Water Quality and Hydrologic Data for the WestBranch Swift River and East Branch Fever Brook,
Quabbin Reservoir Drainage Basin, Massachusetts
By Rochelle L. Rittmaster and Gerald G. Girouard
ABSTRACT
Water quality and hydrologic data were collected as part of a study of the effects of acid precipitation on stream water quality in two watersheds in central Mas- sachusetts, conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey from November 1983 through September 1985. The two watersheds, West Branch Swift River (12.7 square miles) and East Branch Fever Brook (4.85 square miles), located north of Quabbin Reservoir, differ in surficial geology and hydrologic characteristics. Data are reported on precipitation quality and quantity and streamflow quality and quantity at the outlet of each watershed and at several tributaries. Also reported are the quality of soil water and ground water, chemistry of soil leachates, and mineralogical analyses of the clay-sized fraction of watershed soils.
INTRODUCTION
This report presents data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey from November 1983 through September 1985 during a study of effects of acid precipitation on stream-water quality. A paired watershed approach was used to assess the influence of geology and surface hydrologic characteristics on ameliorating the effects of acid deposition. The study was conducted in cooperation with the Water Pollution Control Division of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MDEP) and the Metropolitan District Commission (MDC).
The MDC operates Quabbin Reservoir, the primary source of public water supply for the Boston metropolitan area in eastern Massachusetts.
The West Branch Swift River and East Branch Fever Brook are located in central Massachusetts to the northwest and northeast, respectively, of Quab- bin Reservoir (fig. 1). The West Branch Swift River (Swift River) drains a basin of 12.7 mi2 (square miles) that is characterized by steep till-covered bedrock ridges in the headwater areas and gently sloped stratified drift near the basin outlet. The East Branch Fever Brook (Fever Brook), which drains 4.85 mi2, has gentle slopes with till and stratified drift mixed throughout the basin.
The data presented include chemical and hydrologic information for the determination of water yields and chemical quality of water used for supply and recreational purposes. They include chemical analyses of precipitation and stream samples collected approximately weekly, and daily mean discharge at gaging stations on Swift River and Fever Brook (figs. 2, 3). Wells drilled in each of the drainage basins were sampled approximately month- ly for chemical analysis of ground water. Soil samples were analyzed for physical, chemical, and mineralogical properties, and soil-water samples were collected for chemical analysis.
Most of the data in this report are presented separately for each watershed and shown in tables at the end of this report. Hydrologic and chemical data collected from the Swift River basin are listed in tables 2 through 9. Similar data for the Fever Brook basin are presented in tables 10 through 17. Data on the soils and soil-water samples collected in both basins are combined in tables 18 through 21.

The authors are grateful to State officials and local residents who provided time and information for this study. Special thanks are extended to Mr. David Ashenden and Mr. Bruce Spencer of the MDC for their on-site assistance and observations, and to Gail Batch elder at the University of Mas- sachusetts at Amherst, Massachusetts, for her laboratory analyses of soil samples.
SAMPLE-SITE NUMBERING SYSTEM
Gaps left in the series of numbers reserves station numbers for assignment in proper sequence should intermediate stations be established in the future.
Ground-water and soil-water sampling sites were assigned 15-digit identification numbers. The first 13 digits provide the geographic coordinates of the site in degrees, minutes, and seconds of latitude and longitude. The last 2 digits are sequential iden- tification numbers for sites within the 1-second by 1-second quadrangle identified by the 13-digit latitude-longitude.
A sample site numbering system for surface water and ground water was used to identify, record, organize, and track sample analyses. Eight-digit sta- tion numbers were assigned to each surface-water gaging station and surface-water sampling site. These numbers were assigned in downstream order.
CO LECTION AND COMPUTATION OF DATA
Wet deposition was collected weekly, using an Aerochem-Metrics1 Model 301 wet/dry deposition sampler. The sampler was operated on private

