                         Thank you to all of our all partners and to all grantees of the Program who have provided text and
                         materials for this catalogue.

                         This catalogue was developed for all agencies, organizations, and individuals interested in coastal
                         resource management issues and activities. We hope that in sharing coastal project information and
                         results, this catalogue will contribute to furthering coordination among Virginia's coastal resources
                         managers and enhance the education of the Virginia's citizens.

                                                  VIRGINIA'S COASTAL ENVIRONMENT


                                                  Virginia's "coastal zone" encompasses 44 Tidewater counties and cities and all
                                                  of the waters therein, and out to, the three mile Territorial Sea boundary.
                                                  This area includes all of Virginia's Atlantic coast watershed as well as parts of
                                                  the Chesapeake Bay and Albemarle- Pamlico Sound watersheds. Although
                                                  only 29 percent of Virginia's land area lies within our coastal zone (Tidewater
                                                  Virginia), this area is called home by more than 60 percent of the
                                                  Commonwealth's population. The Virginia shoreline is approximately 5,000                                                  miles in length and includes the four tidal rivers of Virginia (the Potomac,
                                                  Rappahannock, York, and James), the Chesapeake Bay, into which they drain,
                                                  and the Atlantic Ocean coastline.


                                                  Virginia's coastal area is diverse and extensive, with oceanfront shoreline,
                                                  estuaries, and tidal rivers, which reach as far as 100 miles inland. Within this
                                                  area, both natural and cultural features range widely from the wild,
                                                  undeveloped beaches of the barrier islands to the "hard" shoreline of
                                                  Hampton Roads' port facilities.

             VIRGINIA COASTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PROGRAM


             The Virginia Coastal Resources Management Program, commonly known as
             the Virginia Coastal Program, was established in 1986 as a network of existing
             state laws and policies through which the Commonwealth manages sand
             dunes, wetlands, underwater lands, fisheries, point and nonpoint source water
             pollution, air pollution, shoreline sar@itation and a variety of other areas of
             particular concern, *including coastal wildlife habitats, coastal public access,
             waterfront redevelopment, and underwater historic sites.

             These laws and policies are administered by:
             Virgiizia Marim Resources Ckmnissioi7. (VMRQ
                    Ocean and bay Fisheries Management, Subaqueous Lands
                    Management, Dunes Management, and Wetlands Management (Dunes
                    and wetlands permitting is carried out by local governments which have
                    adopted dunes and wetlands model ordinances.)

             The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) serves as lead agency for
             Virginia's networked Coastal Program and helps agencies and localities to
             develop and implement coordinated coastal policies.







                            Having a federally approved Coastal Program also authorizes Virginia to
                            require that federal actions in its coastal zone are consistent with the state's
                            Coastal Program.

                            Together, Virginia's localities, state agencies and the National Oceanic
                            and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Office of Coastal Resource
                            Management form an effective partnership.

                            Other agencies participating in the Program include the Virginia Department
                            of I-fistoric Resources (DFIR), the Chesapeake Bay Local Assistance
                            Department (CBLAD), the Virginia Department of Forestry (DOF), the
                            Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS), and the Virginia Department of
                            Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS).

                            As stated in Executive Order Number Twenty-Four (94), signed by Governor
                            Allen in June 1994, the goals of Virginia's Coastal Resources Management
                            Program 'include: the prevention of environmental pollution and protection of
                            public health; the prevention of damage to the Commonwealth's natural
                            resource base; the protection of public and private investment in the Coastal
                            Zone; the promotion of resources development and public recreation
                            opportunities; and the provision of technical assistance and information.

                              VIRGINIA COASTAL PROGRAM FUNDING

                              Virginia receives more than $2 million annually in federal funds through
                              NOAA's Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management under the
                              Coastal Zone Management Act (CZA/U) of 1972, as amended. These dollars
                              are equally matched by Virginia's state agencies and local governments.

                              Virginia has received financial assistance grants under Sections 306, 306A, 308,
                              309, and 6217 of the CZMA. These funds provide Virginia with the means to
                              carry out its goals of effective protection and careful development of.its
                              coastal areas. Section 306 allows funding for the implementation of Virginia's
                              Coastal Program, while Section 306A allows funding for the acquisition of fee
                              simple and other interests in land or low-cost construction projects, i.e. to
                              preserve important natural areas and improve or provide public access
                              through acquisition and/or construction. Section 308 allows funding for
                              projects which are regional 'in scope including interstate projects;
                              demonstration projects that have the potential for improving coastal
                              management, especially at the local level; emergency grants to address
                              unforeseen or disaster related circumstances; and projects to *investigate and
                              apply the public trust doctrine. Section 309 allows match-free funding for
                              coastal zone enhancement projects which create new enforceable policies in
                              any of nine identified areas. Section 6217 allows funding for development of
                              state coastal nonpoint source pollution programs. (Note: not all sections of
                              the Coastal Zone Management Act receive appropriations every year.) These
                              federal funds are made available to state agencies and local governments each
                              fall.

                        The Virginia Coastal Program has   used itsfunding to enhance the state's ability to manage coastal resources by Supporting coastal
                        technical professionals in Tidewater planning disnict commissions and local govel n7nents, as well as in state natural resource
                        age77cies.                Environmental Impact Review and Federal Consistency

                        Projects occurring in Virginia's Tidewater area, or Coastal Zone, must be consistent with Virginia's Coastal Resources
                        Management Program. The Virginia Coastal Program provides funding for positions in the Office of Environmental
                        hupact Review (EIR), located in the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality.

                        The primary function of EIR is to coordinate the State's response to the environmental impacts of proposed state and
                        federal projects. Project proposals are distributed for review to state agencies, planning districts and localities for com-
                        ment. After considering all comments received, EIR prepares a single state response. EIR receives the following types

                                                    Local Environmental Planning Assistance Program

                        Environmental planning assistance is provided through this program to local governments *in portions of Virginia's coastal
                        zone. This expertise is particularly important given the current rate of development in the coastal area, the current
                        demands placed on local government staff, and the resource constraints faced by many localities. Planning assistance is
                        made available through a network of local government liaisons who are assigned to work with Tidewater localities. The
                        range of technical assistance provided through this network includes help in preparing local zoning, subdivision, erosion
                        and sediment control, stormwater management ordinances, and comprehensive plans. The program also provides advi-
                        sory review and comment to local governments on proposed private development projects.

                                              Permit Compliance and Inspection

         The Virginia Marine Resources Commission (VMRC) is the Coastal Program's core agency responsible for issuing
         permits on encroachments in, on, or over state-owned submerged lands. The Comniission has had this regulatory
         authority since 1962, and currently processes approximately 2,000 applications, and issues nearly 500 permits annually.
         Virginia is only one of six "low-water states" and as such maintains ownership of all submerged lands channelward of the
         mean low water mark in tida I waters, and regulatory authority channelward of the ordinary high water mark on most
         naturally occurringnontidal perennial streams, creeks and rivers, In addition to managing the 1,472,000 acres of submerged
         lands, the Commission also regulates the use or development of tidal wetlands and coastal primary sand dunes pursuant
         to the provisions of Chapter 13 and 14 of Title 28.2 of the Code of Virginia. Local governments in Tidewater Virginia
         have the option of adopting and locally administering wetlands and dune zoning ordinances. VMRC maintains original
         jurisdiction in localities which have not adopted ordinances. Even if ordinances are locally adopted and implemented, the
         Conu-nission retains certain oversight responsibilities and reviews all decisions made by local wetlands boards.

