    Harford County, Maryland Loch Raven Reservoir Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for Bacteria, Mercury, Nutrients, and Sediment The Loch Raven Reservoir Watershed, Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL) for bacteria (December 2009), mercury (August 2004), and nutrients and sediment (March 2007) were established by Maryland Department of Environment (MDE) and approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). On December 30, 2014, MDE reissued the Phase I National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit to the County. The permit has several new requirements, including stringent stormwater management criteria, implementation of strategies to reduce litter and floatables, and development of restoration plans. Part IV.E.2.b of the NPDES MS4 permit requires the County to develop restoration plans to address stormwater wasteload allocations (SW-WLAs) for the waterbodies in the County that have EPA-approved TMDLs. Attachment B of the County’s NPDES MS4 permit lists eight waterbodies in the County that have TMDLs for various impairments. Table 1 lists the waterbodies, type of TMDL, and the impairment.

    Nick Walker, Ph.D. ([email protected]) Kim De Mutsert, Andy Dolloff, Vivek Prasad, A. Alonso Aguirre Joint Meeting of the American Eel Interest Group and the Sturgeon Interest Group December 12th, 2019 Why eels? Found in more habitats than another fish. Ideal for studies across a wide geographic area. Everyone talks about interconnectedness of ecosystems – eels live it. Connections with humans throughout history, opportunities for citizen science. A fish that can bring people back to nature. Adapted from Tsukamoto (2014). Fig. 1. American Eel sampling events Objectives Objective was to build a model of the subwatersheds of the Chesapeake Bay using a Digital Elevation Model (DEM); then add eel data, dams and land use. Goal was to create color‐coded maps of where eels are doing well and areas that might be prioritized for conservation. This study is follow‐up to our previous work on American Eel demographics in the Chesapeake Bay. Methods –Data collection Eel data from VA DGIF, MD DNR, USFWS et al. Elevation data from ASTER DEM (plus river data from USGS small scale maps). Dam data from The Nature Conservancy. Land use from Université Catholique de Louvain in Belgium. Sources limited by 2019 government shutdown. Methods Delineating streams and watersheds in ArcGIS: Load ASTER tiles (30x30m resolution; 20 tiles for study area). Fill, Flow direction and Flow Accumulation on each tile. Raster calculator: SetNull(“bay_flowac” < 27778,1) This sets minimum threshold to 25 km2 (or 25*106)/(302) Stream Link, Stream Order and Stream to Feature on each tile. Watersheds split along mainstem every 50 km.

    Pocomoke Floodplain Restoration Freeing a Trapped River © Kent Mason 75 Years of Channelization Pocomoke is an Algonquin word meaning “black water.” The heavy vegetation along Key Accomplishments*: the river’s swampy banks decomposes as organic matter into the river, coloring the water an inky black. The river was a key trading route for Native Americans for at least acres of public lands 300 years before English settlers arrived. In the late 1930s and early 1940s, the river 1,193 restored was dredged and channelized, and its banks clear-cut of timber, with the objective of eliminating the flooding of farmland that had been established within the river’s acres of private lands watershed. What wasn’t understood at the time was the important role that the 839 restored river’s natural flooding cycles play in the health of the surrounding cypress swamp, which is home to a biodiverse ecosystem. Recent scientific studies led by The Nature Conservancy and the US Geological Survey revealed that a restored Pocomoke acres of private lands floodplain would have a significant additional benefit — water that flows through the planned for future 552 restoration river’s swampy floodplain is naturally filtered, removing nutrients and sediment from upstream agricultural runoff, before flowing downstream into the Chesapeake Bay. *Results reported as of May 2017 Freeing a Trapped River In 2012, The Nature Conservancy and the Maryland Department of Natural Resources joined the Pocomoke floodplain restoration effort being led by the US Fish and Wildlife Service and Natural Resources Conservation Service. The restoration of the Pocomoke floodplain is one of the largest ecological restoration efforts in Maryland’s history.

  • THE FISCHER FAMILY of BALTIMORE COUNTY, MARYLAND: a PICTURE of the LIFE of a GERMAN-AMERICAN FAMILY in the EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY in 1990, Rudolph F
    THE FISCHER FAMILY OF BALTIMORE COUNTY, MARYLAND: A PICTURE OF THE LIFE OF A GERMAN-AMERICAN FAMILY IN THE EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY In 1990, Rudolph F. Fischer, Sr. finished writing his recollections from child- hood. Although Mr. Fischer intended his narrative solely for his family, the story he tells will likely appeal to many. He focuses on his own experiences yet recounts a virtual chronicle of life in rural Baltimore County in the early twentieth century. Mr. Fischer is now deceased, but his son, Rudolph, Jr., has graciously con- sented to the publication of his father's narrative in the Report. The story is presented largely as Mr. Fischer wrote it. Some explicit references to fami- ly members have been omitted, and several notes and illustrations have been added to make the whole accessible to a wider audience, particularly those who might not be intimately familiar with the geography of Baltimore City and County (Ed.). In June, 1896, my grandfather, Friedrich stated: "having declared an oath taken in J. Fischer, purchased four acres, one open court his intentions to become a citizen rood and eight perches1 of land on the of the United States and that he doth north side of Bird River Neck Road from absolutely renounce all allegiance and James J. Milling, He paid $40.00 per acre fidelity to the Emperor of Germany of or a total price of $172.00. whom he was heretofore a subject."