property, in an open field, on undisturbed pas- tureland, and was set on a platform to diminish potential for vegetation and dust contamination of the samples. Because of a change in land ownership of the original site, the collector was moved in April 1985 to a site 0.5 mi (miles) away that was owned by the MDC. The samples were collected as 7-day com- posites of wet deposition. Chemical analyses of those samples are identified in table 1 by the begin- ning date of the 7-day period. Samples were generally collected on Tuesday to coincide with the day designated for weekly precipitation collection for the National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP) (Bigelow, 1982). Samples were analyzed for major cations and anions, nutrients, and some trace metals. Some weeks have only partial chemical data listed because of insufficient quantity of precipitation or malfunction or vandalism of the equipment.
Daily mean discharges for stations on the Swift River (01174565) and Fever Brook (01174050) were computed from continuous records of stage and in- termittent measurements of stream discharge and stage (tables 2 and 10). These data have also been published by the U.S. Geological Survey (1987). Stage was recorded at 15-minute intervals on a punch-tape water-stage recorder. Instantaneous discharge was measured with a Price current meter, using general guidelines of the U.S. Geological Sur- vey (Rantz and others, 1982). The relation between stage and discharge was developed using discharge measurements made over a range of stages. Obser- vations of factors affecting stage, such as ice, vegeta- tion, and beaver impoundments were used to adjust stage records in determining the daily flows reported in tables 2 and 10.
Heavy rains in May 1984 resulted in stream levels above maximum stage-recording levels of the gaging stations. Peak discharge for this event was estimated using the slope-area method (Dalrymple and Benson, 1967), based on high water marks estab- lished during peak flow at the gaging stations.
Stream samples were collected at the gaging sites approximately weekly and more frequently during snowmelt and following some rainstorms (tables 3 and 11). This sampling scheme permitted evaluation of water quality on the basis of seasonality and hydrologic conditions. Water samples also were collected at tributaries to Swift River and Fever Brook during late-winter and spring snowmelt, summer low flow, and autumn-winter baseflow conditions (tables 4-7, and 11-14). Except for the gaging site on Swift River, grab samples were collected at all stream sampling locations because
waters were well-mixed, as identified by measure- ments of uniform specific conductance, pH, and temperature across the channels. The Swift River gaging site was located downstream of the con- fluence of a tributary to the main channel, and lateral profiles of pH and specific conductance indi- cated incomplete mixing of the tributary and main channel waters. At this site, samples were collected across the stream channel and composited in a churn splitter.
Monitoring wells were drilled in till and stratified drift in each drainage basin. Water levels were measured approximately monthly, and water samples were collected monthly to bimonthly (tables 8-9 and 15-17). At least three well volumes were evacuated from the wells in stratified drift prior to each sampling. Because the wells in till recovered slowly upon evacuation of standing waterj sometimes only two well volumes were removed before each sampling.
Water from the unsaturated zone in both basins was sampled periodically, when near-saturated con- ditions existed (table 21). Two types of collectors were used: (1) zero-tension lysimeters, consisting of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe cut lengthwise to form a trough, and driven into the soil, and (2) a negative-tension TIMCO lysimeter with porous Teflon cups installed at depths ranging from 4 to 18 in. (inches) below ground surface. Because water drained quickly through these soils, water was recovered only from the deep lysimeter in the Swift River basin and from the deep and medium depth lysimeters in the Fever Brook basin. Soil-water samples yielded variable amounts of water, some sufficient only for pH and specific conductance and some sufficient for full chemical analysis (pH, specific conductance, major cations and anions).
Soil samples were collected from the O, A, and B horizons at several sites in the study basins (table 18). The sites were selected to provide an areal distribution and variation in surficial geology and underlying bedrock type.
SAMPLING PROCEDURES AND HANDLING
Temperature, specific conductance, and pH were measured in the field. An Extech digital con- ductivity meter and an Extech model 609 digital pH meter with an Orion glass combination pH electrode were used. Two reference solutions (Barnes, 1964) of low ionic strength were used to calibrate the pH meter prior to sample measurement.

Samples were filtered, preserved, and chilled in the field in accordance with methods recommended by the U.S. Geological Survey (Skougstad and others, 1979). Samples were shipped on ice to the U.S. Geological Survey Central Laboratory in Doraville, Georgia, for chemical analysis. Part of each sample was retained for measurement of alkalinity in a laboratory in the Massachusetts office.
Initially, dissolved aluminum was analyzed from samples that passed through a 0.4-^m (micrometer) filter. However, investigators (Jones and others, 1974) have observed that particulate and colloidal aluminum can pass through that filter pore size, causing overestimation of monomeric, "free" aluminum concentrations, the form of aluminum considered most toxic to fish (Driscoll and others, 1980). Therefore, during the first year of sample collection, two aliquots were periodically submitted for dissolved aluminum analysis -- one having passed through a 0.4-^m filter, and one having passed through a 0.1-^m filter. Dissolved aluminum con- centrations reported for water samples collected at the two basin outlets after December 1,1984, are only for those samples that passed through the 0.1-^wm filter.
LABORATORY ANALYSES
Concentrations of chemical constituents in the water samples were determined by methods outlined by Skougstad and others (1979). Many of the methods were developed especially for the analysis of low ionic-strength waters. Alkalinity was measured by incremental titration (M.C. Yurewicz, U.S. Geological Survey, written communication, 1985) using 0.01639-molar sulfuric acid as the titrant. This method is sensitive to the detection of the actual buffering threshold of water, the point at which the pH drops very quickly with small additions of acid. In contrast, a fixed-endpoint titration requires acid titration of the sample to pH 4.3 or 4.5. Because total carbonic-acid concentrations are low in these waters, the true endpoint generally is at a pH sig- nificantly higher (pH 5.0 to 5.3) than that of a fixed- endpoint titration. Therefore, the alkalinity measured by incremental titration is more conserva- tive and accurate than the alkalinity measured by fixed-endpoint titration in the determination of the buffering capacities of the waters.
Chemical analysis of soil-water leachates in- cluded exchangeable base cations (calcium, mag- nesium, sodium, and potassium) and exchangeable acidity (aluminum and hydrogen) (table 19) (Thomas, 1982). Mineralogical analysis of the clay-
size fraction (less than 2^m) of watershed soils was performed at the Department of Geology and Geog- raphy, University of Massachusetts, using X-ray dif- fraction.
