Watershed Association
Annual Report
2008
From the President & Executive Director
We’ve had a truly remarkable year. This Annual Report tells of several significant achievements, each the culmination
of years of effort, leading to fundamental changes in local, state, and federal water policy. The breadth and depth of
our knowledge of the Charles River watershed continues to grow, and our work with sister organizations outside the
watershed is helping them replicate much of our work. Our superb and dedicated staff is the key to our success.
Our Green Streets/Blue Cities efforts in Allston-Brighton with Harvard University on water design principles for its
new campus, and with Boston on the redevelopment of Peabody Square in Dorchester, are new approaches to engineering rainwater systems in urban areas. Our objective is to make rainwater work much as it would have before we
built our cities and towns, and in so doing curb polluted runoff, infiltrate water back into the ground, and clean and
restore our tributaries and the Charles while sustaining water supplies. We have published a manual outlining and
illustrating the methods and principles we’ve developed entitled Building Blue Cities: Environmentally Sensitive Urban
Development, with funding from the Boston Foundation.
In partnership with the Mystic River Watershed Association, we completed extensive surveys of the Charles and Mystic Rivers, leading to further reductions in pollution to both rivers, a guidebook on conducting such surveys, and policy
change on the discharge of sewage from boats to the Lower Charles and Boston Harbor.
Most significantly, after years of investigation and computer modeling, and of meetings in partnership with Conservation Law Foundation, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) New England, and the Massachusetts
Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), EPA and DEP have designated existing industrial, commercial, and
institutional properties for new stormwater permits: all properties with two acres or more of paved and constructed
surfaces in the Charles River watershed, and five acres or more statewide. Over time, owners of those properties will
be required to reduce their phosphorus-polluted runoff in the watershed by 65 percent. Consequently, for the first
time in the nation under the Clean Water Act, individual property owners will be held accountable for their heavily
polluted stormwater runoff. Equally important, the regulation will require the use of green solutions, capturing runoff,
cleaning it, and infiltrating it into the ground. This seminal shift in the way water is regulated will restore river flow,
improve water quality, reduce flooding and help protect against drought. It is the first stage in re-engineering our cities
and towns to make them work more naturally with water.
Of course, much remains to be done. Any shift in policy and regulation of this magnitude will be controversial, and
the complexities of making the new regulation work well need to be carefully considered and demonstrated. CRWA
has already started that work in partnership with the regulatory agencies. The shift itself, however, is worthy of real
celebration.
We are extremely grateful for your support, which has made possible
our very productive year. And so far, we are weathering the economic
storm. But we have lots of work ahead, transformational work, that
will require your continued help.
Thanks,
Robert L. Zimmerman, Jr.

Table of Contents
2008 marked major steps in CRWA’s efforts
to clean up the Charles River. In November,
both the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Massachusetts Department
of Environmental Protection announced important new regulatory programs designed to
address the largest remaining source of pollution to the river: stormwater runoff from large
paved areas.
CRWA
The new programs - the first of their kind - have
attracted national attention, indicating significant positive changes in stormwater management and river cleanup. Unlike most regulations which apply only to new development, these will
require existing large properties, such as shopping malls, to start cleaning up their stormwater pollution. Scientific analysis has clearly shown that we cannot meet water quality standards in the Charles
River if the existing sources of pollution are not cleaned up.
The new regulations are the fruit of more than four years’ collaboration between CRWA and the
Conservation Law Foundation to develop the science, analyze the law, and advocate for the agencies
to take this important step. CRWA has already begun work with the agencies, and several municipalities, to implement the new requirements.
Massachusetts Highway Department Forced to Control Roadway Pollution
MassHighway will be required to control pollution from its 2,500 miles of roadways and bridges,
thanks to a landmark court case won by Conservation Law Foundation in partnership with
CRWA. The federal district court found MassHighway in violation of the Clean Water Act, and
ruled that it must clean up stormwater runoff, which pours nutrients, toxic metals, oil and grease,
salt, and sand directly into rivers and streams when it rains. This ruling gives MassHighway two
years to adopt a more effective stormwater pollution management plan, and requires it to deal immediately with three polluted areas, including two in the upper Charles River watershed.

The“Find It and Fix It” stormwater assessment program, a collaborative effort between CRWA and the
Mystic River Watershed Association with funding
from the Massachusetts Environmental Trust, concluded its third and final year in 2008.

Accomplishments include:
• Collaboration to designate Boston Harbor and the
Lower Charles River Basin as the nation’s largest urban No Discharge Area (in which boats are prohibited from dumping raw or partially-treated sewage)
• Monitoring and assessment work that led the U.S.
EPA to require local communities to investigate
and respond to elevated bacteria concentrations,

• Wet and dry weather water quality monitoring along the Charles and ten of its tributaries.

