Summary of Decisions Regarding Nutrient and Sediment Load Allocations and New Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) Restoration Goals
To: Principal Staff Committee Members and Representatives of Chesapeake Bay “Headwater” States From: W. Tayloe Murphy, Jr., Chair Chesapeake Bay Program Principals’ Staff Committee Subject: Summary of Decisions Regarding Nutrient and Sediment Load Allocations and New Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) Restoration Goals For the past twenty years, the Chesapeake Bay partners have been committed to achieving and maintaining water quality conditions necessary to support living resources throughout the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem. In the past month, Chesapeake Bay Program partners (Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, the District of Columbia, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Chesapeake Bay Commission) have expanded our efforts by working with the headwater states of Delaware, West Virginia and New York to adopt new cap load allocations for nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment. Using the best scientific information available, Bay Program partners have agreed to allocations that are intended to meet the needs of the plants and animals that call the Chesapeake home. The allocations will serve as a basis for each state’s tributary strategies that, when completed by April 2004, will describe local implementation actions necessary to meet the Chesapeake 2000 nutrient and sediment loading goals by 2010. This memorandum summarizes the important, comprehensive agreements made by Bay watershed partners with regard to cap load allocations for nitrogen, phosphorus and sediments, as well as new baywide and local SAV restoration goals. Nutrient Allocations Excessive nutrients in the Chesapeake Bay and its tidal tributaries promote undesirable algal growth, and thereby, prohibit light from reaching underwater bay grasses (submerged aquatic vegetation or SAV) and depress the dissolved oxygen levels of the deeper waters of the Bay. -

Somerset’s first inhabitants, however, were the native tribes of the lower Eastern Shore. Native American occupation of the region dates back thousands of years; its earliest inhabitants occupied a landscape far different than today with much lower sea levels. Spanning over fifteen to twenty thousand years, native American habitation matured from hunter-gathers to settled communities of tribes who resided along the region’s A characteristic Paleo-Indian fluted numerous waterways, many of which still carry their names.

Native American occupation is also represented by the thousands of artifacts that turn up in the soil, or through the written historical record as Anglo-American explorers, traders and ultimately settlers interacted with them across the peninsula. One of the earliest explorers to leave a written record of his visit, describing the local inhabitants as well as their activities was Giovanni da Verrazano, who, during the 1520s, traveled along what later became Somerset County. -
Annual Report the Brock Environmental Center
Moving Forward 2016 ANNUAL REPORT THE BROCK ENVIRONMENTAL CENTER Leading the Way It has been a heady year for the Brock Environmental Center (pictured right). Located in Virginia Beach, Virginia, the facility welcomed tens of thousands of visitors, including Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe—who experienced one of the center’s most unique features when he sampled a glass of Brock’s treated rainwater (Brock is the first commercial building in the U.S. permitted to treat rainwater for drinking). The center has received 20 awards, including the 2015 Engineering News-Record’s “Best Green Project.” In May, Brock achieved a designation that was more than a year in the making: International Living Future Institute’s Living Building Certification. Brock is only the tenth building in the world to achieve the organization’s “full petal” certification, which requires a building to produce more energy than it uses over the course of a year, in addition to other strict criteria. Through the Brock Center, CBF is inspiring visitors and demonstrating how each of us can reduce our footprint and actually give back to the environment. contents To schedule a tour of the Brock educate ................................................................................... 2 Environmental Center, please advocate ................................................................................. 4 call 757/622-1964 x3312 or email [email protected]. litigate ..................................................................................... 6 restore ................................................................................... -
