STONY BROOK The Stony Brook watershed has a drainage area of 8,393 acres.

Located in the Boston neighborhoods of Roxbury, Jamaica Plain, Roslindale, Hyde Park, West Roxbury, and a small section of Brookline. The stream originates in the Stony Brook Reservation, It flows through an open channel for its first milE Then traverses north towards the Charles River for 7.5 miles through a brick conduit.

STONY BROOK

COMBINED SEWER SYSTEM

DAY-LIGHTING THE BROOK contaminantS from stormwater discharges directly to the lower Charles River. Stony Brook (combined sewer overflow) contribuE almost half of the annual fecal coliform load.

THE MAJORITY OF THIS during rain-storms (street runoff).

THESE ARE intercepted before they reach a water body. Theses are BROKEN DOWN TO HARMLESS MATERIALS BY materials by microbial action. broken down to harmless MICROBIAL ACTION.

ENERGY CROPS ‘more crop per drop’. plants grown as a low-cost and low-maintenance harvest used to make biofuels, or combusted for its energy content to generate electricity or heat.

Biofuels are liquid fuels derived from plant materials.,, for example, biodiesel which can be made from vegetable oils such as palm oil, soy or rapeseed oil.

Biofuels are mainly produced from food crops such as wheat, maize, sugarcane, sugar beet and oil seeds.

Biofuels cold be a solution to rising fuel prices, growing energy demands, and the need to curb emissions of greenhouse gases.

Yet, Unless planned properly, biofuel

BOSTON

crops are likely to escalate competition for water, especially in areas where it is already scarce.

.3 “...Over five acres of mature Phragmites (tall invasive reeds) choke the river and diminish its flood-carrying capacity. The weeds have displaced other plant species, keeping the ecology out of balance, undermining bio-diversity, and obstructing historic landscape rehabilitation..” ” (OPEN SPACE PLAn - city of boston)

MUDDY RIVER+PHRAGMITES

FILTRATION + ENERGY phragmites, an invasive wetland weed that is one of the most abundant plant species on the planet, ARE A EMERGING biomass source FOR BIOSFUEL.

STEP ONE

filters for run-off water before getting to the river.

STEP TWO

Phragmites, haVE taken over wetlands throughout the tidal areas of the muddy river, crowding out all other plants.. but The value of phragmites should be considered:
