The purpose of this meeting was to introduce the Cameron Run Watershed and discuss the overall watershed planning process. The overall goal of the Advisory Committee is to help Fairfax County develop a watershed management plan for Cameron Run that incorporates community interests in the evaluation and implementation of solutions for protecting and restoring the streams and other natural resources of the watershed. This process is also being implemented in other watersheds in Fairfax County, providing a consistent basis for watershed decision-making Key Decisions and Outcomes: . Advisory Committee Meetings will be held: Once per month At different locations within the watershed On an alternating Tuesday-Thursday schedule All meetings will be at 7:00 PM. The next meeting of the Advisory Committee will be held on December 16, 2003 at 7:00 PM. A meeting location and agenda will be sent prior to the meeting. The next meeting will include a brief primer on watershed concepts and how streams become degraded. Action Items: . Project staff will prepare a brief primer on watershed concepts and how streams become degraded for presentation at the next meeting. Project staff will search for information on projects identified by committee members as concerns in the watershed and will present findings to the Advisory Committee. Committee members will identify other individuals or groups that should be invited to participate in the Advisory Committee. Committee members will prepare general thoughts about issues to be addressed by the Cameron Run Watershed Management Plan, for discussion at the next meeting. Meeting Discussion: Mr. Rose of DPWES welcomed attendees to this initial meeting of the Cameron Run Advisory Committee. It was emphasized that this committee will assist the County in the development of the Cameron Run Watershed Management Plan. Through this committee, Fairfax County and the Cameron Run Advisory Committee Meeting Minutes 2 November 20, 2003 community will form a partnership that will result in a plan that is not only good for the environment, but good for the community as well. Mr. Kumar of DPWES gave attendees an overview and status of the county watershed planning process. Fairfax County has 30 designated watersheds, or natural drainage areas. The stream networks within these watersheds were assessed during a recently completed (October, 2003) countywide study. The assessment considered habitat and geomorphic conditions and inventoried problems such as deficient stream buffers and accelerated in-stream erosion as indicators of problems facing watersheds within Fairfax County. Of the 30 watersheds within Fairfax County, six have initiated the planning process: Cub Run, Bull Run, Popes Head Creek, Difficult Run, Cameron Run, and Little Hunting Creek. Ms. Shore of Versar, Inc. initiated an introduction session between committee and project staff members. Ms. Roth, also of Versar, presented an overview of the Cameron Run watershed and an introduction to the watershed planning process. The presentation covered the following topics: . Background information about Fairfax County watersheds . Steps for creating a Watershed Management Plan . A “Visual Tour” of the Cameron Run watershed . Public involvement in watershed planning process A watershed is an area of land that drains either directly, or through tributary streams into a particular river or water body. Fairfax County has designated 10 watersheds, representing 60% of the area in the county, as Phase I watersheds where planning has begun or will be initiated soon, including Cameron Run. Cameron Run, one of the largest watersheds in the county, measures a total of 44 square miles (33 square miles in Fairfax County) and includes several tributary systems (Holmes Run, Tripps Run, Lake Barcroft, Backlick Run, Indian Run, Turkeycock Run, and Pike Branch). A watershed plan is a tool that uses available watershed data to assess and manage the watershed. These plans provide goals and objectives for achieving management actions and recommending actions to prevent further watershed problems. In addition, these plans provide a benchmark against which the County can measure the progress of watershed solutions in the future. Fairfax County is undertaking development of Watershed Management Plans because 70% of the streams within the County are either in fair or poor condition as characterized by biological indicators (as assessed in the County’s Stream Protection Strategy baseline survey). Development of a plan will help Fairfax County meet Federal and State water quality standards, and help Virginia meet commitments in the Chesapeake 2000 agreement. Plans currently used by the County are outdated and do not take advantage of available stormwater management technology. Finally, a management plan will ensure that a comprehensive approach is taken to address regulations, commitments, and community needs. Cameron Run Advisory Committee Meeting Minutes 3 November 20, 2003 Cameron Run has a long history of urbanization with many impervious areas that create a large stormwater problem for the watershed area. Within the watershed area, two streams are located on the Environmental Protection Agency’s list of impaired waters. Under Section 303(d) of the 1972 Clean Water Act, states, territories, and authorized tribes are required to develop lists of impaired waters that do not meet established water quality standards even after point sources of pollution (e.g., water treatment plants) have installed the minimum required levels of pollution control technology. The law requires that these jurisdictions establish priority rankings for waters on the 303(d) list and develop total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for these waters. A TMDL specifies the maximum amount of a pollutant that a body of water can receive and still meet water quality standards, and allocates pollutant loadings among point and nonpoint (e.g., fertilizer runoff from yards) pollutant sources (Environmental Protection Agency 2003). The Cameron Run watershed comprises primarily residential land uses with few patches of forest. Urbanization has resulted in substantial physical impacts to the watershed including, but not limited to, erosion, flooding, and stream channel alteration. The County’s 2001 Stream Protection Strategy report listed Cameron Run as a Watershed Restoration Level II watershed. A Restoration Level II watershed is a watershed that is characterized by high development density, significantly degraded in-stream habitat conditions, and substantially degraded biological communities (DPWES 2001). A watershed management plan for Cameron Run will be designed to prevent further degradation to the watershed, improve water quality to meet Chesapeake Bay Program standards, as well as standards set by Federal, state, and local jurisdictions. Ms. Roth next explained why Fairfax County is interested in engaging the community during the development of the Cameron Run Watershed Management Plan. Community feedback will aid the County in pinpointing local problems (e.g., flooding or erosion) and then helping to facilitate solutions for those problems. Through the plan development process, the community as a whole will become more educated about the watershed and will be able to make more informed decisions. These decisions will ensure that the final management plan is effective in meeting water quality standards mentioned above,