         The Coastal Program has provided funding for the above VMRC activities since 1987. Funding began with the support
         of clerical positions, which concentrated on permit processing and historic permit data entry. In 1991, a study showed the
         need for strengthening permit compliance monitoring policies. The General Assembly then granted VMRIL the author-
         ity to issue restoration orders and to assess civil charges, and VMRC began the development and implementation of anew
         permit compliance inspection program. Additional environmental engineers, funded by the Coastal Program, were hired
         to carry out this work. Since the new authority measures and compliance program were put in place, compliance has
         increased significantly. In 1989, a random check of projects found only 51 % in compliance; by 1993, inspections revealed
         80% of all projects t@ be in compliance. V_MRC is currently working towards the goal of determining cumulative and
         secondary impacts of coastal development. The first step in making this determination is to geographically reference all
         permits. This work is underway.         Virginia Maiine Resources Commission

                                                Technical Assistance by Planning District Commissions

                       From 1986 until the FY 97 grant year, the Coastal Program allocated a portion of its award from NO.A-A to its eight
                       planning district cominissions in support of regional coastal technical assistance programs. Virginia's Tidewater planning
                       district commissions include: Accomack-Northampton PDC, Crater PDC, Hampton Roads PDC, Middle Peninsula
                       PDC, Northern Neck PDC, Northern Virginia PDC, the Rappahannock Ai ea PDC (RADCO), and Richmond Regional
                       PDC.


                       This technical assistance 'included various activities coordinated or provided by the PI)Cs to their member localities.
                       Funding also supported technical research and regional cooperative planning studies and initiatives at the PDC. The
                       continuing nature of the PDC Technical Assistance Program enabled the eight coastal PDCs to develop permanent staff
                       expertise in coastal and related environmental resource issues. Examples of past and current program activities at the
                       coastal PDCs include: cooperative regional programs in stormwater management, erosion and sediment control, wetlands
                       identification, and GIS development. The success of these programs is such that many localities in the PDCs are now
                       supporting expanded programs with significant local funding.

                       The PDCs provide techiiical assistance to local governments in areas such as comprehensive plan and ordinance devel-
                       opment, resource development and management planning, project and environuientalimpact reviews, grant writing, and
                       GIS development. PDCs coordinate participation 'in state agency activities, such as the development of state tributary
                       strategies. Regional assistance enables many localities to pursue more innovative and cooperative approaches.

                       The PDCs; support a variety of training activities for local government officials, citizens, industry, environmental orga-
                       nizations, and civic groups in the above-mentioned programs. The PDCs also serve as information clearinghouses and
                       environmental impact reviews.

                               Local Government Wetlands and Environmental Compliance

        Local government positions have been funded by the Coastal Program to assist localities in efforts to ensure compliance
        with local environmental programs. These programs primarily include tidal wetlands protection, erosion and sediment
        control, stormwater and floodplain management, site plan review and Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act activities. Two
        of these positions serve a regional area. The benefits of a regional environmental position includes: 1) flexibility to respond
        to the varying and changing needs of the county or counties served; 2) an ability to identify regional needs as well as local
        needs; 3) the sharing ofideas, methods and experiences betweencounties or locaiities;4) an efficient transfer of information
        among counties or localities; and 5) an increased number of site inspections and more consistent follow-up of noncompli-
        ance. These local environmental positions have also assisted in the coordination of regional environmental educational
        activities, including tidal wetlands training, and erosion and sediment control training. They have also helped improve
        interaction between state agencies and local government officials and citizens.

        The Northern Neck, a four-county region, is served by a Wetlands Engineer who rotates between the land use offices
        in Lancaster, Westmoreland, Northumberland and Richmond counties. The other Wetlands Engineer serves the Middle
        Peninsula counties of Essex, King and Queen and King William. The third position, an Environmental Enforcement
        Specialist for Middlesex County, supplies not only the types of assistance discussed above, but also provides technical
        support to the local Wetlands Board.

        Virginia's Coastal Zone is home to an impressive array of
        rare plant and animal species and natural communities -
         natural heritage resources." In order to sustain the region's
        economic growth without sacrificing its biodiversity, local
        and regional planners and decision-makers must have ac-
        cess to accurate, scientific information about natural
        heritage resources. This project produced 11        x 17" color
        maps showing the general location of natural heritage
        resources in relation to major roads and water bodies for
        each county and city 'in the coastal zone. These maps
        were distributed to planners *in each county, city, and Plan-                   <
        ning District Commission in the Coastal Zone. Thernaps
        streamline project planning and facilitate responsible
        growth, because they inform planners about those areas
        in which proposed activities and developments are less
        likely to impact documented natural heritage resources.
        The maps also alert planners to areas in which additional
        information will be needed to ensure that projects can be
        designed to avoid impacts.

        In 1994, 'in order to increase the availability and utility of
        natural heritage resources data, a Locality Liaison was
        funded to work with planners in Coastal Zone counties,
        cities, and Planning District Commissions. The Liaison
        informs the planners about the data and services of the
        DCR-Division of Natural Heritage, provides them with                                        Virginia Beach
        updatedmaps, reports anddigitaldata, andprovides prompt,
        detailed responses to requests for project reviews and
        natural heritage information. The Locality Liaison also
        works with other natural resource agencies, including the
        Army Corps of Engineers, the Chesapeake Bay Local
        Assistance Department and the Department of Game and
                                                                                                               W

        Island Fi heries, to facilitate access to more co * rehen-
        sive information early in planning processes. This project
        will be continued into 1997 with additional map and data
        updates, increased emphasis on presentations, and pilot
        assistance to localities in the identification of habitatresto-
        ration opportunities.

                                              An Assessment of Virginia's Underwater Cultural Resources

                        An assessment was made of known underwater cultural resources in an effort to determine their educational value and
                        how best to manage them. A total of 283 underwater sites are recorded in the files of the Virginia Department of Historic
                        Resources. These consist of 181 sites with historic components and 90 with prehistoric components; 14 others have not
                        been dated. 46 of the historic sites are "wrecks." Only three of the prehistoric sites appear to be fully submerged, as
                        most are eroding along shorelines. These statistics give a clear measure of how under-represented underwater historic
                        resources are in official records. Locational models and historical records target sensitive areas for unidentified submerged
                        sites. Future priorities should include surveys to inventory representative areas, commlitqments to the preservation and
                        management of important known sites, and a program of information exchange with watermen. This assessment was
                        prepared through a contractual agreement between the Virginia Department of Historic Resources and the College of
                        Wilharn and Mary Center for Archaeological Research. Management recommendations and strategies for sensitive
                        historic sites are proposed.

