    Montgomery County’s efforts to repair stream environments damaged by inadequatelycontrolled stormwater runoff in the County’s older established watersheds

    Extractions: Text Version Home Help Site Map ... Montgomery County’s Commitment to Anacostia Watershed Restoration This report describes Montgomery County’s efforts to repair stream environments damaged by inadequately controlled stormwater runoff in the County’s older established watersheds. Illustrations of typical sedimentation and habitat loss damages are provided along with examples of remedial projects that have been built to restore habitat features and enable support to more diverse aquatic communities. Examples are provided of projects the Department of Environmental Protection has constructed or has under design in the Sligo Creek, Northwest Branch, Paint Branch, and Little Paint branch watersheds. These streams flow into the regional Anacostia watershed, where partnership watershed restoration efforts are being cooperatively pursued by Montgomery County, Prince George’s County, and the District of Columbia. The report presents information on number of stream restoration and stormwater retrofit projects that have been built or programmed to address problems in Montgomery County’s Anacostia tributaries, along with related information on funding, the number of stream miles restored, and watershed acres protected by new stormwater management controls. Watershed restoration is the process of returning damaged streams to conditions that are healthier, cleaner, and more natural for wildlife and aquatic life and people. Better streams and rivers means an improved quality of life for those who live, work, and play in the community. Restoring and rehabilitating streams brings many benefits to the entire county as well as to neighborhoods adjacent to streams.

    Extractions: In most coastal communities, the local "estuary" is called by another name: San Francisco Bay, Chesapeake Bay, Puget Sound, Boston Harbor, Cook Inlet all "estuaries." But what makes them so, and why are they important to the country and to the 110 million Americans who live near their shores? Estuaries are bodies of water along our coasts that are formed when fresh water from rivers flows into and mixes with salt water from the ocean. In estuaries, the fresh river water is blocked from streaming into the open ocean by either surrounding mainland, peninsulas, barrier islands, or fringing salt marshes. This mixing of fresh and salt water creates a unique environment that brims with life of all kinds a transition zone between the land and sea known as an estuary. The estuary gathers and holds an abundance of life-giving nutrients from the land and from the ocean, forming an ecosystem that contains more life per square inch than the richest Midwest farmland. Why are healthy estuaries important to us? Estuaries are a critical source for much of our ocean life. Their bounty forms a natural wonder that offers the more than 50% of Americans who live near estuaries, and the millions who visit, a wealth of recreational opportunities. Estuaries provide essential habitat for over 75 percent of our nation's commercial fish catch. Commercial and recreational fishing, boating and tourism also provide more than 28 million jobs. Fishing alone generates $111 billion yearly in economic activity.

    Extractions: ^ Click on the image. Background and Problem Our estuaries have been impacted by human activity for several centuries. In recent years public concern over the apparent poor health of many estuaries has been growing, and consequently have resulted in a proliferation of laws and regulations intended to protect our estuaries. However, only by carefully linking cause and effect can we develop appropriate, cost effective, focused remedies for correcting, modifying, or mitigating effects. Impacts on the Mt. Hope Bay Ecosystem: Climate Variability Habitat Loss/Change Natural Variations in Fish and Invertebrate Populations Biological Community Change Fishing Mortality and Other Impacts Our Vision for the MHBNL Strategic Goals: To develop a facility for the study of anthropogenic influences on estuaries in general.

The department-level Cooperative Conservation Initiative (CCI) brought about the development of two new Service initiatives: the Private Stewardship Grant (PSG) Program and the Landowner Incentive Program (LIP). Through slightly different channels these two programs provide grants and other assistance to individuals and groups engaged in local, private, and voluntary conservation efforts that benefit federally listed, proposed, or candidate species, or other at-risk species. Both programs are flexible and are open to all private landowners who have a desire to voluntarily manage for rare species on their land. The Ecological Services Program (Endangered Species and Habitat Conservation) works in partnership with public agencies, private organizations and landowners and operators with the goal of reducing threats to declining species. Its consultation and recovery elements include a wide range of management options designed to protect species while still allowing private economic development to proceed. The North American Wetlands Conservation Fund and associated program provide assistance to conserve wetland ecosystems, migratory waterfowl and other birds and other migratory fish and wildlife that depend upon wetlands. Through voluntary partnerships, federal funding leverages nonfederal funds for projects that focus on restoring wetlands and acquiring wetlands from willing sellers to be managed for wildlife conservation by private organizations or state and federal agencies.

    Extractions: Watersheds The area of land that drains into streams, lakes, estuaries or other bodies of water are known as watersheds. They are also known as drainage basins or catchments. As precipitation falls to the ground, the water is pulled downhill by gravity, which causes it to flow over the landscape or infiltrate through the soil into the groundwater. Topography - the hills, valleys, and other features that define the landscape - determine the boundaries of watersheds. Every stream, regardless of its size, has a watershed. Smaller watersheds are contained within larger watersheds. For example, the French Creek watershed in southeastern Pennsylvania is part of the Schuylkill watershed, which in turn is part of the Delaware River Watershed, which is part of the Delaware Bay watershed. No matter where you live, you live within a watershed. Just as you have a home and school address, you also have a watershed address.

    Extractions: research center will encompass Governor George E. Pataki has announced the selection of the City of Beacon in Dutchess County as the site of the world-class Rivers and Estuaries Center on the Hudson. The Governor also announced an additional $25.75 million in funding commitments for this center. The Rivers and Estuaries Center will advance understanding of rivers, estuaries and watersheds through integrated collaborative research and education designed to guide policy for conservation and management of these natural systems, from the Hudson to the rivers and estuaries of the world. Satellite facilities will be established in Rensselaer and Rockland counties by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University to further advance studies. Deming's Point Once fully operational, the center will be a scientific and research facility that offers educational programs, including seminars for teachers, students and citizen scientists. The complex will consist of a main office, conference center, docking facilities, classrooms, laboratories and residential hospitality buildings. A series of public lectures, forums and special events will be offered, using center staff and visiting professionals.
