Commonwealth Issues Drought Advisory
October 13, 2007 - A kayaker passes rocks along Indian Brook south of the Hopkinton Reservoir. The dark parts of the rocks are normally under water. The Town of Ashland's wells are adjacent to the Hopkinton Reservoir which is currently dangerously low. Southborough will be selling water to the Town of Ashland if the reservoir continues to drop. Stepped-Up Monitoring of Water Resources Covers Four Regions of the Bay State BOSTON, MA – Following two months of unusually dry weather in most of the state, the Massachusetts Drought Management Task Force has issued a Drought Advisory in four of the Commonwealth’s six water resources management regions. The Advisory covers all of Massachusetts except for Cape Cod and the Islands and Berkshire County, and calls on state, regional and local officials to be vigilant, especially concerning fire danger and water supply for firefighting. Issuance of the Drought Advisory came at the Wednesday, October 10th meeting of the Task Force at the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) headquarters in Framingham. The second of five levels of drought conditions outlined in the Massachusetts Drought Management Plan (Normal, Advisory, Watch, Warning and Emergency), an Advisory indicates a level of dry conditions that warrants closer tracking by agencies at all levels of government. Of particular concern is fire danger in the coming weeks, when fallen leaves will provide abundant fuel and dry soil conditions can allow fire to burn deep and spread rapidly to large areas. Although fall and winter months are not peak water use periods, they are typically the time when reservoirs and groundwater are recharged. Continued dry weather could lead to more serious drought conditions when warmer weather and increased water use resume in the spring. Task Force officials noted that, while some smaller reservoir systems in Drought Advisory areas are low for this time of year, the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) supply system is well within normal operating range. Some other public water suppliers have issued conservation measures in response to the dry conditions. While the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EOEEA) and its agencies encourage people to conserve water as a matter of good practice, today’s Drought Advisory does not require any additional conservation measures on the part of the public or water supply managers beyond those already in place. Citizens are asked to abide by water restrictions imposed by their public water supplier. The Drought Advisory requires the Drought Management Task Force to begin meeting on a regular basis to more closely assess conditions across the state, coordinate dissemination of information to the public, and help state, federal and local agencies coordinate any responses that may be needed in the future. The Task Force will meet monthly, with the next meeting in November. The state’s rainfall has declined steadily since July, with cumulative precipitation deficits of up to 4 inches below normal for the months of August and September. October rainfall to date is also below normal. Stream flow is extremely deficient in many areas of the state, even for this time of year when seasonally low stream flow is expected. Ground water levels have also declined, although these are slower to respond than stream flow to the rainfall deficit. So far this year, 78 municipalities have informed the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) that they have instituted outdoor water use restrictions to conserve water. Last year, DEP received notification of water bans from just 25 communities. The Drought Advisory is based on thresholds contained in the Massachusetts Drought Management Plan, a blueprint developed by the Drought Task Force to guide state activities in response to droughts and extended periods of dry weather. The Massachusetts Drought Management Task Force comprises representatives of MEMA, EOEEA, DEP, Department of Conservation and Recreation, Department of Fish and Game, Department of Agricultural Resources, Department of Public Health, MWRA, U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Weather Service, Massachusetts Water Works Association, and the Massachusetts Association of Health Boards. The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) is the state agency responsible for coordinating federal, state, local, voluntary and private resources during emergencies and disasters in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. MEMA provides leadership to: develop plans for effective response to all hazards, disasters or threats; train emergency personnel to protect the public; provide information to the citizenry; and assist individuals, families, businesses and communities to mitigate against, prepare for, and respond to and recover from emergencies, both natural and man made. For additional information about MEMA go to the MEMA website at www.mass.gov/mema.

THE MASSACHUSETTS ANIMAL COALITION AWARDS GRANT TO COMMONWEALTH CATS Westborough, MA, October 8, 2007 --- The Massachusetts Animal Coalition (MAC) recently announced that it has awarded Commonwealth Cats $5,000 to help the non-profit group further the efforts of its spay/neuter and vaccination program for feral and un-owned cats. The Peabody-based organization is one of 21 Massachusetts animal groups and municipal animal control departments to receive more than $100,000 from MAC in 2007. Founded in 2004, Commonwealth Cats is dedicated to reducing the number and suffering of homeless cats in Massachusetts by providing humane sterilization and veterinary services. The organization relies on the pro bono services of veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and others to contribute their time and skills to help some of Massachusetts’s neediest cats. To date, this all-volunteer organization has held 19 spay and neuter clinics throughout Massachusetts, and has provided care to 760 cats. The MAC grant monies were raised through sales generated by the “I’m Animal Friendly” license plate program that was launched in 2004. Since then, more than 5,600 of our license plates have been sold and the number keeps growing. Funds received from the sales of these plates are dispersed annually to non-profit organizations and municipalities to provide spaying and neutering services to dogs and cats. Since 2004, $350,000 has been granted to organizations for this purpose. Since Commonwealth Cats is funded primarily by donations, the MAC grant money will enable them to help a greater number of feral cats by allowing them to purchase more surgical equipment and supplies for their spay/neuter clinics. This in turn will allow them to have more clinics, thus providing more services for cats who would not otherwise receive veterinary care. Their next spay/neuter clinic will be held on October 28th in Brockton at the MSPCA Metro South Animal Care and Adoption Center. For more information, please visit their website at www.commonwealthcats.org. Founded in 2000, The Massachusetts Animal Coalition (MAC) is a statewide, not-for-profit organization comprised of animal professionals and individual volunteers dedicated to working together to decrease the number of homeless, neglected, displaced, and abused animals in Massachusetts. To accomplish this goal, MAC works at promoting collaboration and respect, improving on-going education programs, and encouraging responsible and humane animal care. For more
information on MAC, please visit our website at:
www.massanimalcoalition.org. If you are interested in purchasing
an “I’m Animal Friendly” license plate, please visit any full-service
Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles branch or order a license plate
online at http://www.mass.gov/rmv/express/mac.htm.