                      Distribution of Submerged Aquatic Vegetation in the Chesapeake Bay

       This on-going project recognizes that the monitoring of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) is necessary to assess the
       successof the Chesapeake Bay cleanup efforts. The Bay's SAV, or underwater grasses, are an important nursery ground
       for fish and crabs. Scientists have found that 30% more young crabs are found in areas with bay grass beds than in those
       areas without. These bay grasses also produce oxygen, reduce wave action, absorb the nutrient pollutants phosphorus
       and nitrogen, and trap sediments. In 1995, bay grasses shrank by 8% or 5,500 acres. This was a second annual decline for
       thism1portant indicator of Bay health. A possible cause for the losses may be increased sediments and nutrient pollution
       loads due to spring floods in 1@93 and M4. Yet, overall, acres of grasses are up 60% from their historic low in 1984. As
       of 1995, grasses covered almost 60,000 acres. In 1993, the Chesapeake Bay Program partners, including Virginia, agreed
       to restore grasses to the historic levels of the 1970's, about 114,000 acres'.

       In the latest annual report (published 1996), the distribution of submerged aquatic vegetation in the Chesapeake Bav, its
       tributaries, and Chincoteague Bay is mapped at a scale of 1:24,000 using black and white aerial photography. Appropriate
       ground observations are used to substantiate presence or absence of SAV in particular areas. SAV bed perimeter
       information is digitized and stored in a computerized data base.

              Conservation Action Plan for the Avian Communities of the Virginia Barrier Islands

        The Virginia barrier islands system has long been renowned for hosting large numbers of nesting, migrating and wintering
        colonial waterbirds,waterfowl, shorebirds, raptors, and songbirds. This system includes the barrier islands, the coastal
        bavs and salt marshes, and the mainland and associated marshes. It has experienced far less human disturbance than any
        o&r barrier island-salt marsh system on the Atlantic coast.

        The dynamic nature of the area makes it a unique and flourishing habitat for many of the avian species that are found
        here, but it also makes them much more subject to disturbances, both natural and human in origin. Numerous protection
        efforts have been initiated, including the establishment of refuges by federal, state, and private conservation groups.
        Virginia's barrier islands system has been designated as a "Man and the Biosphere Reserve" by the United Nations and
        by the Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network through its designation as an "International Shorebird Re-
        serve." The Virginia Coast Reserve, a preserve of 14 islands under protection of The Nature Conservancy, has been
        designated as one of its "Last Great Places."

        Although these efforts have gone a long way toward protecting this important natural resource, many threats place the
        avian communities in jeopardy. Threats include habitat loss and degradation, severe weather events, competition,
        predation, disease, contamination, disturbance, and water quality decline. This Conservation ActionPlan addresses these
        threats and contains information on the status and trends of the avian communities in the barrier island system. It offers
        a menu of recommendations for potential actions in management, research, monitoring, and education that have been
        evaluated in tern-is of priority, feasibility, costs, partnerships, and measurability. The goal of the Conservation Action Plan
        is to ensure the long-te?-7n. viability of the avia77 communities, species, and babitats in the Virginia banier islands system t&ough
        a parmership approach.

                        as wildlife habitat. The study determined that wetland or
                        salt marsh size, or area, is a key factor in the incidence,
                        abundance and species richness of marsh bird species. Area

				Habitat & Wildlife Management

         Production and Implementation of a Habitat
         Suitability Model for Breeding Bald Eagles
                 in the Lower Chesapeake Bay

         Historically the Bald Eagle was a common breeder along                    
         major river systems. Breeding populations were decimated
         in the 1960s by pesticides, but have been showing signs of
         recovery due to pesticide bans. The Bald Eagle is now,
         however, threatened by habitat loss due to urbanization.
         This project, implemented in two phases, first develops a
         breeding habitat model for use in delineating potential breed-
         ing areas, then as a tool to identify critical habitat areas.
         The model uses 80 macrohabitat variables divided among
         four categories, including: topography, land use, habitat/                                    Illustration by A Urbi Warts
         vegetation, and human disturbance. Uniting factors de-
         veloped from descriptive statistics are used to delineate and
         map the distribution of unusable and potential breeding
         habitat. Localities may use this information to steer land
         development in a direction conducive to eagle conserva-
         tion.                                                              The Bald Eagle of Virginia: An Information

             The Neotropical Migratory Songbird Coastal Corridor Study: Special Virginia Edition

        kepeated accounts of population declines for many neotropical migratory songbird species have awakened widespread
        concern and sparked national and international conservation initiatives. These birds, which summer in the northeastern
        U.S., "hopscotch" down the Atlantic coast each fall on their way to their winter grounds in the tropics. Two of the major
         stopover areas" are the tip of Virginia's Eastern Shore and Cape May, New Jersey.

        Inthefallof 1991, this study examined the distribution and habitat associations offall tnigrating land birds within the coastal
        regions of New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia. The Virginia Coastal Program brought together The Nature
        Conservancy and each state's Natural Heritage Program to conduct the study. Each weekend, hundreds of volunteers
        counted birds across transects M* the four state region. There were 487 survey sites and 12,000 point counts conducted
        August through October, resulting in a count of over 36,000 birds of 91 species.

        The finalreport contains data tables as well as extensive recommendations for land managers and private landowners from
        a regional and state perspective. It also suggests native trees, shrubs and vines to be used in landscaping that would benefit
        thesongbirds. Native plants, particularly dense understory shrubs, provide critical food cover during the stressful period
        of fall migration when birds need to store energy for their long flight. In addition, the Special Virginia Edition of the report
        contains a preliminary natural areas survey of Northampton and Accomack Counties.

                                          Conservation Plan for Marine Mammals and Sea Turtles in Virginia

                         This project developed a comprehensive plan to conserve sea turtles and marine mammals in Virginia. The plan
                         represents a cooperative private/public effort to identify, prioritize, and implement those steps necessary to conserve
                         these species in Virginia. Team members included representatives from Virginia state agencies, federal agencies, educa-
                         tional institutions, and conservation groups. The plan focuses on the most commonly occurring species of marine
                         mammals and sea turtles in Virginia, but encompasses all 35 species that have been recorded as live or stranded, since they
                         share common life history and habitatneeds while in Virginia waters. This *includes five species of sea turtles and 30species
                         of marine mammals, 13 of these imperiled. VMRC, DGEF, VLMS, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and the National
                         Marine Fisheries Service share responsibility for the protection and management of sea turtles and marine mammals in
                         Virginia.

