  • A Guide to Paddle-In Campsites on the Chesapeake Bay
    A Guide to Paddle-in Campsites on the Chesapeake Bay By Ralph Heimlich Kayak touring involves a group loading their boats with all the camping gear and supplies needed for a several-day paddle. Ideally, launches and camping spots for kayak touring are spaced about a day’s paddle apart, say 10-12 miles for the average paddler. Another requirement is that the launch spot should be reasonably secure so that you have some assurance of finding an operable vehicle when you arrive back from the trip trying to drive home. This is a catalog of 57 formal paddle-in sites I know of on the Chesapeake Bay and tributaries. Contact me if I’ve missed any that you know about. There are numerous other “unofficial” (commando) sites that people have used. These are not suitable for groups or organized group trips. Patuxent River—The many sites along the Patuxent Water Trail are shown on the Patuxent Water Trail site (http://patuxentwatertrail.org/, and on the printed Patuxent River Water Trail Guide and GPS-ready Map by Dave Linthicum available at http://paxriverkeeper.org/product/patuxent-watertrail-navigation- map-non-waterproof-edition/. Paddle-in sites are listed by river mile (measured from the mouth of the Patuxent) and from upstream to downstream. Generally, these sites have a picnic table, fire ring, porta- potty and no water (exceptions noted). Reservations should be made well ahead of your planned trip since the process can be time consuming. Iron Pot Landing (River mile 44A (45 on the map))—This site is located just below the Billingsley Point manor house on Western Branch.

  • Commonwealth of Virginia Public Drinking Water Annual Compliance Report and Summary for 2019
    Commonwealth of Virginia Public Drinking Water Annual Compliance Report and Summary For 2019 The Virginia Drinking Water Program: An Overview “The purity of the public water supply bears a most intimate relation to the health of the community … [and] … its vital importance to the people of Virginia cannot be too vigorously impressed.” Dr. Ennion G. Williams, M.D., former State Health Commissioner made this statement in his 1912 Annual Report to the Governor of Virginia. Drinking water remains vital today and is essential to life and health. Throughout history, Virginia has maintained a proactive public drinking water program. In 1974, Virginia enacted its first set of enforceable regulations, which established standards for drinking water quality, as well as design and operation criteria for drinking water systems. That same year, Congress passed, and President Ford signed into law, the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), which marked the beginning of the federal government’s efforts to establish enforceable national drinking water regulations. Since 1974, Virginia has continued to update its regulations to incorporate federal rules and improve the protection of public health. Under the 1986 Amendments to the SDWA, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) set national limits on contaminant levels in drinking water to ensure that it is safe for human consumption. These limits are known as Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) and Maximum Residual Disinfectant Levels (MRDLs). For some regulations, EPA established treatment techniques in lieu of an MCL to control unacceptable levels of contaminants in drinking water. The EPA also required that public water systems (PWSs) monitor their drinking water for contaminants and report their monitoring results to the state.

NPS’s October 29, 2002 request for formal consultation was received on October 30, 2002. This biological opinion is based on information provided in the biological assessment, meetings, electronic mail, telephone conversations, field investigations, and other sources of information.
