City of Gloucester Public Outreach Meeting Watershed Resiliency and Supply Vulnerability Assessment Project Update

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro
City of Gloucester Public Outreach Meeting
Watershed Resiliency and Supply Vulnerability Assessment Project Update
Gloucester – On Wednesday, December 12
th
at 5:30 pm in the Kyrouz Auditorium, the City of
Gloucester and its planning consultant, Kleinfelder, will host a public meeting to review the City’s Watershed and Water Supply Risk Assessment Management project and progress to-date, as well as solicit public input. As a designated Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP)
community, Gloucester has successfully undertaken a series of resilience planning exercises, and
continues to identify opportunities aimed towards enhancing societal, economic, and environmental conditions.
In 2017, the City conducted a Community Resilience Building (CRB) process that broughttogether multiple stakeholders to develop a suite of priorities to protect the City against threats
associated with region’s changing climate, including but not limited to costal storms, flooding, and other environmental hazards such as drought and wildfire. Gloucester’s Watershed and
Water Supply Risk Assessment project was developed in response to the feedback and
prioritized recommendations generated from this process.
Topics covered will include a description of existing hydrologic conditions and water uses in
Gloucester, and the sensitivity of Gloucester’s watersheds to the changing climate. The Team
will discuss a plan to help improve our understanding of potential future risks of reduced water
availability, incidence and impact of wildfire, and long-term water quality. This effort is in
support of an in-depth climate change risk assessment and management strategy for the City’s
water supply and reservoir system, including its watersheds.
For further information regarding this meeting, please contact Gregg Cademartori, Planning
Director, Community Development Department at 978-325-5242 gcademartori@gloucester-
ma.gov; Michael Hale, Director of Public Works at 978-325-5600 mhale@gloucester-ma.gov ,or