                         The four objectives of the plan are: 1) Protect, manage, and enhance sea turtle and marine mammal populations by
                         assessing population status and trends as well as the fife historyneeds of these species utilizing Virginia's waters. 2) Protect,
                         manage, and enhance the habitats of sea turtles and marine mammals by identifying, documenting, and then minimizing
                         impacts to their habitats and populations. 3) Identify and coordinate existing roles, responsibilities, and activities of the
                         various parties and promote improved coordination. 4) Improve and promote education and public participation.

                         rine Mammals and Sea Turtles, Virginit7 Wildlife, January 1994-summarizes the results of the first phase of this
                         project. Essential baseline status information was summarized and the group identified gaps in the data, such as seasonal
                         distribution, abundance, and habitat utilization of sea turtles and mammalsmi the Chesapeake Bay and coastal waters. This
                         article fulfilled the groups'goal to disseminate information learned and developed throughout the effort. A companion
                         video was also produced.

                                           Turtles in Virginia

                         The sea turtle research program at the Virginia Institute
                         of Marine Science (VL\4S) has served as the National
                         Marine Fisheries Service Sea TurtleSalvage and Stranding
                         Network (STSSN) for Virginia since 1979. As such, the
                         VIMS program has in place an organized state stranding
                         network comprised of about 100 cooperating individuals
                         and agencies. When possible, dead stranded sea turtles are
                         identified, measured, weighed, and examined externally for
                         tags, unusual markings, and cause of death. Currently all
                         sea turtle stranding data are collected and summarized by
                         VIMS and data are analyzed for species composition and
                         age class 'in the Chesapeake Bay, cause of death, and loca-
                         tion of strandings. Any unusual stranding events are
                         monitored and reported to NINTS. The project's final
                         report contains bar graphs showing totals of strandings of
                         dead sea turtles per month for Virginia in 1996, the length
                         frequency of these turtles, and maps illustrating the loca-
                         tion of sea turtle strandings in 1996. A total of 195 dead sea
                         turtles were recorded in Virginia in 1996, including 176 log-
                         gerheads, 8 Kemp's ridleys, 5 leatherbacks, and 3 green sea
                         turtles, and 3) turtles that were unidentifiable. Of the 195
                         dead sea turtles, 12 fatalities were from propeller wounds,
                         3 from gunshot wounds, 2 from net/fishing fine entangle-
                         ment and the remaining 178 fatalities were from unknown
                         causes. During 1996,2 sick loggerheads and I sick Kemp's
                         ridley were treated, and only one was successfully rehabih-
                         tated. The two fatalities were caused by severe propeller         See Also:

                                                Kiptopeke State Park Boardwalk and Hawk Observatory

                        This project provided for the construction of handicapped-accessible elevated boardwalks, observation areas, a beach
                        bathhouse and interpretive exhibits, while ensuring the protection of the coastal forest and dune system on the southern
                        tip of Virginia's Eastern Shore.

                        Three elevated boardwalks, approximately 1,450 linear feet, provide environmentally safe access from the high bluffs of
                        the park to the shore of the Chesapeake Bay. They are designed with an elevation drop of 40-50 feet. The boardwalks
                        cross approximately 150 vards over a dune and dune grass system, their zigs and zags deftly avoiding rare plants. Two
                        of the boardwalks are designed to be handicapped- accessible. These boardwalks help protect over 80 acres of coastal
                        dune system, and provide birdwatchers access to a coastal forest important to migratory neotropical songbirds and birds
                        of prey.

                        As a result of this project, excellent access facilities were provided from the picnic area and natural area to the shore of
                        the Bay. The structures provide viewing areas of the Bay and interpretive signage, thus enhancing the experience of the
                        Park visitor. They also prevent the bank erosion and dune destruction which would have occurred if the public had made
                        its own way to the beach.

                        The handicapped-accessible hawk observatory is alsoextremely popular, and not only used by the general public, but also

        the lower, bayside of the Eastern Shore, is a timber walk-
        way constructed on concrete footings along an existing
        riprap and fill jetty. fEstorically, the rock jetty had been
        used by the railroad to park sleeping cars at night, so the
        passengers could hear the waves as they slept. In more
        recent years, the riprap jetty was used by the public for
        water access, which was especially dangerous when the
        rocks were wet and slippery. The jetty now provides safe
        public access for fishing ana viewing the Chesapeake Bay.

        A subsequent CoastalProgram grant provided for enhance-
        ments to the area immediately surrounding the pier.

        Electricity was brought out to the pier and turn-of-the-
        century lamp posts were installed along both sides of the
        walkway. In addition, play equipment was installed on the
        beach adjacent to the pier, and plants native to the Bay               W',
        were located near the pier's entrance. A third grant was
        awarded to expand upon the native species planting. An           Photo courtesy of N orthampton County

                        Wachapreague. Not only has the provision of a boat
                        ramp provided public recreational access to the coastal
                        bays and estuaries on the Altantic side of the Eastern Shore,
                        but it has also aided in the revitalization of a deteriorating
                        commercial waterfront. The town's harbor provides a
                        dock, piers, slips, and sanitary and electrical services.

                        The boat ramp is an eighty-foot long, 30-foot wide, con-

                        adjacent to the boat ramp to ease launching. A 120-foot              Public Access       &  Visual Assessment of the
                        bulkhead was constructed on the southern edge of the boat
                        ramp to prevent sedimentation of the ramp. Lastly, a 4,800-                         North Landing River

                             North Landing River Area Preserve/Alton's Creek Boardwalk

        This project provides pedestrian access from an interior parking area across alternating sections of upland forest and
        swamp to a viewing deck/canoe launch on Alton's Creek. It also permits canoeists and kayakers to further explore the
        10,000 acres of this preserve via the channels of Alton's Creek. A total of 895-feet of boardwalk-three swamp crossings,
        an observation spur, and viewing deck/canoe launch-was constructed. The boardwalks skim just 12-15 inches above the
        surface of the swamp. The low, open construction is visually unobtrusive, and permits the visitor to explore these
        wetlands with as few barriers as possible. This design is also an advantage to visitors carrying canoes or kayaks to the
        launch area.

        All of the lumber used for this project was recycled plastic, which provides a number of advantages in this envirorunent:
        1) rot resistance (product is guaranteed for 50 years against rot; 2) resistance to the growth of algae, i.e, less slippery than
        wood in moist conditions; 3) no preservative leachate CCA (chrornium, copper, and arsenic); 4) resistance to vandalism
        by carving or spray painting; 5) a very quiet walking surface as compared to wood. Because recycled plastic lumber is
        considerably less rigid than conventional wood lumber, this project was "overbuilt" to compensate. Posts (4" X 4") were
        driven with a sledge hanuner at intervals of approximately 5'- 6in every direction. Two (2" X S") crosspieces were
        through-bolted to each pair of posts. The decking was constructed of 2" )@6" lumber. Fasteners were 112" carriage bolts
        of varying lengths, and galvanized nails. Becuase plastic lumber is difficult to nail, a nail gun was used to fasten decking
        to stringers.                       Virginia Depin-nnent of Consey-vation and Recreation

Elizabeth River Nature & Canoe Trail

The Elizabeth River Nature and Coanoe Trail offers one mile of walking and two miles of paddling through tidal and freshwater marshes. Highlighting the unique natural and cultural history of the headwaters of the Elizabeth River, the interpretive trail is located in the Carolanne Farm Neighborhood Park, one of the last remaining undeveloped natural areas in a heavily populated area of Virginia Beach. Funding was provided for the design and constructive trail guide was also published. Numerous volunteers from the adjoining community assisted in the constructions of the trail and launch site. Future plans for the trail include construction of a waterfowl observation platform, designation as a part of the City's Scenic Waterway Systems, and restoration of tidal wetlands and forested buffers adjoining the trail site.

