MassPike
Massachusetts’ Turnpike Project
Update Mr. Michael Mazeika,
current Cedar Lake Association’s
Treasurer, has taken on the role
of Association’s contact with
the Massachusetts Turnpike
Project. Following is his
update:
-
Spillway repair (discussion
6/30/2006) consultant to be
hired by Pike by end of
July. CLA will be a
priority. I need to forward
pictures of any
contamination in the North
end of the lake to Mr. Rick
McCullough (Director of
Environmental Engineering)
for his files. I have some
pictures, but other input
would be appreciated.
-
The Massachusetts Turnpike
is getting pressure from
other environmental
organizations regarding
storm water runoff. There
are several “pilot test
projects” (storm drain
filtration systems) that I
am pushing to have CLA as a
primary test site. This is
where the letter to our
Congressman with multiple
signatures will help .
-
I have asked to be put on
mailing list this fall for
Pike grant money that is
available.
-
I consistently bring up the
long term goal of having the
Pike pay for the dredging of
the North end of the lake.
-
He mailed me the site for a
report on Massachusetts Year
2006 Integrated list of
waters report (clean water
act):
http://www.mass.gov/dep/water/resources/tmdle.htm.
I have pulled a copy and CLA
is categorized as a 4c
meaning we have water impact
issues, but nothing has been
done yet. Pages 1 - 34 and
page 183 as the
Massachusetts’ Turnpike
Project Update rest are
tables that do not apply.
Sections that do apply, page
10 - 12, Nonpoint Source
Program. Pages 20 - 24
describes the types of
problems and categories that
waterways were placed in.
