              Hunting Creek is the largest watershed in the County encompassing approximately
              29 square miles of land. Within the watershed lies Prince Frederick Town Center
              and the location of the County Seat. Prince Frederick is one of the three Major
              Town Centers recognized in the County's Comprehensive Plan. These Major Town,
              Centers are expected to be centers of residential and commercial growth. As such,
              they potentially pose a threat to environmental quality. The Watershed Management
              Plan for the Hunting Creek watershed which includes about one-half of the Prince
              Frederick Town Center will identify, manage and protect the most sensitive natural
              resources in this watershed and would guide development in an environmentally
              sensitive manner.

              The Calvert County Comprehensive Plan (CCCP) has been the guiding force behind
              the planning efforts of the County. The authority for this document is provided by
              the Annotated Code of Maryland, Article 66B and its adoption by the Board of
              County Commissioners of Calvert County in 1983. The Comprehensive Plan outlines
              certain guidelines regarding the environment and growth management that pertain
              to the efforts in the Hunting Creek watershed.



              ENVIRONMENT


              The Comprehensive Plan clearly outlines its objectives regarding the protection of
              our County's natural resources:
                     1)     Protect those natural environmental features which will ensure
                            continuance of a healthy and pleasant place to live for current
                            residents and future generations.
                     2)     Foster greater public awareness, education, and support of
                            sensitive environmental concerns.
                     3)     Encourage environmental protection and wise use of natural
                            resources.
                     4)     Encourage regeneration of lost and/or damaged natural
                            environmental features ... (CCCP, 1983).
              The increase  in population and the expansion of developed land endangers the
              environment and threatens the health and safety of Calvert County citizens. Several
              Itprimary" environmental concerns have been identified. Many of these concerns are
              to be addressed in the Hunting Creek Watershed Management Plan.

              The protection and conservation of our ground water resources is critical to
              maintaining an affordable, pristine water supply. Infiltration of contaminants and
              excessive consumption will compromise our potable water supply. Surface waters
              have experienced a degradation in overall quality resulting in the loss of many
              aquatic species. Losses in wetland habitat has resulted in depriving the County of
              valuable flood and pollution control, and habitat for aquatic organisms, water fowl,
              and many other wildlife species (CCCP, 1983). Innovative approaches, such as

                      environmental education, waste water disposal techniques, woodland preservation,
                      Critical Natural Area zoning, etc., must be implemented to prevent further
                      degradations and provide for the restoration of damaged resources.



                      GROWTH MANAGEMENT


                      Growth management is an important environmental protection tool. It concentrates
                      growth in designated areas where pollution prevention systems exist or can be
                      provided (e.g. community sewerage systems, stormwater management devices) and
                      can relieve development pressures on farm, forest and environmentally sensitive land
                      outside of the, designated development areas.

                      Roads, public facilities including water and sewer systems may be planned for future
                      growth as opposed to retroactively responding to growth. Infill development of
                      partially developed regions leads toward more efficient use of existing facilities. The
                      location and type of new housing can be directed to satisfy the needs of the County.
                      Finally, the County may direct growth into designated development regions thus
                      alleviating pressure on agricultural and sensitive areas (CCCP, 1983).

                      Measuring the growth of a county can be interpreted many different ways. For this
                      reason, Calvert County has clearly defined their interpretation and reasons for
                      managing growth:
                             1)      Population growth is not a proper measure of the County's
                                     progress. Progress should be measured in terms of quality of
                                     life.
                             2)      Given a certain population level in a given area and growth
                                     rate, public and private services and facilities should be
                                     planned accordingly.
                             3)      Growth pressures will probably continue for the planning period
                                     of 10 to 20 years and perhaps longer.
                             4)      Growth is due to factors over which the county government can
                                     exert some influences.
                             5)      Growth can and should be dirixted and regulated by the
                                     County.
                             6)      Increased population growth often results in higher per-capita
                                     costs of government and public services.
                             7)      Unmanaged growth may adversely affect the quality of life by
                                     causing problems relating to health, safety and general welfare
                                     (CCCP, 1983).

                      The County     may manage growth through Zoning practices, the Agricultural
                      Preservation Plan, and through Official Mapping. Zoning regulates the placement,
                      category, and density of land use. Current zoning techniques are directed at

                                                                                  Draft Watershed Management Plan
                                                                                                        Page 3









             concentrating growth in Town Centers, most notably Prince Frederick. Amendments
             to the Zoning Ordinance or regional ordinances (i.e. Prince Frederick Zoning
             Ordinance, Huntingtown Zoning Ordinance, etc.) may be made as deemed
             necessary by County citizens and local government through the public hearing
             process. The Agricultural Preservation Plan allows for the transfer of development
             rights from agricultural land to specified receiving zones. This transfer places an
             easement on the agricultural land forbidding further development while the receiving
             zone may increase its density. The use of Official Mapping is used to a limited
             degree in Calvert County. Its main purpose is to promote orderly development in
             relation to the County's future plans (CCCP, 1983).

             Based on the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan, the County needs to
             develop procedures and regulations for planned and balanced growth and provide for
             the protection of the County's natural resources. The Hunting Creek Watershed
             Management Plan addresses both of these needs.

             SIZE AND LOCATION


             Hunting Creek is the largest watershed in Calvert County, encompassing nearly 29
             square miles of land. It is located in the central portion of the County and extends
             from its tidal mouth at the Patuxent River on the west to within a mile of the
             Chesapeake Bay on the east (Figure 1). The watershed topography is relatively flat
             and low near the mouth of the creek where there are abundant tidal wetlands and
             some nontidal wetlands. As the watershed rises in elevation to the east the
             topography develops into a dendritic system of ridges and valleys.

             The main highway through Calvert County, Rt. 2/4, bisects the watershed about a
             1/2 mile to the east of the head of tide. There is one major and one minor town
             center both of which are approximately half in the watershed. The major town
             center of Prince Frederick is located on the southeast portion of the watershed and
             the minor town center of Huntingtown is located on the north-central edge of the
             watershed.

              EXTENT OF WETLANDS


              Based on the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) Soil Survey of Calvert County and the
              Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) National Wetland Inventory
              (NWI), potential wetlands within the Hunting Creek watershed comprise 6.6%
              (NWI) to 11.2% (SCS survey) of the land. The discrepancy between these figures
              is the larger extent of potentially hydric soils than existing identified wetlands.
              Further details on the wetlands within the watershed may be found in the Hunting
              Creek Watershed Management Plan.


              [LAND USE]

              From colonial times until the mid 1960's the predominant land use in Calvert
              County was agriculture and forestry. About 1966 significant changes began to occur
              in land use patterns, and in developments affecting land use. Major highway
              improvements were started, several major residential subdivisions were opened, in-
              migration accelerated, bonds were sold for a major program of construction of new
              school facilities, plans were formulated for a County Industrial Park and other
              economic developments. During 1966-70 construction of the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear
              Power Plant was planned and started. In addition, construction of a plant for
              processing imported liquified natural gas (LNG) was begun. All of these factors
              contributed to a dramatic change in land use and pressured the County to take action
              regarding these changing conditions.


              Current land use, as of 1990, for the Hunting Creek watershed is depicted in Figure
              2. The majority of agricultural uses lie to the west of Route 2/4. Large tracts of
              continuous forested land lies to the east of this trafic corridor. Development seems
              to be concentrated within the Huntingtown and Prince Frederick Town Centers in
              addition to sporatic residencial subdevelopments scattered within the watershed.

              The watershed is comprised of 18,569 acres of land, of which 4,591 acres (25%) is
              cropland and pasture and 5,618 acres (30%) is forest. The portions of the town
              centers of Prince Frederick and Huntingtown which are in the watershed account for
              approximately _ acres (_%) and approximately _ of this is currently developed
              (_acres, _%). Institutional use within the Watershed which is outside of the Town
              Centers covers approximately _ acres (_%) and includes: schools @- Calvert High,
              Calvert Middle, Calvert Elementary, Calvert Country, Calverton; and County
              facilities - Calvert Pines Senior Center, Calvert County Jail and Treatment Center,
              County Maintenance Facility, recently completed and capped but unlined County
              Landfill, County compactor site for trash disposal and pick-up and slow-rate land
              application sewerage treatment plant.

                     The Twenty Year Land Use Plan emphasizes residential growth in towns and directs
                     commercial and multi-family development to Town Centers. Basic considerations in
                     the adoption of this policy were the protection of the natural environment,
                     maintenance of the lifestyle of the area, and the provision of adequate public
                     facilities. The County Comprehensive Plan identifies specific land use categories and
                     addresses ways and means of directing growth in these areas. In general, the
                     Comprehensive Plan proposes that growth should take place in and around existing
                     developed areas and that the Patuxent watershed should be restricted to low density
                     development.

                     The next logical step beyond the County Comprehensive Plan and the Town Center
                     Master Plans is the development of Watershed Management Plans tailored to the
                     individual needs of the communities within the County's watersheds. Work has been
                     initiated on developing Watershed Management Plans for the Hunting and Parker
                     Creek watersheds.

               GOALS AND ISSUES


               This management plan has been formulated based on the guidelines outlined in "A
               Guide for Developing Nontidal Wetlands Watershed Management Plans in
               Maryland," a draft document produced by Maryland Department of Natural
               Resources (DNR), Water Resources Administration (WRA). The following are
               goals and issues pertaining to the Hunting Creek Watershed Management Plan:

               1)     Protect natural resources

               The location of residential and commercial development as well as the location of
               sewerage and solid waste disposal in the Hunting Creek watershed have been
               identified and data has been collected on these development issues. Forest and tree
               preservation, limits to impervious surfaces, regional and site specific stormwater
               management approaches and sediment erosion control techniques will be addressed
               in the Plan for the purpose of preventing the deterioration of coastal resources. ne
               Plan shall identify the issues and concerns of Calvert citizens and government
               departments.

