Collaborative Science and Technology Network for Sustainability Progress Review Workshop October 18-19, 2005 Washington DC Ecological Sustainability in Rapidly Urbanizing Watersheds: Evaluating Strategies Designed to Mitigate Impacts on Ecological Sustainability in Rapidly Urbanizing Watersheds: Evaluating Strategies Designed to Mitigate Impacts on Stream Ecosystems Meosotis Curtis, Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection Laura Craig, University of Maryland-College Park Lead Principal Investigator: Margaret Palmer, University of Maryland-College Park Co-Principal Investigators: Amy Hennessey, Kevin Kelly, Keith Van NessAmy HennesseyKevin KellyKeith Van Ness

Background October 052 The Palmer Lab Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection ESA, Inc. USGS-Water Resources Division EPA Environmental Photographic Interpretation Center Collaborators

Background October 053 Project Goals Determine environmental responses as urbanization occurs –off channel (groundwater) –in-channel (surface water and streambed) –below channel (hyporheic) Evaluate long-term effectiveness of stormwater management technologies –in mitigating impacts from urbanization –sustaining structure and function of headwater streams

Background October 054 MD 2000 Stormwater Management Design Manual Unified Sizing Criteria –Water Quality Volume –Recharge Volume –Channel Protection Volume –Overbank Flood Protection –Extreme Flood Protection Include credits for innovative site planning –non-structural practices –site design techniques sand filter bioretention

Background October 055 MD Stormwater Design Manual Monitoring Large Jurisdictions * Required in Permit Anne Arundel Baltimore City Baltimore County Montgomery County Prince George's County Stream Cross-Sections* Stream Profiles* Bank Erodibility Hazard Index Pebble Counts Water Chemistry Suite Bank and channel sediment Water Quality Parameters Biological Habitat Discharge Groundwater Recharge Continuous Temperature Control Site

Background October 056 Benthic MacroInvertebrates Positive Control-no development 3 Test Areas-MD 2000 SWM Manual Negative Control-prior SWM Manual

Background October 057 Preliminary Results- Preliminary Results-- comparing rainfall to runoff positive control test area

Background October Positive Control Area 2 (Soper’s Branch) Cross Section 1 - Facing Upstream in Years 2003 and 2004

Background October 059 Stream ecosystem function How does nutrient processing differ across watersheds? How does metabolism (GPP, CR & NDM) differ across watersheds? Measure nutrient uptake using short- term solute injections Measure GPP, CR and NDM using whole-stream methods

Background October 0510 Stream ecosystem structure How does water quality differ across watersheds? How does the availability of organic matter differ across watersheds? How do substrate characteristics differ across watersheds? Survey of structural metrics

Background October 0511 Identifying mechanisms that contribute to differences in structure and function How does GW-SW exchange differ across watersheds? How does groundwater quality differ across watersheds? Measure GW-SW exchange Measure streamside and hyporheic water quality

Background October 0512 How do streams draining watersheds being developed with new SWM strategies change over time?
