McPherson (410) 238-4255 (410) 238-4210 Below Normal Rainfall and Warm Temperatures Lead to Record Low Water Levels in December Three months of above normal temperatures and four months of below normal rainfall have led to record low monthly streamflow and ground-water levels, according to hydrologists at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in Baltimore, Maryland. Streamflow was below normal at 94 percent of the real-time USGS gaging stations and 83 percent of the USGS observation wells across Maryland and Delaware in December. Record low streamflow levels for December were set at Winters Run and Pocomoke River. Streamflow levels at Deer Creek and Winters Run in Harford County have frequently set new record daily lows for the last four months (see real-time graphs at http://md.water.usgs.gov/realtime/). Streamflow was also significantly below normal at Antietam Creek, Choptank River, Conococheague Creek, Nassawango Creek, Patapsco River, Gunpowder River, Patuxent River, Piscataway Creek, Monocacy River, and Potomac River in Maryland, and Christina River, St. Jones River, and White Clay Creek in Delaware. The monthly streamflow in the Potomac River near Washington, D.C. was 82 percent below normal in December and 54 percent below normal for 2001. Streamflow entering the Chesapeake Bay averaged 23.7 bgd (billion gallons per day), which is 54 percent below the long-term average for December.

  • 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.

  • Sideling Hill Creek Preserve Visitors Guide
    Maryland Preserve Guide Sideling Hill Creek, Allegany County Sideling Hill Creek originates from the southwestern mountains of Pennsylvania, winding its way among the steep, forested shale cliffs of western Maryland before finally spilling into the Potomac River. It is one of the most pristine streams in Maryland, and helps support the Nature Conservancy Nature state’s healthiest population of the globally-rare The The aquatic wildflower Harperella. The rare shale barren communities are another unique feature of this preserve. There are twelve rare, endemic Sideling Hill Creek is one of the most (occurring in the shale barrens and nowhere else) pristine aquatic communities in its region. plants here including the nationally-endangered evening primrose, shale ragwort, and Kate’s mountain clover. The preserve also has many different animals, such as the Olympian marble butterfly, green Key Elements floater mussel, and tiger beetle. Other animals include wild turkey, hawks, and bobcat. Harperella Rare shale barren communities Fun Facts About Sideling Hill Evening primrose The Sideling Hill watershed is about 80% forest cover, Olympian marble butterfly and is incredibly intact because there are no urban centers or industry, and the area is sparsely populated. This isolation has allowed Sideling Hill Creek to have supremely high water quality and healthy aquatic communities. Due to the hydrology of the shale barrens, the water level in this clean creek is highly variable. This variability is common for water bodies near shale barrens, but Sideling Hill Creek is exceptionally variable. It has seven species of freshwater mussels and 40 species of fish. Throughout the preserve, there are also a number of ephemeral streams.

ABSTRACT OF THESIS STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY OF THE TRANSYLVANIA FAULT ZONE IN BEDFORD COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA Transverse zones cross strike of thrust-belt structures as large-scale alignments of cross-strike structures. The Transylvania fault zone is a set of discontinuous right-lateral transverse faults striking at about 270º across Appalachian thrust-belt structures along 40º N latitude in Pennsylvania. Near Everett, Pennsylvania, the Breezewood fault terminates with the Ashcom thrust fault. The Everett Gap fault terminates westward with the Hartley thrust fault. Farther west, the Bedford fault extends westward to terminate against the Wills Mountain thrust fault. The rocks, deformed during the Alleghanian orogeny, are semi-independently deformed on opposite sides of the transverse fault, indicating fault movement during folding and thrusting. Palinspastic restorations of cross sections on either side of the fault zone are used to compare transverse fault displacement.
