Final Cameron Run Watershed Plan Ref-2 August 2007 Glossary Abatement: Reducing the degree or intensity of, or eliminating, pollution, as in a water pollution abatement program. Annual Flood Series: A list of annual floods for a given period of time. Annual Low-Flow: The lowest flow occurring each year, usually the lowest average flow for periods of perhaps 3, 7, 15, 30, 60, 120, or 180 consecutive days. Annual Runoff: The total quantity of water in runoff for a drainage area for the year. Data reports may use any of the following units of measurement in presenting annual runoff data: (1) acre-feet (AC-FT, acre-ft, af)– the quantity of water required to cover 1 acre to a depth of 1 foot and is equal to 43,560 cubic feet, 325,851 gallons, or 1,234 cubic meters; (2) cubic feet per second per square mile (CFSM, (ft3/s) mi2) – the average number of cubic feet of water flowing per second from each square mile of area drained, assuming the runoff is distributed uniformly in time and area; (3) inch (In., in.) – the depth to which a drainage area would be covered with water if all the runoff for a given time period was uniformly distributed on it. Aqueduct: (1) A pipe, conduit, or channel designed to transport water from a remote source, usually by gravity. (2) A bridge-like structure supporting a conduit or canal passing over a river or low ground. Bacteria: Single celled organisms that can cause diseases. Berm: (1) A narrow ledge or path as at the top or bottom of a slope, stream bank, or along a beach. (2) (Dam) A horizontal step or bench in the upstream or downstream face of an Embankment Dam. Best Management Practice (BMP): A structural or nonstructural practice that is designed to prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants to waterbodies and to minimize the impacts of changes in land use on surface and groundwater systems. Structural best management practices refer to basins or facilities engineered for the purpose of reducing the pollutant load in stormwater runoff, such as bioretention, constructed stormwater wetlands, etc. Nonstructural best management practices refer to land use or development practices that are determined to be effective in minimizing the impact on receiving stream systems such as the preservation of open space and stream buffers, disconnection of impervious surfaces, etc. BMPs also include treatment requirements, operating procedures, and practice to control plant site runoff, spillage or leaks, sludge or waste disposal, or drainage from raw material storage. Bioretention Basin: A water quality best management practice engineered to filter the water quality volume through an engineered planting bed, consisting of a vegetated surface layer (vegetation, mulch, ground cover), planting soil, and sand bed (optional), and into the in-situ material. Also called rain gardens. Final Cameron Run Watershed Plan GL-1 August 2007 Bioretention Filter: A bioretention basin with the addition of a sand layer and collector pipe system beneath the planting bed. Buffer: An area of natural or established vegetation managed to protect other components of a resource protection area and save waters from significant degradation due to land disturbances, also a Riparian Buffer. Chesapeake Bay Preservation Areas: Any land designated by the County pursuant to Part III of the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area Designation and Management Regulations and Code of Virginia, Section 10.1-2107. A Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area shall consist of a resource protection area and a resource management area. Capacity: The amount of water that a channel can accommodate up to its bank full condition, which is dependent on its slope, roughness characteristics, and geometric shape. Channel: A natural or manmade waterway. Confluence: The joining point where two or more streams create a combined, larger stream. Constructed Stormwater Wetlands: Areas intentionally designed and created to emulate the water quality improvement function of wetlands for the primary purpose of removing pollutants from stormwater. Detention Basin: A stormwater management facility that temporarily impounds runoff and discharges it through a hydraulic outlet structure to a downstream conveyance system. While a certain amount of overflow may also occur via infiltration through the surrounding soil, such amounts are negligible when compared to the outlet structure discharge rates, and therefore, are not considered in the facility’s design. Since a detention basin impounds runoff only temporarily, it is normally dry during periods of no rainfall. Easement: A legal instrument enabling the giving, selling, of taking or certain land or water rights without transfer of title, such as for the passage of utility lines. An affirmative easement gives the owner of the easement the right to use the land for a stated purpose. A negative easement is an agreement with a private property owner to limit the development of his land in specific ways. Ecosystem: All of the component organisms of a community and their
