DNR Fine Schedule JOHN P. MORRISSEY DISTRICT COURT OF MARYLAND 187 Harry S Truman Parkway, 5th Floor Chief Judge Annapolis, Maryland 21401 Tel: (410) 260-1525 Fax: (410) 260-1375 March 31, 2020 TO: All Law Enforcement Officers of the State of Maryland Authorized to Issue Citations for Violations of the Natural Resources Laws The attached list is a fine or penalty deposit schedule for certain violations of the Natural Resources laws. 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 April 1, 2021, replacing all schedules issued prior hereto, and is to remain in force and effect until amended or repealed.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. Your cooperation is appreciated. Very truly yours, John P. Morrissey Chief Judge District Court of Maryland Attachment (Rev. 04/2021) DCAR XVIII Natural Resources Fine Schedule Effective April 1, 2021 The prepayable fine amounts listed below are to be utilized by all law enforcement officers and District Court Commissioners when issuing charging documents in the District Court which charge a violation of any of the provisions of the Natural Resources laws listed below. The fine listed below is mandatory and cannot be altered by the officer or a commissioner. If no prepayable fine amount is listed for a statutory or regulatory section, the charging document must require the defendant to appear. If a violator is charged with a second or subsequent violation, the charging document shall require the defendant to appear. Court costs are included in the prepayable fine amount listed below, but not in the maximum penalty amount. This schedule is effective April 1, 2021. OFFENSE CODE DESCRIPTION PREPAYABLE FINE MAXIMUM PENALTY Because most of these violations are not petty offenses, charging document shall be by a statement of charges to be served by summons or warrant.

  • Magothy River Association December 2020 Newsletter
    Magothy River Association December 2020 Newsletter Editor’s Note: As we come to the end of 2020, the Magothy River Association looks forward to a return to normalcy sometime in 2021. We appreciate our volunteers and officers, who continue to do whatever is still possible to assist in the preservation of the Magothy River and its tributaries. We wish you Happy Holidays! Andrea Germain, Editor Beachwood Park project. On a Saturday in November, volunteers for the MRA planted over 70 native trees, shrubs, and perennials to complete a stormwater restoration project at Beachwood Park in Pasadena. A severely eroded slope that funneled stormwater and sediment directly into the Magothy has been addressed with the construction of multi-tiered walls, donated by Maguire Marine Construction and its supplier, The Stone Store. The tiers will slow the descent of water, while native plantings purchased by the MRA that include American holly, black gum, serviceberry, bayberry, clethra, low-bush blueberries, Christmas ferns, and sea oats will absorb rainwater and stabilize the soil in the remediated area. Projects such as this can make a real difference in improving the health of the Magothy. Thanks to all who helped, especially Jim and Jim Crafton, who organized the event and worked with Parks and Rec on permits! Water Trail and Living History Videos. MRA videographer Charles Germain is working with Paul Spadaro to videotape new additions to the Magothy River Water Trail, including Cypress Creek, Dividing Creek, Mill Creek and the Little Magothy River. Charles collected excellent pictures of fall foliage and made some impressive drone shots of Cypress Creek.

SIR: I have the honor to transmit herewith, for publication as a bulletin, a gazetteer of Maryland. Very respectfully, HENRY GANNETT,. Geographer. Hon. CHARLES D. WALCOTT, Director United States Geological Survey. 3 A GAZETTEER OF MARYLAND. By HENRY GANNETT. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE STATE. Maryland is one of the Eastern States, bordering on the Atlantic Ocean, about midway between the northern and southern boundaries of the country. It lies between latitudes 37° 53' and 39° 44', and between longitudes 75° 04 and 79° 33'. Its neighbors are Pennsyl­ vania on the north, West Virginia and Virginia on the west and south, and Delaware on the east. Its north boundary is Mason and Dixon's line, and its east boundary is, in part, a nearly north-south line separating it from Delaware and Pennsylvania, and, in part, the Atlantic Ocean. On the south the boundary is an irregular line across the peninsula separating Chesapeake Bay from the Atlantic Ocean; then across Chesapeake Bay to the southern point of the entrance to Potomac River; thence following the low-water line on the south bank of the Potoniac to the head of the north branch of that river, at a point known as Fairfax Stone, excepting the area of the District of Columbia.

From 18th-century buildings, both grand and modest, in the National Historic District of downtown Annapolis, to swaths of pristine landscapes and maritime communities, the Four Rivers Heritage area strives to honor the stories of those who have called it home for centuries.

As home to hundreds of cultural, natural, and historical resources, the Four Rivers Heritage Area plays an integral role in building capacity and connecting the sites together. The creative synergy in its collaborative approach helps to lift up the historic preservation and the organizational insights of professional museum directors.