               2)     Facilitate economic development in town centers

               The draft Watershed Management Plan will be reviewed by local, state, and federal
               agencies as well as public review through the means of the Hunting Creek Watershed
               Task Force and eventually public hearing. It will thus reflect the diverse interests of
               the community and the final product should serve as an agreement among the
               residents of the community to develop the area in an environmentally sensitive
               manner. By following the guidelines in this watershed plan, developers will be
               facilitated in obtaining permits from state and federal agencies which should assist
               economic development.

               3)     Address wetland loss and mitigation on a watershed scale

               Field verifications of potential wetlands were conducted by'a private consultant for
               the region of Hunting Creek that lies within the Prince Frederick Town Center
               (Appendix B). Calvert County is pursuing the concept of a communication link
               between the County and wetland permitting agencies regarding the location and
               extent of wetland filling and mitigation within the Hunting Creek Watershed. This
               information would enable the County to amend corrections to its mapping efforts and
               provide data necessary to observing the effectiveness of this Plan.

               4)     Assure public health and safety

               Monitoring projects within the watershed will provide early warning signs should
               septic systems fail, and pollution reach unhealthy limits. A review of existing flood

                    hazard problems, and the potential of increased flood hazard due to development
                    (stormwater management, water impoundments) will be addressed should our efforts
                    petitioning the Army Corps of Engineers for a regional hydrological and hydraulic
                    study prove successful. In addition, measures to assure and protect water supply for
                    [fire protection and] human consumption will be included.

                    5)      Public Participation

                    Any form of management effort will fail without the input and support of the public.
                    For this reason the Hunting Creek Watershed Management Task Force was formed.
                    In their initial meetings issues regarding the creek were formulated:
                            1)    The effects of beavers, good or bad?
                            2)    Sediment control
                            3)    Stormwater management (hospital problem area)
                            4)    Education of homeowners

                            8)    Water pollution; pesticides, fertilizers (nutrients)
                            9)    Identification of establishment of baseline data (pesticides, toxics,
                                  acid rain, nutrients)
                            10)   Nutrient management (livestock on farms, lawn care)

                     NATURAL RESOURCE IDENTIFICATION


                     As part of the Watershed Management Plan, Calvert County has undergone a
                     campaign to locate and document its natural resources. In this process, the County
                     has documented and digitally mapped the extent and location of potential wetlands
                     within the watershed. The 'My' hydric soils identified in the Soil Survey of Calvert
                     County, published by the SCS, were placed on the County's flood insurance maps.

                                                                               Draft Watershed Management Plan
                                                                                                   Page 13










              Water supply concerns are being researched and addressed. The extent of forested
              land within the County has been documented and provisions have been made for its
              conservation. And finally, rare, threatened and endangered species habitat has
              been identified and regulations have been established for their protection through
              the provisions of the Critical Area program.


              WETLANDS


              Using the SCS Soil Survey of Calvert County and the DNR National Wetland
              Inventory, a map was generated identifying potential wetlands within the Hunting
              Creek watershed (reproduction enclosed, color copies are on display for use at the
              Department of Planning and Zoning of Calvert County, Maryland). The individual
              areas of both soil groups and wetlands were tabulated (Appendix A) and interpreted.
              It was determined that of the land that comprises the watershed, 6.6% was identfied
              as wetlands by the NWI and 11.2% was identified as potentially hydric by the SCS
              survey (inclusive of the identified wetlands). Figure 3 illustrates the percentage of
              land that is catagorized as potential wetlands.

              Regarding the SCS survey, of the potentailly hydric soils identified, 68.3% were
              clasified as "My" soils, 15.0% were clasified as "Sx" or "Tino soils, and the
              remaining 16.7% were "Ek, FsA, FsB, Gp, LmB, OtA, OtB" soil groups. T'he
              NWI has identified that of the wetlands within the watershed, 27.1% are estuarine,
              60.3% are palustrine forested, 5.7% are palustrine open water, 4.4% are palustrine
              emergent, and 2.5% are palustrine scrub or brush wetlands. These distributions are
              presented in Figur e*s 4 and 5.

               FLOODPLAINS


               Flood plain areas which are also wetlands are natural stormwater management
               devices, are rich in species diversity and often are the habitat of rare, threatened or
               endangered species. These areas are usually heavily vegetated with forests, scrub
               shrub plant associations, or emergent plant species and the soils are often hydric.
               Due to the presence of the hydric soils and vegetation the flood plains are excellent
               nutrient removal systems and thus reduce pollutants entering our waterways. Thus,
               the wetland flood plains provide an extremely valuable service to Calvert County
               citizens.


               Due to the value of wetland flood plains, development should be directed away from
               these areas. Development in non-wetland flood plains should also be discouraged
               as storm events (hurricanes and heavy rainstorms) may cause severe flooding in these
               areas. Loss of life and property during flooding is the result of improper placement
               and inadequate protection of structures in flood plain areas. Development in the 100
               yr flood plain (area where a flood is likely to occur on the average of once every 100
               years) is controlled by the Calvert County Flood Management Ordinance (updated
               in 1992). In Calvert County, the 100 yr. flood plain is defined as those area depicted
               on the Calvert County Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM), areas indicated by "My"
               soils in the Calvert County Soil Survey and areas adjacent to flood plains where the
               elevation is less than that of the 100 Yr. flood.



               WATER SUPPLY


               Calvert County is situated over a favorable geological formation of groundwater
               resources. Four major aquifers (the Piney Point, Nanjemoy, Aquia, and Magothy)
               supply nearly all of the County's potable water. In the region around Prince
               Frederick Town Center, these aquifers reside 150-250 (Nanjemoy), 400-500
               (Aquia), and 650-700 (Magothy) feet below sea level. The Piney Point aquifer
               develops further South in the County and around the Calvert Cliffs Facility, it
               resides at about 150-300 feet below sea level. At this location, the Nanjemoy and
               Piney Point formations are hydrologically connected and difficult to distinguish
               (DNR, 1987). The Piney Point aquifer does not seem to be used in the Hunting
               Creek Watershed and will not be addressed in this Plan. The depths of these
               formations in relation to specific well test sites, are demonstrated in Figure 6 for
               further clarification. The outcrop regions for these aquifers reside to the North and
               West of Calvert County as shown in Figure 7 for the Nanjemoy and Aquia
               formations, and Figure 8 for the Magothy formation. General groundwater flows
               of these aquifers are simplified in Figure 9.

                    HABITAT OF SPECIAL CONCERN


                    The Calvert County Comprehensive Plan encourages the preservation and
                    conservation of wildlife habitats.     The Critical Area Program has specific
                    requirements for activities in habitat protection areas and the Forest Conservation
                    Program identifies areas of important habitat value for rare, threatened and
                    endangered species as a priority area for retention.

                    The Maryland Department of Natural Resources has not identified any Federal or
                    State threatened or endangered species (plant or wildlife) within the watershed to
                    date. In 1984, a regional survey determining the extent and location of anadromous
                    fish spawning in the Patuxent River and its tributaries was completed. Graphic
                    representation of the findings are located in Figures 10 through 13. The report
                    identified that of the 19 streams sampled on the lower Patuxent, only two were sites
                    exhibiting river herring spawning: Cocktown Creek and Hunting Creek. Gravid
                    white perch were collected nearly six miles upstream in Hunting Creek, the furthest
                    upstream spawning recorded of the 19 streams. Yellow perch eggs and larvae were
                    recorded at the Route 2/4 crossing, only one of two tributaries of the 19 to express
                    this trait (O'Dell and Mower, 1984). The data concerning Hunting Creek has been
                    compiled in Table 1. This Plan will act as an Anadromous Fish Spawning Protection
                    Plan in addition to its other functions.

                     [FOREST COVER]

                     The CCCP recognizes the importance of forest cover in reducing runoff, inducing
                     groundwater recharge, minimizing flooding, reducing erosion and sedimentation and
                     in providing shelter and food for numerous species of wildlife. During January of
                     1993, Calvert County adopted a Forest Conservation Program which was enacted to
                     provide for the retention of existing forest cover while allowing development to
                     occur.


                     The Calvert County Critical Area Program, Calvert County Forest Conservation
                     Program and mandatory cluster provision of the Calvert County Zoning Ordinance
                     all recognize the'importance of large blocks of contiguous forests and riparian
                     forests. These areas are classified as potential Forest Interior Dwelling Bird Habitat.
                     Riparian forest has been defined as forested land, 300 feet in width or greater,
                     adjoining a body of water. Continuous blocks of 100 or more acres are considered
                     large block forests.     These same programs also address the importance of
                     maintaining greenways or habitat corridors. Relative to Hunting Creek, the Natural
                     Heritage Program, Department of Natural Resources has expressed in writing the
                     necessity of preserving these types of forested areas.

                     Calvert County is in the process of updating our forest cover maps from the
                     information being provided by the Forest Cover Inventory developed by DNR,
                     Forest, Park and Wildlife Service.



                     CUMULATIVE IMPACT ASSESSMENT


                     WETLANDS


                     As was stated earlier, Calvert County is pursuing the concept of a communication
                     link between the County and wetland permitting agencies regarding the location and
                     extent of wetland filling and mitigation within the Hunting Creek Watershed. This
                     information would enable the County to amend corrections to its mapping efforts and
                     provide data necessary to observing the effectiveness of this Plan.

