HACK ABSTRACT Streams in seven areas of Virginia and Maryland, in the Appala­ the profiles of some of the streams studied may be expressed by two chian and adjoining Piedmont and Coastal Plain provinces, with simple equations. One, a logarithmic equation, applies where the different kinds of stream profiles and in geologically different terrane, particle size remains constant. This equation is were selected for study. In each of the areas measurements were H=k loge L-I-C made of stream length, drainage area, channel slope, channel cross section, and size of material on the stream bed. More than 100 where H is the fall from the drainage divide, L is the length from the localities were examined, on streams whose drainage areas range drainage divide and k and C are constants. It is a straight line on between 0.12 and 375 square miles. The measurements are com­ semilogarithmic graph paper. The other equation applies where pared on a series of scatter diagrams and relations among some of the the particle size changes systematically in a downstream direction variables that affect channel slope are discussed. The data for the and has the general form streams studied indicate that the slope of a stream at a point on the channel is approximately proportional to the 0.6 power of a ratio H— L(.+0 +C, when n does not equal —1 n+ 1 obtained by dividing the median size of the material in the stream by the drainage area of the stream at the same point. This relation where H is the fall from the drainage divide, L is length and k, n, means that for a given drainage area the channel slope is directly and C are constants. When C is zero this is a simple power equation proportional to a power function of the size of rock fragments on and plots as a straight line on logarithmic graph paper. The two the bed, and for a given size of bed material the channel slope is equations provide a wide variety of curves which are easily derived inversely proportional to a power function of the drainage area. It and offer a simple method of comparing many stream profiles. is also shown that the ratio of depth to width decreases downstream Because the size of the bed material has been demonstrated to in all streams studied. Streams in areas of softer rocks such as have an important effect on stream slopes and may show systematic shale or phyllite tend to have deeper cross sections than streams in changes along the stream, an attempt is made to analyze the factors more resistant rocks, such as sandstone. that control the changes. Detailed size-distribution analyses, in A very uniform relation between stream length and drainage area which stream-bed samples were separated into lithologic components, exists in all the streams studied, such that length (measured from a were made in areas where the sources of the bed material are known. locality on the stream to the source along the longest channel above These studies show that coarse material enters the stream wherever the locality) increases directly as the 0.6 power of the drainage area.

  • Final Development of Shenandoah River
    SDMS DocID 2109708 Decision Rationale Total Maximum Daily Load of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) for the Shenandoah River, Virginia and West Virginia I. Introduction The Clean Water Act (CWA) requires a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) be developed for those water bodies identified as impaired by the state where technology-based and other controls did not provide for attainment of water quality standards. A TMDL is a determination of the amount of a pollutant from point, nonpoint, and natural background sources, including a margin of safety, that may be discharged to a water qualit>'-limited water body. This document will set forth the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) rationale for establishing the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) of PGBs for the Shenandoah River. EPA's rationale is based on the determination that the TMDL meets the following 8 regulatory conditions pursuant to 40 CFR §130. 1) The TMDL is designed to implement applicable water quality standards. 2) The TMDL includes a total allowable load as well as individual waste load allocations and load allocations. 3) The TMDL considers the impacts of background pollutant contributions. 4) The TMDL considers critical environmental conditions. 5) The TMDL considers seasonal environmental variations. 6) The TMDL includes a margin of safety. 7) The TMDL has been subject to public participation. 8) There is reasonable assurance that the TMDL can be met. II. Background The Shenandoah River drains 1,957,690 acres of land. The watershed can be broken down into several land-uses. Forest and agricultural lands make-up roughly 1,800,000 acres of watershed.

  • The Origins and Dynamics of Phosphorus in Maine's Lake
    The Origins and Dynamics of Phosphorus in Maine’s Lake Auburn Watershed An Honors Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Environmental Studies Program Bates College In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts By Lars Gundersen Lewiston, Maine March 31st, 2020 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS When I came to Bates, I did not expect to write a scientific thesis. I had enjoyed natural and field science throughout high school, but found it intimidating. Then, as a second semester first- year, I took Scientific Approaches to Environmental Issues with my future advisor, Holly Ewing. This was the class that, far more so than any other class I took at Bates, changed the trajectory of my academic, intellectual, and career interests. Holly thinks and talks about the natural sciences in a way that makes sense to me and has consistently gone out of her way to help me and my learning. Throughout our three classes together, a summer research job (when the groundwork for this thesis was laid), and the process of researching, writing and revising this thesis, she has approached my position as a relative newcomer to science with humor, generosity, and mentorship and pushed me to the edge of my intellectual abilities. Thank you, Holly. Thanks also to Ellen Labbe, my high school biology teacher, who introduced me to the natural and field sciences and piqued my interest in learning more in college. Thank you to Dan Fortin, Chris Curtis, and everyone at the AWD/LWD for providing me with data, teaching me the basics of watershed sampling (both as a summer research assistant with Holly and this year), and answering all my questions.

