A CFR denotes a waterbody that contains Coldwater Fish that reproduced in that waterbody or a tributary thereto and use such waters to meet one or more of their life history requirements.
What is a CFR?
• Slimy Sculpin (Cottus cognatus)
• Longnose Sucker (Catostomus catostomus)
• Lake Chub (Couesius plumbeus)
• American Brook Lamprey (Lampetra appendix)
• Burbot (Lota lota)
• Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis)
• Brown Trout (Salmo trutta)
• Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
• Landlocked Salmon (Salmo salar)
• Lake Trout (Salvelinus namaycush)
• Rainbow Smelt (Osmerus mordax)

MDFW’s definition:
Coldwater Fisheries Resource (CFR)
• Currently, there are more than 1,000 CFRs statewide
• Westfield has the most CFRs of any watershed in
Massachusetts (170 CFRs)
• Closely followed by Deerfield (161), Connecticut (132),
& Chicopee watersheds (126) (all part of the
Connecticut River Basin)
Statewide CFRs
CFR & Water Management Act
Regulations
• A Water Management Act Permit applicant
with a withdrawal point(s) impacting a
coldwater fish resource(s) shall, after
consultation with the Department and EEA
agencies, submit a plan to minimize impacts
at the coldwater fish resource by optimizing
use of the applicant’s other withdrawal points,
if any.
CFR Regulation Purpose
• The purpose of 321 CMR 5.00 is to codify in regulation
– Definitions
– Criteria
– Procedures used by the Division to designate
waterbodies as CFRs.
These regulations also provide notice of where the
Division’s current list of CFRs is available for
review by regulatory authorities and the general
public.
Definition
• Definition focuses on presence of coldwater
fish: Coldwater Fish Resource (CFR) means a
water body that contains Coldwater Fish that
were reproduced in that waterbody or a
tributary thereto and use such waters to meet
one or more of their life history requirements.
Criteria
• Review each summer sampling results
• Identify waters with coldwater fish
• Review salmonid records
• Update the list
Reconsideration of Status
• Division will accept written request as
accompanied by supporting
documentation
• Division will review the request in
context of existing information
• Division will notify person requesting
determination in writing
• Flow
Typical Coldwater Fish Habitat
• Temperature
• Available food sources
• Upstream & downstream
passage throughout the brook &
to connecting tributaries
• Variety of available habitat
• Cover for protection
•Riparian cover
(bushes, ferns,
trees, other
vegetation)
Typical Coldwater Fish Habitat
•Root structures
•Undercut banks
•Woody habitat
• Suitable substrate for
spawning
• Impervious surface
• Water withdrawals
• Dams
• Poorly-designed road crossings & undersized culverts
• Deforestation & vegetation removal
• Wastewater discharge
• Road drainage
• Stormwater