                     In 1991, a wetland assessment was conducted in one tributary of the Hunting Creek
                     watershed that lies within the Prince Frederick Town Center (Appendix B). This
                     project is the only official wetland field verification that has been conducted by the
                     County for this watershed outside of wetland studies conducted with road plans in
                     the Town Center (available at the County).

                                                                                                       Page 29












               WATER SUPPLY


               Ground water usage in Calvert County is confined mainly to residential and small
               commercial units. Exceptions are the industrial demands of the Calvert Cliffs
               Nuclear Power Plant and the Cove Point LNG Plant. To date, the water reserve of
               the various aquifers has been more than sufficient to meet the daily requirements of
               the County. Specific capacities (gpm/ft) of the two major formations (Nanjemoy and
               Aquia Greensand) range from 0.6 in the north to 2.0 in the south. In the extreme
               southern tip of the County, specific capacity may range up to 5.0. Thus based on the
               successful experience to date with the ground water reserves, Calvert may expect to
               derive its water supply from ground water resources during at least the design period
               (up to year 2000) and most likely even further. However, the full extent of the
               ground water resources will not be known until the studies of the Magothy, Piney
               Point and Aquia aquifers are completed. For the purposes of this plan, it can
               reasonably be assumed that there are ample supplies of ground water which are of
               satisfactory chemical quality for most uses.

               Water quality in the aquifers lying beneath Calvert County is relatively good and in
               most cases it is suitable for consumption without treatment (DNR, 1987).
               Regulations governing the quality of drinking water in the State of Maryland are
               published as COMAR 10.17.03. The regulations set maximum contamination levels
               (MCL's); establish the monitoring frequency for certain bacteria, radiation, organic
               and inorganic chemicals; establish reporting procedures and require public
               notification in event of MCL violation by water suppliers as prescribed by the
               Federal Safe Dri nking Water Act (WSP, 1990).

               Few problems have been encountered in the County with reference to the quantity
               and quality of potable water available. Ground water is used exclusively for this
               purpose. There are in scattered instances of traces of H2S odor, iron and other
               minerals in the water. Removal of these traces is practical and feasible (WSP,
               1990).

               A greater concern exists in the demand placed on these aquifers. Water drawing
               permits issued by the Water Rights Division of DNR, increase every year. Table II
               provides the data on water drawing permits issued since 1986. Water is being
               removed from the aquifers at a rate greater than the aquifers ability to replenish
               itself. This results in "drawdowns" in the water levels within the aquifer (Chapelle
               & Drummond, 1983). According to a digital simulation run by DNR, by the year
               2000 based on 1980 pumpage, the water levels in the Piney Point/Nanjemoy aquifer
               in the region of Prince Frederick could drop as much as 10 feet (see Figure 14).
               Based on that same pumpage, water levels in the Aquia aquifer could drop 15 to 20
               feet by the year 2000 (see Figure 15). Even a single user of the Aquia aquifer may
               cause "drawdowns." Assuming Chalk Point Power Plant pumps 0.5 million gallons
               per day for 10 years, levels in the Aquia aquifer could drop as much as 30 feet for

                    residents in the Hunting Creek region as demonstrated in Figure 16 (Chapelle &
                    Drummond, 1983).

                    The League of Women Voters gathered materials on the County's water supply and
                    petitioned the Commissioners to form a Water Board for Calvert County. This
                    Board, composed of citizens and staff, meets periodically to discuss and outline
                    procedures for the conservation and protection of the County's groundwater
                    resources. The Board has identified several concerns and suggestions:
                    1)    Failing septic systems in some areas pose possible groundwater contamination
                          and health hazards.
                    2)    Need increased public education on use and care of such systems.
                    3)    The County lacks a back-up plan for ground water supply in case of
                          emergency.
                    4)    Maintenance of wells should not be a problem, but there is a need for public
                          eduction.
                    5)    Location and abandonment of old wells on property needs regulation. Should
                          be abandoned in conjunction with demolition permits or construction of new
                          well permits.
                    6)    Need formal performance restrictions on drilling companies. Also, spot
                          check on well grouting.
                    7)    Roll of small public systems in areas of small lots.
                    8)    Establish set policy to determine whether individual or community wells are
                          used where clustering is required. Pros and Cons.
                    9)    All large usage applicants be required to use deeper aquifers, leaving the
                          upper aquifers for residential use only.
                    10)   Should Calvert County establish Well Head Protection areas now?
                    11)   Need increased study of impact by the Planning Department and Developers
                          before projects are begun.
                    12)   Use of recycled water in both public and residential areas.

              [MONITORING]

              A summary of the monitoring projects within the Hunting Creek watershed has been
              completed by a representative of the Tri-County Council for Southern Maryland
              (Appendix D).      Information regarding the Maryland Department of the
              Environment's (MDE) water quality and macroinvertebrate sampling site is currently
              being compiled.


              SEDIMENT EROSION

              At the request of the department of Planning and Zoning, Maryland Department
              of the Environment (MDE), Sediment and Stormwater Management collected data
              on recent sediment pollution cases in the Hunting Creek watershed. Fox Run
              Shopping Center experienced very severe problems around July 3, 1990. Walmart
              Shopping Center contended with moderate problems around August 13, 1991. The
              Dale Bliss Property resulted in moderate problems between February 2 to March 12,
              1991. And unfortunately, the Westlake Townhomes experienced moderate to severe
              sediment problems around June 8, 1990 and September 17, 1991. The locations of
              these sites may be viewed in Figure 17. MDE has agreed to provide the County with
              further violations should they occur.

               surface, required reduction in pollutants and stormwater management requirements
               are also intended to maintain or improve water quality. Blue line streams in the
               Critical Area receive same 100 ft or extended buffer as for tidal waters. Blue line
               streams outside of the Critical Area require a 50 ft buffer with extension of the
               buffer for slopes greater than 25%. Non blue line streams or nontidal wetlands
               inside or outside of the Critical Area require 50 ft. buffers. Exceptions for crossings
               and stormwater management are provided. Reduction in these buffers can be
               granted under certain circumstances but are rarely granted during subdivision of land.

               Filling or destruction of wetlands may only occur if appropriate federal and State
               permits are obtained. Concept Plan approval from the Planning Commission for site
               plans shall be obtained before submitting for these permits for any filling of wetlands
               not permitted as either a road crossing and stormwater management. These permits
               will be required before final subdivision or site plan approval. Substantial alterations
               to subdivision or site plans that result from the federal and state permitting process,
               will make void existing preliminary approvals and will require resubmittal of the
               revised site plan or subdivision to the Planning and Zoning office for review by staff
               and reconsideration by the Planning Commission for preliminary approval. Land will
               not be subdivided in a manner that requires filling of wetlands for any activities
               except road crossing and stormwater management. Wetlands that are filled after
               receiving federal, state and county approval, will no longer be defined as wetlands
               and will not require wetland buffers.

               For development activities on existing lots that require federal or state wetland
               permits and do not require submittal of a site development plan, federal and state
               wetland permits will be required prior to issuance of'grading or building permits.
               Filling of wetlands for the construction of single-family detached residential dwellings
               will not be allowed. In addition, filling of wetlands in the 100 year flood plain as
               depicted on the FIRM maps or indicated as "My" soils on the Soil Survey Maps, for
               other than road crossings and stormwater management, will not be allowed.

               If it is determined prior to final approval, that more wetlands exist on the site than
               originally submitted, then the subdivision, site plan, building permit or grading permit
               will be resubmitted to reflect the additional wetlands and appropriate wetland
               buffers. If filling of these additional wetlands is being proposed, then any preliminary
               approval given by the Planning Commission will be made void and the revised

               Draft Watershed Management Plan
               Page 39









                     project will be resubmitted to the Planning and Zoning office for review by staff and
                     reconsideration by the Planning Commission for preliminary approval.

                     Wetlands will be defined and delineated by qualified professionals. For all site plans,
                     subdivisions, and grading and building permit applications that pertain to sites that
                     have wetlands on them, the wetlands and appropriate buffers shall be placed on the
                     plats and a wetland report submitted to confirm the delineation.

                     These wetland regulations are rather strong and the major potential for wetland loss,
                     other than as a result of road crossings or stormwater management, would be from
                     the filling of wetlands for the construction of multifamily housing in the Town of
                     Prince Frederick or from site plans in Prince Frederick, Huntingtown or other
                     institutional uses in the watershed. However, it should be noted that filling of
                     wetlands in the 100 yr. flood plain (including "My" soils) is not allowed.

                     Pollution entering the watershed is from both point and non-point sources. There
                     are very few potential point sources of pollution in the watershed. These could
                     include subsurface runoff of leachate of the completed County municipal, capped but
                     unlined landfill in Barstow and the slow rate land application sewerage treatment
                     plant in the same area. The sewerage treatment plant which utilizes spray irrigation
                     should not pollute either surface or groundwaters. Non-point source runoff of
                     sediment and nutrients, acid rain and atmospheric deposition of nitrogen and are the
                     other potential sources of pollutants.

                     The main issues relative to wetlands are loss of wetlands and wetland function
                     through filling or pollution, reduction in wetland buffers by the Planning Commission
                     or Board of Appeals, timber harvesting and farming activities in wetlands and the
                     effectiveness of wetland mitigation.