West Neck Creek Nature & Canoe Trail

This project funded the design and construction of an interpretative nature and canoe trail in West Neck Creek District Park, an undeveloped city park in Virginia Beach. This prak is located in a rural area of the city on West Neck Creek, which empties into the North Landing River. This project complements and forms a portion of a larger passive recreational park currently being planned by the City for an adjoining area. A trail guide was produced which highlights the unique ecological setting of the trail. Future plans for the trail include developing increased interpretive opportunities in conjunction with the nearby North Land River Natural Area Preserve.

Upper Reaches Canore Access Guide of 
Middlesex, King and Queen, Gloucester, and
Mathews Counties

The tidal rivers, bays and streams of the Middle Peninsula have been more heavily utilized for recreational and educational activities that the numerous upper reaches of creeks and streams. This laminated canoe access guide can be clipped to the side of a canoe. It not only provides maps detailing access points for canoes, but also interpretive information about the upper reaches of rivers and creeks in the Middle Peninsula. Each of the 12 laminated sheets contains interpretive highlighs of a single stream segment, including: Beaverdam Reservoir, Burnt Mill Creek, Hoskins Creek, Garden Creek, Pamunkey River, Rigby Island, West Island, Wilton Creek, Parrotts Creek, Poropotenk River, Occupacia Creek, and Mattaponi River. Additional sheets may be added in the future.

                        The Tidewater Low Country Almanacs are regional guides intended to promote environmentally-friendly living in the
                        home landscape of Virginia's coastal watersheds. The almanacs specifically target rural regions, which are often envi-
                        ronmentally-sensitive, and are grappling with development pressures. The almanacs carry a message of stewardship.

                        Each approximately 80-page guide includes a brief regional history overview, a natural resource primer, and a review of
                        the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act and other conservation initiatives in the Commonwealth. Several chapters are
                        devoted to the principles of conservation landscaping and followed by a regional native plants list for home planting. Also
                                            
                        included is a telephone directory to help citizens find the appropriate local, state, or federal agency contacts for assistance
                        on specific questions. The almanacs are popular for their "user-friendly" information and beautiful cover maps and
                        illustrations. To date, almanacs have been produced for Virginia's Middle Peninsula, Eastern Shore and Northern Neck.

                       popular among reserve visitors and are used as educational tools in Reserve education programs, as well as in educational
                       efforts by other coastal agencies throughout the Commonwealth.

        Bayscaping is an envirorn-nental education initiative devel-
        oped by the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay which teaches,
        through a series of workshops and publications, how to
        save time, energy, and money by using low-input landscape                           VV.6CJL+'
        management to protect the streams, rivers, and waters of
        the Chesapeake Bay. The five principles of Bayscaping
        are: practice conservation landscaping, conserve water,
        create diversity, use beneficial plants, and plan for the long-
        term.


        An extremely popular Bayscapes brochure was devel-
        oped, which introduces the broad concepts of Bayscaping
        in a general manner. Pull-out fact sheets discuss the fol-
        lowing topics: integrated pest management, long-term
        planning when planting, improving wildlife habitats, creat-
        ing diversity, using beneficial plants, conservation
        landscaping, and conserving water. The brochure also in-
        cludes a listingofplants beneficial to the Bay and our coastal
        waters, and guides the reader to other sources for more
        specific information. Reprintings funded by the Coastal
        Program and additional grants from a variety of sources
        has resulted in the distrbution of more than 40,000 copies of
        the Bayscapes brochure.                                                             NVironment Newsletter

                             Coastal Virginia Ecotour Guide Certification Training Program

        Local ecotour businesses introduce the commonwealth's natural resources to thousands of visitors each year. Ecotourism
        makes sense for coastal Virginia, and responsible, educated ecotour guides and ecotourists, and an "ecotourism code of
        ethics," could play a vital role in the future protection and health of our unique coastal ecosystems and cultural resources
        as well as in promoting sustainable development of a successful ecotourism industry. Ecotourism can help strengthen
        faltering local econonties through diversification and innovation. The keys to attaining this dual goal are communication,
        planning, and education.

        As currently conceptualized, a voluntary ecotour guide certification program would serve three fundamental purposes:
        1) protect shared natural resource capital from misuse caused by a simple lack of knowledge; 2) provide a valuable
        marketing edge to guides who earn an official "seal of approval" or certification logo; and 3) foster sustainable growth of
        Virginia's ecotourism industry by offering ecotourists high quality, educational experiences.

        A draft Ecotour Guide Certification Training Curriculum for Coastal Virginia was developed that includes three basic
        elements: 1) the role of ecotourismin coastal resource conservation and local economic development; 2) thenatural limits
        of sensitive resources and the need for a cooperative approach to protecting ecotourism's assets; and 3) a basic understand-
        ing of the natural history of coastal Virginia. The curriculum is divided into two parts. The first part details a three-day
        regional workshop which would focus primarily on the above elements (1) and (2) and secondarily on element (3). The
        second part consists of a series of locally-oriented field trips that highlight natural history (element). Included in this are
        outlines for three local field training excursions designed for the Eastern Shore.

        This draft curriculum also proposes the creation of an advocacy organization or association (it may be a private coop-
        erative, independent non-profit, or public-private partnership). This ecotounism association would provide new information
        to members, insuring quality among certified ecotour businesses, promoting certified operators, and protecting shared
        natural assets. To earn certification, ecotour businesses would be required to participate in a training workshop and a
        number of local field-based training excursions tailored to their bioregion. Mininium standards of operation would be
        required to maintain certification, as would participation in a continuing-education program.

        The Coastal Program has presented this curriculum and the voluntary ecotour guide certification program concept to
        ecotour guides and businesses, local governments and other state agencies 'in a series of meetings in the sumirier and fall
        of 1997. Discussions will continue *into 1998.

        Those polled also expressed a strong desire to save natural
        areas and open space. The poll showed that 88% of voters
        believe that if natural areas and open space are not saved
        now, they will be lost forever, and 93% believe that the
        natural areas of Virginia Beach are part of their heritage
        and the people owe it to their children and grandchildren
        to preserve it.                                                         See also:

                                            Hydrodynamics of Sediment Suspension
                                         in the Littoral Zone of the Lower York River

        The objective of this project was to develop a practical method of predicting suspended sediment loading in the shallow
        water of estuarine shorelines. These are regions in which bottom sediment, Mi the absence of vegetative cover and
        depending on grain sizes present, has the potential to be actively eroded and entrained in the water column by wind waves
        and/or currents. This process impacts water quality by promoting nutrient enrichment and by reducing the amount of
        light available to submerged aquatic vegetation which provides critical habitat.

