GRAPH SHOWS 'OVER THE TOP' TOXICS IN WINN BROOK AND LITTLE RIVER AT SILVER MAPLE FOREST EDGE
Increase of Contamination with new development predicted. added to website October 17, 2010 Please find two graphs that illustrate the bacteria issues at Winn Brook and at Alewife Brook. Winn Brook is sampled at the outlet of Winn Brook where it empties into Little Pond. Alewife Brook is sampled where Broadway crosses Alewife Brook at the Somerville/ Arlington Border. I would direct you to our interactive map where all of this data is available and shows where it comes from: http://maps.mapc.org/myrwa/ The standard for bacteria is 235 bacteria/100 ml for swimming and 1260 for boating.
