west end Blue Hills Reservoir - a photo on Flickriver

This is the end of the former sixteen-acre impoundment that will be allowed to refill. The curious rounded bulge at left rear is the so-called "aquatic shelf and peninsula" intended to replace shallow-water habitat lost to the tanks, but in fact most of the lost habitat--about eight acres--averaged ten feet deep or more. Perhaps the "aquatic shelf and peninsula" might be more accurately called "pile of blasted-out excavate we had to put somewhere." It buried a large exposed ledge that was the last natural feature in the area.
