permit for Discharges from Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s)
requires that permit applicants review the potential impact of drainage system outfalls on properties listed or
eligible to be listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
MassHighway has submitted an application for coverage under this permit to EPA and is awaiting
authorization. In the Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) prepared as part of the submittal,
MassHighway agreed to review urbanized area roads owned by MassHighway for any currently known
adverse effects on historic properties caused by storm water discharges from MassHighway-owned
roadways. Discharges, or implementation of a storm water management program, which adversely affects
properties listed or eligible to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places would eliminate such
discharges or programs for coverage under the MS4 General Permit.
MassHighway has begun to inventory existing storm water outfalls along these roads but, due to the large
number of urbanized area road miles owned by MassHighway, will not complete the statewide inventory
until the end of the permit term (March 2008). Therefore, we have included with this memo a CD which
contains detailed maps, by town, ofMassHighway roads within areas classified as "urbanized" by the Census
Bureau, overlaid with the historic properties datalayer provided by MassGIS (Massachusetts Office of
Geographic and Environmental Information). The detailed maps show all MassHighway roads in urbanized
areas that are located within 500 feet of any historic property identified by MassGIS.
To the best recollection ofMassHighway's senior Cultural Resources Unit staff (20+ years) storm water
discharge from a MassHighway roadway has never been identified as having an adverse effect on a property
listed, or eligible for listing, in the National Register. If you or your staffcould review the enclosed CD and
confirm MassHighway's opinion that there are, at present, no known storm water discharges from the shown
MassHighway roadways causing adverse effects on historic properties, it would be greatly appreciated. If we
can provide additional information for help in the review, please feel free to contact me at (617) 973-7419, or
in writing to 10 Park Plaza, Room 4260, Boston, MA 02116.

TMDL suggests MassHighway should regulate road sanding,

three ponds.
MassHighway regulates road sanding and salting through its
Snow and Ice Program and the procedures approved in the
GEIR. Roads are swept on an annual basis after winter deicing
applications. MassHighway will review projects within this
watershed for opportunities to include additional BMPs within
proposed projects if MassHighway determines they will help
address the pollutant loading issue. MassHighway believes that
the most cost-effective approach to improving stormwater
quality is to focus on source control measures, rather than end-ofpipe BMPs. Two important examples include reducing winter
road sand application rates, and stabilizing shoulder areas that
erode onto road surfaces. Source reduction measures are
described in this NPDES Stormwater Management Plan.

TMDL suggests MassHighway and towns should develop

should regulate road sanding, salting, regular sweeping, and
installation of BMPs for these two ponds. TMDL mentions that
Rt. 20 is within the watershed of the Loon Pond and Rt. 47 is
within the watershed of Lake Warner.
MassHighway has received authorization from EPA to discharge
storm water under the general permit for Loon Pond area. Lake
Warner, Hadley is outside of urbanized area and is therefore not
subject to the general permit. MassHighway regulates road
sanding and salting through its Snow and Ice Program and the
procedures approved in the GEIR. Roads are swept on an annual
basis after winter deicing applications. MassHighway will
review projects within this watershed for opportunities to

1. MassHighway conduct loading study and develop
methodology to calculate loadings from highways.
How is MassHighway currently meeting these
recommendations or how does MassHighway plan to meet

USGS is currently performing a loading study for MassHighway.
2. MassHighway and local towns should initiate twice yearly
sweeping and catch basin inspection and cleaning program
along MassHighway I-395, and other roadways.
MassHighway has proposed a catchbasin inspection and
maintenance record system in its SWMP (BMP 6C-4).
MassHighway has very limited maintenance budgets and staff,
therefore we feel that the cost-effectiveness, and necessity of
cleaning catch basins twice per year should be closely evaluated
rather than arbitrarily set. Consequently, MH has begun a CB
Accumulation Study (BMP 6C-3) to review the accumulation
trends in catchbasins. The study includes review of
accumulation data in five different roadway and winter deicing
areas for three years. Upon completion of the review, MH will
update that Catch Basin Cleaning SOP, if determined necessary,
and implement the SOP.
3. MS4s should install additional BMPs as needed to address
pollutant loadings identified above.
MassHighway will review projects within this watershed for
opportunities to include additional BMPs within proposed
projects if MassHighway determines they will help address the
pollutant loading issue. MassHighway believes that the most
cost-effective approach to improving stormwater quality is to

