#MassDEP50 #MondayMemories In 2003, ~98k gallons of oil spilled into Buzzards Bay. This led to the creation of the Massachusetts Oil Spill Prevention & Response Act. MOSPRA supports projects, such as navigational aids & training, that help prevent spills & enhance our response.

Recent rains have provided relief, but with the warmer weather, more precipitation is needed to return our groundwater levels to normal. We're asking all residents to continue to be mindful of their water use and follow local water restrictions. mass.gov/conservemawater

Why does the state declare a drought, even when we get a lot of rain? It’s a great question - and the answer goes deeper than you might think.

Last week, #MassDEP attended EBCNE's APEX Awards and received recognition for our part in the redevelopment of the Senator Thomas Norton City Pier in #FallRiver. We are proud to have played a role in transforming this polluted land into an economic and recreational hub. 📸: EBCNE
