Section 1 of the report is a review of the year’s activities falling under each of the six Minimum Control Measures (MCM) described in the County’s MS4 Program Plan. Sections 2 and 3 include the required annual updates related to our Local TMDL Action Plan and Chesapeake Bay TMDL Action Plan, respectively. Roles and Responsibilities Most program activities are carried out by staff from both Albemarle County Local Government and Albemarle County Public Schools. Additional activities are performed per contractual arrangement with the Thomas Jefferson Soil and Water Conservation District (TJSWCD) and Rivanna Conservation Alliance (RCA). Key County staff associated with each Minimum Control Measure are listed in the table below.

Part I.E.1.g(1) – (2)) Due to the restrictions in place because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the in-person outreach activities that we usually conduct or take part in during springtime (e.g., Rivanna River Fest, student field trips) could not happen during the second half of Year 2. However, during that time we changed course to deliver some excellent web-based educational materials and curricula for the general public and school students. Rivanna Stormwater Education Partnership - The County continues its fruitful collaboration with other local MS4 permit holders – the City of Charlottesville, the University of Virginia, and the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority – in implementing education and involvement efforts through the Rivanna Stormwater Education Partnership (RSEP). The Thomas Jefferson Soil and Water Conservation District (TJSWCD) serves as the partnership’s coordinating body. The partnership website is http://www.rivanna-stormwater.org/, which received a major upgrade during the reporting year. RSEP met seven times during the reporting period to discuss and organize initiatives and share information pertaining to stormwater stewardship and permit compliance. Educational outreach and planning activities conducted by the partnership during Year 2 are listed in the table below. RSEP members regularly consult and update the public education and outreach plan that is shown within the County’s 2018-2023 MS4 Program Plan. The strategies in the plan and those activities implemented in Year 2 address one or more of the plan’s three high-priority stormwater issues: runoff volume reductions, potential runoff pollutants, and TMDL impairments (bacteria, sediment, nitrogen, phosphorus).

During the Fall 2019 semester, 525 Albemarle County Public School 4th graders and 135 adults took part in MWEEs at Camp Albemarle on the Mormons River. The experience included a demonstration of benthic stream sampling and a tutorial about watersheds using the Enviroscape watershed model. As alluded to above, the spring MWEE field trips were cancelled. However, TJSWCD staff successfully continued delivering educational watershed materials to County students via their schoolteachers, but through online means. Presentation on Native Riparian Plants, Flood Control with Dams – On Sept 19, 2019 County MS4 staff gave a presentation to approximately 40 non-environmental County staff about the benefits of native plants in riparian areas for infiltration and erosion protection, as well as flood control with dams.

  • Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority
    Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority RESERVOIR WATER QUALITY and MANAGEMENT ASSESSMENT June 2018 Acknowledgements In November 2014, DiNatale Water Consultants and Alex Horne Associates were retained by the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority to develop a comprehensive reservoir water quality monitoring program. This proactive approach is a revision from historic water quality management by the Authority that tended to be more reactive in nature. The Authority embraced the use of sound science in order to develop an approach focused on reservoir management. Baseline data were needed for this scientific approach requiring a labor-intensive, monthly sampling program at all five system reservoirs. Using existing staff resources, the project kicked-off with training sessions on proper sampling techniques and use of sampling equipment. The results and recommendations contained within this report would not have been possible without the capable work of the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority staff: • Andrea Terry, Water Resources Manager, Reservoir Water Quality and Management Assessment Project Manager • Bethany Houchens, Water Quality Specialist • Bill Mawyer, Executive Director • Lonnie Wood, Director of Finance and Administration • Jennifer Whitaker, Director of Engineering and Maintenance • David Tungate, Director of Operations • Dr. Bill Morris, Laboratory Director • Matt Bussell, Water Manager • Konrad Zeller, Water Treatment Plant Supervisor • Patricia Defibaugh, Lab Chemist • Debra Hoyt, Lab Chemist • Peter Jasiurkowski, Water Operator • Brian

  • Most Effective Basins Funding Allocations Rationale May 18, 2020
    Most Effective Basins Funding Allocations Rationale May 18, 2020 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Chesapeake Bay Program Office Most Effective Basins Funding In the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 Appropriations Conference Report, an increase to the Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP) Budget was provided in the amount of $6 million for “state-based implementation in the most effective basins.” This document describes the methodology EPA followed to establish the most effective use of these funds and the best locations for these practices to be implemented to make the greatest progress toward achieving water quality standards in the Chesapeake Bay. The most effective basins to reduce the effects of excess nutrient loading to the Bay were determined considering two factors: cost effectiveness and load effectiveness. Cost effectiveness was considered as a factor to assure these additional funds result in state-based implementation of practices that achieve the greatest benefit to water quality overall. It was evaluated by looking at what the jurisdictions have reported in their Phase III Watershed Implementation Plans (WIPs) as the focus of their upcoming efforts, and by looking at the average cost per pound of reduction for BMP implementation by sector. Past analyses of cost per pound of reduction have shown that reducing nitrogen is less costly by far than reducing phosphorus1. Based on that fact, EPA determined that the focus of this evaluation would be to target nitrogen reductions in the watershed. Evaluating the load reduction targets in all the jurisdictions’ Phase III WIPs shows that the agricultural sector is targeted for 86 percent of the overall reductions identified to meet the 2025 targets collectively set by the jurisdictions.

My observations from 2006 to 2014, along with historical and other recent records, now bring the total species count for the county to 95. This total includes 64 species of dragonflies, which represents 46% of the 138 species known to occur in Virginia, and 31 species of damselflies, which represents 55% of the 56 species known to occur in Virginia. Also recorded here are the observed date ranges for adults of each species and some observational notes. Key words: Odonata, dragonfly, damselfly, Albemarle County, Virginia.

  • Summary of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Suspended-Sediment Loads and Trends Measured at the Chesapeake Bay Nontidal Network Stations: Water Year 2016 Update
    Summary of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Suspended-Sediment Loads and Trends Measured at the Chesapeake Bay Nontidal Network Stations: Water Year 2016 Update Prepared by Douglas L. Moyer and Joel D. Blomquist, U.S. Geological Survey, December 13, 2017 Changes in nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended-sediment loads in rivers across the Chesapeake Bay watershed have been calculated using monitoring data from 115 stations that are part of the Non-tidal monitoring network (NTN) (Moyer and others, 2017). Constituent loads are calculated with at least five years of monitoring data and trends are reported after at least ten years of data collection. Data collection began in 1985 at nine of these locations, referred to as River Input Monitoring (RIM) stations, where loads are delivered directly to tidal waters. These results are used to help assess efforts to decrease nutrient and sediment loads being delivered to the bay. Additional information for each monitoring station is available through the USGS Chesapeake Bay Nontidal Web site (https://cbrim.er.usgs.gov/) that provides State, Federal, and local partners, as well as the general public, ready access to a wide range of data for nutrient and sediment conditions across the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Results from two time periods are reported in this summary: a long-term time period (1985- 2016), and short-term time period (2007-2016). All annual results are based on a water year which extends from October 1 to September 30. The results are summarized for 1. loads delivered directly to the tidal waters for the most recent year (Water Year 2016); specifically, the combined load from the nine River Input Monitoring (RIM) stations, 2.
