Remediate fecal coliform bacteria sources in the Jones River (particularly its “Halls Brook” tributary) where either septic systems in the center of town near the brook and/or waterfowl in the wetlands contribute to elevated fecal coliform bacteria counts. Develop a monitoring plan and conduct bacteria sampling to evaluate effectiveness of point (sewering and Phase II stormwater permits) and non-point source pollution control activities and other actions and to assess the status of the Primary and Secondary Contact Recreational uses. Support DMF efforts to improve availability/access (electronic or web site) to water quality and biological monitoring data collected from DMF shellfish sampling stations to assess the status of the Primary and Secondary Contact Recreational uses. Support passage of the federally approved boat sewage No Discharge Area (NDA) for the entire Plymouth/Kingston/Duxbury Bay so the Bay is designated as an NDA by the 2006 boating season.

WMA water withdrawal Summary For information on water users, see WMA water withdrawal summary in the unnamed tributary to Eel River (Segment MA94-35). Additionally, there are approximately 103 acres of cranberry bog open space in this subwatershed, inclusive but not limited to WMA registered growers (UMass Amherst 1999). For the purpose of this report, a conservative estimate of water use for this bog area is approximately 0.92 MGD.
