We need to develop a BASELINE; to know how to proceed, and how to prove the success of our actions No new/continuing data on sediment accumulation Using feasibility maps from 1983 and 2006 to determine a new rate of sediment accumulation

“Reduce pollution from discrete sources" p.5  Must use green infrastructure while addressing CSOs p.8 Line areas of Morrissey Blvd. and University Dr. with vegetation. Decrease pollutants entering Savin Hill Cove, possibly sediments Street92nd-AvePortland/ _8zrQp/1/ _UUUJd/Large

Establish Performance Standards for Storm Water Discharge Morrissey Blvd. storm water drain empties into cove

Addressing Neponset River Impacts What is happening farther up the Neponset River? More vegetation along river How will the future of the Neponset River effect the cove?

"Rely on the rule of law and seek CREATIVE and more effective ways..." p.5 Students like us can benefit from future work in Savin Hill Cove Allow money for future EEOS student projects/classes in reoccurring dredging budget Turn to natural solutions by implementing vegetation along Savin Hill cove and Neponset salt marsh ecosystem in cove Pneumatic barriers

"Partner with states, tribes and LOCAL ENTITIES to agree upon priorities, integrate data, actions and resources, streamline workloads, and ensure joint strategies for success" p.5 Improve public understanding of impacts from dredging, sediment accumulation and poor water quality p.7 Involve students and professors from UMASS Involve the Savin Hill Yacht Club Involve MWRA

"Increase Protection of Healthy Waters" p.6 Savin Hill Cove will deteriorate if sediments, debris, and pollutants are allowed to accumulate unchecked m/2009/03/umass-boston.html
