Hi Team,
Register now for next week's Green Drinks event, "Tracking Out-Of-Sight, Out-Of-Mind" with Daniel Hansche. Wildlife tracking has contributed significantly to our awareness of the species cohabitating in the Berkshires alongside our human population. Especially valuable to the conservation and management of the more nocturnal and crepuscular mammals, tracking allows us to identify or verify those species present on the landscape when they would otherwise be imperceptible. Behaviors and habits that would be virtually impossible to see become part of our everyday awareness. What information can you glean from your backyard or favorite conservation property that would otherwise remain out of sight and out of mind? Join BEAT online or in person at the Williams Inn on Wednesday, October 9. Learn more and register for the event here.
We would also like to invite you to the Berkshire Natural History Conference on Saturday, October 19, at Berkshire Community College! Doors open at 8:15, and BCC President Ellen Kennedy will welcome everyone at 9 a.m. There will be an excellent array of speakers, exhibitors, and activities, including the Natural History Quiz -- the winner of which will receive the first-ever Berkshire Natural History calendar featuring Mark Thorne’s incredible photos.
There are a couple of special things happening this year, including an impressive display of live specimens from the Caterpillar Lab, a keynote talk and plant display by Dr. Jerry Jenkins, who is a Berkshire Community College alum, author, photographer, and a champion of Northern Forest ecological communities (learn more of Jerry Jenkins here), and the inaugural opening of the BCC Living Lab Project - a digital tour of sites on campus of environmental significance with Jeremy LaCrosse. There will also be a number of fascinating items for auction, including a fabulous Kayak, a spectacular snake water fountain, an incredible collection of natural history books, historic Brass microscopes, and several others. Bring your cash or pay with Venmo.
We hope you, your family, friends, and the people you see on the trails can join us again this year. We will be in the Koussevitzky Theater and lobby, so there’s plenty of room. Patrick Donovan of the Berkshire School will return this year as MC for all the speaker introductions. We are also happy to have Xavier Jones of Big Daddy’s (and other) restaurants as our caterer for coffee/tea breaks and a great lunch. Organizations interested in tabling at the event can register as an exhibitor by contacting Chelsey Simmons, deadline October 8th.
Save time in the registration line that day (and help us plan for lunch) by signing up here. We look forward to seeing you there!
Finally, BEAT is hiring! We are looking for a part-time Air Quality Project Co-Manger, and have open positions for Air Quality Mobile Monitors. Take a look at the posted job descriptions, and please contact Deputy Director Brittany Ebeling and Air Quality Co-Manager Andrew Ferrara with any questions.
That's it for now. Thank you for all you do to protect the environment!
Jane, Rose, Chelsey, John, Andrew, and Brittany

"There are a lot of misconceptions when it comes to recycling. We were given a tour by Steve
Ellis at the Springfield Materials Recycling facility (MRF), which is where most of recycling
materials go in western Massachusetts, including Pittsfield, after being picked up by curbside
services.
Many people question whether recycling actually happens or is worth it. It does happen and IS
worth it. Trash removal costs money when there is no reuse for those materials. On the other
hand, recycled materials MAKE money because after processing they are sold back to
companies to be made into new products. MRF has been open since the early 1990’s and has a
partnership with Waste Management (WM) to deliver its materials.
MRF is a dual-stream recycling facility, one of only two in the state, meaning it has two separate spaces for processing both metals and plastics, and paper items, which we separate out beforehand. This saves time and money compared to a single-stream service, which is when metals, plastics AND paper items are combined at curbside pickup. Single-stream recycling is less efficient because more of the materials can become contaminated due to mixing. In fact, dual-stream produces only about 4% waste, whereas single-stream recycling waste levels can be triple or quadruple of that.
Keep in mind when performing your own recycling: black plastic cannot be recycled due to the
fact that it cannot be altered into any other usable color. Also, the reason plastic bags are
unrecyclable is because they get stuck in the machines and conveyer belts that process
recyclables. The same goes for many smaller recyclable items. Facilities prefer to have larger
items because they are designed that way.
Over the past 15 years there has been an increase in small cardboard boxes due to the growth
of online shopping and deliveries. MRF has a hard time separating those boxes, as they often
fall through with newspapers and similar paper items. But continue to recycle them! MRF needs
all the materials they can get to continue being a profitable enterprise. As we move further into
the 21st century, there has been a move towards single-stream services. MRF is dual-stream
only so do your part and put out those cans, bottles and paper so that they can continue with
the good work they're doing."

|  | "At the Berkshire Bioblitz at BCC last Friday, participants found a Swainson’s thrush, dead on the ground after colliding with a building. Right now, songbirds like these, including the young of the year, are near the peak of their southerly fall migration. Using celestial cues to navigate, they fly at night. Up to a billion birds each year are estimated to die from window collisions. One cause of this is artificial light at light, which disorients and traps migrating birds, wasting precious energy and often causing them to slam into buildings and windows. The LED revolution of the last few decades is responsible for the explosion in light pollution—creeping outward into rural areas at an astonishing 10 percent a year..."