                     The County has established a strong        protection policy for wetlands and
                     waterways. Land application of sewerage is the preferred method of treatment and
                     is used in the treatment of municipal sewerage from Prince Frederick. The plant is
                     located within the Hunting Creek Watershed. In January, 1993 and based on the
                     recommendations of the small-lot subcommittee,* the Board of County Commissioners
                     of Calvert County enacted new regulations that require chambered septic tanks to
                     be used for all new and replacement septic tanks and that all lots must have one
                     primary and two secondary septage recovery areas in order to receive Health
                     Department approval to construct a home. If and when'these chambered tanks fail,
                     the septage backs up into the house rather than spilling into the drainfield and
                     eventually overland to our waterways.

               FLOODPLAINS


               Regulations governing development in and adjacent to the 100 yr. flood plains are
               designed to protect the flood plain values described above as well as property and
               lives of residents. Activities in the flood plain are regulated via the Calvert County
               Zoning Ordinance, Calvert County Flood Management Ordinance, and the Calvert
               County Subdivision Regulations.

               The main issues relative to flood plains are loss of wetland flood plains which is
               discussed under the section on wetlands above and loss of life and property during
               flood events.


               The County has established a successful flood management program which directs
               most new growth out of the flood plain and where allowed,      .requires appropriate
               construction techniques. The County has participated in the Community Rating
               System developed by the Federal Emergency Managment Administration (FEMA)
               to promote better flood management and has recieved a decrease in flood insurance
               rates for County citizens based on our flood management program. Our regulatory
               flood plain maps have been revised to show extension of the 100 yr. flood plain
               beyond the FIRM maps based on the presence of "My" soils.


               WATER SUPPLY

               Providing water services to present users and expanding that service to meet the
               needs of new users involves significant public expenditures. In the long run, costs of
               planning, designing and constructing new facilities may be reduced by a number of
               techniques to delay, or lengthen the interval between major water facility expansion.
               Such techniques include the provision of a reasonable excess capacity to meet later
               expansion needs, and adoption of policies to limit population growth (WSP, 1990).

               Another significant technique for reducing expansion costs which has recently
               received serious attention in this country is demand modification. The gallons of
               water a system must collect, treat and distribute is deitermined by the number of
               users and the gallons consumed by each user. Demand modification techniques
               would include approaches to reduce the number of gallons used by each consuming
               unit (WSP, 1990).

               In 1988, Calvert County initiated a Comprehensive, County-wide Water Conservation
               Program. The program is designed to reduce the per capita consumption of water by
               initiating a public information/public awareness campaign. In addition, all new
               development within any sanitary district or in any community system owned and
               operated by the County must use water conserving devices in accordance with the
               County Water and Sewer Plan (WSP, 1990).

               Draft Watershed Management Plan
               Page 40









                     Finally, the County approved a County-funded retro fit program for the Prince
                     Frederick Sanitary District to reduce consumption and extend available resources.
                     More efficient water use resulting from this plan would reduce water system
                     expansion costs, reduce costs in related services such as sewerage systems, and be
                     consistent with national policies of resource conservation. While Calvert County
                     does not foresee a shortage of potable water, the potential economic and
                     conservation benefits of demand modification indicate that careful consideration
                     should be given measures to accomplish such modifications in revisions of County
                     building and plumbing codes and related policies and regulations. Per capita
                     consumption is expected to continue to increase as the County makes the rural to
                     urban transition; however, as this transition is accomplished, demand modification
                     may be one method of stabilizing or reducing per capita water consumption in areas
                     served by community water systems (WSP, 1990).

                     It is necessary to obtain a well drilling permit from the Local Health Department
                     (Department of Environmental Health and Hygiene) for individual wells or for multi-
                     use or community water systems of two or more lots. In addition, a groundwater
                     appropriation permit must be secured from the Department of Natural Resources,
                     Water Resources Administration for all extractions of water (including residential,
                     commercial and industrial).      Generally, there are two exceptions where an
                     appropriation permit is not required; for farming purposes and domestic uses
                     (residential, not in a subdivision) (WSP, 1990).

                     Application for a permit to drill a well must be submitted by a master well driller or
                     well driver, licensed by the State Board of Well Drillers. Such permit is required for
                     construction of every well and every test hole which the well driller intends to
                     construct. Well construction work can not be started until a permit has been issued
                     (WSP, 1990).

                     With certain exceptions, a permit issued by VVRA is required prior to any
                     appropriation or uses of waters of the State (includes both surface and under ground
                     waters), or before construction of a building, plant, or structure which will
                     appropriate waters of the State. The exceptions not requiring an appropriation
                     permit include: Domestic use; Farm use; Use by any municipality for an approved
                     public water supply system, for those uses of water in effect on July 1, 1969; Use of
                     water in effect on January 1, 1934, if that use has not been abandoned; and
                     Appropriation of water to be used for fighting a fire. For applications for
                     appropriations in excess of 10,000 gallons per day, VVFRA will schedule and conduct
                     a public hearing in the Courthouse, Prince Frederick, to receive comments from
                     interested persons (WSP, 1990).

                     T11e holder of an appropriation or use permit may not transfer the permit without
                     WRA approval. The permittee shall notify the Water Resources Administration of
                     the name and address of the transferee accepts in writing all of the terms and

                                                                                Draft Watershed Management Plan
                                                                                                     Page 41










                conditions of the permit. Details of the requirements for these permits are contained
                in Water Resources Administration Regulation 08.05.02, Groundwater Rules and
                Regulations (WSP, 1990).



                HABITAT OF SPECIAL CONCERN


                The main issue relative to protection of wildlife habitat, is loss of the habitat through
                destruction of the habitat, decrease in quality of the habitat or through increased
                disturbance adjacent to the habitat which prohibits its use. Relative to anadromous
                fish spawning in the Creek, water quality and temperature are the most important
                factors.


                In the Critical Area (outlined in Figure 18), protective measures are provided for
                habitat districts for 1) threatened, and endangered species and species in need of
                conservation (includes bald eagles and certain tiger beetles); 2) plant and habitat
                overlays including natural heritage areas, State-listed species sites, locally significant
                habitats, and habitats for colonial nesting water birds and forest interior dwelling
                birds as well as waterfowl staging and concentration areas; and 3) anadromous fish
                propagation waters.      Outside of the Critical Areas, provisions are made to
                recognized critical natural areas and provide protection for them.

                Open water areas, around Hunting Creek, have been classified as Historic
                Waterfowl Staging and Concentration Areas. This restricts the construction of
                certain water-dependent facilities within these regions (see Figure 19).

                The County has implemented its Critical Area Program and in January of 1993 the
                County's Forest Conservation Program, Resource Preservation Overlay and
                Mandatory Clustering provisions were implemented. Together these regulations
                provide a very effect tool for the preservation of open space and important wildlife
                habitat.

                     FOREST COVER


                     Protective measures for maintaining the County's existing forest cover are based on
                     general conservation issues. Relative to forest conservation these are: the rapid loss
                     of forest in the watershed and Calvert County in general, the disruption of large
                     areas of contiguous forest or riparian forest which is important habitat to forest
                     interior dwelling birds, impacts of forestry activities, loss of champion trees, and loss
                     of mature forests.


                     In the Critical Area, within 1000 ft of tidal waters, tidal wetlands or heads of tide,
                     the Critical Area Program regulates forest conservation and provides the most
                     stringent restrictions on clearing and requirements for reforestation. Within the
                     Critical Area portion of the Hunting Creek Watershed, where there is no intensely
                     developed areas, clearing relative to development is restricted to a maximum of 30%
                     of the lot or parcel area or 6000 sq. ft., whichever is greatest, and at least 100%
                     replacement is required. If the forest area qualifies as a plant and wildlife habitat
                     protection area, then a habitat protection plan must be developed cooperatively
                     between the applicant, the County and the Department of Natural Resources before
                     a development plan can be approved. Wetland buffer areas are also protected.
                     These buffer areas are 100 ft. (which can be extended for slope) from tidal waters,
                     tidal wetlands and tributary streams and 50 ft. from nontidal wetlands.

                     Outside of the Critical Area, the Forest Conservation Program (FCP) regulates forest
                     removal and retention. Based on zoning, certain retention thresholds are set.
                     Depending on the amount of clearing in relation to the threshold, no, 100% or
                     greater than 100% replacement of forest is required. Priorities for forest retention
                     are set forth in the FCP and include forested wetlands and wetland buffers,
                     floodplains, steep slopes, large contiguous forest areas, endangered species habitat,
                     etc. Wetland buffers are 50 from blue line streams with extensions for steep slopes
                     and 50 ft. from non-blue line streams and wetlands.

                     The cluster provisions of the Zoning Ordinance direct development away from buffer
                     areas and large contiguous tracts of forest. These provisions apply inside and outside
                     of the Critical Area.

                     The County has implemented its Critical Area Program and has established a Critical
                     Area Reforestation Evaluation (CARE) Committee to direct reforestation efforts in
                     the Critical Area. In 1992, the County received an award for innovation from the
                     Chesapeake Bay Local Government Advisory Committee for its Critical Area
                     Reforestation Program. In January of 1993 both the County's Forest Conservation
                     Program and Mandatory Clustering provisions were implemented. Together these
                     regulations provide a very effect tool for forest conservation.

                OPEN SPACE

                Forests, farms, wetlands, stream valleys, cliffs, wildlife, parks and people all need
                space in Calvert County and there are only 140,000 acres to share. The trend has
                been for people. to claim first choice of available space destroying or not providing
                for the others in the process. But in recent years, a new land ethic has begun to
                emerge. We have begun to realize that it is not only possible but preferable to
                protect the natural resources of the water and the land. We do this, not from a
                sense of heavy moral obligation, but because we know that these resources are
                among the things we value most and enjoy (LPOSP, 1989).