One of the greatest challenges facing environmental educators is relating to a population that is increasingly insulated from the natural world. An environmental education needs assessment of schools located in an urban watershed found that inadequate educator knowledge of environmental issues, lack of state proficiency standards for environmental education, and lack of funding for environmental projects are barriers hampering the achievement of environmental education objectives. Respondents to the Hunting Creek Watershed Environmental Education Needs Questionnaire desire greater knowledge of and access to non-biased, science-based resources for teaching environmental education. Outreach environmental education can fill the gap created by lack of teacher certification,

  • Chapter 4 State of Cameron Run and Its Subwatersheds
    Chapter 4 State of Cameron Run and its Subwatersheds 4.1 STATE OF CAMERON RUN WATERSHED Today, the Cameron Run mainstem is a flood-control channel whose surrounding area is characterized primarily by medium- to high-density urban development. The Cameron Run watershed (Figure 4-1) contains some of the oldest and most highly developed areas in Fairfax County. Nearly 95% of the watershed is developed with homes, strip malls, commercial enterprises, and extensive roadway systems. The major highways in Fairfax County that cross the watershed include the Capitol Beltway, Shirley Highway (I-395), Little River Turnpike (State Route 236), Arlington Boulevard (U.S. Route 50), and Lee Highway (U.S. Route 29). These major arteries contain the largest shopping areas as well as several commercial strip develop- ments on streets throughout the watershed. These include Arlington Boulevard, the intersections of Little River Turnpike and Columbia Pike, and northwest of the Beltway interchange along Gallows Road. Figure 4-1. Map of Cameron Run watershed The effects of development are apparent throughout the watershed. The historic floodplain of lower Cameron Run is now primarily a transportation corridor where the Capitol Beltway parallels the stream channel (Woodrow Wilson Bridge Project 2001). Industrial, commercial, and residential areas have replaced the wetlands and forests that once attenuated floodwaters. Small remnants of wetlands remain in the watershed. These include palustrine, lacustrine, and riverine wetlands (associated with tidal wetlands, open water bodies, and free-flowing tributaries, respectively). The channels of Cameron Run and Holmes Run were made into rocklined or Final Cameron Run Watershed Plan 4-1 August 2007 concrete channels to remove floodwaters from developed areas quickly.

  • Overview of the Cameron Run Watershed
    Chapter 2 Overview of the Cameron Run Watershed 2.1 WHAT IS THE CAMERON RUN WATERSHED? The Cameron Run watershed drains a 44-square-mile section of Northern Virginia. Thirty-three square miles of this area lie within the jurisdiction of Fairfax County; the remaining area lies within the cities of Falls Church and Alexandria (Figure 2-1). The western part of the watershed is within the Piedmont physiographic province (i.e., just west of the fall line); the eastern part is in the Coastal Plain. The Piedmont is an area of very old crystalline rocks underlying rolling hills. The Coastal Plain is characterized by a recent series of unconsolidated sedimentary strata (sands) typified by flat lands. Holmes Run is the primary headwater stream of the Cameron Run watershed. The headwaters of Holmes Run lie near the junction of the Capital Beltway (I-495) and I-66, approximately 1.5 miles west of the city of Falls Church. Flowing south and east, Holmes Run drains a portion of the area between Tyson’s Corner and the cities of Vienna and Falls Church. The stream crosses beneath four major highways before flowing into Lake Barcroft. Lake Barcroft is located at the confluence of Holmes Run and Tripps Run. Tripps Run drains the southeastern half of the city of Falls Church. Other major tributaries of Cameron Run are Backlick Run, Indian Run, and Pike Branch. Lake Barcroft (137 acres), Fairview Lake (15 acres), and four regional ponds are major waterbodies within the watershed. Figure 2-1. Cameron Run watershed Final Cameron Run Watershed Plan 2-1 August 2007 Approximately four miles southeast of Lake Barcroft, Holmes Run meets Backlick Run.
