  • 7. Mineral Resources
    7. Mineral Resources The primary mineral resources extracted for human use in Allegany County are coal, sandstone, and limestone. Coal bearing formations are concentrated in the Georges Creek Basin in the western part of the county. Mineral resources present in Cumberland occur primarily in association with Shriver Ridge, Haystack Mountain, and Wills Mountain. All three of these landforms contain sandstone deposits of varying quality. Limestone formations occur between Shriver Ridge and Wills Mountain in the Valley Road area and extend across Wills Creek to the West Side. There are no current mining operations within the City of Cumberland. The limestone deposits in the Valley Road area and on the West Side have been quarried in the past. Outside of the City limits, there is an active sandstone mining operation on the northwest slope of Wills Mountain. This operation does not currently affect views of Wills Mountain from Cumberland. There is historic evidence that drilling for natural gas was unsuccessfully conducted in the Narrows at one time. However, the lithology of this area indicates that it is unlikely to be a potential source of natural gas. Issues: • Mineral extraction is not a use compatible with Cumberland's position as a regional urban center. Less developed areas of Allegany County have ample deposits to meet regional needs for mineral resources. Moreover, the mineral resources in Cumberland occur in association with landforms (Shriver Ridge, Haystack Mountain, and Wills Mountain) that are important to the City's visual setting. Mineral extraction is not currently a permitted use in any zoning district within Cumberland. • It is possible that mining on the northwest side of Wills Mountain could affect views of the mountain from Cumberland over the long term, depending upon the extent of future extraction and its potential to undermine slopes along the ridgetop.

  • 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.

Surveys were conducted from kayaks, canoes and motor boats to assess the aquatic macrophyte communities in each lake. The purpose of the survey was to assess the current condition of the state lakes and assist in making management decisions related to aquatic invasive species. Overall, twenty-nine species of submerged aquatic vegetation and six species of floating or emergent plants were observed.

  • 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.