                The purpose of the open space plan is to provide a policy framework for the
                preservation and management of:

                1.     Unique and sensitive natural areas within Calvert County and in particular
                       within the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area,
                2.     Productive forest land,
                3.     Productive agricultural land, and
                4.     Recreational open space and facilities.

                There is still a great deal of open space suitable for farming, forestry, wildlife habitat
                and recreation in Calvert County, but the trend has been for residential development
                to consume an increasingly larger share of total land area. As this trend continues,
                the amount of space available for farming, forestry, natural habitat and recreation
                will continue to decline (LPOSP, 1989). Based on preliminary evaluation of these
                trends, the citizens of Calvert County are attracted and remain within the County due
                to the rural character presented by the County's current and past appearences.
                One of the tasks of this project is to recommend revisions to land use regulations and
                local governmental activities that would promote the objectives of the plan and
                facilitate its implementation. Calvert County has been working on a number of
                regulations that will help protect the environment of Hunting Creek as well as that
                of the entire County.

                These regulations, designed to both preserve rurai character and protect the
                environment, were approved by the Board of County Commissioners and
                implementation began January 1, 1993. The new regulations include mandatory
                clustering in rural subdivisions, changes to our Agriculture Preservation Program
                including changes to the transfer development rights (TDR) regulations, and adding
                a new overlay zone to our rural zoned land.

                The overlay consists of three districts: Resource Preservation (RP), Farm
                Community (FC) and Rural Community (RUC). In the RP and FC districts, during
                subdivision 80% of the parcel must be preserved in "open space", no transfer zones
                are allowed and sending of transfer development rights from these areas is

                Draft Watershed Management Plan
                Page 46









                   encouraged. In the RUC district, during subdivision 50% of the parcel must be
                   preserved in "open space" and transfer zones are allowed.

                   These regulations should result in farm land and forest land being preserved due to
                   transfer of development rights out of the RP and FC areas and due to decreased
                   land development (maximum 20% developed in the RP and FC districts; maximum
                   developed 50% in the RUC district) if subdivided. Though density can be increased
                   in the RUC areas, only 50% of the area can be developed. The reduced
                   development area will result in reduced runoff. The increased "open space" will
                   decrease non-point source pollution and preserve farm land, rural character,
                   contiguous forested areas and wildlife habitat. The overlays of the three districts are
                   provided in Figure 20, as they pertain to the Hunting Creek Watershed.

                     FARM PLANNING


                     The objective of the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) Hunting Creek Watershed
                     Project is to demonstrate the positive results of soil conservation and water quality
                     plans, in addition to Best Management Practices (BMP) installation, on water
                     quality in the Hunting Creek Watershed. This project will result in an accurate
                     representation of the influence of agricultural programs offered through the Calvert
                     Soil Conservation District on non-point source pollution in the overall Patuxent River
                     Watershed.


                     The Hunting Creek Watershed is comprised of 18,569 acres of land, of which
                     10,209 acres (55%) designated as agricultural and forest lands. There are 4,591
                     acres of cropland and pasture contained within 182 individual parcels of land.
                     Presently 92 of these agricultural parcels have farm conservation plans but 42 of
                     these parcels need to have updated farm plans because they are greater than ten
                     years old. The other 90 agricultural parcel owners, who have never had a farm
                     conservation plan, need to be approached to explain to them the benefits of a soil
                     conservation and water quality plan and possible cost sharing programs being offered
                     in the installation of BMP's. Their contribution to the whole watershed project is
                     essential in showing that soil conservation plans, which have been in place for the
                     past 40 years, have made a significant impact on reducing the load of non-point
                     source pollutants (sediment, nutrients, etc.).

                     To assist in the implementation and update of new and old farm conservation plans,
                     Calvert Soil Conservation District received an EPA grant through the Maryland
                     Department of Agriculture to hire a farm planner to specifically address the
                     objectives of the project. This planner was hired in January 1993, to work on the
                     SCS Hunting Creek Watershed Project.

                     The funds provided, allow the farm planner to develop soil conservation and water
                     quality plans on 3,663 acres, or about one half of the updated plans and unplanned
                     agricultural land in the Hunting Creek Watershed. Funds are being pursued through
                     the Envirom-nental Protection Agency (EPA) and -other supporting agencies to
                     complete the other half of the project.


                     RECOMMENDATIONS


                     WETLANDS


                     1.     Maintain the existing policy of strong County regulations for the protection
                            of wetlands and waterways.




                                                                                Draft Watershed Management Plan
                                                                                                     Page 49










               2.     Conduct an analysis of wetland function to determine which wetlands are the
                      most valuable.


               3.     Work with the Maryland Office of Planning and their Non-point Source
                      Accounting and Assessment System to estimate the most important sources
                      of non-point source pollution in Hunting Creek and to test the effectiveness
                      of various land use controls and sensitive area protection measures in
                      reducing non-point source pollution.         Based on these results and
                      recommendations from the Hunting Creek Watershed Task Force, make
                      appropriate amendments to the Calvert County Zoning Ordinance and Prince
                      Frederick Zoning Ordinance. The Calvert County Water and Sewerage Plan
                      and the Open Space Plan may also have to be amended depending on the
                      forthcoming recommendations.

               4.     Support the Calvert County Soil Conservation efforts to complete and update
                      Farm Conservation Plans for all farms in the Hunting Creek watershed.

               5.     Identify from the wetland function model and location of rare, threatened and
                      endangered species what land areas should be preserved and identify possible
                      means for their preservation.

               6.     Develop a citizen education program to inform public of the value of wetlands
                      and clean water and the individual's role in preserving wetlands and
                      maintaining clean water.



               FLOODPLAINS


               1.     Continue to implement and improve our flood management program.

               2.     Have the revised regulatory flood plain maps entered into our computer
                      mapping system and offiwally adopted.

               3.     Work with the Army Corp of Engineers to conduct a flood plain study in all
                      or parts of Hunting Creek to update our FIRM maps and regulatory flood
                      plain maps and to provide information on projected flooding potential based
                      on current zoning and full build-out.

               4.     Identify all structures currently in the 100 yr. flood plain in Hunting Creek
                      and identify all flood plain areas in the watershed that are or will be
                      preserved in open space.

               5.     Notify owners of structures located in the flood plain of the potential hazards
                      and available protective measures that can be taken.

               Draft Watershed Management Plan
               Page 50









                      6.    Identify any road crossings that may be impacted by flooding and plan
                            corrective actions.



                      WATER SUPPLY


                      In the process of revising the Calvert County Water and Sewer Plan, the County is
                      recommending the development of a well-head protection plan.

                      1.    A possible amendment in this plan would require the capping of old or
                            abandoned wells on site should a new well be drilled.

                      2.    The amendments may include provisions increasing the required distances
                            between the well and potential contaminants such as septic fields, impervious
                            surfaces, storage tanks, etc.

                      These policies would prevent intrusions such as salt and pollutants into the confined
                      aquifers and maintain the integrity of these aquifers in supplying quality groundwater.


                      HABITAT OF SPECIAL CONCERN

                      1.    Work with DNR to develop an anddromous fish spawning stream plan for
                            Hunting Creek. This plan would become part of the Hunting Creek
                            Watershed Management Plan.

                      2.    Identify the most functionally valuable wetlands in the watershed and work
                            toward their protection and preservation.

                      3.    Work with DNR to develop a habitat protection plan for the Waterfowl
                            Staging and Concentration Area in Hunting Creek. This plan would become
                            part of the Hunting Creek Watershed Management Plan.

                      4.    Adopt protection measures for FIDs outside the Critical Area.


                      FOREST COVER


                      DNR has expressed the necessity in preserving riparian and large block forested
                      areas in the Hunting Creek watershed. These areas are classified as potential Forest
                      Interior Dwelling Bird Habitat. Riparian forest has been defined as forested land,
                      300 feet in width or greater, adjoining a body of water. Continuous blocks of 100
                      or more acres are considered large block forests. DNR also recommends Calvert
                      County to maintain existing contiguous forested land and when development occurs,

                                                                                 Draft Watershed Management Plan
                                                                                                       Page 51









               provide for the connection of forested habitat areas.

               1.    Once the forestry information has been received from DNR in digital format,
                     map the forest area for the watershed, determine its total area, and identify
                     potential forest interior dwelling bird habitat on the map.

               2.    Expand the protection for FID habitat outside of the Critical Area.

               3.    Measure the rate of forest loss in the watershed.


               4.    Determine how much reforestation has occurred in the watershed.


               5.    Estimate the amount of forest harvest activity in the watershed and its
                     potential environmental impact.

               6.    Promote reforestation efforts in the watershed.

                PURPOSE AND INTRODUCTION

                    The purpose of the Hunting Creek watershed wetland
                ;13sessment is to provide Calvert County planners with a rough
                 "roximation of the extent and location of jurisdiction of
                   @Adal wetlands, on various properties, within the town
                ce.- .-. This assessment is not intended to replace actual
                fie.   delineation    and    surveyed   locations.    An    actual
                delin---;:@-:ion would require the field implementation of the 1987
                Corps Manual. This methodology requires that three parameters
                be satisfied in order for an area to be classified as a
                jurisdictional wetland. The three parameters include the
                presence of wetland hydrology, hydric soils, and a dominance,
                50% or greater, coverage of hydrophytic vegetation. In making
                this approximation, the three parameter system was applied in
                a general form to the various more questionable areas at a
                number of locations along stream margins and swale bottoms.
                Soils were sampled and compared to the Munsell Color Chart.
                Munsell colors of two chroma or 1 chroma with mottles are
                considered hydric. Vegetation was identified and placed into
                either tree, sapling/shrubs, herbaceous, and woody vine
                categories. The three most dominant species in each category
                have been recorded on the enclosed data sheets with their
                appropriate indicator status. obvious signs of hydrology were
                noted, as well. If all three parameters are deemed to be
                present, then the area in question would be considered
                wetland. Contiguous wetland areas have been drawn, to the best
                of the field evaluator's ability, on a topographic map
                corresponding to the portions of land being evaluated. The
                properties evaluated were:

                properties not owned by Calvert County.









