PAYNE STREET ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA Prepared for Capital Investment Advisors 800 Slaters Lane Alexandria, VA 22314 By Sarah Traum And Charles E. Goode, RPA JMA, A CCRG COMPANY 5250 Cherokee Avenue, Suite 300 Alexandria, Virginia 22312 (703) 354-9737 April 2015 ABSTRACT ABSTRACT The two parcels at 1323 Wilkes Street and 421 South Payne Street, Alexandria, Virginia have been proposed for redevelopment. The parcels consist of a mid-twentieth century warehouse and two-story office building with no vegetated open space area. Alexandria Archaeology reviewed the proposed project and determined that because the existing warehouse complex was built with a slab foundation, there is potential for archaeological deposits under the extant foundations. They concluded that the parcels may have the potential to contain significant archaeological deposits associated with the nearby Civil War U.S. Military Railroad Yard (no longer extant). JMA (a CCRG Company) prepared a documentary study of the two contiguous parcels in September 2014. The study included background research on the prehistory and history of the project area and its vicinity. Based on its findings, Alexandria Archaeology determined that there was potential for archaeological deposits associated with the stockade that protected the Civil War U.S. Military Railroad Yard. JMA then performed an archaeological evaluation within the warehouse to determine whether remains of the stockade are present below the concrete slab foundation.

    Detection of the Pathogenic Fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, in Anurans of Huntley Meadows Park, Fairfax County, Virginia Todd A. Tupper1†*, Lauren D. Fuchs2†, Caitlin O’Connor-Love1 Robert Aguilar3 Christine Bozarth1, David Fernandez1 1Northern Virginia Community College Department of Math, Science, and Engineering 5000 Dawes Avenue Alexandria, Virginia 22311 2George Mason University Department of Systems Biology 10900 University Blvd Manassas, VA 20110 3Smithsonian Environmental Research Center Fish and Invertebrate Ecology Lab 647 Contees Wharf Road Edgewater, Maryland 21037 *Corresponding author: [email protected] †Authors contributed equally to the development of the manuscript Introduction The chytrid fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (hereafter Bd), has been identified as a proximate driver of amphibian population declines and extinctions worldwide (Lambertini et al., 2016; Lips et al., 2006; Olson et al., 2013). The pathogen is now widespread across much of North America, demonstrating a highly heterogeneous spatial distribution (Lannoo et al., 2011). Bd-related declines have been documented in several western states (Arizona, California and Colorado; Bradley et al., 2002; Briggs et al., 2005; Muths et al., 2003). Portions of the southwest and the eastern United States have reported high prevalence of the pathogen, but without concomitant declines (Lannoo et al., 2011; Petersen et al., 2016). Bd is a pathogenic mycotic species, which produces flagellated, motile spores that colonize keratinized epithelial cells in the skin of adult amphibians, and keratinized mouthparts of larval amphibians (Brutyn et al., 2012). Clinical manifestations of Bd infection reflect the diseased state known as chytridiomycosis. Hyperplasia and keratosis in the diseased state interfere with cutaneous respiration and osmoregulation, and can be lethal (Berger et al., 1998; Kilpatrick et al., 2010; Rachowicz et al., 2006; Voyles et al., 2009).
