The Watershed Protection Act (WsPA - 313 CMR 11.00 and MGL c.92A½) regulates land use and activities within the critical areas of the Quabbin Reservoir, Ware River and Wachusett Reservoir watersheds for the purpose of protecting the source supply of drinking water that is treated and distributed by the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority. This law is administered by the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), Division of Water Supply Protection (DWSP). WsPA applies only to specific towns in the DCR watershed system.Jurisdictional AreasThe Primary Protection Zone includes areas 0 to 400 feet from the reservoir, and 0 to 200 feet from WsPA regulated tributaries. The Secondary Protection Zone includes: areas 200 to 400 feet from WsPA regulated tributaries; floodplains, bordering vegetated wetlands; high, medium and low yield aquifers. Aquifers are included only in the Wachusett Reservoir watershed. Please be aware that if there is a discrepancy between the location of the tributary on the map and the location in the field, the field location will be used.Regulatory UpdatesWsPA regulations were revised in 2017. The revision did not create any new WsPA regulated areas; the original maps specified by MGL ch. 92A½ s.5(m) are still the source of the hydrology data (tributaries, aquifers and bordering vegetated wetlands) that determines the regulated areas. In order to adopt new hydrology maps, DWSP must follow the provisions of CMR 11.07(4).Areas of Regulation May Not Be ShownThe exact placement of the WsPA buffers on an affected lot will be determined by field verification. Many bordering vegetated wetlands BVWs) are shown on this map, however others may exist that are not displayed which are identified through local Conservation Commission and/or Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection Wetlands Protection Act jurisdiction. If BVWs are found on your property, but are not shown on this viewer, then DCR recommends that you request a Watershed Determination or Advisory Ruling as to the effect of the WsPA on any construction proposal or alteration. Depending on the activity, Low Yield Aquifers in the Wachusett Reservoir watershed may be regulated (313 CMR 11.04(3)(b)(1e)).WsPA may not be the only law that applies to your lot!Property may be outside of the WsPA regulated zones, but still subject to other state, federal and local laws. DCR-DWSP has general rules and regulations that prohibit any activity that degrades the metropolitan water supply without regard to whether the activity takes place within a regulated area (see 313 CMR 11.09).Contact InformationIt is the responsibility of the land owner to be in compliance with the Watershed Protection Act. You are encouraged to contact the Department of Conservation and Recreation if you intend to build on or otherwise alter a piece of property in the watershed system.

In undertaking this data collection, the principal investigators sought to determine (1) whether police enforcement against drug crimes, specifically heroin crimes, had any influence on the rates of nondrug crimes, and (2) what effect intensive law enforcement programs against drug dealers had on residents where those programs were operating. To achieve these objectives, data on crime rates for seven successive years were collected from police records of 30 cities in Massachusetts. Data were collected for the following offenses: murder, rape, robbery, assault, larceny, and automobile theft. The investigators also interviewed a sample of residents from 3 of those 30 cities. Residents were queried about their opinions of the most serious problem facing people today, their degree of concern about being victims of crime, and their opinions of the effectiveness of law enforcement agencies in handling drug problems.