        A program of field measurements-made in the spring-summer of 1995-evaluated both wave-driven loadings and current-
        driven loadings at two sites: Goodwin Islands and Catlett Islands. The resulting data were used to establish a working
        boundary-layer model capable of predicting time-varying vertical distribution of suspended sediment given local knowl-
        edge of sediment grain size, bottom roughness, wave direction and tidal flow parameters.

                                                                                                An interim report was published in

                                               A Special Area Management Plan for Northampton County

                        Northampton County, the southernmost county on Virginia's Eastern Shore, forms thegateway to the ChesapeakeBay.
                        It is a rural, agricultural county brimining with a wealth of umique natural and cultural resources, yet suffers from a
                        depressed economy and chronic unemployment. The county provides habitat to over 260 species of birds and countless
                        other fish and wildlife, and a chain of pristine barrier islands, the reasons for its designation as a World Biosphere Reserve
                        by the United Nations. The County's traditional settlement pattern of compact villages and towns surrounded by
                        productive land and water remains mitact and shoreline vegetation provides critical food and habitat for millions of
                        neotropical songbirds migrating along the East Coast each fall on their way to the topics.

                        Now in its sixth year, the plan was developed by the Virginia Coastal Program in December 1991 withmiput from federal
                        and state agencies, Northampton County planning staff, and nonprofit groups. The Northampton County Special Area
                        ManagementPlan(SAAU) became known and adopted by the county's citizens as the County's Sustainable Development
                        ActionStrategy. A Director of Sustainable Development, hired in 1993 by the Coastal Program, coordinates the SAMP's
                        county-wide activities, with the assistance of a Sustainable Development Task Force.

                        The Northampton SAMP has several goals: 1) to develop ne7v, enforceable policies to protect bird andfisb babitats and conn-ol
                        c-innulative and secondary impacts of coastal development by maintaining maximum vegetative coverfor 7rildlifie habitat and
                        ininient uptake; and 2) to develop new, sustainable indushies and protect a sense of place and quality of life, and to develop
                        responsible bei*age towism, aquamlture and other sustainable industfies. (continued on page 63)

       The Special Area Management Planning (SA-MP) propose        d modifications of County zoning and subdivision ordinances
       and development of a stormwater ordinance; development of seaside farm conservation easements; designation of Tier
       III or "Exceptional State Waters"; Memoranda of Understanding on appropriate public access, power line right-of-way
       and rural road standards to maxin-dze native vegetation; and permit guidelines for aquaculture.

       Habitat Protection a-dinances and Power Line Memorandum of Understanding (MOU): Zoning, subdivision and cluster
       development ordinances have all been written and are before the public. Although scientists recommended an overlay
       zone for migratory songbirds, County officials preferred County-wide ordinances because of the water quality benefits
       to be gained as well as habitat benefits from maximizing vegetative cover. Adoption of these ordinances has not yet come
       to a vote by the Board of Supervisors. MOU between Delmarva Power, Northampton County and the Virginia
       Department of Conservation and Recreation is being developed. Work 'in the 1996 grant will include: an inventory of rare
       plants occurring in the power fine rights-of-way, identification of best management practices to protect rare plants, and
       replanting grass areas with low-growing native vegetation beneficial to wildlife and water quality. These practices should
       reduce or eliminate the need for mowing and herbicide use.

       Water Quality Policies.- A stormwater ordinance has been drafted and is before the public for review. Early on it became
       clear that aquaculture would be precluded in Tier M "Exceptional Waters" under the Clean Water Act. "No additional
       discharges" included no discharges from aquaculture hatcheries. The citizen group working on this effort instead began
       work on a more tailored approach; i.e. exceptional waters conservation easements. A model easement is being developed
       that would preclude any new discharges from the property except for aquaculture and crab shedding.

       PublicAccessMemorandinn ofUnderstauding(MOU): Although an MOUhasnotyet beendrafted, progress has beenmade
       in setting the stage for an MOU to be readily accepted by the proposed signatories. The goal is to have major public
       landowners (USF&WS, Virginia state agencies and Northampton County) agree on where public access should be
       encouraged and discouraged; create an Ecotourism Code of Ethics and a volu'ntary Ecotour guide certification program.
       Section 306 funds have been awarded to the Department of Conservation and Recreation to complete a barrier island bird
       conservation plan and an ecotour guide certification curriculum for the Eastern Shore.

       Aquamlture Peninit (3iddelines: During the 1995 or 1996 grant year, progress began on aquaculture pennit guidelines. In
       1995 the General Assembly demonstrated the political will to act by requesting that the Virginia Marine Resources
       Cominission study its organic statutes and regulations to identify barriers to aquaculture development. In October 1996
       the CoastalProgram contracted with VMRC to use Section 309funds to develop a new permitting system for aquaculture.
       This work has just begun and will continue using Section 309 funds through FY'99.

       Development of the Northampton SAMP has led to the leveraging of nearly $3 million in additional funds from outside
       the Virginia Coastal Program. Northampton received grants from the U.S. Department of Transportation for ISTEA
       projects to restore historic sites and create a "Heritage Trail", from EPA for a brownfields/greenfields and habitat
       restoration project at the Cape Charles Eco-Industrial Park, and from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the
       Economic Development Authority for infrastructure construction at the park. Additionally, the Coastal Program
       secured a grant from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for a habitat preserve within the park, andis also funding habitat
       restoration and a boardwalk within the park's preserve. (1997 Task 54) The Northampton SAMP is expected to be
       completed by March of 1998.

                              Before songbird habitat protection policies could be developed for the Northampton SAMP, it was necessary to scientifically
                              document habitat needs. Two fall field seasons of population distribution data were collected and analyzed by Virginia's
                              Departments of Conservation and Recreation and Game & Inland Fisheries. This data shows that neotropical migratory
                              songbirds are most concentrated in the lower 10 km (6.5 miles) of the peninsula and stay within .5 kin (3.25 miles) of the
                              waterfront. Scientists recommended an overlay zone that would restrict removal of dense understory vegetation in this
                              area. Migratory songbird populations are highly dependent on dense understory for cover from predators. They also
                              forage in these understory areas for insects, fruits and seeds which provide them with the energy they need for their long
                              distance flights to the tropics.

