Hi everyone!

The first public meeting has been scheduled!  It will be held Tuesday, November 28, 2006, at 7:00 pm.  We’ll meet in the Dante Lives On (http://www.danteliveson.org/) facility in Dante, Virginia.  Keep an eye on this forum, as I hope to be posting the animal numbers we’ll be discussing for the bacteria portion of the meeting sometime before November 28!  Gene is also working on data to present for the benthic side of things.

Hope to see you there!

The attached file contains detailed human and animal populations by sub-watershed.  There are 21 sub-watersheds.  I tried my best to describe each sub-watershed and make a location map for each, but if it’s still confusing, come to the public meeting and you can visualize everything on the big map we’ll have there! 

Although I’ve called this a ‘handout,’ I’ll only have a couple copies at the public meeting - if you want one of your own to keep, feel free to print this one out grin.

As a brief overview: cattle numbers are based on pasture areas and area-specific stocking rates provided by VCE and NRCS; other livestock numbers are based on local expertise or animals we observed in the watershed; wildlife numbers are based on estimates from various sources and have been reviewed by VDGIF; human populations are based on a combination of house locations from USGS 7.5 min quads, household populations from the US Census, and straight pipe and septic failure rates from experts at VDH.  I’ll go into the methodology more at the public meeting.

Hope to see everyone on the 28th!

I’ve attached the slides for the bacteria portion of the first public meeting to this post.  We’ll have handouts of these slides at the meeting, but feel free to print these out if you can’t make it or just want a copy ahead of time.  Hope to see everyone tomorrow night!

Okay, one more thing!  I’m sorry this took so long to put up.  Here is the supplemental information on our septic systems I handed out at the meeting - with corrected numbers!  Please take a look and let me know what you think!  Thanks!
