Riverways-FHBWI Stormwater Project Description

This project includes the use of a marketing consultant, professional landscaper and environmental engineer to interest residents in creating a model project within a neighborhood to control stormwater pollution.

Stream Flow

First Herring Brook Watershed Initiative volunteers led by Mary Ellen Schloss and Sandra Kelly, under the guidance of Riverways Program stream ecologists Margaret Kearns and Cindy Delpapa have been studying the flow characteristics of tributaries in the First Herring Brook watershed.

Watershed Neighbor

You are invited to participate in a pilot program for residents who live within important parts of Scituate's water supply watershed. It's called the "Watershed Neighbor Project" and is partially funded by a grant from the Riverways Program, part of the Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Scituate Water Study Committee

The Scituate Water Study Committee (WSC) was appointed by the Board of Selectmen in response to an article passed at the 2003 Annual Town Meeting. Members include Robert Ference, Shan Morrissey, Robert Murray, Mary Ellen Schloss and Lance Van Lenten (chair). Paul Reidy was the liaison from the Board of Selectmen and Al Bangert was the liaison from the Advisory Committee.