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says its data from the GE/Housatonic cleanup, even from the more heavily contaminated power transformer campus plant and East Branch of the Housatonic River, show airborne PCB levels far less than the standards it has set for the project..." READ MORE |  | "SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — 'Paper or plastic' will no longer be a choice at grocery store checkout lines in California under a new law signed Sunday by Gov. Gavin Newsom that bans all plastic shopping bags. California had already banned thin plastic shopping bags at supermarkets and other stores, but shoppers could purchase bags made with a thicker plastic that purportedly made them reusable and recyclable. The new measure, approved by state legislators last month, bans all plastic shopping bags starting in 2026. Consumers who don’t bring their own bags will now simply be asked if they want a paper bag..." READ MORE | |  |

"The Lenox Garden Club, a member of the Garden Club of America, has announced that applications for grants funding projects in 2025 are now available. The application information is available at lgccommunityproject@gmail.com. The grant application deadline is November 30, 2024.
Grants generally provide funding ranging from $500 to $5000. Grants are awarded to public or private not-for-profit organizations for specific projects in and around Berkshire County. In line with the mission of the Lenox
Garden Club the project should pertain in some way to areas such as Conservation, Gardens, Environmental Restoration, Community Beautification or Education. Projects with significant volunteer involvement will be given priority. Recent awards include $500 to the Vincent J. Hebert Arboretum at Springside Park in Pittsfield, MA to rejuvenate the existing entrance garden, creating an inviting introduction to the park, enhancing the appearance of the northern gateway to Pittsfield, and supporting the
ongoing efforts of the community, city and volunteers at the Arboretum. An award pf $1500 was given to the Adams MA Beautification project for creating a welcoming and inviting entrance garden at the Adams Visitor Center. This award builds on the exciting projects in the Adam’s community which are bringing this area back to life as a lush, vibrant green space. Founded in 1911, the mission of the Lenox Garden Club is to develop and stimulate interest and participation in horticulture, floral design, civic beautification and environmental concerns among its members and the public through education, volunteerism and financial support."

"PITTSFIELD — Slow and steady wins the race.
That’s the word from City Hall on the rollout of recycling “toters” so far, as the city Department of Public Works and Utilities collects information and works out the complications — some expected, some surprises — from the first few weeks of toter deliveries. Casella Waste Systems, the city’s trash and recycling contractor, is delivering 48-gallon recycling toters — plastic recycling and trash containers on wheels — to all 17,500 households that qualify for curbside pickup... Meanwhile, the city is still taking applications for its backyard pickup program to help folks who would struggle with hauling toters to and from the curb. Those who want another toter, or want their old trash cans collected, may request so on the city website..." READ MORE
| "Helene is the fourth Gulf Coast hurricane to make landfall this year. Only five other years had that many since comprehensive hurricane records began in 1851. The last time was 2020. Locating the center of a hurricane is essential to forecast storm surge flooding, but it is also critical to remember that impacts from the storm go far beyond the coast, extend well outside of the forecast cone and are not symmetric to the center of the storm. Recognizing ground conditions before the storm arrives is also vital to understanding what comes next. Long before Helene was anywhere near the southern Appalachians, rain was already falling there, but it had nothing to do with the hurricane..." READ MORE | |

