Practice Description |
Lessons learned from the Great Flood of 2011. The 2011 Flood tested the MR&T flood
risk management system (FRMS) like no flood before. The purposes of the overall PFR effort were to: 1)
evaluate and document the performance of the MR&T System and how it was managed to reduce flood risks
during the 2011 Flood; 2) develop a system-wide approach to sequencing repair efforts to effectively
address risks and repair the system to pre-flood conditions; and 3) identify and recommend opportunities
to improve the System's future performance. |

Practice Description |
Agricultural "Best Management Practices" are site specific, economically feasible practices that are applied by farmers while accounting for environmental and public health impacts. They are also dynamic in nature and can include new and innovative technologies as they are developed. Because every farm operation is different, BMPs are not intended to be regulatory. However, they are intended to provide guidance on practices that can be implemented on Massachusetts farms. |
