  • Inf-1 Chapter 4
    CHAPTER 4 – PUBLIC UTILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE Introduction Infrastructure is typically limited to those services found in an urban setting made available under finite conditions. These services include water, sewer, solid waste, electricity, communications, and other related utilities. Most of these services are regulated by the Public Service Commission for rates to the customer and by State Environmental Authorities for capacity limitations and expansion. This arrangement governs the regulated cost to the consumer as well as the physical impacts expansion of such services may have on the community and environment. This chapter provides an overview of the historic methods of provision and regulation of these services, as well as the current trends experienced by each. It also outlines existing and projected deficiencies in order to establish goals for both corrective measures and adequate realistic projections to ensure that services are extended appropriately for the foreseeable future. Water A water system is defined by the West Virginia Department of Health as any water system or supply which regularly supplies or offers to supply, piped water to the public for human consumption, if serving at least an average of 25 individuals per day for at least 60 days per year, or which has at least 15 service connections. In Morgan County, there are three distinct methods by which water is provided. They include: public systems owned and operated by a government entity, community systems typically owned by an association of users and maintained by private contract, and private wells that are owned and operated to serve a limited number of customers or larger single user that still meets the above criteria.

  • Draft Small Vessel General Permit
    ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, COASTAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM PUBLIC NOTICE The United States Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 W. Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois has requested a determination from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources if their Vessel General Permit (VGP) and Small Vessel General Permit (sVGP) are consistent with the enforceable policies of the Illinois Coastal Management Program (ICMP). VGP regulates discharges incidental to the normal operation of commercial vessels and non-recreational vessels greater than or equal to 79 ft. in length. sVGP regulates discharges incidental to the normal operation of commercial vessels and non- recreational vessels less than 79 ft. in length. VGP and sVGP can be viewed in their entirety at the ICMP web site http://www.dnr.illinois.gov/cmp/Pages/CMPFederalConsistencyRegister.aspx Inquiries concerning this request may be directed to Jim Casey of the Department’s Chicago Office at (312) 793-5947 or [email protected]. You are invited to send written comments regarding this consistency request to the Michael A. Bilandic Building, 160 N. LaSalle Street, Suite S-703, Chicago, Illinois 60601.

  • Stratigraphy, Structure, and Tectonics: an East-To-West Transect of the Blue Ridge and Valley and Ridge Provinces of Northern Virginia and West Virginia
    FLD016-05 2nd pgs page 103 The Geological Society of America Field Guide 16 2010 Stratigraphy, structure, and tectonics: An east-to-west transect of the Blue Ridge and Valley and Ridge provinces of northern Virginia and West Virginia Lynn S. Fichter Steven J. Whitmeyer Department of Geology and Environmental Science, James Madison University, 800 S. Main Street, Harrisonburg, Virginia 22807, USA Christopher M. Bailey Department of Geology, College of William & Mary, Williamsburg, Virginia, USA William Burton U.S. Geological Survey, Reston, Virginia 22092, USA ABSTRACT This fi eld guide covers a two-day east-to-west transect of the Blue Ridge and Valley and Ridge provinces of northwestern Virginia and eastern West Virginia, in the context of an integrated approach to teaching stratigraphy, structural analysis, and regional tectonics. Holistic, systems-based approaches to these topics incorpo- rate both deductive (stratigraphic, structural, and tectonic theoretical models) and inductive (fi eld observations and data collection) perspectives. Discussions of these pedagogic approaches are integral to this fi eld trip. Day 1 of the fi eld trip focuses on Mesoproterozoic granitoid basement (associated with the Grenville orogeny) and overlying Neoproterozoic to Early Cambrian cover rocks (Iapetan rifting) of the greater Blue Ridge province. These units collectively form a basement-cored anticlinorium that was thrust over Paleozoic strata of the Val- ley and Ridge province during Alleghanian contractional tectonics. Day 2 traverses a foreland thrust belt that consists of Cambrian to Ordovician carbonates (Iapetan divergent continental margin), Middle to Upper Ordovician immature clastics (asso- ciated with the Taconic orogeny), Silurian to Lower Devonian quartz arenites and car- bonates (inter-orogenic tectonic calm), and Upper Devonian to Lower Mississippian clastic rocks (associated with the Acadian orogeny).

  • Springs, Source Water Areas, and Potential for High-Yield Aquifers Along the Cacapon Mountain Anticline, Morgan County, WV
    Springs, source water areas, and potential for high-yield aquifers along the Cacapon Mountain anticline, Morgan County, WV Joseph J. Donovan Eberhard Werner Dorothy J. Vesper Lacoa Corder Hydrogeology Research Center West Virginia Water Research Institute West Viriginia University Final Report, Project HRC-3 May 2006 Abstract An investigation was made of high-yield water resources of Morgan County, focusing specifically on the Helderberg-Tonoloway-Wills Creek limestone units. These plus the associated underlying Silurian clastic rocks are thought to constitute a groundwater flow system, here referred to as the Cacapon Mountain aquifer. It lies between sandstone aquitards of the Tuscarora and Oriskany formations and flanks both sides of the Cacapon Mountain Anticline. The purpose of the investigation is to characterize the eastern side of this potential high-yield aquifer and identify its hydrogeological elements that may be critical to its development. Objectives include physical and chemical inventory/characterization of springs >10 gpm; identification of aquifer boundaries; hydrogeological mapping; chemical sampling of selected springs; and flow/chemical monitoring of 3 groundwater discharges in different portions of the aquifer. Results include location of wells in and springs discharging from the aquifer in Cold Run Valley. The aquifer may be subdivided into four compartments of groundwater movement based on inferred directions of groundwater flow. The largest of these is the Sir Johns Run catchment, which collects groundwater discharge at a nearly linear rate and discharges to the Potomac. The other three compartments discharge to tributaries of Sleepy Creek via water gaps in Warm Springs Ridge. During measurements in fall 2004, discharge via Sir Johns Run near its mouth was 6.75 cfs, suggesting that aquifer-wide, in excess of 10 cfs may be available throughout the study area for additional development.