                    Calvert County Tax Map Number 24, indicating the
               properties evaluated, was overlain on a corresponding
               topographic map. Property lines are approximation based on
               limited information and will likely vary in reality. For the
               purposes of the study the lines should be sufficient. The maps
               were taken into the field and used to locate position and show
               point corresponding to data sheets. Maps and data sheets are
               enclosed in Appendix A.

                    The data sheets document the finding at each location and
               reasons for the determination made. Vegetation is broken into
               four categories: Trees, sapling/shrub, herbaceous, and woody
               vines. Within these categories the three most dominant species
               are listed by scientific name. Besides each of the species
               identified, the indicator status is listed. The indicator
               status is listed in Reed, P.B., Jr. 1988. National List of
               Plant Species That Occur In Wetlands: Northeast (Region 1).
               U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Biol. Rep. 88 (26.1). 111 pp.
               This publication cites species tolerance to anaerobic soil
               conditions found in wetlands. The classification hierarchy is
               designed to predict the chance of finding a particular species
               in a wetland. Indicator categories cited in the plant list
               are:
                    Indicator Categories

                    obligate Wetland (OBL). Occur most always (estimated
                    probability >99%) under natural conditions in wetlands.

                    Facultative Wetland (FACW). Usually occur in wetlands
                    (estimated probability 67%-99%), but occasionally found
                    in non wetlands.

                    Facultative (PAC). Equally likely to  occur in wetlands
                    or non wetlands (estimated probability 30-66%).

                    Facultative Upland (FACU). Usually occur in non wetlands
                    (estimated probability 67%-99%), but occasionally found
                    in wetlands (estimated probability 1%-33%).

                    obligate Upland (UPL). Occur in wetlands in another
                    region, but occur almost always (estimated     probability
                    > 99%) under natural conditions in non wetlands in the
                    region specified. If a species does not occur in wetlands
                    in any region, it is not listed on the National.List.










                    Under the 1987 Corps Manual (FAC-) or dryer indicators
                are not considered to be typically adapted to anaerobic soil
                conditions. Areas need to have 50% or greater dominance of
                FAC, FACW, and\or OBL species to be considered wetland.

                    Soil evaluations were made using a 2 1/2 inch bucket
                auger and extracting a sample to 12 inches in depth. The soils
                were evaluated for color and mottling, as well as other
                indicators of saturation. Color determinations were made by
                comparison to the Munsell Color Chart and findings were
                recorded on the data sheets. A copy of the county soil map has
                been included in Appendix A..

                    The maps show the overall rough determinations based on
                the data gathered in the field. Red areas indicate
                jurisdictional wetlands and waters of the United States.
                Yellow areas depict more questionable wetland calls. These
                areas would knowingly require more field time and a
                jurisdictional determination by the appropriate agencies.

                CONCLUSIONS

                     For the most part, the data sheets and maps conclude the
                findings as they were found in the field. It should be noted
                that during an actual delineation a mere comprehensive
                vegetative analysis would be done, and a greater number of
                soil samples are taken when defining the wetland/upland
                boundary. This analysis was an overview and much less time was
                spent at each location.

                     The question was raised, prior to the evaluation, as to
                the changes in the manuals used to identify and delineate non-
                tidal wetlands. The 1989 Federal Manual is no longer being
                used by the Army Corps of Engineers. In its place, the 1987
                Corps Manual is now being implemented. A 1991 manual is being
                reviewed, though its future implementation is unknown at this
                time. It was determined that in order to make a general
                determination on the site, the differences between manuals was
                not a major issue. The evaluation, though, was directed by the
                1987 Corps Manual methodology as there needed to be a set of
                criterion   for   making   a   determination.   The    inherent
                inaccuracies of a hand drawn line is overriding differences
                between manuals in most places.

           PHASE II PLANNING GRANT
           CALVERT COUNTY






           I.   PROJECT OBJECTIVE

           The objective of this project is to establish a nonpoint source
           nutrient management strategy for Calvert County. This strategy
           will be specific to the needs of Calvert County and be consistent
           with Calvert County's Comprehensive Plan. In addition, the
           strategy will be consistent with the Final Guidance Document
           produced by planning efforts of Phase II of the Patuxent Estuary
           Demonstration Project. The nutrient reduction goals of the
           "Maryland's Tributary Strategies" program will also be considered
           in the preparation of this strategy.

           Calvert County will also proceed to amend its Comprehensive Plan
           as required by the State of Maryland Economic Growth, Resources
           Protection, and Planning Act of 1992 including sensitive area
           protection components. Compliance with this act will assure
           reduced impacts of nutrient pollution on the waters and wetlands
           of Calvert County.



           II. WORK APPROACH


           The approach will be to identify the most effective ways to
           manage nonpoint source nutrient pollution in Calvert County and
           then to implement these management strategies as far as
           politically and economically feasible. Stream monitoring will be
           used to identify problem areas and to establish or continue
           baseline water quali ty data.


                A.   IDENTIFICATION OF MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES

           The results from the States modeling and assessment analyses of
           the Patuxent Estuary and from a detailed assessment analysis of a
           target watershed for Calvert County (i.e. Hunting Creek), will be
           used to identify the most efficient and effective management
           strategies for controlling nonpoint source nutrient pollution in
           Calvert County. The County will work in conjunction with the
           Maryland Office of Planning to evaluate the nutrient run-off
           characteristics in the Hunting Creek watershed using the State's
           Nonpoint Source Assessment and Accounting System (AAS).

           Calvert County will provide MOP with many of the environmental
           feature maps, and zoning maps of the Hunting Creek watershed for
           them to use in their GIS system and with their A-AS. Calvert
           County is proposing to purchasing a GIS system and will work with

          MOP to achieve a technology transfer of their mapping and
          analysis capabilities.

          During Phase I of the Patuxent Estuary Demonstration Project,
          Calvert County adopted (January 1, 1993) a number of growth
          management measures. These measures include mandatory
          clustering, overlay zoning of Resource Preservation Areas and
          Farm Community Areas and amendments to our Agriculture
          Preservation Program.

          The AAS analysis on Hunting Creek will investigate nutrient
          loading based on conditions before the adoption-of these growth
          management measures, after the adoption of these measures, and
          then with these measures and additional sensitive area
          components. These sensitive area components would include such
          approaches as increasing the extent of buffers, impervious
          surface limitations, mapping and protecting rare, threatened and
          endangered species habitat, etc. The results of these analyses
          will indicate how effective our growth management program might
          be at reducing nutrient loading from future development and which
          additional sensitive area elements should be considered. If the
          results are favorable, then our growth management program could
          be used as an example for other rural jurisdictions.

          Stream monitoring will continue in Calvert County. The County
          will support the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory's Solomons
          Harbor Study, 1993. In addition, stream monitoring on Hunting
          Creek and Hall's creek will continue and a volunteer monitoring
          program will be initiated in these watersheds.



               B.   IMPLEMENTATION


          Having identified the most efficient and effective methods of
          nonpoint source nutrient management using the analyses discussed
          above, the citizens of Calvert County and the Calvert County
          Government will begin to plan the implementation of the County's
          nonpoint source nutrient management strategy. Several planning
          approaches will be used.



                    1.   PATUXENT ESTUARY DEMONSTRATION PROJECT PLANNING


          Calvert County Staff will continue to serve on the Patuxent
          Estuary Demonstration Project "Planning Committee".
          Participation in the committee will include working on the
          refinement of the "Patuxent Estuary Demonstration Project
          Guidance Document".

                    2.   CALVERT COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING

           During the grant period, the Calvert County Comprehensive Plan
           will be amended to be consistent with the State of Maryland's
           Economic Growth, Resources Protection, and Planning Act of 1992
           including sensitive area protection components. Compliance with
           this act will assure reduced impacts of nutrient pollution on the
           waters and wetlands of Calvert County. Watershed management
           planning will also added to the Comprehensive Plan as a useful
           environmental planning tool.


                     3.   CALVERT COUNTY WATERSHED MANAGEMENT PLANNING

           Calvert County is in the process of developing (with support from
           the Maryland Coastal Zone Management Program) draft watershed
           management plans for two of its watersheds, Hunting Creek
           (tributary of the Patuxent River; draft completion, March 31,
           1993) and Parker Creek (tributary to the Chesapeake Bay; draft
           completion, September 30, 1993). These two creeks make up the
           entire watershed for the Major Town Center of Prince Frederick,
           the Calvert County Seat.

           A proposal has been submitted to the Maryland Coastal Zone
           Management program to compile the two plans into a single Prince
           Frederick Watershed Management Plan with Parker Creek and Hunting
           Creek components and to continue the watershed planning efforts
           on Parker Creek (see Attachment "A"). The goals of this plan
           will be to protect and preserve the environments of these
           watersheds, allow economic development and controlled growth and
           address the watershed concerns and issues raised by Calvert
           County citizens.

