Shoreline Management In Chesapeake Bay, C. Scott Hardaway Jr., Robert J. Byrne
Shoreline Management In Chesapeake Bay, C. Scott Hardaway Jr., Robert J. Byrne
Reports
This document describes and illustrates specific, practical responses to shoreline management issues. We will begin with a look at the evolution of the Chesapeake Bay and its ongoing, long-term processes. We will proceed to a discussion of the daily, physical mechanisms that affect shoreline change and the topics professionals address in evaluating sites. We will then discuss strategies for managing shorelines, such as bulkheads, seawalls, revetments, groins, breakwaters, beach nourishment, and marsh fringes, as well as taking no action. Finally, we will give you a framework to apply these ideas in terms of the physical environment at the site and …
New Developments In A Hazard Identification Algorithm For Hormone Receptor Ligands, Steven P. Bradbury, Ovanes Mekenyan, Nina Nikolova, Stoyan Karabunarliev, Gerald T. Ankley, Bjorn Hansen
New Developments In A Hazard Identification Algorithm For Hormone Receptor Ligands, Steven P. Bradbury, Ovanes Mekenyan, Nina Nikolova, Stoyan Karabunarliev, Gerald T. Ankley, Bjorn Hansen

Recently we described the Common REactivity PAttern (COREPA) technique to screen data sets of diverse structures for their ability to serve as ligands for steroid hormone receptors [1]. The approach identi®es and quanti®es similar global and local stereoelectronic characteristics associated with active ligands through a comparison of energeticallyreasonable conformer distributions for selected descriptors. For each stereoelectronic descriptor selected, discrete conformer distributions from a training set of ligands are evaluated and parameter ranges common for conformers from all the chemicals in the training set are identi®ed. The use of discrete partitions of parameter ranges to de®ne common reactivity patterns can, however, …
Biotransformation Of 4-Methoxyphenol In Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus Mykiss) Hepatic Microsomes, Steven P. Bradbury, R. Kolanczyk, P. Schmieder, T. Spizzo
Biotransformation Of 4-Methoxyphenol In Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus Mykiss) Hepatic Microsomes, Steven P. Bradbury, R. Kolanczyk, P. Schmieder, T. Spizzo
Steven P. Bradbury
Rainbow trout liver microsomes were used to study the O-demethylation and ring hydroxylation of 4-methoxyphenol (4-MP) (4-hydroxyanisole) at 11 and 25°C by directly measuring the production of the primary metabolite hydroquinone (HQ), 4-methoxycatechol (4-MCAT), and additional metabolites. An HPLC method with integrated ultraviolet (UV) and electrochemical detection (ECD) was developed for metabolite identification and quantification at low concentrations. Sample handling with appropriate buffers, solvents, low temperature and light prevented loss of extremely labile metabolites. Saturation kinetics for the production of HQ via O-demethylation of 4-MP (0.66–40 mM) was never achieved, with substrate solubility being the limiting factor. The linear rate …
Arizona Source Water Assessment Plan Final Draft, Arizona Department Of Environmental Quality
Arizona Source Water Assessment Plan Final Draft, Arizona Department Of Environmental Quality
Publications (WR)
The safe drinking water amendments of 1996 placed a strong emphasis on the goal to establish a nationwide effort to protect drinking water sources. As part of that goal, the legislation provided for a preliminary assessment of drinking water sources and an inventory of surrounding adjacent land use (ALUs). This nationwide effort will result in the first comprehensive look at the nation's drinking water sources from an assessment perspective. One of the outcomes of this nationwide assessment will be information that public water systems (PWSs) can use to help determine appropriate monitoring frequencies and to protect their sources of drinking …
Temporal Changes In Purity And Specific Activity Of Tritium-Labeled 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-Ρ-Dioxin: Radiopurity Model For Toxicology, Steven P. Bradbury, Joseph D. Fernandez, Philip M. Cook, Brian C. Butterworth
Temporal Changes In Purity And Specific Activity Of Tritium-Labeled 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-Ρ-Dioxin: Radiopurity Model For Toxicology, Steven P. Bradbury, Joseph D. Fernandez, Philip M. Cook, Brian C. Butterworth
Steven P. Bradbury
The specific activity (S) and radiopurity (R) of tritium labeled 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, [3H]TCDD, were measured by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/ MS) while attempting to accurately characterize TCDD doses received by invertebrates, fish, and fish embryos during several toxicology studies conducted over a 3 year period. The [3H]TCDD sample was found to consist of six TCDD analogues involving hydrogen, deuterium, and tritium substitution at the 1,6-dibenzo-p-dioxin carbon positions and a complex mixture of impurities (with and without tritium labels). Planar aromatic impurities were identified as tolyl- TCDD adducts and appeared to result from the decay of 3H radiolabels to produce TCDD carbocations …
New Testing Apparatus For Assessing Interactive Effects Of Suspended Solids And Chemical Stressors On Plankton Invertebrates, Steven P. Bradbury, Carl Herbrandson, Deborah L. Swackhamer
New Testing Apparatus For Assessing Interactive Effects Of Suspended Solids And Chemical Stressors On Plankton Invertebrates, Steven P. Bradbury, Carl Herbrandson, Deborah L. Swackhamer
Steven P. Bradbury
To better predict and interpret the responses of aquatic organisms to environmentally relevant chemical exposures, it is necessary to investigate the combined effects of physical (e.g., suspended solids) and chemical stressors. One of the limitations in investigating suspended solids–chemical interactions has been the lack of an appropriate testing system. The specific objective of the current study was to develop and assess a suspended solids testing apparatus (SSTA) for studies on the combined effects of suspended solids and chemicals on aquatic invertebrates. The SSTA was designed to permit the assessment of varying suspended solids concentrations on Daphnia magna at a constant …
Salinity And Hydrology Of The Fence Road Catchment : A Focus Catchment Of The Blackwood Basin, Ben Whitfield
Salinity And Hydrology Of The Fence Road Catchment : A Focus Catchment Of The Blackwood Basin, Ben Whitfield
Resource management technical reports
It is the clearing of native vegetation and replacement with lower water-use annual crops and pastures that is responsible for the developing salinity problem. Traditional farming practices have led to increased recharge to the groundwater systems resulting in increased storage and/or greater areas or rates of discharge. Groundwater monitoring has revealed variable rates of rise throughout the Fence Road catchment, from static to 0.6 metres per year, in a period of average to below average rainfall.

Using Spatial Systems To Establish Priorities For Catchment Management, David Deeley, David Weaver, J Hick
Conference papers and presentations
Priorities for catchment management can be established based on either, an objective assessment of relative priorities throughout the catchment, or by simply responding to crises associated with particular land uses and their sectional interests. While the latter method can have advantages in terms of establishing community good will, team cohesion, and a sense of achievement for particular sectional interests, it may have shortcomings in terms of a more objective and rational assessment of the relative magnitude and hence priority of land management problems. Spatial modelling using GIS can form the basis for developing a catchment-wide understanding of the relative importance …
