Saugus River and Tributaries, Lynn Malden, Revere and Saugus, Massachusetts. Flood Damage Reduction. Volume 2. Appendix B. Hydrology and Hydraulics. Appendix C. Water Quality

Abstract

The main report and environmental impact statement/report summarizes the coastal flooding problems in the study area and alternative solutions. It describes the selected plan and implementation responsibilities of the selected plan, and identifies environmental resources in the study area and potential impacts of alternative solutions. Appendix B includes descriptions of: the tidal hydrology and hydrology of interior runoff in the study area, and of wave runup and seawall overtopping, interior flood stage frequencies, tide levels, flushing, currents, and sea level rise effects without and with the selected project for various gated openings. Appendix C includes descriptions of existing water quality conditions in the estuary and explores potential changes associated with the selected plan. Keywords: Ocean tides; Flood control; Tidal currents; Massachusetts coastal engineering; Ocean waves; Runoff/Flooding; Estuaries; Environmental impact statements.