            Virginia's Seaside Farms: A Conservation             Easement Program in Northampton County

        The Nature Conservancy's easement program is designed to help protect the seaside wetlands included in the SAMP by
        ensuring that appropriatemanagement measures are maintained on adjacent properties to provide buffers landward of
        the wetlands. Language was developed in this project for 10 seaside farm easements. The easernent language requires
        the maintenance of dense understories and water quality protection BA4Ps on the farm. They also demonstrate how a
        farmer could develop a few clustered residences or guest cottages on the property to derive additional income without
        jeopardizingnatural resources. When the properties are transferred, the easements will be recorded. A financial analysis
        model was developed and applied to illustrate that low impact development is an economically viable alternative for
        waterfront farms. A manual on developing seaside farm conservation easements was developed and is being used to
        encourage other seaside farm owners to record easements.

                                                 Southern Watershed Special Area Manage                  ment Plan

                       The Southern Watershed Area (SWA), located in Southeastern Virginia, is the focus of the Coastal Program's second
                       SAMP effort. The SWA is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean on the east and the Great Dismal Swamp on the west. The
                       northern portion of the area isdoniinated by urban land uses and is undergoing rapid development. The southern portion,
                       adjacent to the North Carolina border, is rural and contains extensive wetlands that include a variety of rare swamp,
                       pocosin and marsh communities, which drain into the southern portion of the Albermarle-Pamlico So@nd. Land uses in
                       the southern portion of the area are primarily agricultural, silvicultural and rural residential. The Northwest River is
                       the primary drinking water supply for the City of Chesapeake. The area is also one of the most biologically diverse
                       regionsinthe state, supportinginore than4Orare species and. 10 terrestrial, estuarine and palustrine wetlandcominunities.
                       In 1728, William Bryd described this area as a "green sea" due to its broad expanses of undulating, tall, green reeds.

                       The primary coastal management problem facing the SWA is the need to preserve its significant natural resources in the
                       face of an increasing population and development pressure. The bulk of the new development associated with this
                       population increase will take place in the SWA. As development pressures increase in the SWA, a coordinated effort to
                       manage the watershed is essential. The proposed Southern Watershed Special Area Management Plan (S.@,MP) will focus
                       on the development of new and enhanced enforceable policies that protect significant wetlands habitat and water quality.

                       The SWAMP seeks to minin-iize the adverse impact of continued urbanization on the natural resources of the SWA by
                       improving the range of tools available to Virginia Beach and Chesapeake to control new development. In addition, the
                       SWAMP will highlight the economic value of the natural resources through the investigation of several sustainable
                       economic development initiatives, including nature tourism and organic farming.

                       The Cities of Virginia Beach and Chesapeake, working in partnership with the Hampton Roads Planning District
                       Commission and the Coastal Program, have created a significant foundation for the Southern Watershed Management
                       Program (SWAI\4P). This work has included development of a mission statement and a set of goals and objectives. The
                       mission statement is as follows: "Natural resources, sensitive lands, and water supplies of the southern watersheds of
                       Virginia Beach and Chesapeake should be protected and enhanced." The goals include protection of water quality,
                       preservationof open lands, ensuring compatibility of economic development and natural resource protection, maintenance
                       of the rural character of the area, and preservation of agriculture and silviculture in the watershed.

                     A Special Area Management Plan for the Southern Watershed of Virginia

        To accomplish its management goals, the Southern Watershed Special Area Management Plan (SWSVMP) will involve
        the development ofseveral policies. These policies include: establishment ofcomprehensive mitigation strategies; refinement
        of preservation and conserva tion district provisions in the two cities; and development of memoranda of agreement among
        the agencies responsible for managing the southern watershed. The objectives of the memoranda are: to enhance a
        wildlife corridor system through conservation easements; develop a formal information exchange process; incorporate
        water quality data synthesized under the SAMPinto urban and agricultural stormwater B.MPs; and reduce waterway use
        conflicts. The SWAMP also includes research to support the policy changes, provisions for stakeholder involvement,
        and exploration of environmentally compatible industries such as nature tourism and sustainable agriculture. The
        following are key accomplishments of program to date; 1.) The creation of the Local Government Advisory Committee
        (LGAC) and the Water Quality Task Force (WQTF). These groups have fostered a strong working relationship among
        the entities responsible for managing the SWA. 2.) The development of a set of goals and objectives for the SWA as
        described on page 68. 3.)A Memorandum of Agreement(MOA) was signed by Chesapeake and Virginia Beach, formalizing
        the criteria for exchange of information on development projects in the SWA. In addition the MOA states that the two
        cities will support the previously mentioned goals and objectives for the SWA.

        The SWAMP will receive Virginia Coastal Program support through September of 2000.

                                                  Coastal Nonpoint Source Pollution Control Program

                       Development of the Virginia Coastal Nonpoint Source Pollution Control Program was initiated in the fall of 1992 in
                       response to Section 6217 of the Coastal Zone Act Reauthorization Amendments of 1990. This statute requires that states
                       with approved coastal resources management programs develop and implement coastalnonpoit source pollution control
                       programs. Federal guidance issued in January 1993 specified management measures for sources of nonpoint pollution. These
                       measures have to be implemented through state-enforceable laws and regulations in order for Virginia to continue to receive
                       NOAA funding.

                       State laws and regulations in Virginia were assessed and reviewed for their applicability to guidelines issued by NOAA and
                       EPA. A draft pro-ram document was submitted to NOAA and EPA in 1994. A series of public forums were attended by
                                         C
                       citizen and business gtoups, local and state representatives. Based on public input, and review comments from NOAA and
                       EPA, a final program document was developed and submitted in 1995.

                       In August 1997, NOAA and EPA issued final draft findings and conditional approval for Virginia's Coastal Nonpoint
                       Pollution Control Program pursuant to Section 6217 of the Coastal Zone Act Reauthorization Amendments of 1990. An
                       Environmental Assessmentwas also released which assesses the environmental impacts associated with program approval
                       and implementation. The Virginia program *includes management measures for agriculture, forestry, urban development,
                       marina and hydromodification nonpoint source categories, and for wetlands, riparian areas, and vegetated treatment
                       systems.

                       The Coninionwealth's proposed boundary for the 6217 management area was deemed sufficient to control the land or
                       water uses that have or are reasonably expected to have a significantimpacton Virginia's coastal waters. Thisboundary
                       mirrors the coastal management area, Tidewater (as defined by Virginia Code), stretching from Arlington to Chesapeake
                       and out to the Eastern Shore counties of Accomack and Northampton.

                       To receive approval of its program, Virginia will need to meet certain conditions, including 1) the development of a
                       monitoring plan to assess over time the efficacy of a coastal nonpoint program, and 2) final development of certain
                       program areas such as managementof on-site sewagedisposal, construction site chemical control and riparian restoration

                       Suitability of Precision Farming Technology in Virginia's Coastal Zone

        This purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential success of precision farming in the Coastal Zone of Virginia.
        Studies were preformed at eleven sites within the Coastal Zone to quantify the spatial variability in soil chemical param-
        eters; determine the optimum sampling strategies; evaluate impacts of precision farming on surface water quality; and
        compare economics of precision farining and conventional fanning systems.

