INDEX vi I. HISTORY In 1992, the Virginia General Assembly enacted legislation, co-patroned by Senator Frederick Quayle and Delegate Harvey Morgan, which established the Chesapeake Bay preservation license plate. The design included drawings of bay grass, oysters and crabs, and read “Friends of the Chesapeake." The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) began issuing the specialty plates in December 1992. The legislation also established the Chesapeake Bay Restoration Fund. The Council of the Environment established the Fund within the Department of Accounts, for use or its successor agency, for environmental education and restoration projects related to the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. For each plate sold or renewed at a cost of $25, the Fund receives $15 and the DMV gets $10. In an effort to ensure that allocations for Chesapeake Bay projects would be funded in an efficient manner, Senator Quayle sponsored a bill in 1995 that created the Chesapeake Bay Fund Advisory Committee to administer the Fund. The seven-member advisory committee is comprised of three legislative members and four private citizens. It chose to distribute the Fund money in the form of financial support grants to aid the Bay program. Recipients include state agencies, local governments, schools, or nonprofit groups. The Chesapeake Bay Fund Advisory Committee review grant applications and submits a list of recommended projects to the General Assembly for approval. Recommended projects fall into two categories: environmental education and restoration projects. Education projects include volunteer and teacher training, special school projects, and the development of education curricula and materials, and public information. Restoration projects include actions taken to preserve the Bay and its tributaries. The Restoration Fund has received in excess of $300,000 per year during this period. II. THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE The Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act established the Advisory Committee within the legislative branch to advise the General Assembly on the expenditure of moneys received in the Chesapeake Bay Restoration Fund. [Va. Code § 10.1-2116 (Michie 1998)] The Committee consists of seven persons as follows: Legislators: two members of the House of Delegates and one member of the Senate. Citizens: two persons appointed by the Speaker of the House of Delegates, one of whom shall be a representative of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, and two persons appointed by the Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections, one of whom shall be a representative of the Virginia Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts. Other requirements of the committee members include: All persons appointed shall be representative of all interests associated with restoration and conservation of the Chesapeake Bay. At least one citizen member shall be a current holder of the “Friend of the Chesapeake” license plate. Committee members serve for terms of four years. Legislators’ terms shall be concurrent with their elected terms of office. Members are not eligible to serve for more than two consecutive terms. The Committee elects a chairman and vice-chairman from among is legislative membership. The Committee shall develop goals and guidelines for use of the Fund, which may include but not be limited to cooperative programs with, or project grants to, state agencies, the federal government, or any not-for-profit agency, institution, organization, or entity, public or private, whose purpose is to provide environmental education and projects relating to the restoration and conservation of the Chesapeake Bay. The Committee is required to meet at least once a year. During this meeting, the Committee will review applications to form a list of recommended programs to receive grants, which is then presented to the Governor and General Assembly. The members of the Chesapeake Bay Advisory Committee as of May 2012 are: Senator Jeffrey L. McWaters (R - 8th District) Delegate M. Keith Hodges (R - 98th District) Delegate Margaret B. Ransone (R - 99th District) Terra Pascarosa Duff, Virginia Beach John W. Peterson, Burke Claiborne B. Roberts, Sandston Daniel G. Van Clief, III, Charlottesville Staff: Marty Farber, Senior Research Associate Gwen Foley, Senior Operations Staff Assistant Division of Legislative Services III. SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES The Chesapeake Bay Restoration Fund experienced continued growth by increased sales of the specialty license plate. Grant activity in 2000 - 2012 totaled $4.9 million. In 2004, the Committee distributed $468,000, the highest annual amount to date after receiving its highest number of grant applications to date, 109, from civic and community groups, environmental organizations, schools, and public agencies. The Committee awarded sixty-one grants, about thirty-six percent for amounts of less than $5,000. 2 Thanks to the generosity of Virginia citizens, revenues from the purchase of the popular Chesapeake Bay commemorative license plate totaled $300,000 each year. Sales have climbed to $1 million. The Fund is grateful for the generosity of the concerned citizens who have supported these initiatives.

  • CHESAPEAKE BAY LOWLANDS ECOREGIONAL PLAN Conservation Science Support—Northeast and Caribbean
    CHESAPEAKE BAY LOWLANDS ECOREGIONAL PLAN Conservation Science Support—Northeast and Caribbean The Chesapeake Bay Lowlands Plan is a first iteration. The draft report that was distributed in hardcopy for review on 6/27/2002 is included on the CD. No updates were made to that version. CSS is now developing a standard template for ecoregional plans, which we have applied to the CBY ecoregional plan report. Some of the CBY results have been edited or updated for this version. Click on index in the navigation plane to browse the report sections. Note: The Bibliography (still slightly incomplete) contains the references cited in all report sections except for the Marine references, which have their own bibliography. What is the purpose of the report template? The purpose of creating a standard template for ecoregional plans in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic is twofold: — to compile concise descriptions of methodologies developed and used for ecoregional planning in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. These descriptions are meant to meet the needs of planning team members who need authoritative text to include in future plan documents, of science staff who need to respond to questions of methodology, and of program and state directors looking for material for general audience publications. — to create a modular resource whose pieces can be selected, incorporated in various formats, linked to in other documents, and updated easily. How does the template work? Methods are separated from results in this format, and the bulk of our work has gone into the standard methods sections. We have tried to make each methods section stand alone.
