  • Class a Wild Trout Streams
    CLASS A WILD TROUT STREAMS STATEWIDE WATER QUALITY STANDARDS REVIEW STREAM REDESIGNATION EVALUATION Drainage Lists: A, C, D, E, F, H, I, K, L, N, O, P, Q, T WATER QUALITY MONITORING SECTION (MAB) DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY STANDARDS BUREAU OF POINT AND NON-POINT SOURCE MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION December 2014 INTRODUCTION The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is required by regulation, 25 Pa. Code section 93.4b(a)(2)(ii), to consider streams for High Quality (HQ) designation when the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) submits information that a stream is a Class A Wild Trout stream based on wild trout biomass. The PFBC surveys for trout biomass using their established protocols (Weber, Green, Miko) and compares the results to the Class A Wild Trout Stream criteria listed in Table 1. The PFBC applies the Class A classification following public notice, review of comments, and approval by their Commissioners. The PFBC then submits the reports to the Department where staff conducts an independent review of the trout biomass data in the fisheries management reports for each stream. All fisheries management reports that support PFBCs final determinations included in this package were reviewed and the streams were found to qualify as HQ streams under 93.4b(a)(2)(ii). There are 50 entries representing 207 stream miles included in the recommendations table. The Department generally followed the PFBC requested stream reach delineations. Adjustments to reaches were made in some instances based on land use, confluence of tributaries, or considerations based on electronic mapping limitations. PUBLIC RESPONSE AND PARTICIPATION SUMMARY The procedure by which the PFBC designates stream segments as Class A requires a public notice process where proposed Class A sections are published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin first as proposed and secondly as final, after a review of comments received during the public comment period and approval by the PFBC Commissioners.

  • Maryland State Parks Plant 10,000 Trees for Earth Day 50Th Anniversary
    Maryland State Parks Plant 10,000 Trees for Earth Day 50th Anniversary Posted by TBN(Staff) On 04/23/2020 The Maryland Park Service is planting more than 10,000 trees in honor of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, April 22, 2020. From the shores of Assateague Island to the mountains of Western Maryland, rangers will plant native trees on public lands to mark the occasion. A special Wye Oak seedling — a descendant of a white oak that lived for centuries in Talbot County — was planted at Sandy Point State Park near Annapolis by Maryland Park Service Superintendent Nita Settina. “Once this white oak tree matures, it will support more than 500 species of insects essential to feeding young birds every spring,” said Superintendent Settina. The white oak — Quercus alba — is Maryland’s state tree, and is found in every county and Baltimore City. The Maryland Department of Natural Resources stresses the importance of planting native trees and other plants, which support Maryland’s butterfly, moth, and bird populations. According to the Maryland Forest Service, trees also provide cost-effective stormwater management, reduce flooding by absorbing and slowing rainfall, limit stream bank erosion, filter pollutants, improve water quality in streams and rivers, improve air quality, reduce energy costs by shading and insulating buildings, and much more. Through various initiatives, the Maryland Forest Service plants millions of trees and seedlings each year. “Planting native trees on our public lands is a perfect way to mark this special Earth Day,” Maryland Secretary of Natural Resources Secretary Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio said. “The most important lesson of the past 50 years is that everyone can make a difference and every contribution, no matter how big or small, is vital to our overall success.

  • Benefits of Greenways and Trails (Pdf)
    THE CAROLINA THREAD TRAIL (The Thread) is a network of greenways and conserved corridors that links 15 counties in North and South Carolina and is a collaborative project of unprecedented scale. The Thread connects our region and places of interest, and conserves our most significant natural areas. Benefits of Greenways and Trails Greenways and multi-use trails – like the Carolina Thread Trail – have had an enormous impact on the economic, physical and social well-being of communities across America. Despite tremendous examples and success stories across the country, a lack of information on the impact a trail may have on its specific community can often make it difficult to encourage governments, businesses, stakeholders or residents to financially support the construction of new trails and greenways. Quantifying the wide diversity of benefits trails have after establishment may be an even more challenging task due to the broad and multi-faceted manner in which communities can be positively affected. This compilation of facts and opinions is meant to synthesize much of the dispersed information available on greenways and trails— with particular focus in the Carolinas. Contents I.

There they presented a number of both planned and impromptu performances, including the one shown on the front cover on the Great Wall. Soderberg- Sarnaker was assisted on the journey by Dr. Mark Gallagher and accompanist Betty Jane Phillips, and in preparation for the trip by Yanling Fan, who ensured that the group’s pronunciation was perfect in the traditional “Usuli Boat Song.” The Chamber Choir’s trip to China, as well as a previous trip by education and geography students in January 2008 led by Dr. Ken Witmer and Dr. Hank Bullamore, helped lay the groundwork for FSU’s growing international initiatives in China.