Draft TMDL Development for Upper/Middle Charles
Using water quality monitoring and modeling, CRWA is close to completing a nutrient Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for phosphorus in the Upper/Middle Charles River, with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection and the U.S. EPA. The phosphorus TMDL
determines the maximum amount of this pollutant
that the river can tolerate and still meet water quality or aesthetic standards. Excessive phosphorus from
human sources (like human/animal waste, fertilizer,
detergents and car exhaust) currently contributes to
extremely high levels of algae and aquatic weeds in the
Charles. Because about two-thirds of the total annual
phosphorus load comes from stormwater, the TMDL
has sharply focused attention on this issue. The result
is comprehensive new stormwater permits for Massachusetts (see page 2). A final implementation plan
will develop the regulatory process to achieve TMDL
loads that will yield a cleaner, more useable river.

Stormwater Assessment Throughout Watershed
CRWA Annual Report 2008

In March 2008, CRWA concluded its Environmentally Sensitive Urban Development Project, a three
year effort to research and evaluate ways to integrate urban watershed restoration into redevelopment.
Focusing on North Allston, Zakim North and the Longwood Medical and Academic Area, CRWA
set out to develop concrete plans to restore natural hydrology, identify “green infrastructure” opportunities, increase vegetation at a range of scales,
and improve the pedestrian environment.
The work culminated in CRWA’s Blue Cities
Guide, which presents a cohesive framework
for urban watershed restoration, from the assessment of existing conditions, through development of a public participation process, to the
production of a schematic design. While every
location has site-specific needs and potential,
the Guide offers a broadly applicable analytical
framework, along with recommendations for
advocacy. The Guide serves as a model for retrofitting urban areas in general, taking lessons learned in
the Charles watershed to the national scale and beyond.
Thanks to CRWA’s partnership with
the City of Boston, the first model
for street-greening retrofits in the city
will be in Peabody Square, Dorchester.
Working with the Boston Transportation Department, the Department of
Public Works, and its consultant, Nitsch
Engineering Inc., CRWA is integrating
Best Management Practices (BMPs)
like porous pavers, a rain garden, and
stormwater planters into the redesign
for Peabody Square. The design will be
completed this spring, followed by con- Proposed “greening” of Peabody Square in Dorchester

Pilot Green Street Project at Peabody Square
Publication of Green Streets Guide
CRWA created the Green Streets Guide for Allston-Brighton with a dual purpose: to help Allston
Brighton Green Space Advocates promote neighborhood green street retrofits, and to encourage the
City of Boston to incorporate these design considerations into area street improvements. The Green
Streets Guide has served as a reference for the Boston Redevelopment Authority’s Community-Wide
Plan for North Allston-Brighton (under development), and Harvard University’s Institutional Master Plan for the new campus. Public outreach and planning for the Green Streets Guide spurred a
number of “greening” projects led by local green space advocates and residents along Everett Street.

In the latest version of its Institutional Master
Plan (IMP) for the new Allston campus expansion, Harvard University has incorporated
many of CRWA’s recommendations to make
this major development effort more waterfriendly and environmentally sensitive. Since
2005, CRWA has been working to incorporate
a greenway and green streets in the IMP, and
to focus attention on stormwater management
strategies; these concepts will mitigate pollution to the Charles.
Charles River Report Card Improves
For the first time in three years, the U.S. EPA has raised the Charles River’s “grade”: from B+ to
B++! The new grade, announced in April, shows a measurable result of our work to improve water
quality. Each year, the river’s grade is determined by the percentage of time that the Lower Basin
(from Watertown Dam to Boston Harbor) meets the state’s standards for bacterial pollution, an
analysis based primarily on data collected by CRWA staff and volunteers.
Water Budgets Applied to the Charles
The most important work that
CRWA has developed a comprehensive, consistent,
CRWA does in our community is
and detailed methodology to assess human impacts
to be an active voice and
on streamflow that can be applied to any watershed.
steward for the Charles.
This automated water budget program employs a
balance-sheet approach to account for water that
- Maria Rose, City of Newton
enters or leaves an area, and estimates the impact on
natural streamflow. Since 2006, CRWA has been under contract to the Executive Office of Environmental Affairs, working with the ESS Group to apply this methodology to small sub-basins in Massachusetts. Application to the Charles has enabled
us to produce color-coded impact maps that highlight the most seriously affected sub-basins in the
watershed. These maps will be extremely useful in planning efforts to fix problems and “balance”
the water cycle.
Using the Law to Protect Streamflow
Continuing our legal battle to protect streamflow,
CRWA went to the state Appeals Court to:
• Defend the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection’s requirement that water
conservation conditions be included in water
withdrawal permits; and
• Argue that mitigation was required when withdrawals exceed the safe yield, or carrying capacity, of a river basin.

Advocacy & Public Outreach
River & Watershed Education
Workshops, public meetings, festivals, presentations and
school demonstrations are a few of the ways CRWA reaches
out to share the complexities of our urban river.
Advocacy
CRWA develops and supports sound watershed management
policies and regulations, works with watershed partners and
coalitions, reviews and provides comment on specific development projects, and protects public access to the river.
