  16. Title: MassGIS 2003 Massachusetts Interim Wellhead Protection Areas (March 2003)

    Contributors:

    Summary: This datalayer contains polygons representing Interim Wellhead Protection Areas (IWPA) for community and non-community water supply sources as defined by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection. Wellhead protection areas are important for protecting the recharge area around public water supply (PWS) wells. A Zone II is a wellhead protection area that has been determined by hydrogeologic modeling and approved by the Department of Environmental Protection's (DEP) Drinking Water Program (DWP). In cases where hydro-geologic modeling studies have not been performed and there is no approved Zone II, an Interim Wellhead Protection Area (IWPA) is established based on DEP DWP well pumping rates or default values. Certain land uses may be either prohibited or restricted in both approved (Zone II) and interim (IWPA) wellhead protection areas. In the absence of an approved Zone II, DEP has adopted the Interim Wellhead Protection Area (IWPA) as the primary, protected recharge area for PWS groundwater sources. For PWS sources that pump less than 100,000 gallons per day (GPD), the IWPA radius is proportional to the pumping rate in gallons per minute (GPM). Pumping rate is determined by DEP DWP based on one of the following methods, DWP approved pumping rate, metered data or Title 5 flow rate. The formula used for calculating the PWS well point buffer radius in feet is: Radius = ( 32 x pumping rate in GPM ) + 400 The minimum IWPA radius is 400 feet, the maximum (default) radius reached at 100,000 GPD (70 GPM) is 2,640 feet (1/2 mile). In instances where DWP pumping rate information is unavailable DWP approved default radius values are assigned based on PWS well classification. The default radius for community class PWS groundwater sources (GW) is 2,640 feet (804.6 meters). The default radius for non-community sources is 750 feet (228.6 meters) for Non Transient (NTNC) wells and 500 feet (152.4 meters) for Transient (TNC) wells. The DEP GIS Program currently [2003] maintains two statewide IWPA coverages (IWPA and IWPACOM) shared through MassGIS. Both are generated by buffering groundwater sources in the DEP Public Water Supply datalayer (PWS_DEP). The IWPA coverage contains variable width IWPA buffers for BOTH approved community and non-community groundwater sources in the DEP PWS datalayer which do not have an approved Zone II. The IWPACOM coverage contains IWPAs ONLY for community PWS sources which do not have an approved Zone II.

  18. Title: MassGIS 2003 Massachusetts Protected and Recreational Open Space (Region Polygons) (March 2003)

    Contributors:

    Summary: This protected and recreational open space datalayer contains polygon regions representing the boundaries of conservation lands and outdoor recreational facilities in Massachusetts. Regions are classified by site name so that multiple adjacent parcels with identical property names are grouped together as a site. This is useful for linking annotation and SCCRP information to sites. The region attribute table contains a subset of the fields in the polygon attribute table including SITE_NAME, SCORP_ID, FEE_OWNER, SYMOP1, and a field called REGION-ID used for linking to annotation. Conservation and outdoor recreation facilities owned by federal, state, county, municipal, and nonprofit enterprises are included in this datalayer. Privately owned lands with deeded restrictions are also included, as are lands in the Chapter 61 program. This datalayer can also be linked, through related tables, with the 1988 Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) inventory, with facilities and activities data for recreation sites. The datalayer is paneled into 351 town coverages and significant updates are ongoing. This update effort, coordinated by MassGIS, uses volunteers from state environmental agencies, regional planning commissions, local watershed associations, town conservation commissions, municipal planning and engineering departments, local and regional nonprofits, and open space plan committees. Although the initial data collection effort for this data layer has been completed, open space changes continually and this data layer is therefore considered to be under development. Additionally, due to the collaborative nature of this data collection effort, the accuracy and completeness of open space data varies across the state's municipalities. Attributes, while comprehensive in scope, may be incomplete for many parcels. The following types of land are included in this datalayer: Conservation land - habitat protection with minimal recreation, such as walking trails Recreation land - outdoor facilities such as town parks, commons, playing fields, school fields, golf courses, bike paths, scout camps, and fish and game clubs. These may be privately or publicly owned facilities. Town forests Parkways - green buffers along roads, if they are a recognized conservation resource Agricultural land - land protected under an Agricultural Preservation Restriction (APR) and administered by the state Department of Food and Agriculture (DFA) Aquifer protection land - not zoning overlay districts Watershed protection land - not zoning overlay districts Cemeteries - if they are a recognized conservation or recreation resource Also included for some towns are lands in the Chapter 61 program (61 = Forestry; 61A = Agriculture; 61B = Recreation). These parcel boundaries are not currently available state-wide, and may not be maintained over time, but can be useful for municipal planning purposes.

  20. Title: MassGIS 2003 Massachusetts Approved Wellhead Protection Areas (Zone II) (Polygons) (March 2003)

    Contributors:

    Summary: This datalayer contains polygons representing approved Wellhead Protection (Zone II) Areas for the state of Massachusetts as defined by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). Wellhead protection areas are important for protecting the recharge area around public water supply (PWS) wells. A Zone II is a wellhead protection area that has been determined by hydrogeologic modeling and approved by the Department of Environmental Protection's (DEP) Drinking Water Program (DWP). In cases where hydro-geologic modeling studies have not been performed and there is no approved Zone II, an Interim Wellhead Protection Area (IWPA) is established based on DEP DWP well pumping rates or default values. Certain land uses may be either prohibited or restricted in both approved (Zone II) and interim (IWPA) wellhead protection areas. As stated in 310 CMR 22.02, a Zone II is: 'That area of an aquifer which contributes water to a well under the most severe pumping and recharge conditions that can be realistically anticipated (180 days of pumping at safe yield, with no recharge from precipitation). It is bounded by the groundwater divides which result from pumping the well and by the contact of the aquifer with less permeable materials such as till or bedrock. In some cases, streams or lakes may act as recharge boundaries. In all cases, Zone IIs shall extend up gradient to its point of intersection with prevailing hydrogeologic boundaries (a groundwater flow divide, a contact with till or bedrock , or a recharge boundary).' DEP Zone II and Public Water Supply (PWS) data are closely linked, and DEP Zone II data should be used in association with the DEP Public Water Supply datalayer (PWS_DEP). During the approval process each Zone II is assigned a unique ID (ZII-NUM) by DEP DWP. The DEP Public Water Supply and Zone II datalayers use the ZII-NUM to link protected PWS sources to their approved Zone II. Since some PWS sources within a Zone II may not have been used to delineate that Zone II, the ZII-NUM item can be used to identify the specific wells for which a Zone II was delineated. If the DEP Public Water Supply datalayer item ZII-NUM is equal to 0 than that PWS source has no Zone II and should therefore have an Interim Wellhead Protection Area (IWPA).
