The amounts set out on this schedule are to be inserted by you in the appropriate space on the citation. A defendant 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 January 1, 2021, replacing all schedules issued prior hereto, and is to remain in force and effect until amended or repealed.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 they are involved.

The Eastern Shore of Chesapeake Bay, from Cape Charles to Chester River, is mostly low and has few prominent natural features. The Nautical charts are a fundamental tool of marine navigation.

  • Noaa Coastal Mapping Program Project Completion Report
    NOAA COASTAL MAPPING PROGRAM PROJECT COMPLETION REPORT PROJECT MD0501C Portions of the Middle, Gunpowder and Bush Rivers, Maryland Introduction NOAA Coastal Mapping Program (CMP) Project MD0501C provides a highly accurate database of new digital shoreline data of the Chesapeake Bay from Galloway Point to Church Point, MD, including portions of the Middle, Gunpowder and Bush Rivers. The project area covers the portion of the Middle River extending up the Frog Mortar Creek; Bird River and shoreline in the vicinity of Joppatowne along the Gunpowder River; and Otter Point Creek to Church Creek that enters into the Bush River. Due to flight restrictions imposed by security at Aberdeen Proving Ground there are several gaps in the compiled shoreline for this project. Please refer to project MD0901 Northern Chesapeake Bay, Concord Point to Galloway Point, MD for shoreline adjacent to this project area. Project MD0501C is a subproject of a larger project, MD0501, which includes the northwestern shore of the Chesapeake Bay from Saunders Point MD in the south to Carpenter Point MD in the north, including a portion of the Susquehanna River, but excluding the shore of Aberdeen Proving Ground. Successful completion of the project resulted in a densification of the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS), a set of controlled metric-quality aerial photographs and digital feature data of the coastal zone which complements the Nautical Charting Program (NCP) as well as geographic information systems (GIS) for a variety of coastal zone management applications. The project database consists of information measured and extracted from aerial photography and metadata related to photogrammetric compilation.

Weighed against the significant adverse impacts to S.AV, these projects are not in the public interest and should be denied unless there are alternative approaches that tvould avoid impacts to SAV.
