Potential effects of structural controls and street sweeping on stormwater loads to the lower Charles River, Massachusetts Potential effects of structural controls and street sweeping on stormwater loads to the lower Charles River, Massachusetts
The water quality of the lower Charles River is periodically impaired by combined sewer overflows (CSOs) and non-CSO stormwater runoff. This study examined the potential non-CSO load reductions of suspended solids, fecal coliform bacteria, total phosphorus, and total lead that could reasonably be achieved by implementation of stormwater best management practices, including both...

Distribution and potential for adverse biological effects of inorganic elements and organic compounds in bottom sediment, lower Charles River, Massachusetts Distribution and potential for adverse biological effects of inorganic elements and organic compounds in bottom sediment, lower Charles River, Massachusetts
Surficial-sediment samples and cores collected from the lower Charles River Basin are generally enriched in inorganic elements and organic compounds, including polychlorinated byphenyls, total organochlorine pesticides, and polyaromatic hydrocarbons. Median concentrations of selected inorganic elements and organic compounds measured in surficial-sediment samples collected from the lower...

Hydrologic indices for nontidal wetlands Hydrologic indices for nontidal wetlands
Two sets of hydrologic indices were developed to characterize the water-budget components of nontidal wetlands. The first set consisted of six water-budget indices for input and output variables, and the second set consisted of two hydrologic interaction indices derived from the water-budget indices. The indices then were applied to 19 wetlands with previously published water-budget data...
