EPCD will be holding their annual Watershed Group Gathering on Tuesday, March 29, 2016 at Blue Ridge Community and Technical College in Martinsburg, WV. Mark your calendars, and note that our location has changed! The gathering will run from approximately 9am-12:30pm.
As usual, a portion of the agenda will be dedicated to hearing from our local watershed groups and partners. We request a 1 slide, 2 minute presentation from everyone who is interested in giving an update. You can put whatever you want on your slide, and you will have exactly 2 minutes to talk about what you feel is most important about your group’s activities over the past year.
Topics will include: Outreach via Social Media, CI’s Best Management Practices Reporting Tool, ICPRB’s WaterReporter App., and Urban Nutrient Management.
Please distribute this message to your membership base/mailing lists as you see fit. Stay on the lookout in early March for an agenda and registration for our March 29, 2016 Eastern Panhandle Watershed Group Gathering.

Flooding Concerns after Snow Melt
With rapid snow melt, particularly when accompanied by rain, our Eastern Pandhandle rivers with much broader upstream watersheds become very vulnerable to flooding.
So far this month the Cacapon is the only river for which unusual flooding is predicted, although the South Branch and main stem of the Potomac will likely reach Action Stage.
From the Hampshire Review:
GREAT CACAPON — Runoff from Winter Storm Jonas pushed the Cacapon River out of its banks early Tuesday morning.
The National Weather Service reporting station showed the river cresting at 9.85 feet at 7:30 a.m. Tuesday after a rapid rise over the previous 16 hours.
The level is expected to be back below the 9-foot flood stage by 1 p.m. and drop back to 6 feet by 7 a.m. Wednesday before starting another rise that could hit flood stage again Thursday morning.
