Description: OverviewThese Surface Water Supply Protection Areas delineate those areas included in 310 CMR 22.00, the Massachusetts Drinking Water Regulations, as Surface Water Supply Protection Zones:ZONEA: represents a) the land area between the surface water source and the upper boundary of the bank; b) the land area within a 400 foot lateral distance from the upper boundary of the bank of a Class A surface water source, as defined in 314 CMR 4.05(3)(a); and c) the land area within a 200 foot lateral distance from the upper boundary of the bank of a tributary or associated surface water body.ZONEB: represents the land area within one-half mile of the upper boundary of the bank of a Class A surface water source, as defined in 314 CMR 4.05(3)(a), or edge of watershed, whichever is less. Zone B always includes the land area within a 400 ft lateral distance from the upper boundary of the bank of a Class A surface water source.ZONEC: represents the land area not designated as Zone A or B within the watershed of a Class A surface water source, as defined in 314 CMR 4.05(3)(a).All active and inactive surface water supplies have zones delineated, but some may be covered by other legislation. MassDEP protection Zones A, B, & C are in effect at MWRA sources and are subject to the protections in 310 CMR 22.00. MWRA has additional protections for their reservoirs that are included in the Massachusetts Watershed Protection Act, MGL 350 CMR 11.00. Watershed extents for all surface water supplies including active, inactive, emergency, sources outside of Massachusetts, watersheds that extend into other states and watersheds of sources from other states that extend into Massachusetts are included in the datalayer SWP Watersheds. Surface water intakes on Class B Rivers are not included in either datalayer. The reservoir features were taken from the DEP Wetlands 1:12,000 datalayer and removed from the Zone A and B features and added as a separate feature. For MassDEP's regulatory wording of these zones please see Water Supply Protection Area Definitions.This layer, named SWP_ZONES_POLY, replaces the now discontinued MassDEP ZONEA_POLY, ZONEB_POLY and ZONEC_POLY layers.MethodologyThose areas that contribute to public surface water supplies were originally taken from the USGS Drainage Sub Basins datalayer and overlaid with the 1:25,000 Hydrography datalayer to identify reservoirs and tributary streams. The reservoirs were extracted and buffered to produce Zone B’s, reservoirs and tributaries were extracted and buffered to produce Zone A’s, and sub basins were extracted to create Zone C’s. Starting in 2003, the DEP GIS Program began using the elevation control points and breaklines from the 1:5,000 Digital Orthophoto Project to create a digital elevation model of a surface water supply watershed, and using the ArcHydro Toolset developed by ESRI and the University of Texas GIS Water Resources Consortium delineated watersheds digitally.. These basins were then field checked by MassDEP Drinking Water Program staff and edits made when necessary. Additional streams were extracted from the DEP Wetlands 1:12,000 datalayer, added to the USGS 1:25,000 Hydrography datalayer and buffered to create extended Zone A’s. This work is ongoing and is about 35% complete, with watersheds prioritized by perceived accuracy or if threats to the watershed are identified, with work now progressing in Essex County. Please refer to the delineation type and date fields to see which watersheds have been processed. In addition to this in 2007 the reservoir polygons were extracted from the DEP Wetlands 1:12000 datalayer and used to modify the Zone A and B buffers, and were added to the USGS 1:25000 Hydrography datalayer to allow it to accurately align with the buffer zones. While many of the watersheds are based on USGS Drainage Sub Basins, no attempt has been made to align the existing sub basins with the terrain delineated watersheds and zones, including errors in major basin divides. The attributes relating to water supply zones in the existing USGS Drainage Sub Basins have been removed.
