  • This Map Shows the Surficial Geology of Kent County, Delaware, at a Scale of 1:100,000
    Identification_Information: Description: Abstract: This map shows the surficial geology of Kent County, Delaware, at a scale of 1:100,000. Maps at this scale are useful for viewing general geologic framework on a county-wide basis, determining the geology of watersheds, and recognizing the relationship of geology to regional or county-wide environmental or land-use issues. The map was compiled from topographic and geologic maps, aerial photographs, geologists' and drillers' logs, geophysical logs, soils maps, and sample descriptions. Samples from drill holes and outcrops were examined for comparison with previous descriptions. Descriptions of geologic units, unless otherwise referenced, were generated by the author after examination of cores, outcrops, and samples from the Delaware Geological Survey Core and Sample Repository. Purpose: This map, when combined with subsurface geologic information, provides a basis for locating water supplies, mapping ground-water recharge areas, and protecting ground and surface water. Geologic maps are also used to identify geologic hazards such as sinkholes and flood prone areas, to identify sand and gravel resources, and for supporting state, county, and local land-use and planning decisions.

  • ITEM NO: 9 COUNCIL 21 JULY 2021 PUBLIC QUESTIONS 1 Question
    COUNCIL 21 JULY 2021 PUBLIC QUESTIONS 1 Question from Simon Radford, SE10, to Councillor Sarah Merrill, Cabinet Member for Environment, Sustainability and Transport With the announcement of ANPR being applied for emergency services access, the idea of opening Hyde Vale for 2 hours in the morning peak to alleviate traffic on Maze Hill has been mooted by the Council. Please note that West Greenwich is a small residential area (compared to East Greenwich for instance) with hardly any protection against large traffic volumes and vehicle sizes besides the LTN. The streets to/from A2 are interconnected by 2 streets including KIng George Street and Burney Street so excessive traffic on one road impacts the others. The proposal to re- open Hyde Vale or any other street in the area would invite rat runs throughout West Greenwich. So opening Hyde Vale with ANPR at the bottom would also result in rat runs accessing Royal Hill/Blissett St /Greenwich High Street via General Wolfe Rd/Crooms Hill and onto KIng George Street; latter is essentially a single lane road. Heavy traffic would run past 3 school entrances on Royal Hill, KIng George Street and Crooms Hill. Please can Cabinet Member confirm the Council’s plans for managing and mitigating rat runs which will appear throughout West Greenwich area before and during the proposed morning peak re-opening of Hyde Vale, that will protect the safety of school children and other pedestrians and cyclists? Please can Cabinet Member discuss what other mitigations within East Greenwich have been considered. We are aware that you have written to Greenwich Park but have you explored re-opening Park Vista westbound in the short term also in the morning peak to relieve standing traffic on Maze Hill in the morning peaks, caused by the very short traffic lights which prevent turns onto Trafalgar Road rather than the excessive volumes on narrower roads in West Greenwich.