        The soil chemical parameters (P,K, and pH) exhibited substantial spatial variability within each field as well as among
        various sites. In general, P values had the highest degrees of variabilities, compared to K and PH at each sites. Study results
        showed that the number of soil samples needed under precision fa rining depends on the confidence level and the expected
        deviations around the actual mean value of a soil parameter. More soil samples are required at higher confidence level
        and at smaller deviations around the actual mean values. Further, analysis indicated that the parameters with higher
        coefficient of variation (CV) were found to have smaller soil sampling intervals compared to those with lower Cvs. Due
        to practical and cost considerations, it may not always be possible to adopt different sampling intervals for different
        parameters. Therefore, for the region, a samplingmiterval of 328 ft. ils suggested for adequate characterization of P, K,
        and pH levels.

        The fertilizer rate required under precision farming would be approximately the same as under the uniform application
        system, but the fertilizer input distribution within a field would be different under the precision farming system. The
        spatially different distribution of fertilizer would prevent under- and over-application of fertilizer, and hence would
        improve fertilizer use efficiency. Results of AGNPS model, interfaced with the GIS, indicated a 12-25% reduction in N
        losses to surface water under precision farming, compared with the conventional farming system. However, further
        research needs to be conducted using continuous NPS model, which has crop growth and production components.
        Further study showed that precision farming produced higher net profits than the conventional farming system. Thenet
        profits under the precision farming increased with increased corn grain prices. Results also indicated that to demonstrate
        the profitability of precision farming, corn output analysis should be conducted along with fertilizers input analysis.

        This study demonstrates the potential benefits of the precision farming over the conventional farming systems. The N
        losses in surface water could substantially be reduced if precision farming is implemented in the field. The benefits of
        precision farming could be achieved only when an improved fertilizer application technology capable of applying variable
        rate would become available to farmers. However, results indicate that precision farming technology has great potential
        for improving the environmental and economic benefits in the Coastal Plains of Virginia.

                                                                Polecat Creek Watershed Project

                        Polecat Creek, located in Caroline County, Virginia, is a small watershed in the Chesapeake Bay drainage. Thissitewas
                        selected for a ten-year water quality monitoring project, beguni 1991 by the Chesapeake Bay Local Assistance Depart-
                        ment and the Council on the Environment (now the Department of Environment of Environmental Qua lity). Atthestart
                        of this monitoring project, this watershed was predominately rural and undeveloped but likely to see a substantial increase
                        in urban development during the ten year project period. About two-thirds of the watershed was designated as prmiary
                        growth area in the County's Comprehensive Plan. In addition, a regional wastewater treatment plant was going on-line,
                        and is currently servicing much of the area. In the last two years a number of development projects have been proposed,
                        and three have begun production. The primary goal of the project is to describe the efficacy of emerging land use
                        regulations and policies in protecting adjacent water quality from nonpoint source pollution during urban development
                        activities.


                        The three components of the monitoring program include: 1) a system of water quality monitoring networks that provide
                        quantitative information about chemical, physical, and biological parameters of surface and rain water. (temperature, pH,
                        dissolved nitrogen, conductivity, nutrients, sediment, and bacteria. Biological communities are assessed using EPA's Rapid
                        Bioassessment Protocol III (benthic macro invertebrate community structure) and an index of Biotic Integrity (fish
                        community structure). 2) a database of land use activities and land cover characteristics in the watershed is maintained, and
                        updated annually, and 3) a geographic information system (GIS) has beendeveloped, and provides a link between the water
                        quality data, the land use and land cover data and a digital geographic base map has been developed, which is being used
                        to assess monitoring data sets, and will be used to develop a nonpoint source pollution model for the watershed. TheGIS
                        also provides a way to identify potential links between water quality trends and activities on adjacent land.

                        Thus far, the project has shown that the water quality of the streams in the watershed is generally high. As the watershed
                        experiences development activitv, the project will track any changes in water quality which will help to determine the
                        effect of the Bay Act Program. The agency produces an annual newsletter to provide citizens in the Polecat Creek
                        Watershed and the general public with updates on the progress of the project.

          These maps are provide a general description of the a locality's Chesapeake Bay Pres-
          ervation Areas. They are consulted by regional resource managers and others prior to
          engaging in a regulated activity.

          Resource Preservation Areas (RPAs) are areas that are close to the shoreline, help to
          protect water quality, and are easily damaged by the impact of development. RPAs
          include tidal wetlands, tidal shores, nontidal wetlands connected by surface flow, and an
          any adjacent 100-foot vegetated buffer area.

          Resource Management Areas (RMAs) include additional floodplains, highly erodible                                                                     
          soils, steep slopes, highly permeable soils, nontidal wetlands, and similarly sensitive lands
          not included in the RPA. Intensely Developed Areas (IDAs) are also indicated where
          appropriate.

                         Critical Elements in the Application of Water Quality Standards to Wetlands: Classification
                               System, Beneficial Use Designation and the Identification of Exceptional Wetlands

                        The development and implementation of water quality standards for wetlands is essential to ensuring the protection and
                        enhancement of the Commonwealth's wetland resources. Water qua lity standards provide a link to other water quality
                        management activities, including the following provisions of the federal Clean Water Act: permitting under Sections 402
                        and4O4, control oftionpoint source pollution under Section 319, and water quality certification under Section401, (requiring
                        a certificate prior to any activity which may result in a discharge to state waters, also now called the Virginia Water
                        Protection Permit).

                        Existing state wetlands management programs in Virginia include a tidal wetlands program at V,\4RC and a water quality
                        permitting program at DEQ. The Commonwealth also conducts a tidal wetlands inventory program at VLMS, and has
                        a cooperative wetlands mapping program with the National Wetlands Inventory Program. The five basic steps required
                        in the process of applying state water quality standards regulations to wetlands include: inclusion of wetlands in the
                        definition of "state waters;" designation of uses; adoption of aesthetic criteria and appropriate numeric criteria; adoption
                        of narrative biological criteria; and the application of a state's antidegradation policy.

                        Currently, Virginia's comprehensive approach toward wetlands'water quality standards includes: wetlands classification;
                        the development of functional assessment techniques; a functional analysis and vegetative characterization of Virginia's
                        nontidal wetlands of the coastal zone; a review of current Virginia legislation, regulations and policy on wetlands and water
                        quality standards; and a review of the application of water quality standards to wetlands in o&r states. This report
                        discusses two possible approaches to wetlands classification and beneficial use designation: using existing water classifica-
                        tion systems, or developing a system specifically for wetlands.

                        This report proposes a wetlands classification system which specifically addresses the diverse and complex nature of
                        wetlands. It also discusses the incorporation of a wetlands classification scheme into Virginia Code in order to allow for
                        the recognition of the various beneficial uses of different wetlands classes. This scheme includes Exceptional Wetlands,
                        Riparian Wetlands (both Tidal and Nontidal), and Isolated Wetlands. Research continues to extend our current knowl-
                        edge of wetland functions and the relationsl@iips between structure and function. As these studies become available, the
                        proposed classification can be refined.