4. MassHighway and the towns of Charlton, Leicester and
Oxford should prepare Storm Water Management Plans for
Phase II. (implementation activity specific to these impaired
waterbodies)
MassHighway has received partial authorization to discharge
under the general permit (authorized for those discharges
outside of endangered species habitat) and expects to receive full
authorization in the near future since favorable responses have
been received from both USFWS and NMFS.

It was noted at the public meeting that MassHighway will be see above
required to comply with a new Phase II Stormwater discharge
permit. In addition, the Regional DEP office in Worcester has
submitted a written request to the Regional office of

3. The regional office of MassHighway has offered to target
high priority watersheds in the region of higher frequency of
BMPs and maintenance.
MassHighway District 3 will review projects within this
watershed for opportunities to include additional BMPs within
proposed projects if MassHighway determines they will help
address the pollutant loading issue. District 3 has agreed to
increased maintenance schedule within this watershed.
4. Visually inspect the roads monthly and sweep as needed. At
a minimum, roads must be swept at least twice a year as soon
after snowmelt as possible or by April 1st of each year and
again in the fall.
In a letter written to DEP and dated June 19, 2002, District 3
committed to an increased schedule of inspection of catch basins
every six months, with cleaning as determined necessary in
inspections, and annual sweeping of roads in this watershed.
Also, MH has begun a CB Accumulation Study (BMP 6C-3) to
review the accumulation trends in catchbasins. The study
includes review of accumulation data in five different roadway
and winter deicing areas for three years. Upon completion of the
review, MH will update that Catch Basin Cleaning SOP, if
determined necessary, and implement the SOP.
5. Inspect catch basins at least twice a year and any other
settling or detention basins once a year to measure depth of
solids. If solids are one half or more of design volume for
solids, then completely remove all solids.
See response above (#4) regarding maintenance schedule
commitments. The letter committed to inspection and cleaning,
if necessary of all sumped drainage structures twice a year and
more often if necessary; inspection/ cleaning of drainage outlet
locations where sediment build up is evident; and inspection and
repair of damaged and/or clogged drainage conveyances.
6. Inspect and maintain all structural components of

TMDL suggests that MassHighway should regulate road
sanding, salting, regular sweeping, and installation of BMPs
(for these impaired waterbodies).
MassHighway regulates road sanding and salting through its
Snow and Ice Program and the procedures approved in the
GEIR. Roads are swept on an annual basis after winter deicing
applications. MassHighway District 3 recently completed
roadway reconstruction project located in the City of Worcester
on Airport Drive. Runoff from this area enters waterways south
of Smith Pond and north of Curtis Pond, in the City of
Worcester. This project included a significant amount of
drainage infrastructure work including three detention ponds
(42,200 sq. ft. total area); 30 deep sump CBs with hoods; 1,500
linear feet of stone line drainage swales; and 1,000 linear feet of
grass lined drainage swales.

TMDL indicates that:
1. MassHighway should develop methodology to calculate
loadings from highways and conduct pilot projects to assess
loadings and test BMPs on highways.
USGS is currently performing a loading study for MassHighway.
The loading study is scheduled to be completed by the end of the
permit term.

2. MassHighway and town or city Dept. Public Works should
reduce impervious surfaces, institute more frequent street
sweeping and catch basin cleaning, install detention basins,
dredge and maintain storm water detention basins, etc.
MassHighway has committed to DEP in its January 23, 2002
letter that streets will be swept at least once a year (usually in
spring) and more often if necessary. All sumped drainage
structure will be inspected and cleaned, if necessary, twice a year
and more often if necessary. MassHighway will inspect/ clean
drainage outlet locations where sediment build-up is evident.
MassHighway will inspect and repair damaged and/ or clogged
drainage conveyances.
