The proposed Project is being completed under the auspices of the Federal Rail Administration (FRA) in conjunction with DRPT. Because of FRA’s involvement, the undertaking is required to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended. The project is being completed as Virginia Department of Historic Resources (DHR) File Review #2014-0666. The DC2RVA corridor is divided into 22 segments and this document focuses on the NDEL segment only. This report includes background data that will place each recorded resource within context and the results of fieldwork and National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) evaluations for all architectural resources identified in the NDEL segment only.

  • SECTION 5 Utilities and Community Facilities
    SECTION 5 Utilities and Community Facilities Purpose Hanover County’s Mission is to be a premier community by providing superior service through creativity, innovation and sound financial practices. Adequate community facilities are essential to support services for current and future populations and for the local economy. The Comprehensive Plan has been developed with a 20-year horizon for guiding land use development and provides a course for predicting the need for future public facilities. The following section assesses existing facilities, the present design adequacy, capacity, and future demand for those facilities using the growth assumptions discussed in Section 1; specifically a 1.5% growth rate, 2.68 persons per household, and the assumption that 70% of growth will occur within the designated Suburban Service Area. This section addresses water/wastewater utilities and facilities associated with Public Safety (Fire/EMS, Sheriff’s Office, Animal Control), Parks and Recreation, Schools, Libraries, Judicial and General Government Services. References are made throughout this section to policies and documents that include further detail of the planning objectives utilized by a department or agency that administers the particular facility. This Section also provides guidance for accommodating private telecommunication infrastructure and to minimize the land use impacts of new facilities. Goal Hanover County citizens and businesses will be provided: • Superior services through cost-effective public utilities and community facilities

    STATE WATER CONTROL BOARD PAGE 1 OF 13 9 VAC 25-260-310, 410 and 530 - Virginia Water Quality Standards PART VII SPECIAL STANDARDS AND SCENIC RIVERS LISTINGS. 9 VAC 25-260-310. Special standards and requirements. The special standards are shown in small letters to correspond to lettering in the basin tables. The special standards are as follows: a. Shellfish waters. In all open ocean or estuarine waters capable of propagating shellfish or in specific areas where public or leased private shellfish beds are present, including those waters on which condemnation or restriction classifications are established by the State Department of Health, the following criteria for fecal coliform bacteria will apply: The geometric mean fecal coliform value for a sampling station shall not exceed an MPN of 14 per 100 ml of sample and the 90th percentile shall not exceed 43 for a 5-tube, 3-dilution test or 49 for a 3-tube, 3-dilution test. The shellfish area is not to be so contaminated by radionuclides, pesticides, herbicides, or fecal material that the consumption of shellfish might be hazardous. b. Policy for the Potomac Embayments. At its meeting on September 12, 1996, the board adopted a policy (9 VAC 25- 415, Policy for the Potomac Embayments) to control point source discharges of conventional pollutants into the Virginia embayment waters of the Potomac River, and their tributaries, from the fall line at Chain Bridge in Arlington County to the Route 301 bridge in King George County. The policy sets effluent limits for BOD5, total suspended solids, phosphorus, and ammonia, to protect the water quality of these high profile waterbodies.

Monitoring data was assessed against threshold values for each indicator at each site by determining the percentage of samples passing the thresholds over the period of interest. The grades for each site were then averaged together to determine an overall watershed score for each indicator. Ecological Health Indicators, which characterize the health of the system for aquatic life, scored relatively well, except for Total Phosphorus. Bacteria is used as a Human Health Indicator because this data evaluates how safe water is for swimming.
