    Proposed Rule

    This document is scheduled to be published in the Federal Register on 01/28/2020 and available online at https://federalregister.gov/d/2020-01012, and on govinfo.gov DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Fish and Wildlife Service 50 CFR Part 17 [Docket No. FWS–R5–ES–2019–0098; 4500090023] RIN 1018-BE19 Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Designation of Critical Habitat for the Big Sandy Crayfish and the Guyandotte River Crayfish AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior. ACTION: Proposed rule. SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to designate critical habitat for the Big Sandy crayfish (Cambarus callainus) and the Guyandotte River crayfish (C. veteranus) under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). In total, approximately 582 stream kilometers (skm) (362 stream miles (smi)) in Martin and Pike Counties, Kentucky; Buchanan, Dickenson, and Wise Counties, Virginia; and McDowell, Mingo, and Wayne Counties, West Virginia, are proposed as critical habitat for the Big Sandy crayfish. Approximately 135 skm (84 smi) in Logan and Wyoming Counties, West Virginia, are proposed as critical habitat for the Guyandotte River crayfish. If we finalize this rule as proposed, it would extend the Act’s protections to these species’ critical habitat. We also announce the availability of a draft economic analysis of the proposed designation of critical habitat for these species. DATES: We will accept comments on the proposed rule or draft economic analysis (DEA) that are received or postmarked on or before [INSERT DATE 60 DAYS AFTER DATE OF 1 PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER]. Comments submitted electronically using the Federal eRulemaking Portal (see ADDRESSES, below) must be received by 11:59 p.m.

    Best Parks and Places

    Best Parks and Places If you’ve read Northern VA – What and Why, you know this area is one of the best in the country for dragonfly watching. Reviewing Habitat Tips will give you an idea of what makes good dragonfly habitat and the secrets to finding them. Maybe you’ve already found a great dragonfly park or natural area in your neighborhood, or have a list of rivers, ponds and meadows you’re excited to visit and explore. Following is a list of parks and places in Northern VA I consider some of the best sites for watching dragonflies. I’m sure I’ve missed many excellent sites, and encourage you to add to my list with your own explorations and favorite places. I’ve also purposefully left off a few sites due to issues with public access, property ownership, and/or fragile ecosystems with especially vulnerable flora and fauna. Please remember, wherever you explore, tread with respect and long-term conservation in mind. Let’s be stewards first, and collectors, photographers and listers second. Get to Know Your Community I live in Reston and have been impressed and excited to find 40 species within its borders! I’m sure thorough searches by fellow dedicated dragonfly geeks in and around other Northern VA communities could find similar results. Leesburg, Vienna, McLean, Quantico, Dumfries – every town has its hidden watershed jewels and biodiversity reservoirs. Sometimes it’s a wooded hillside and tiny stream system behind the local soccer field, maybe a protected natural area on the edge of your HOA with a marshy seep, or perhaps an unexplored swampy corner of some park or military base – see what secrets you can uncover.

    A Direct Route to George Washington's Home

    Office of Historic Alexandria City of Alexandria, Virginia Out of the Attic A direct route to George Washington’s home Alexandria Times, February 12, 2015 Image: Great Hunting Creek. Photo, Office of Historic Alexandria. his week, we continue our discussion of the man-made changes to Great Hunting Creek T and Cameron Run. With the construction of the Richmond Highway causeway across the creek in 1809 and then the building of a streetcar rail bridge across the wide mouth of the waterway at the turn of the 20th century, impediments to proper drainage were well in place by 1900. But within 30 years, a major new construction project would replace the elevated rail bridge with a permanent land form, further restricting the ebb and flow of natural currents and drainage flow far upstream. At the time the streetcar rail bridge was under construction, an Alexandria business group first proposed a new roadway to link the nation’s capital with the tourist haven, Mount Vernon, 15 miles away. As projected, the new highway would cross the Potomac River near Arlington House, as well as at Great Hunting Creek on suspension bridges high above the waterways, named the “Memorial Bridges” in honor of the Civil War dead and to reflect the reunification of the Union and Confederate states. In the rural wilderness of Fairfax County, south of Alexandria, the highway would include 13 rest areas, each featuring a large pavilion reflecting one of the original colonies, with landscaping, architecture and exhibits appropriate to the earliest states. By the late 1920s, Congress finally authorized construction of the George Washington Memorial Parkway, in honor of the upcoming 200th birthday of the nation’s first president in 1932 as promoted by Alexandria businessmen, albeit without the more lavish plans espoused nearly three decades earlier.
