Taking Care of the Abrams Creek Wetlands Taking Care of 2010 Online Edition the Abrams Creek Wetlands: Purposes of This Booklet Tips for Homeowners, Landscapers Your property may border the Abrams Creek Wetlands, or you may live or work a few miles away. You may be a construction supervisor, and Businesses homeowner, business executive or landscaper. No matter where you live or what kinds of work you do in our community, the choices you make as you care for a piece of land can affect the Abrams Creek Wetlands and Abrams Creek itself. This booklet’s next few pages describe why the Abrams Creek Wetlands are important to our community. The sections that follow explain how you can maintain and enhance your property and home without harming the wetlands, Abrams Creek or the surrounding watershed. Included are guidelines for choosing plants for gardening and landscaping, controlling pests, preventing soil runoff, and creating habitats for wildlife. Each section ends with sources of further information. Eight undergraduates in Shenandoah University’s Environmental Studies Program prepared this booklet as a course project during the spring semester of 2006. We were inspired by previous Shenandoah students and a local citizens organization, The Opequon Watershed (TOW). For more than a decade, they have promoted a greater understanding, appreciation and protection of Abrams Creek and its wetlands. We were also inspired by the Good Neighbor Handbook. Tips and Tools for River-Friendly Living in the Middle Potomac Region published by the Potomac Conservancy and The Nature Conservancy. Our booklet, local in scope, addresses similar issues in our small portion of this watershed. Publication was supported by gifts from private individuals to Shenandoah University. As our work progressed, several persons offered helpful advice. To all who assisted us, supported us and inspired us, we express our gratitude.

University’s Environmental Studies Program The Abrams Creek Wetlands What Are Wetlands, and Why Are Wetlands Protected ? Where Are the Abrams Creek Wetlands ? Wetlands are transition zones between land and water. They include swamps, marshes, bogs, fens and shallow ponds. In a wetland, the The Abrams Creek Wetlands extend for 1½ miles along Abrams ground is saturated with water for a substantial part of the year. Creek, from Route 37 on the west to Harvest Drive on the east. Some wetlands have standing water, while others are merely soggy. Located in both the City of Winchester and in Frederick County, the Wetlands can occur in areas where surface water collects or where wetlands area includes grassy marshes, tree-shaded swamps, sunny groundwater rises to the surface as springs and seeps. meadows and upland forests. People value wetlands for many reasons. Undisturbed wetlands act as sponges. They soak up rain water, preventing or reducing the impacts of floods. Each acre of wetlands can store more than 360,000 gallons of water when covered by a foot-deep flood. Wetlands gradually release water into streams, lakes, and groundwater supplies. Thus, wetlands help keep a creek full during droughts and in its banks after storms. Excess fertilizers and pesticides, agricultural runoff, and leaky septic or sewage systems can release harmful materials into Abrams Creek. Nutrients such as phosphorus and nitrogen increase plant growth in streams, which, in turn, decreases oxygen levels for fish and other aquatic life. Sediment from improper construction or faming practices can clog fish gills and bury the aquatic plants and animals on which other organisms feed. Sediment can also breed harmful bacteria. Wetlands help trap, filter or neutralize many of these materials before they enter the creek. In October 2003, Winchester’s City Council established the Abrams Creek Wetlands Preserve on the north side of Abrams Creek and the Wetlands contribute to biodiversity by providing food and habitat to Winchester & Western railroad tracks. Developers donated the 25 many species of animals. Nearly half of all federally threatened and acres that make up the preserve. They also built the pathway that endangered species depend on wetlands for feeding, nesting, breeding forms the first mile of the Winchester Green Circle, an 8-mile route and/or rearing young. Freshwater fish depend on wetlands for food, for walking and bicycling that will circle the city of Winchester. This habitat and breeding places. preserve is Winchester’s first officially protected natural area. It is managed by the Winchester Parks and Recreation Department. A Wetlands can also provide recreational opportunities for both citizens organization, The Opequon Watershed (TOW) has been residents and tourists alike. They offer places of natural beauty for instrumental in establishing the preserve and quiet reflection, wildlife observation, bicycle rides and family walks.

As of May 2006, none of this the entire community. property in the county has been formally protected. Current development plans include leaving an undeveloped buffer zone around the wetlands when residences and roads are built. Why Are These Wetlands Special ? The following sections of this booklet presents tips to help show you how to care for your home, business or other property while taking Wetlands are rare in the Shenandoah Valley. Most rainwater runs off precautions to avoid harming Abrams Creek and the surrounding into surface streams or percolates quickly through cracks in our wetlands. Caring for these places now assures that we can enjoy them limestone bedrock. Many local wetlands have been drained, filled in or in the future. paved over to make way for homes, industries, stores, roads and educational institutions. Few undisturbed wetlands remain. Use Pesticides and Fertilizers Wisely Studies by Shenandoah University’s Environmental Studies Program and by the Virginia Division of Natural Heritage show that the Abrams Fertilizers and Soil Tests Creek Wetlands are one of the most biologically rich locations in Virginia. More than 15 species of plants that are rare in the state live Fertilizers are organic or synthetic materials that can be spread in in the Abrams Creek Wetlands Preserve. In July the small, bright blue lawns, gardens and around landscaping where the soil lacks sufficient flowers of marsh skullcap (Scutellaria galericulata) huddle among the nutrients for healthy plant growth. Most fertilizers provide the three wildflowers and grasses. In the late summer and early fall, you can see major plant nutrients – nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium hundreds of light purple willow asters (Aster prealtus) along the (K) – in varying proportions.

Becker and O'Melia, LLC WATER PROCESS RESEARCHERS AND CONSULTANTS POTOMAC SOURCE WATER ASSESSMENTS Introduction The 1996 Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments required states to develop and implement source water assessment prograIlli to evaluate the safety of all public drinking water systems. A Source Water Assessment (SWA) is a process for evaluating the vulnerability to contamination ofthe source of a public drinking water supply. The assessment does not address the treatment processes, or the storage and distribution aspects of the water system, which are covered under separate provisions of the Safe Drinking Water Act. The Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) is the lead state agency in this source water assessment effort. There are three main steps in the assessment process: (1) delineating the watershed drainage area that is likely to contribute to the drinking water supply, (2) identijYing potential contaminants within that area and (3) assessing the vulnerability, or susceptibility, of the system to those contaminants. Public notification is the final component of the source water assessment report process. The goal of the source water assessment program is to provide a framework for local stakeholders and governments in developing a Source Water Protection Plan. The source water assessments for Maryland water systems utilizing the Potomac River was undertaken as a joint effort by MDE, the Washington Suburban Sanitary Conunission (WSSC), and several consultants, including The Center for Watershep Ptotection, and Becker & O'Melia, the lead consultant.
