Massachusetts Funding Cuts Will Lead to Loss of Critical Streamflow Information

In response to recent budget reductions for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for fiscal year 2011, the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) will be reducing their support for the USGS streamgaging program in many basins across Massachusetts. As a result, 5 of the 75 streamgages funded by DCR in Massachusetts were discontinued on July 1, 2010.

If any Federal, State or local agencies are interested in providing additional funds to operate any of these stations, please contact: Wayne Sonntag, Director, Massachusetts-Rhode Island Water Science Center, at 508-490-5002 or by e-mail at wsonntag@usgs.gov or Gardner Bent at (508) 490-5041 or by e-mail at gbent@usgs.gov

Further detailed information on the loss of critical streamflow information is available in a Congressional Notification letter at: Notification MA streamgages 06.09.pdf
