The quarry was active since before the Civil War. It was a deep hole in the ground, operating as a mine until 1999 when plan- ning began for the current development that includes housing, retail stores, and a large lake and park. The ensuing 40 acre lake is one of the deepest bodies of water in Maryland at 365 feet deep, with the Are you a member of the bottom of the lake at its deepest point 29 feet below sea level!

Before starting, the plan had to meet environmental standards on three levels—county, state and federal. A Baltimore County approved land reclamation plan, a state Department of Environment approved mining recla- mation plan, and permits by the state Department of the Environment and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers had to be submitted and approved. Phew! Not quite like plugging a hole in the dam with one’s finger… Eric spread out his maps on the gazebo floor for us to see. The brown one (pictured) shows the 900 acre watershed outlined in yellow, the current development in red, and the location of the original streams (Moore’s Branch and Wellwood Branch) prior to diversion in blue. The lake fills by direct precipitation, natural ground water and the flow of a diverted stream. It took 10 years to fill up, and continues to be fed by the stream. Water-level control consists of a complicated discharge structure consisting of a weir wall located in an underground vault where water from 60-feet be- neath the surface of the lake flows through a chamber that was designed to keep the lake surface at an elevation of 336’. Water overflow takes place at the east end of the lake from inside that structure, and is piped to the stream bank near Greenspring Avenue.

  • Birding in Southern Maryland Calvert, Charles, St
    Birding in Southern Maryland Calvert, Charles, St. Mary’s and Southern Prince George’s Counties Produced by Southern Maryland Audubon Society Society Birding in Southern Maryland This brochure was especially designed for birders. If you are traveling through and have the urge to bird for a while, we hope this brochure will help you locate some spots local birders enjoy without wasting time looking for them. Our list in the back of this brochure includes some less common sightings as well as resident and migrant birds. If you are a resident birder, we hope you will eventually be able to put a checkmark beside each species. Good Birding! NOTE: Any birds sighted which are not on the checklist in the back of this brochure or are marked with an asterisk should be reported to [email protected]. Species notations, such as preferred habitat and seasonality are listed at the end of the checklist in the back of this brochure. Olive Sorzano 1920-1989 This brochure is dedicated to the memory of Olive Sorzano, a charter member of the Southern Maryland Audubon Society from 1971 until her death in 1989. A warm, generous, kind and thoughtful person, Olive came to represent the very soul of Southern Maryland Audubon. Throughout the years, she held various positions on the Board of Directors and willingly helped with nearly all activities of the growing chapter. She attended every membership meeting and every field trip, always making sure that new members were made welcome and novice birders were encouraged and assisted. Living on the Potomac River in Fenwick, a wooded community in Bryans Road, Maryland, she studied her land and water birds, keeping a daily list of what she saw or heard with her phenomenal ears.