  • Brook Trout Outcome Management Strategy
    Brook Trout Outcome Management Strategy Introduction Brook Trout symbolize healthy waters because they rely on clean, cold stream habitat and are sensitive to rising stream temperatures, thereby serving as an aquatic version of a “canary in a coal mine”. Brook Trout are also highly prized by recreational anglers and have been designated as the state fish in many eastern states. They are an essential part of the headwater stream ecosystem, an important part of the upper watershed’s natural heritage and a valuable recreational resource. Land trusts in West Virginia, New York and Virginia have found that the possibility of restoring Brook Trout to local streams can act as a motivator for private landowners to take conservation actions, whether it is installing a fence that will exclude livestock from a waterway or putting their land under a conservation easement. The decline of Brook Trout serves as a warning about the health of local waterways and the lands draining to them. More than a century of declining Brook Trout populations has led to lost economic revenue and recreational fishing opportunities in the Bay’s headwaters. Chesapeake Bay Management Strategy: Brook Trout March 16, 2015 - DRAFT I. Goal, Outcome and Baseline This management strategy identifies approaches for achieving the following goal and outcome: Vital Habitats Goal: Restore, enhance and protect a network of land and water habitats to support fish and wildlife, and to afford other public benefits, including water quality, recreational uses and scenic value across the watershed. Brook Trout Outcome: Restore and sustain naturally reproducing Brook Trout populations in Chesapeake Bay headwater streams, with an eight percent increase in occupied habitat by 2025.

  • Virginia State Capitol and Capitol Square
    Virginia State Capitol and Capitol Square In 1779, the Virginia Legislature voted to move the capital from Williamsburg to Richmond. Until a permanent Capitol could be built, the Virginia General Assembly met in two wood-framed buildings at the corner of what is now 14th Street and Cary Street. With Richmond as the new capital, six squares of land were selected for the placement of permanent public buildings. In 1788, the Thomas Jefferson designed Capitol was considered finished enough to house the Virginia General Assembly. Jefferson’s Roman temple form building is the middle portion of the present-day Capitol. The original building was expanded in 1906 with the addition of two wings, and again in 2007 with an underground extension. The architecturally and historically important building is designated as a National Historic Landmark and tentatively listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The public area surrounding the Capitol was originally a weed-filled open square with informal lanes and footpaths. In 1816, the Virginia General Assembly hired French-born Maximilian Godefroy to lay out a formal park. Two years later, the newly landscaped grounds were enclosed by the cast- and wrought-iron fence still in place today, and this area eventually came to be called Capitol Square. While retaining aspects of Godefroy’s framework, Scottish-born John Notman developed an 1850 overlay plan of meandering walkways and native trees and shrubs that gave Capitol Square much of the character and appeal it retains today. This designed historic landscape is nationally significant.

  • Everyday Life in Colonial Virginia
    VS.4e NOTE PAGE Everyday Life in Colonial Virginia 1. Natural, capital, and human resources found in colonial Virginia were used to produce the goods and services people needed to survive. Natural resources are resources found in Virginia, such as fish or trees. Capital resources are the items used by people to complete a task. For example, the tools used by farmers to farm their fields would be considered capital resources. Some of these capital resources were made in Virginia. Some were brought from England. People who do the work are human resources. Some of the colonists that came to Virginia were soldiers, farmers and blacksmiths. Those colonists would be considered human resources. 2. Many Virginians made their living from the land as small farmers. Some people owned large farms, or plantations. Enslaved African Americans tended tobacco, other crops and livestock for their owners. Enslaved African Americans did not have any rights. Many free African Americans owned their own businesses and property, but they were still denied many rights. 3. Life was very different during colonial times. Most people lived in one-room houses with dirt floors. Some people, such as wealthy farmers, lived in larger homes. Households used the resources available to them to make their own clothes. Most clothing was made of cotton, wool, and leather. Food choices were very limited for the colonists. Meals were made from local produce and meats. 4. Colonial Virginia was very different from the Virginia we know today! The colonists used the resources found in Virginia to live everyday.
