Abstract
GEOMORPHIC SETTING: The Hearthstone Quarry Brook is a headwater stream that runs through a dense residential area and receives storm water run-off from area roads, highways, and parking lots in addition to significant inputs from the Massachusetts Turnpike. Soils are extremely fragile, noncohesive glacial outwash sands which are incised by deep ravines including the stream corridor itself and various small intermittent tributaries. Base flows are relatively constant due to highly permeable subsoils that groundwater discharge into the stream (Fig. 1).
