2018 Fine and Bond JOHN P. MORRISSEY DISTRICT COURT OF MARYLAND 580 Taylor Avenue Chief Judge Suite A-3 Annapolis, Maryland 21401 Tel: (410) 260-1525 Fax: (410) 974-5026 March 30, 2018 TO: All Law Enforcement Officers of the State of Maryland Authorized to Issue Citations for Violations of the Natural Resources Laws The attached list is a fine or penalty deposit schedule for certain violations of the Natural Resources laws. The amounts set out on this schedule are to be inserted by you in the appropriate space on the citation. The defendant in such cases, who does not care to contest guilt, may prepay the fine in that amount. The fine schedule is applicable whether the charge is made by citation, a statement of charges, or by way of criminal information. For some violations, a defendant must stand trial and is not permitted to prepay a fine or penalty deposit. Additionally, there may be some offenses for which there is no fine listed. In both cases you should check the box which indicates that the defendant must appear in court on the offense. I understand that this fine schedule has been approved for legal sufficiency by the Office of the Attorney General, Department of Natural Resources. This schedule has, therefore, been adopted pursuant to the authority vested in the Chief Judge of the District Court by the Constitution and laws of the State of Maryland. It is effective April 1, 2018, replacing all schedules issued prior hereto, and is to remain in force and effect until amended or repealed. No law enforcement officer in the State is authorized to deviate from this schedule in any case in which he or she is involved. Your cooperation is appreciated. Very truly yours, John P. Morrissey Chief Judge District Court of Maryland Attachment (Rev. 04/2018) DCAR XVIII Natural Resources Fine Schedule Effective April 1, 2018 The prepayable fine amounts listed below are to be utilized by all law enforcement officers and District Court Commissioners when issuing charging documents in the District Court which charge a violation of any of the provisions of the Natural Resources laws listed below. The fine listed below is mandatory and cannot be altered by the officer or a commissioner. If no prepayable fine amount is listed for a statutory or regulatory section, the charging document must require the defendant to appear. If a violator is charged with a second or subsequent violation, the charging document shall require the defendant to appear. Court costs are included in the prepayable fine amount listed below, but not in the maximum penalty amount. This schedule is effective April 1st, 2018. OFFENSE PREPAYABLE DESCRIPTION MAXIMUM PENALTY CODE FINE AMOUNT Because most of these violations are not petty offenses, charging document shall be by a statement of charges to be served by summons or warrant.

  • Executive Summary for Youghiogheny River Fisheries Management Plan 2015
    Executive Summary for Youghiogheny River Fisheries Management Plan 2015 The purpose of the 2012 and 2014 surveys of the Youghiogheny River was to evaluate water quality and fish species occurrence in Sections 02 through 06, assess the river’s naturally reproducing gamefish populations (particularly Smallmouth Bass and Walleye), assess the results of fingerling stocking of Brown Trout and Rainbow Trout in Sections 02 to 05 (from the mouth of the Casselman River downstream to the dam at South Connellsville), assess the efficacy of annual Muskellunge stocking in Section 06 (from the dam at South Connellsville downstream to the mouth at McKeesport), and to update the fisheries management recommendations for the Youghiogheny River. All of the section and site data for the Youghiogheny River sampled in 2012 and 2014 were improved over the historic sampling numbers for water quality, fish diversity, and fish abundance. Smallmouth Bass made up the bulk of the available fishery at all sites sampled in 2012 and 2014. The water quality improvement was in large part due to the reduction of acid mine drainage from the Casselman River. This improvement in alkalinity was observed in the Youghiogheny River at Section 02 just below the mouth of the Casselman River, with an increase to 20 mg/l in 2012 from 11 mg/l in 1989. Section 03 (from the confluence of Ramcat Run downstream to the Route 381 Bridge at Ohiopyle) alkalinity improved from 13 mg/l in 1989 to 22 mg/l in 2012. Recreational angling in the Youghiogheny River for a variety of species has increased over the last fifteen years based on local reports.

  • 7 Sensitive Areas Garrett County’S Physical Landscape Is Characterized by Mountainous Ridges, Stream Valleys, Extensive Forests, and Productive Agricultural Areas
    2008 Garrett County Comprehensive Plan 7 Sensitive Areas Garrett County’s physical landscape is characterized by mountainous ridges, stream valleys, extensive forests, and productive agricultural areas. The County is home to the four highest mountains in Maryland, the state’s first designated Scenic and Wild River (the Youghiogheny River), and the state’s largest freshwater lake (Deep Creek Lake). These features are scenic and recreational resources for the County’s residents and visitors, and many are also environmentally sensitive. The Planning Act of 1992 and subsequent legislation requires each comprehensive plan in Maryland to establish goals and policies related to sensitive environmental areas, specifically addressing: • Steep slopes, • Streams, wetlands, and their buffers, • 100-year floodplains, • The habitat of threatened or endangered species, • Agricultural and forest land intended for resource protection or conservation, and • Other areas in need of special protection. The County’s Sensitive Areas Ordinance (adopted in 1997) and Floodplain Management Ordinance (adopted in 1991) provide detailed guidance for development affecting these sensitive areas. This chapter updates the 1995 Plan’s description of the County’s sensitive areas, and, in conjunction with the Water Resources and Land Use chapters of this Plan, further strengthens policies to protect sensitive areas. This chapter includes a discussion of ridgelines as a sensitive area in need of protection. 7.1 Goals and Objectives The County’s sensitive areas goal is: Continue to protect Garrett County’s sensitive environmental resources and natural features. The objectives for achieving this goal are: 1. Limit development in and near sensitive environmental areas, including steep slopes, streams, wetlands, 100-year floodplains, and the habitats of threatened or endangered species.

    THE CASSELMAN RIVER RESTORATION PROJECT1 Paul F. Ziemkiewicz and David L. Brant2 Abstract: The area along the Casselman River between Boynton and Meyersdale, PA was extensively mined in the late 1800's to early 1900's. The mining operations were room and pillar underground mining primarily on the Pittsburgh coal seem. The mined out area is approximately 5,000 acres in this deep mine complex (Shaw Mines Complex ‐ SMQ. Three tributaries to the Casselman River are impacted by acid mine drainage (AMD). Two of them are being restored primarily by re‐mining and the third has open limestone channels (OLCs) installed to remove part of the AMD produced in the SMC. Keywords: Open Limestone Channels, Re‐mining, Acid Mine Drainage 1Paper presented at West Virginia Surface Mine Drainage Task Force Symposium. Morgantown, WV, April 15 ‐ 16, 1997. 2Paul F. Ziemkiewicz, Ph.D., Director, David L. Brant, Research Associate, National Mine Land Reclamation Center, West Virginia University, P.O. Box 6064, Morgantown,WV 26506‐6064 Introduction Prior to the spring of 1993, the Casselman River was starting to rejuvenate between Rockwood and Confluence, PA. It was a stockable fishery in this region and upstream of Boynton, PA. The water quality in area between Boynton and Rockwood, although improving, was not suitable for sustaining fish life before the catastrophic discharge of acid mine drainage (AMD). The May 1993 acidic discharge occurred as a result of a rise in the local watertable due to a heavy snow cover that followed several years of below normal snowfall. The minerals in the long ‐abandoned deep mine (Shaw Mines Complex ‐ SMQ oxidized during the drier summer and leached into solution as the watertable increased.
