Evaluating The Contribution Of Groundwater To Wetland Water Budgets Central Piedmont Virginia, Kerby Morgan Dobbs

OES Theses and Dissertations

In the Piedmont region of Virginia, development pressures are increasing the demand for mitigation wetlands but appropriate construction sites are relatively scarce due to local topography and geology. Many existing water budget models used for planned mitigation sites exhibit considerable error when estimating groundwater fluxes, particularly for historical years that lack hydraulic head data. This difficulty has led many planners to neglect or underestimate the contribution of groundwater to wetland water budgets, resulting in mitigation sites that fail to create the appropriate hydrology for the desired vegetation community. However, reliable estimations of groundwater input contributing to wetland water budgets can …

Virginia Boating Plan And Access Needs Assessment, Thomas J. Murray

Reports

In an effort to support Virginia's application for federal grant funds under the Department of Interior's "Boating Infrastructure Grant Program" (Grants), the Marina Technical Advisory Program (MT AP) at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science has undertaken assessment of the state's recreational boating infrastructure needs. 1 A total of $32 million has been authorized over four years to fund this new program. It is designed to help states develop and maintain facilities for transient non-trailerable (26' and over) recreational boats. The Virginia Department of Health (VDOH) has provided overall leadership in the Boating Infrastructure Grants process and has been supported …

Evaluation Of Comparative Watercraft Personal Property Taxation In Middle Peninsula Localities, Thomas J. Murray

Reports

The Marine Business and Coastal Development Program, Sea Grant Marine Advisory Services at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science, (VIMS) has completed a characterization of the personal property taxing methodologies currently used by Middle Peninsula localities. In conjunction with the Middle Peninsula Planning District Commission's (MPPDC) Coastal Technical Assistance Program, the investigation details the following information:

1. Documentation of the watercraft taxing methodology currently used in the MPPDC counties of Gloucester, Mathews, Middlesex, King and Queen, King William, and Essex County.

2. A comparison of resulting taxes assessed by each of the MPPDC localities on some "standardized" boats.

3. A …
