The project was undertaken as an initiative of the National Park Service Chesapeake Bay office, which supports and manages the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail. One of the goals of the Captain John Smith Trail is to interpret Native life in the Middle Atlantic in the early years of colonization by Europeans. The Indigenous Cultural Landscape (ICL) concept, developed as an important tool for identifying Native landscapes, has been incorporated into the Smith Trail’s Comprehensive Management Plan in an effort to identify Native communities along the trail as they existed in the early17th century and as they exist today. Identifying ICLs along the Smith Trail serves land and cultural conservation, education, historic preservation, and economic development goals. Identifying ICLs empowers descendant indigenous communities to participate fully in achieving these goals.

  • Birding in Southern Maryland Calvert, Charles, St
    Birding in Southern Maryland Calvert, Charles, St. Mary’s and Southern Prince George’s Counties Produced by Southern Maryland Audubon Society Society Birding in Southern Maryland This brochure was especially designed for birders. If you are traveling through and have the urge to bird for a while, we hope this brochure will help you locate some spots local birders enjoy without wasting time looking for them. Our list in the back of this brochure includes some less common sightings as well as resident and migrant birds. If you are a resident birder, we hope you will eventually be able to put a checkmark beside each species. Good Birding! NOTE: Any birds sighted which are not on the checklist in the back of this brochure or are marked with an asterisk should be reported to [email protected]. Species notations, such as preferred habitat and seasonality are listed at the end of the checklist in the back of this brochure. Olive Sorzano 1920-1989 This brochure is dedicated to the memory of Olive Sorzano, a charter member of the Southern Maryland Audubon Society from 1971 until her death in 1989. A warm, generous, kind and thoughtful person, Olive came to represent the very soul of Southern Maryland Audubon. Throughout the years, she held various positions on the Board of Directors and willingly helped with nearly all activities of the growing chapter. She attended every membership meeting and every field trip, always making sure that new members were made welcome and novice birders were encouraged and assisted. Living on the Potomac River in Fenwick, a wooded community in Bryans Road, Maryland, she studied her land and water birds, keeping a daily list of what she saw or heard with her phenomenal ears.

    ER: Section 2.5 Socioeconomics 2.5 SOCIOECONOMICS This section describes the socioeconomic characteristics of the areas that could potentially be impacted by the construction and operation of Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant (CCNPP) Unit 3 on the CCNPP site. This section contains four subsections: 1) Demography, 2) Community Characteristics, 3) Historic Properties, and 4) Environmental Justice. These sections include a discussion about the socioeconomic characteristics of the 50 mi (80 km) comparative geographic area and the two-county region of influence (ROI)) that includes Calvert County and St. Mary’s County, which are the primary areas of concern for the socioeconomic impact assessment. In addition, socioeconomic characteristics are also described for the 10 mi (16 km) emergency planning zone and the 2 mi (3.2 km low population zone (LPZ), which are consistent with NUREG-1555 (NRC, 1999). The 50 mi (80 km) comparative geographic area was established by using the CCNPP site as the center point and drawing a 50 mi (80 km) radius circle around the CCNPP site. This comparative geographic area is consistent with NUREG-1555 (NRC, 1999), as a basis for conducting the socioeconomic analyses and evaluating the potential radiological and accident impacts. The region of influence (ROI) for the socioeconomic analyses include Calvert County and St. Mary’s County, Maryland. The borders of these counties extend less than 30 mi (48 km) from the CCNPP site. These adjacent counties are located in the southern part of Maryland on a peninsula bounded by the Chesapeake Bay and the Patuxent River. Potential socioeconomic impacts, if any, arising from the proposed plant are likely to be confined to these two counties because a majority of the existing workforce for CCNPP Units 1 and 2 reside in these counties and it is assumed that the potential in-migrating construction and operational workforces for CCNPP Unit 3 are most likely to reside in this same two-county ROI.