Environmental Monitor
September 25, 2024
The Environmental Monitor provides information on projects under review by the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA) office, recent MEPA decisions of the Secretary of Energy & Environmental Affairs, and public notices from environmental agencies.
Berkshire Index:
•Egremont – Notice of Application for a 401 Water Quality Certificate- (click on the link, then at the top, click on attachments) – Culvert replacement of Egremont, Blunt Road over an unnamed perennial tributary to Marsh Pond. The proposed culvert replacement consists of replacing the existing structure with a three-sided concrete frame and concrete modular block wingwalls with a length of 28 feet, and a clear span hydraulic opening of 19 feet. In addition, approach roadway work and stream restoration work will be performed to restore or improve the area within the project limits. The stream bank will be reconstructed with natural stream materials. – Comments due 10/15/2024
•Great Barrington, Pittsfield – Notice of Application for a Water Management Act Permit- (click on the link, then at the top, click on attachments) – MassDEP has issued the following DRAFT Water Management Act (WMA) permits for a 30- day public comment period: Hazen Paper Company in Great Barrington MA has been issued a Draft Renewed WMA Permit, #9P2-1-02-113.01. Hazen Paper Company is registered for 1.04 million gallons per day (MGD) and permitted for an additional 0.46 MGD. The Renewed Permit will reduce their total authorized withdrawal volume from 1.50 MGD to 1.27 MGD. The renewed volume reflects Hazen Paper’s decision to voluntarily limit their withdrawals in order to remain below their baseline volume of 1.27 MGD, and therefore avoid the need to develop a mitigation plan; Blue Chair Properties in Pittsfield MA has been issued Draft Renewed WMA Permit #9P2-1-02-236.02 for 120-days of operation annually for snowmaking that authorizes no change in water withdrawal volume through May 31, 2032. The permitted authorized withdrawal is 0.25 million gallons per day (MGD). In addition to previous permit requirements, the permit includes the abandonment of one withdrawal point as a drinking water source and its status change to a non-potable snowmaking source. – Comments due 10/11/2024
CT River Valley Index:
• Holyoke – Holyoke Long Term CSO Control Plan – Notice of Project Change – comments due 10/15/2024

• East Longmeadow – Arment Trucking Inc. Facility – Secretary’s Certificate DEIR Certificate – Adequately and properly complies with MEPA – published 9/11/2024
• Chesterfield – Notice of Intent to Initiate an Ecological Restoration Project- (click on the link, then at the top, click on attachments)- The proposed project is seeking approval for the landowners to remove the invasive Phragmites australis australis (common reed) from ~0.35 acres of a wetland in Chesterfield MA. The goal of this project is to combine mechanical removal and targeted herbicide use (e.g. clip and drip) to remove this aggressive invasive while preserving the many native plants. – published 9/11/2024
• Westhampton – Notice of Application for a 401 Water Quality Certificate- (click on the link, then at the top, click on attachments)- 401 Water Quality Certification application for the replacement of Bridge No. W-27-028 carrying Perry Hill Road over the North Brook of the Manhan River in the Town of Westhampton.

• Blandford, Granville, Russell – Notice of Intent to Initiate an Ecological Restoration Project- (click on the link, then at the top, click on attachments)- The proposed daylighting project will include the following: Demolish the existing 18-inch CMP culvert; Construct a natural open channel, ranging from 10 to 14 feet in width lined with river stone that replicates the native streambed rock. A number of larger 18-inch to 24-inch river rock will also be placed within the channel to enhance surface diversity and the formation of micro-habitats; Regrade the stream banks to align with the natural topography of the stream channel. On the northwestern bank, a New England wetland seed mix will be applied to establish a contiguous wetland area. The northeastern bank will be restored with a native shade mix to support local vegetation and stabilize the bank; Install rip-rap swales and water bars along the existing logging road to manage stormwater runoff on the steep gravelly sloped logging road to reduce erosion and sediment transport into the streambed- published 9/11/2024
• Brimfield – Notice of Intent to Initiate an Ecological Restoration Project- (click on the link, then at the top, click on attachments)- Due to the uncontrolled growth of variable watermilfoil, fanwort, lilies, and pondweed, the Applicant, the Quinebaug Cove Campground, is seeking approval to initiate a multi-year aquatic vegetation management program. The objective of the proposed management program is to achieve long-term and sustainable control of the non-native and nuisance aquatic plant assemblage. Based on the recently observed distribution and density of the vegetation in the proposed target area, it has been concluded that the selective restoration of habitat and native species richness is best achieved through the integrated use of USEPA/MA DAR registered aquatic herbicides and algaecides. – published 9/11/2024
• Granby – Notice of Application and Issuance of a Draft Groundwater Discharge Permit- (click on the link, then at the top, click on attachments)- Notice is hereby given that the following application for an Individual Groundwater Discharge Permit is being processed and the following actions being proposed thereon pursuant to Section 43 of Chapter 21 of the General Laws, and 314 CMR 5.00 and 2.06: APPLICANT: Granby Heights Association, Inc.
