Introduction Numerous state and federal laws and programs empower West Virginia’s regulatory agencies to protect the state’s water resources. West Virginia agencies having regulatory authority include the Division of Environmental Protection, the Bureau for Public Health, the Department of Agriculture, and the Soil Conservation Agency. The Division of Environmental Protection (DEP) regulates oil, gas, and coal extraction, and monitors and enforces regulations involving solid and hazardous wastes, air quality and water quality. The Office of Water Resources (OWR) and DEP’s Office of Environmental Enforcement (OEE) collect most of the state’s water quality data. OWR is responsible for general water quality monitoring and watershed assessment. The mission of the OWR is “to enhance and preserve the physical, chemical, and biological integrity of surface and ground waters, considering nature and the health, safety, recreational, and economic needs of humanity.” OEE enforces environmental laws and regulations by investigating complaints, resolving violations, and assuring discharge permit compliance. OEE’s mission is that “Environmental Enforcement promotes compliance with the Solid Waste Management Act, the Water Pollution Control Act, and the Groundwater Protection Act by providing assistance and/or enforcing conditions required of municipalities, solid waste facilities, manufacturing industry, and the general public in order to advance the lawful management of solid waste and wastewater.” The federal Clean Water Act (CWA), enacted in 1972, contains many statutory provisions to control sources of pollution to support the OWR’s mission. The Act authorizes the states to implement programs to regulate point source discharges and stormwater runoff and to manage pollution from agriculture, mineral extraction, logging and construction.

    The Cacapon Settlement: 1749-1800 31

    THE CACAPON SETTLEMENT: 1749-1800 31 THE CACAPON SETTLEMENT: 1749-1800 31 5 THE CACAPON SETTLEMENT: 1749-1800 The existence of a settlement of Brethren families in the Cacapon River Valley of eastern Hampshire County in present day West Virginia has been unknown and uninvestigated until the present time. That a congregation of Brethren existed there in colonial times cannot now be denied, for sufficient evidence has been accumulated to reveal its presence at least by the 1760s and perhaps earlier. Because at this early date, Brethren churches and ministers did not keep records, details of this church cannot be recovered. At most, contemporary researchers can attempt to identify the families which have the highest probability of being of Brethren affiliation. Even this is difficult due to lack of time and resources. The research program for many of these families is incomplete, and this chapter is offered tentatively as a basis for additional research. Some attempted identifications will likely be incorrect. As work went forward on the Brethren settlements in the western and southern parts of old Hampshire County, it became clear that many families in the South Branch, Beaver Run and Pine churches had relatives who had lived in the Cacapon River Valley. Numerous families had moved from that valley to the western part of the county, and intermarriages were also evident. Land records revealed a large number of family names which were common on the South Branch, Patterson Creek, Beaver Run and Mill Creek areas. In many instances, the names appeared first on the Cacapon and later in the western part of the county.

    Decision Rationale Total Maximum Daily Loads for the Twelvepole Creek Watershed, West Virginia

    Decision Rationale Total Maximum Daily Loads for the Twelvepole Creek Watershed, West Virginia ____________ _________________ Catherine A. Libertz, Director Water Division Date: _________ ______________ Decision Rationale Total Maximum Daily Loads for the Twelvepole Creek Watershed, West Virginia I. Introduction The Clean Water Act (CWA) requires a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) be developed for those waterbodies identified as impaired by a state where technology-based effluent limits and other pollution controls do not provide for the attainment of water quality standards. A TMDL establishes a target for the total load of a particular pollutant that a water body can assimilate and divides that load into wasteload allocations (WLA), given to point sources, load allocations (LAs), given to nonpoint sources and natural background, and a margin of safety (MOS), which takes into account any uncertainty. Mathematically, a TMDL is commonly expressed as an equation, shown below. 푇푀퐷퐿 = ∑푊퐿퐴푠 + ∑퐿퐴푠 + 푀푂푆 This document sets forth the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III’s (EPA’s) rationale for approving TMDLs for iron, selenium, aluminum, pH, and fecal coliform bacteria in the Twelvepole Creek Watershed submitted by the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP). The TMDLs were developed to address impairments of water quality standards as identified on West Virginia’s section 303(d) list of water quality- limited segments. WVDEP submitted TMDLs for 194 impaired streams in its report entitled Total Maximum Daily Loads for the Twelvepole Creek Watershed, West Virginia (March 2021) (hereinafter referred to as the “TMDL Report”), to EPA for final review and action on March 4, 2021.

    WEST VIRGINIA Fishing Regulations JANUARY - DECEMBER 2004 West Virginia Division of Natural Resources D I Investment in a Legacy --------------------------- S West Virginia’s anglers enjoy a rich sportfishing legacy and conservation ethic that is maintained T through their commitment to our state’s fishery resources. Recognizing this commitment, the R Division of Natural Resources endeavors to provide a variety of quality fishing opportunities to meet I increasing demands, while also conserving and protecting the state’s valuable aquatic resources. One way that DNR fulfills this part of its mission is through its fish hatchery programs. Many anglers are C aware of the successful trout stocking program and the seven coldwater hatcheries that support this T important fishery in West Virginia. The warmwater hatchery program, although a little less well known, is still very significant to West Virginia anglers. O West Virginia’s warmwater hatchery program has been instrumental in providing fishing opportunities F to anglers for more than 60 years. For most of that time, the Palestine State Fish Hatchery was the state’s primary facility dedicated to the production of warmwater fish. Millions of walleye, muskellunge, channel catfish, hybrid striped bass, saugeye, tiger musky, and largemouth F and smallmouth bass have been raised over the years at Palestine and stocked into streams, rivers, and lakes across the state. I A recent addition to the DNR’s warmwater hatchery program is the Apple Grove State Fish Hatchery in Mason County. Construction of the C hatchery was completed in 2003. It was a joint project of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the DNR as part of a mitigation agreement E for the modernization of the Robert C.
