While some land and facilities goals remain, many of the short and medium priority recommendations have been accomplished. This, in conjunction with adoption of a new Comprehensive Plan-- along with increases in population and new Plan guidelines made it necessary to update and revise the Land Preservation, Parks and Recreation Plan. Purpose: This document has been prepared to: ~Update and revise where necessary, the parks, open space, and facility goals of the 1998 Land Preservation and Recreation Plan, as required by MD Departments of Planning and Natural Resources revised guidelines and Title 5, Subtitle 9 of the Natural Resources article of the Annotated Code. ~Consolidate and summarize policies, recommendations and goals for land preservation from the County's updated Comprehensive Plan, and other local plans, programs and studies and describe their consistency with the seven Visions of the Planning Act. ~Provide a flexible framework to the year 2010 for continued agricultural land preservation and development of a high quality County and municipal Parks and Open Space system. Overview: This Land Preservation, Parks and Recreation Plan is based in part on and consolidates explicit goals and policies of the County's updated Comprehensive Plan, adopted in 2002. The Comprehensive Plan includes policies for land use including industrial, commercial and residential development, mining and agriculture, and is the primary policy guide for environmental and land preservation decisions. This Plan presents land use data as well as information reflecting public recreational resources available in 1 Washington County. Projected future park and open space needs are given as well as general and specific recommendations for meeting these needs. Following recommendations in the new Comprehensive Plan, this Plan documents needs for park acquisition as well as potential trails and greenways in the Urban Growth Area around Hagerstown. Based on the parkland inventory and the projected 2005 population, the county now meets its 15 acres per thousand people acreage goal. However, according to population projections and housing development proposals, additional parkland may be necessary by 2010 to continue meeting the county’s acreage goal. Developer dedications or donations, combining community parks and school sites, and purchase of additional municipal and community/regional park land are some of the methods that could be used to continue meeting parkland goals. Land Preservation Activities Washington County continues to make progress on many fronts regarding land preservation efforts. A comprehensive rezoning of the entire rural area with 1/5, 1/20 and 1/30 zoning (plus exemptions) allows for a reduction in the number of building lots which would compete with agricultural/natural resource uses. To provide further protection to farmers from residential neighbors the county implemented a Right-To-Farm ordinance. The County continues to make progress with purchased easements through the Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Program, Rural Legacy, TEA-21, FRPP and a newly created Installment Purchase Program. In addition, the county is contracting with the Mid-Maryland Land Trust to allow for donated easements. Counting current easement projects, Washington County has more than 21,000 acres under permanent easements. 2 CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION A. Purposes of the Plan include: To review goals and objectives of state and local programs for parks and recreation, agriculture, and natural resources; To identify where goals and objectives area the same, where they are complementary or mutually supportive, and where they are simply different; To evaluate the ability of implementation programs and funding sources for each element to achieve related goals and objectives; To identify useful improvements to policies, plans and funding strategies, to better achieve goals and improve return on public investment; To recommend to governing bodies and agencies changes needed to overcome shortcomings , achieve goals, and insure good return for public investment; To identify needs and priorities of current and future local population for outdoor recreation; To achieve legislative goals of state and local land preservation programs; and To ensure that investment in land preservation and recreation supports and is supported by local comprehensive plans, implementation programs, state planning policy and state and local programs that influence land use and development. Local Agency Plan Preparation : The Washington County Planning Department is the lead agency responsible for coordination of the plan. The Park and Environmental Planner is the designated staff coordinator for the assistance and data provided by the County Agricultural Preservation Planner and the Recreation and Parks Department. Realtionship to the County Comprehensive Plan The LPPRP is intended to be a detailed element of the County Comprehensive Plan which was revised and adopted in 2002. 3 B. Definitions Specific definitions for the various categories of land are provided in guidelines from the Maryland Department of Planning. They provide guidance for both the State and local Land Preservation Plans. Recreation Land: Land and/or related water areas which support recreation as a primary use. The subcategories of recreation land are: Non-resource

    Introduction The Marcellus Shale in Maryland The Oriskany Sandstone is the main deep gas reservoir in western The Marcellus Shale extends continuously in the subsurface from Maryland. Appalachian gas drillers have long suspected that the dark central New York State southward to northeastern Alabama, and from gray to black shale, known as the Marcellus Shale, that overlies the Maryland westward to central Ohio. In western Maryland, the Marcellus Oriskany was the likely source for the gas within this prolifically Shale underlies all of Garrett County and much of Allegany County productive sandstone. The Marcellus was considered “tight” or (cover illustration). Within Garrett County and westernmost Allegany unproductive as a potential gas reservoir, but recent innovations in gas County the Marcellus is between 5,000 and 9,000 feet deep (Figure 2). In well drilling and stimulation have changed that long-held paradigm. In this part of Maryland, the Marcellus Shale is between 150 to 200 feet 2003 Range Resources was the first company to prove that the tight thick (Figure 3). Eastward from Dans Mountain to Town Creek, the shales of the Marcellus could produce economical amounts of gas if Marcellus has been eroded along the crests of anticlinal folds, but is drilled and stimulated unconventionally. shallowly buried within synclinal troughs. In this part of the state the shale ranges from 200 to 230 feet thick (Figure 3).

The principal aim of the study is to investigate the difference in the physical and economic conditions found within the County, and generally between the County and other counties, or the State. The disser­ tation, in brief, is a study of "regional differentiation". The problem posed by this study may be stated in form of a question: is areal differentiation brought about chiefly by man or by environmental factors? Research has been carried on, observations and analyses have been made in order to attempt to answer this question for Washington County.