           It is proposed as part of this grant to continue the watershed
           planning efforts on Hunting Creek. Calvert County will work with
           MOP and the Hunting Creek Watershed Management Task Force
           (established in the Fall of 1992) to determine the most prudent
           and effective methods of solving the problems identified by the
           MOP evaluation discussed in II.A above and in achieving the goals
           of the Hunting Creek Watershed Management Plan. These measures
           will become part of the Prince Frederick Watershed Management
           Plan. The plan will be written to be certifiable by the Water
           Resources Administration (WRA) in the-Department of Natural
           Resources (DNR).

           Consultation will als o be made with all Federal, State and Local
           regulatory agencies to insure that the Watershed Management Plan
           is supported by them. At this stage the Plan, which will include
           proposed changes to other County plans and ordinances, will be

          taken to the public for  comment through public meetings,
          newspaper articles, and  distribution of the plan. It is
          anticipated that some of the measures proposed will have    only
          watershed-wide application while others would apply County-wide.
          It is expected that during the federal FY95 that the plan will go
          to public hearing before the Planning Commission and Board of
          County Commissioner for adoption.

                                  EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

          The objectives of this study are to proceed with the watershed
          management planning efforts on Parker Creek and to combine both
          the Parker Creek and Hunting Creek Watershed Management Plans
          into a single Prince Frederick Watershed Management Plan. These
          two creeks make up the entire watershed for the Major Town Center
          of Prince Frederick, the Calvert County Seat. The goals of this
          plan will be to protect and preserve the environments of these
          watersheds, allow economic development and controlled growth and
          address the watershed concerns and issues raised by Calvert
          County citizens.

          The combined plan will be written to be certifiable by the Water
          Resources Administration (WRA) in the Department of Natural
          Resources (DNR) and to be consistent with the State of Maryland
          Economic Growth, Resources Protection, and Planning Act of 1992
          including sensitive area protection components. The nutrient
          reduction goals of the "Maryland's Tributary Strategies" program
          will also be considered in the preparation of this plan.

          Calvert County has recently implemented a number of County-wide
          growth management measures. Jointly with the Maryland Office of
          Planning (MOP) we will evaluate the nutrient run-off
          characteristics in the Parker Creek watershed based on conditions
          before adoption of the growth management measures, with these
          measures, and then with additional sensitive area components. In
          addition, the County will work with DNR to identify and map any
          additional habitats of rare, threatened or endangered species in
          the watershed.

          Calvert County will work with MOP and the Parker Creek Watershed
          Management Task Force to determine the most prudent and effective
          methods of solving the problems identified by the MOP evaluation
          and in achieving the goals of this project. These measures will
          become part of the Prince Frederick Watershed Management Plan.

          Consultation will also be made with all Federal, State and Local
          regulatory agencies to insure that the Watershed Management Plan
          is supported by them. At this stage the Plan, which will include
          proposed changes to other County plans and ordinances, will be
          taken to the public for comment through public meetings,
          newspaper articles, and distribution of the plan. It is expected
          that during the federal FY95 that the plan will go to public
          hearing before the Planning Commission and Board of County
          Commissioner for adoption.

                                                    Introduction


                      The Hunting Creek watershed is a typical tributary of the Patuxent River in
                Calvert County that includes many diverse land uses. Its 29 square miles encompass
                about half of the Prince Frederick town center, as well as many square miles of rural
                residential housing, agricultural areas, and f orest. Hunting Creek was selected for
                study as part of the Patuxent River Demonstration Project because it is a good
                representation of the many land uses in the county. In addition to this stream
                survey, a detailed watershed management plan is being drafted to identify the
                natural resources in the watershed and provide for good management practices to
                protect those resources -

                      One important element of any watershed management plan is to know the
                quality of the waters in the creek and its tributaries. This stream survey was
                undertaken to gather the necessary water quality information for the watershed
                management effort. A further goal is that the information contained in this report
                will prove useful to governing officials and the general public for efforts to improve
                water quality in backyard streams, the Patuxent, and ultimately the Cheseapeake
                Bay.  A stream survey was completed on Hunting Creek in 1989 by the Tri-County
                Council, and much of this current study will build upon the work done in that
                survey (see Appendix A). That survey collected in one report data on soils, land
                uses, and sensitive areas in the watershed, and habitat and water quality
                information for twelve selected sampling sites. This report will attempt to add
                current water quality and habitat information for eight sampling sites.















                                           Previous Water Quality Data

                      Three major sources   of Hunting Creek data are available at this time. The
                most important is the comprehensive stream survey that was completed in 1989 by
                Michael Kakuska of the Tri-County Council for Southern Maryland. This study
                collected data on land use, erosion potential, sedimentation, buffers and stream
                substrate, in addition to water quality data on twelve sampling sites. Water quality
                data included nitrates and macroinvertebrate sampling, a good indicator of water
                quality over the long term. A summary of that data is presented in Table 1, while
                the rest of the report is attached in Appendix A.

                      The TCC survey was comprehensive in its scope to aid in locating specific
                problem areas in addition to assessing the overall quality of the stream. In general,
                this study found a variety of land uses and buffers immediately surrounding the
                stream, with mostly stable banks showing some natural erosion. Most of the stream
                beds showed sedimentation, with large amounts of sand and silt in the substrate
                covering any natural gravel bottoms. Algae and bacterial coatings on the streambed
                did not appear to be a problem in 1989. Only traces of nitrates were detected at most
                sites, and macroinvertebrates were generally present at levels that indicated good
                to fair water quality.

                      The second source of water quality and habitat data is the information
                collected through the county's environmental education program, ChesPax. High
                school students in environmental science classes study watershed management and
                water quality issues, and then spend a full day in the field filling out habitat
                assessment forms, testing water for chemical parameters, and sampling for
                macroinvertebrates in several stretches of stream. The data collected by these high
                school students is tabulated at the end of the day to provide them with a picture of
                the creek they sampled. The project coordinators have been saving this data for the
                last two years, yielding Hunting Creek data from the fall of 1991 and the spring and
                fall of 1992.

                      Reliability is not high with this data, but they are useful as background
                information for many of the stream sites this study will examine. Table 2 summarizes
                the habitat scores and macroinvertebrates count ratings for ChesPax sites that
                correspond to this survey's sampling sites. Table 3 shows data for additional sites
                in the Hunting Creek watershed that do not directly correspond to any of this
                survey's locations. Habitat scores ranged from poor to excellent, with most sites in
                the good and fair categories. Invertebrate index ratings were not as high, most
                being poor and only some fair.

                      ChesPax students also use LaMotte Company chemical test kits to test for
                dissolved oxygen, pH, phosphates and nitrates in the stream waters. These kits are
                colorimetric tests that utilize reagents to give a color to the sample which is then
                compared to standards to determine the measure. The students' results were fairly
                consistent with these test kits, showing good dissolved oxygen levels (usually 8-11
                ppm), even pH readings (usually 6.0-7.0), and almost no traces of nitrates or
                phosphates at any Hunting Creek site.

                                             Current Stream Conditions



                 Methods
                      Water quality and habitat assessment's were accomplished using three different
                 techniques to collect data on 8 selected sampling sites throughout the Hunting Creek
                 watershed. Only non-tidal, freshwater streams were sampled in this project to limit
                 the range of parameters needing analysis. The three main techniques were a habitat
                 assessment form, a macroinvertebrate assessment, and chemical tests for water
                 quality.

                       The habitat assessment form was developed in 1991 specifically for coastal
                 plain streams by a working group of USEPA Region III and distributed by MDE's
                 Project Heartbeat (see Appendix C). The form requires the user to make educated
                 judgements about factors such as sinuosity, instream habitat, pool variety,
                 sedimentation, bank stabUity and vegetation, shading, and buffer zones. This form
                 is slightly different than the form used by ChesPax, so habitat assessments are not
                 directly comparable between the two data sources. Also, the completion of this
                 survey by one primary individual means the scores for each sampling site are more
                 directly comparable than if different individuals did each site. In addition to the
                 assessment form, a one page form was used to collect information on water
                 appearance, bed composition, odors, algae, and streambed stability.

                       The macroinvertebrate count form used in this study was created by the Save
                 Our Streams program of the Izaak Walton League (see Appendix C). This form is
                 identical to the one used by ChesPax, so macroinvertebrate ratings are directly
                 comparable between these two sources. The basic theory behind this assessment is
                 that certain large insect larvae and other invertebrates are very sensitive to
                 pollution and thus are good indicator species. These creatures will take long periods
                 to recover from short-term pollution events,, so- their presence or absence can tell
                 us much about the long-term health of the creek, not just the water quality on the
                 day of the sampling. Mayflies, stoneflies and caddisflies are considered the best
                 indicators of high quality water and habitat. This form weights the presence of
                 these species more heavily than other species that can exist in fair to poor quality
                 water, resulting in a total numeric index that reflects long-term water and habitat
                 quality.

                       The third category of information collected was a set of chemical parameters
                 measured from water samples taken at each site. The Calvert County Water & Sewage
                 Division provided EPA-standard lab analysis on samples for the following
                 parameters: nitrate nitrogen, total kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN, measuring mainly
                 ammonia), total phosphates, pH, and fecal coliform. Clean sample bottles from the
                 Solomons Wastewater Treatment Facility laboratory were used to collect the water for
                 most of the chemical tests, and separate sterilized bottles were used to collect and
                 fix samples for the fecal coliform tests.

                       In addition to the laboratory analyses, dissolved oxygen (DO) was tested in
                 the field at some sampling stations. A LaMotte brand direct reading titrator test kit
                 was used with a process based on the Winkler reagent method. This test kit would
















                  not meet EPA standards for water analysis, but provides a fairly reliable result for
                  watershed management decision-making.

