Management Practice Evaluation For Urban Areas In The Hampton Roads Vicinity: A Report To Hampton Roads Water Quality Agency, Gary F. Anderson, Bruce J. Neilson, Donald H. Campbell

Reports

Data was collected by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science from study sites in the designated Hampton Roads 208 area, and information from other studies published in the literature were used to examine the change in pollutant loadings brought about by the presence of management practices in urban test watersheds. The focus was on nutrients, BOD, and suspended solids.

Ware River Intensive Watershed Study - Part 2. Estuarine Receiving Water Quality, Cindy Bosco, Gary F. Anderson, Bruce Neilson

Reports

The Ware River Intensive Watershed Study contains results of runoff from small catchments, instream transport of runoff and the impacts on estuarine water quality, which are contained in two volumes: 1. Nonpoint Source Pollution and 2. Estuarine Receiving Water Quality

Estuarine Studies: The Ware River is a relatively "clean" estuarine system. However, during summer months some of the nutrients, particularly inorganic phosphorous and organic nitrogen, achieve levels associated with moderate enrichment. The Ware is typical of other small tributaries of Chesapeake Bay: nutrient levels are higher at low tide, the estuary is more homogenous laterally than longitudinally, and vertical gradients …

A Water Quality Study Of The Northwest River, Virginia, Albert Y. Kuo, Bruce Neilson, Paul V. Hyer

Reports

The Northwest River is a small, coastal plains river lying to the south of the Hampton Roads metropolitan area. It flows in a southeasterly direction from the Dismal Swamp, its headwaters, to North Carolina where it empties into Currituck Sound. Lunar tides in the river are quite small, but flow reversals due to winds are not uncommon.

Previous studies of the river have evaluated its potential as a drinking water source and the environmental changes that would occur as a result of water withdrawal. The latter concern was primarily that downstream locations would experience higher salinity levels once fresh water …

A Natural Resources Survey And Habitat Evaluation Of The Willoughby Disposal Area, U.S. Naval Base, Norfolk, Virginia, Walter I. Priest, C. Richard Terman, Willliam Ihle

Reports

The purpose of this study is to determine the living natural resources utilizing the U.S. Navy's dredged material disposal area located adjacent to Willoughby Bay in Norfolk, Virginia and to determine the habitat value of this area to these resources.

Ware River Intensive Watershed Study- Part 1. Nonpoint Source Contributions, Gary F. Anderson, Cindy Bosco, Bruce Neilson

Reports

Runoff quantity and quality were monitored for row crop, residential and forested lands in the Ware basin for the period of October 1979 to July 1981. Loading rates have been calculated for both baseflow and stormflow contributions at each study site.

Water Quality Trends In The Northwest River : A Report To The Hampton Roads Water Quality Agency, Bruce J. Neilson

Reports

During the initial 208 studies of the Hampton Roads area, no mathematical model of receiving water quality was applied to the Northwest River. At the request of the City of Chesapeake, the HRWQA P003085-03 work program included tasks leading to development of a water quality model of the Northwest River. Data from field studies conducted in 1980 and 1981 and the math model applied to the river have been presented in a companion volume report (Kuo et al., 1982). This report summarizes the results of model simulations made to determine future water quality conditions and trends.
