<br /> This is the first in a series of fact sheets to address community concerns on public health and
<br /> environmental issues associated with the Massachusetts Military Reservation ). This fact
<br /> sheet addresses recreational use of water bodies on Upper Cape Cod that are near the MMR. The
<br /> Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) in collaboration with the U.S.Environmental
<br /> Protection Agency(EPA),the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP),and
<br /> the U.S, Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry(ATSDR) has summarized and
<br /> evaluated data collected by the local boards of health,DPH,Massachusetts Division of Fisheries
<br /> and wildlife, and the Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE). These fact sheets
<br /> attempt to address concerns over contaminants associated with the NINM
<br /> Q.Do swimming,wading,fishing, or boating activities at any of the water bodies near the NEWR
<br /> present health risks?
<br /> A. Table 1 summanzes the areas of health concern for various activities at each of the water bodies near the
<br /> MMR based on the currently available environmental data. Mercury has been found at levels warranting a
<br /> Public Health Fish Consumption Advisory in the fish from three water bodies: Johns Pond, Mashpee-
<br /> Wakeby Pond, and Snake Pond. In 1994 Massachusetts health ofr'icials issued a statewide advisory
<br /> warning pregnant women about the risks of eating caught from fresh water bodies due to elevated
<br /> mercury levels in fish tissue. This advisory suggests either limiting or refraining from consuming fish from
<br /> the waterbo dies. For the specific advisories for each pond, contact the DPH. Fish from Ashumet Pond
<br /> have also been tested for PCBs,pesticides, mercury, and other metals, but the available data from this
<br /> pond have not warranted a Public Health Fish Consumption Advisory.
