The Division of Water Resources would like to take this opportunity to thank the many individuals and agencies that volunteered data and dedicated time and resources toward the compilation of this report. An electronic version of this report, as well as other reports prepared by the Division of Water Resources, are accessible through the Department of Environmental Protection’s web page on the Internet at http://www.dep.state.wv.us. Page 6 2002 305(b) Report PART I: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY / OVERVIEW This report has been prepared to meet the requirements of section 305(b) of the federal Clean Water Act (CWA). It is compiled from data collected by a number of state, interstate and federal agencies, including the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), West Virginia Division of Natural Resources (DNR), West Virginia Bureau for Public Health (BPH), United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission (ORSANCO), United States Geological Survey (USGS), United States Forest Service (USFS), and United States Army Corps of Engineers (USCE). Also, data from a number of third party sources was used to prepare this report, including colleges and universities, public utilities, private consultants, and volunteer monitors. The report provides a general assessment of the quality of West Virginia’s surface and ground water resources. The report addresses public health and aquatic life concerns and provides updated assessments on West Virginia’s lakes, wetlands, and nonpoint source programs. It also discusses special state concerns and describes existing programs for the monitoring and control of water pollution. In addition, the report provides a list of recommendations for the improvement of water quality management in West Virginia. There are more than 9,000 streams in West Virginia, comprising a total length of more than 32,000 miles. This includes approximately 21,000 miles Table 1. Water Resource Atlas of perennial streams and State population (2000) 1,808,344 over 11,000 miles of State surface area (square miles) 24,282 intermittent streams. Only a Number of major watersheds broad overview can be (USGS 8-digit HUCs) 32 included in an assessment of Total number of river and stream miles this type. More specific 32,278 information on individual Number of perennial river miles (subset) 21,114 streams can be found in the Number of intermittent stream miles (subset) 11,164 various watershed Number of ditches and canals (subset) 18 assessment reports being published annually by Number of border miles (subset) 619 DEP’s Division of Water Number of lakes/reservoirs/ponds Resources (DWR). A brief (publicly owned) 108 inventory of West Virginia’s Acres of lakes/reservoirs/ponds (publicly-owned) water resources is provided 22,373 in Table 1. Acres of freshwater wetlands 102,000 Page 7 West Virginia Water Quality Status Assessment DWR’s Watershed Assessment Section (WAS), as part of its rotating basin assessment strategy, collected the majority of data used in this report. In 1996, WAS established a five-year rotating basin approach to stream monitoring, called the West Virginia Watershed Management Framework. For five consecutive years beginning in 1996, WAS collected water quality data in each of the state’s 32 major watersheds (eight-digit USGS hydrologic units). Each year, a group of five to eight watersheds was assessed. The first five-year cycle ended in 2000; the second cycle was initiated in 2001. The format used in this 305(b) report is similar to that used in the 2000 report, which focused on 11 of the state’s 32 major watersheds. This report will focus on 14 watersheds. The watersheds included in this report are the Greenbrier, James, Little Kanawha, Lower New, Monongahela, and Upper New (Figure 1, group D), and the Big Sandy, Cacapon, Dunkard, Lower Ohio, Twelvepole, Upper Guyandotte, Upper Ohio South, and West Fork (Figure 1, group E). WAS monitored the group D watersheds in 1999 and the group E watersheds in 2000. Data collected by WAS was not the only data used in this 305(b) assessment. Data collected from other sources, including those mentioned inWAS paragraph one of this section, were utilized. In addition to the group D and E watershed summaries, an overall statewide summary is provided in this report utilizing data collected from 1996-2001. It is important to note that many of the streams selected for monitoring during this reporting period were not selected in random fashion, but were sampled because of known or suspected pollution problems. Because stream sampling in West Virginia traditionally has not been performed randomly, general inferences should not be made about the overall quality of West Virginia streams based solely upon the data used in this report. However, in order to provide a more accurate picture regarding general water quality conditions in the state, WAS established a random monitoring program in 1997 to complement its targeted stream program. Random monitoring enables DEP to make general inferences regarding the state’s overall water quality in a statistically valid manner.

  • The Cacapon Settlement: 1749-1800 31
    THE CACAPON SETTLEMENT: 1749-1800 31 THE CACAPON SETTLEMENT: 1749-1800 31 5 THE CACAPON SETTLEMENT: 1749-1800 The existence of a settlement of Brethren families in the Cacapon River Valley of eastern Hampshire County in present day West Virginia has been unknown and uninvestigated until the present time. That a congregation of Brethren existed there in colonial times cannot now be denied, for sufficient evidence has been accumulated to reveal its presence at least by the 1760s and perhaps earlier. Because at this early date, Brethren churches and ministers did not keep records, details of this church cannot be recovered. At most, contemporary researchers can attempt to identify the families which have the highest probability of being of Brethren affiliation. Even this is difficult due to lack of time and resources. The research program for many of these families is incomplete, and this chapter is offered tentatively as a basis for additional research. Some attempted identifications will likely be incorrect. As work went forward on the Brethren settlements in the western and southern parts of old Hampshire County, it became clear that many families in the South Branch, Beaver Run and Pine churches had relatives who had lived in the Cacapon River Valley. Numerous families had moved from that valley to the western part of the county, and intermarriages were also evident. Land records revealed a large number of family names which were common on the South Branch, Patterson Creek, Beaver Run and Mill Creek areas. In many instances, the names appeared first on the Cacapon and later in the western part of the county.

The proposed project will involve the construction of a 304-mile 42-inch natural gas pipeline in Virginia and West Virginia. The MVP pipeline will cross the United States Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) Pittsburgh, Norfolk and Huntington Districts regulatory boundaries. Approximately 164-miles of the proposed pipeline, approximately 132-miles of proposed access roads, and three (3) compressor stations are located within the Huntington District’s regulatory boundary in Monroe, Summers, Greenbrier, Nicholas, Webster, Braxton, Lewis, Harrison, and Wetzel Counties, West Virginia. The project has been assigned the following file number: LRH-2015-592-GBR. Please reference this number on all future correspondence related to this proposed project. The Corps’ authority to regulate waters of the United States is based on the definitions and limits of jurisdiction contained in 33 CFR 328 and 33 CFR 329. Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (Section 404) requires a DA permit be obtained prior to discharging dredged or fill material into waters of the United States, including wetlands.
