The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) requires that the City of Raleigh provide this report to all of its customers on an annual basis. This report will give you a snapshot of the water we produced last year. The Public Utilities Department of the City of Raleigh is proud to report that its drinking water meets all federal and state standards as required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) with no violations during January through December of 2003. What EPA Wants You to Know Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno- compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife; inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming; pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff, and residential uses; organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff, and septic systems; and radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants

  • Streamhead Canebrakes Are Treeless Or Sparsely Treed Vegetation Dominated by Arundinaria Tecta in Seepage-Fed Drainages

    Streamhead Canebrakes Are Treeless Or Sparsely Treed Vegetation Dominated by Arundinaria Tecta in Seepage-Fed Drainages

    STREAMHEAD CANEBRAKE Concept: Streamhead Canebrakes are treeless or sparsely treed vegetation dominated by Arundinaria tecta in seepage-fed drainages. Tree plus broadleaf shrub cover is generally less than 25 percent in good examples but may be higher if fire frequency has been reduced. Most of this rare community type is in the Sandhills Region, but it might occur in sand dune areas elsewhere in the Coastal Plain. Distinguishing Features: Streamhead Canebrakes are distinguished from other communities of seepage-fed streamheads by the dominance of Arundinaria tecta combined with low cover of trees and other shrubs (less than 25 percent). They are distinguished from Peatland Canebrakes by occurring in streamheads rather than in flat or domed peatlands, Carolina bays, or shallow outer Coastal Plain swales. Synonyms: Arundinaria gigantea ssp. tecta Shrubland (CEGL003843) (not distinguished from Peatland Canebrake in NVC). Atlantic Coastal Plain Streamhead Seepage Swamp, Pocosin and Baygall (CES203.252). Sites: Streamhead Canebrakes occur along mucky headwater and small stream bottoms in dissected sandhill areas, where soils are kept saturated by seepage. Soils: Soils are mucky mineral soils, most often mapped as Johnston (Cumulic Humaquept). Hydrology: Hydrology is typical of the theme as a whole, with long-term saturation by nutrient- poor water but with little or no stream flooding or standing water. Vegetation: Vegetation consists of a dense thicket of Arundinaria tecta and limited cover of broadleaf shrubs. Pinus serotina, Liriodendron tulipifera, Pinus taeda, Nyssa biflora, and Magnolia virginiana may form a sparse canopy. Any of the species of Streamhead Pocosin may be present in moderate numbers. Lyonia lucida is the most abundant other shrub in CVS plot data.

    Endangered Species

    FEATURE: ENDANGERED SPECIES Conservation Status of Imperiled North American Freshwater and Diadromous Fishes ABSTRACT: This is the third compilation of imperiled (i.e., endangered, threatened, vulnerable) plus extinct freshwater and diadromous fishes of North America prepared by the American Fisheries Society’s Endangered Species Committee. Since the last revision in 1989, imperilment of inland fishes has increased substantially. This list includes 700 extant taxa representing 133 genera and 36 families, a 92% increase over the 364 listed in 1989. The increase reflects the addition of distinct populations, previously non-imperiled fishes, and recently described or discovered taxa. Approximately 39% of described fish species of the continent are imperiled. There are 230 vulnerable, 190 threatened, and 280 endangered extant taxa, and 61 taxa presumed extinct or extirpated from nature. Of those that were imperiled in 1989, most (89%) are the same or worse in conservation status; only 6% have improved in status, and 5% were delisted for various reasons. Habitat degradation and nonindigenous species are the main threats to at-risk fishes, many of which are restricted to small ranges. Documenting the diversity and status of rare fishes is a critical step in identifying and implementing appropriate actions necessary for their protection and management. Howard L.

  • The Natural Communities of South Carolina

    The Natural Communities of South Carolina

    THE NATURAL COMMUNITIES OF SOUTH CAROLINA BY JOHN B. NELSON SOUTH CAROLINA WILDLIFE & MARINE RESOURCES DEPARTMENT FEBRUARY 1986 INTRODUCTION The maintenance of an accurate inventory of a region's natural resources must involve a system for classifying its natural communities. These communities themselves represent identifiable units which, like individual plant and animal species of concern, contribute to the overall natural diversity characterizing a given region. This classification has developed from a need to define more accurately the range of natural habitats within South Carolina. From the standpoint of the South Carolina Nongame and Heritage Trust Program, the conceptual range of natural diversity in the state does indeed depend on knowledge of individual community types. Additionally, it is recognized that the various plant and animal species of concern (which make up a significant remainder of our state's natural diversity) are often restricted to single natural communities or to a number of separate, related ones. In some cases, the occurrence of a given natural community allows us to predict, with some confidence, the presence of specialized or endemic resident species. It follows that a reasonable and convenient method of handling the diversity of species within South Carolina is through the concept of these species as residents of a range of natural communities. Ideally, a nationwide classification system could be developed and then used by all the states. Since adjacent states usually share a number of community types, and yet may each harbor some that are unique, any classification scheme on a national scale would be forced to recognize the variation in a given community from state to state (or region to region) and at the same time to maintain unique communities as distinctive.

Acrocystis) is described from the coastal plain of the southeastern United States. This species inhabits distinc- tive wetland communities in streamheads and small-stream swamps, usually under seepage influence. It is the only wetland member of section Acrocystis found in the southern Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain. It may be told from the morphologically similar Carex deflexa on the basis of its loosely cespitose habit with long, slender, reddish rhizomes, papillose, glabrate, elliptic perigynium, longer perigynium beak, and longer staminate scales and spikes. RESUMEN Se describe Carex austrodeflexa (sect. Acrocystis) de la llanura costera del sureste de los Estados Unidos. Esta especie vive en comunidades de humedales en cabeceras de arroyos y pantanos de pequeños arroyos, usualmente bajo influencia de filtraciones.
