Stream restoration is a great way to improve the biological function of a stream and the overall health of a watershed system. The use of Macroinvertebrates to evaluate a streams health is one way field biologist conduct a rapid assessment. I conducted a small study using macroinvertebrates and the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality's method for rapid assessment to determine the heath of a restored stream in Fairfax County, VA. Benthic Macroinvertebrates response to the Glade Stream Restoration

Streams are useful and beautiful natural resource features that provide a number of economic and ecological benefits. One major benefits of streams is the removal of stormwater, however during storm events rivers, streams and even small tributaries can flood their banks and damage infrastructure and buildings. This post will review Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood maps in order to identify areas pron to flooding and determine if land use decisions are properly considering flood risks.      The 100 Year Flood FEMA  is an agency of the  United States Department of Homeland Security tasked with  coordinating  the response to a disaster that has occurred in the United States and tha...

LEEDing The Way to Sustainability  The Developing Development Problem      Northern Virginia (NOVA) is subgroup of counties in Virginia that includes Fairfax, Prince William, and Loudoun Counties, and are often considered part of the Washington District of Colombia's metropolitan surroundings. These three counties along with a handful of cities such as Manassas, Reston, Arlington, and Alexandria account for roughly a half of Virginia's 8 million people according to the 2010 census. The areas population has increased since 2010 and the need to house and accommodate the the rising population has resulted in increased development in all counties and cities. The area surrounding Bull Run has experienced large growth with current estimates indicating a 15.9% increase in county population and a 16.5% and a 9.5% increase in Manassas city park, and Manassas city respectively. The primary problem with the large and rapid population growth is the dramatic loss of green s...