                          Nutrient sampling (nitrates, TKN, phosphates) are critical measures that can
                  detect pollution sources such as failed septic systems, contaminated stormwater
                  runoff , and agricultural overfertilization from crops and animal wastes. Water
                  characteristics such as PH and DO can also be indicators of pollution problems, PH
                  of acid precipitation and DO of nutrient contamination or other




                  Results

                          Hunting Creek is a fairly healthy network of streams with generally good water
                  quality and habitats, but poor macroinvertebrate counts show that some problems are
                  impacting the living resources in the creek. Some factors varied little from site to
                  site. For example, virtually no phosphates were discovered at any location, and PH
                  was a consistent 6.8-7.2. Varying individual results of assessment and testing are
                  discussed below for each sampling site. Table 4 that follows summarizes the
                  macroinvertebrate and habitat assessment ratings along with the chemical analyses.
                  Table 5 lists habitat factors in more detail for each site.


                  Site 1:

                          The first site sampled was in the county-owned lands behind the Calvert Pines
                  Senior Center near the headwaters of Mill Creek, a southern tributary to Hunting
                  Creek. The swampy, organic soils in the floodplain area were well vegetated with
                  forest and some shrub undergrowth. The habitat assessment gave this site a good
                  rating, but no prime indicator macroinvertebrates were found at all (stoneflies,
                  mayflies or caddisflies). The bed composition was mostly sand, which could be
                  partly responsible for the lack of insects. This site had the highest nitrate -nitro gen
                  and TKN levels found, but still only trace amounts were found. Fecal coliform
                  counts were within reasonable levels for a wpoded stream.



                  Site 2:

                          The unnamed tributary that flows behind Calvert Memorial Hospital has some
                  of the most developed drainage areas in the Hunting Creek watershed. This stream
                  runs immediately behind several large commercial developments before reaching the
                  back side of the hospital. Erosion damage and pollution from stormwater runoff from
                  impervious parking surfaces was obvious throughout this stretch of the stream. The
                  stormwater management structures built to prevent such damaging runoff have not
                  been maintained properly for all the parking lots, leading to large amounts of erosion
                  just above the stream and many pollutants in the stormwater entering directly into
                  the stream. The habitat assessment still arrived at a good score because of the well-
                  forested buffer area on the county-ow-ned lands behind the hospital, but the very
                  poor macroinvertebrate sampling indicates the level of sedimentation and pollution
                  at the site. Much of the stream bottom was silt and sand, likely from erosion at the
                  hospital and recent upstream commercial development.

                          Chemical indicators were no worse at this site than any other, with only a
















                   trace of nitrates and TKN and a low fecal coliform count. However,           the water itself
                   was slightly brown with an oily sheen and a slight musky smell, and most streambed
                   surfaces were covered with algae.



                   Site 3:

                          The Sewell Branch is a fairly large tributary that joins Hunting Creek from the
                   north just before passing under Routes 2-4. This was the one site sampled that
                   found large numbers and variety of insects, leading to a good invertebrate rating.
                   The habitat assessment turned in a good/excellent rating because of the relatively
                   untouched habitat in the flood plain with stable banks and good vegetation. The
                   stream bottom here was almost entirely silt however, partly a result of years of
                   agriculture and residential development upstream. The good macroinvertebrate
                   rating is because of the large numbers of insects found within leaf packs and other
                   organic matter masses, not because of a good gravel-sand substrate. Perhaps this
                   result indicates that the sedimentation is not as big a problem for the insect larvae
                   as other chemical pollution, factors for which this survey did not sample. Nitrate and
                   TKN levels do not seem to be causing a problem, and fecal coliform levels are within
                   the expected range.
                   Site 4: Mill Creek was sampled further downstream at the Stoakley Road crossing.
                   The area was dammed by beavers just prior to the sampling date, so the invertebrate
                   sampling and habitat assessment was not completed in the fall. [Will finish this
                   paragraph upon completion of those two forms next weekend. I



                          This site had the highest fecal coliform count of any site sampled, 109 MPN 1100
                   ml. This level could indicate a minor problem with a failed septic nearby, but it
                   could just as easily be from one or two farm animals or even a deer population
                   nearby.


                   Site 5:

                          Reits Branch, another tributary from the northern half of the watershed, was
                   sampled just south of Walton Road in a wooded ravine with several nearby farms and
                   some residential. The stream was heavily sedimented and very unstable, with no
                   gravel. visible at all.      The habitat assessment gave a good rating while the
                   macroinvetebrate count was poor. The water itself was carrying a good amount of
                   sediment, with some foam near a culvert exit. Nutrient. measurements were again
                   very low, as was the fecal coliform count.


                   Site 6:

                          The sampling site in the middle of the Hunting Creek Farms development is
                   downstream from the hospital on the same unnamed tributary.                      Habitat and
















                 macroinvert. sampling forthcoming.

                       Nutrient levels were very low,  as were the fecal coliform counts.


                 Site 7:

                       The mainstem of Hunting Creek was sampled near the middle of the freshwater
                 section south of Plum Point Road near the Plum Point Elementary School. The habitat
                 assessment gave a good I excellent rating, indicative of the large expanses of forest
                 surrounding the creek and extending all the way up the 100-foot steep stream valley
                 sides. Some crop fields and residential houses were scattered on the highlands
                 above this stream valley, but the mostly original forest is barely disturbed. The
                 macroinvertebrate count is only fair, despite the good general habitat, perhaps
                 because the streambed is entirely silt and very soft.

                       Dissolved oxygen was tested in the field at 10 ppm, an expected value for a
                 smaU tumbling stream. Nutrient tests revealed little of concern, and fecal coliforms
                 registered their lowest count at this site, perhaps a reflection of the great distance
                 between the stream and any human activities.
                 Site 8 -The upper reaches of the mainstem were sampled behind Emmanuuel Court.
                 Considerable residential development has occurred near the stream, but most places
                 have maintained a minimum 20-30 yard buffer of woods and shrubs. The habitat
                 assessment still showed good/excellent for the stream itself, but the
                 macroinvertebrate count was very poor. The stream bottom was entirely silt,
                 perhaps a function of the geology of the area instead of just sedimentation, however.
                 Fecal coliform. counts were slightly high (79 MPNJIOO ml), but the other nutrient
                 tests were very low. Dissolved oxygen was also an-expected 11 ppm.

                      Discussion

                              Despite fairly         low nutrient contamination levels and good habitats,
                      macroinvertebrate ratings were consistently low across all eight sampling sites.
                      Sedimentation, substrate problems, and toxic ehemicals are all potential causes for
                      the low invertebrate ratings, but it is not. possible to isolate the cause without
                      significant additional research. A literature search for studies of similar streams
                      could provide direction to which causes to focus on, but detailed, expensive chemical
                      anaylsis for toxic chemicals and other pollutants might be necessary.

                              Sedimentation seems to be the easiest culprit to blame for the lack of a healthy
                      insect community in the stream. However, the correlation is not necessarily strong
                      in this small sampling between the strongest invertebrate communities (Sites 3 and
                      7, Table 4) and the least sedimented sites (3 and 8, Table 5). The composition of the
                      substrate (silt, sand and gravel percentages on the stream bed) can also have a
                      major impact on the living resources, but, again, the best substrate with high gravel
                      levels (at sites 1 and 2) does not seem to correlate to the best insect communities (3
                      and 7).

                              Another related factor is the availability of instream habitat for small
                      invertebrates, such as undercut banks, logs, leaf packs, and other unmoving items
                      that trap pieces of detritus from the stream flow. This factor was assessed as one
                      element of the overall habitat assessment. This factor does correlate most closely
                      with the strength of the macroinvertebrate community of all the factors measured by










                     this survey, with sites 3, 7, and 8 having the best instream habitat for organisms
                     (Table 5). The question remains, however, what factors outside the streambed have
                     resulted in the better habitat inside the stream banks

                 Elements of Citizen Monitoring

                  Outline: I
                       Discuss general Volunteer monitoring requirements

                       1 .    Clear goals for program   and purpose for data: should it be to collect
                 data, or simply to educate the citizen monitors to be more   environmentally aware?

                       2.     Decide what quality data needed, therefore what kind of testing
                 (quantitative vs. qualitative) and how to supervise, etc.

                       3.     Create budget for testing equipment, staff time for organizing program,
                 and balance costs with benefits.

                       4.     Develop program to train and monitor the work of the volunteers. Make
                 sure to provide for feedback for volunteers so they can see the use of the data they
                 collect.



                       5.




                 Applicability to Hunting Creek

                       Discuss number of sites, number of volunteers potentially necessary, methods
                 of organizing and contacting, potential timetables if decide to pursue in coming year,
                 etc.

                                                    Conclusion


              - According to simple chemical measures, Hunting Creek is a very clean stream.
              However, the relatively low presence of the best indicator macroinvertebrates shows
              that at least some features of the natural stream are being negatively affected by
              human development. Further research should locate information on historic levels
              of macroinvertebrates on streams of this kind in the coastal plain, even though data
              on Hunting Creek itself may not be available. This data would give a better
              perspective on how unusual such insect communities are for this part of the country.


              - Instream habitat and sedimentation seem to be most important factors that correlate
              to healthy macroinvertebrate communities. Need to examine what other causes are
              affecting those two factors to be able to improve instream. habitat. Generally,
              increased sedimentation from urban development and improper agricultural
              practices, even from short-term events, can create large sedimentation and related
              erosion problems far downstream. This sedimentation and erosion also destroys or
              moves the stable instream elements (banks, logs) that catch detritus and create a
              good environment for the insects and other life forms. The magnitude of wooded
              buffer zones around a stream is also a likely factor that affects the amount of organic
              detritus that enters the stream to create this good habitat.
