	Welcome to DPI, Your Poultry Information Source
		It's hurricane season for the Delmarva Peninsula and Delmarva Poultry Industry, Inc. (DPI) is reminding growers to be prepared should a hurricane head their way.
		Delmarva Poultry Industry, Inc. (DPI), the trade association for the Delmarva Peninsula’s chicken industry, is urging its members to contact the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to express concerns about a proposed regulation that will inundate them with paperwork and the time needed to answer government questions.
		Delmarva Poultry Industry, Inc. (DPI), the trade association for the Delmarva Peninsula’s chicken industry, held its 51st annual Booster Banquet April 19 in Salisbury, Maryland and recognized 17 persons for outstanding work in or for the chicken industry.

	Delmarva Peninsula - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The Delmarva Peninsula is a large peninsula on the East Coast of the United States, occupied by portions of three U.S. states: Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia.
		The border between Maryland and Virginia on the Peninsula is a surveyed line from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pocomoke River and then follows the river to the Chesapeake Bay.
		A favorite sight on the Atlantic side of the peninsula is Chincoteague Island of Virginia, which together with Assateague Island of Maryland, is noted for its herd of wild ponies accustomed to the seashore, as described by Marguerite Henry in Misty of Chincoteague.

	Critter Corner \| Delmarva Fox Squirrel
		The Delmarva Peninsula fox squirrel, one of 10 recognized subspecies of fox squirrels, is endangered but its population is expanding with the help of recovery efforts.
		The Delmarva Peninsula fox squirrel lives in mature woodlots of mixed pine and hardwoods along streams and marshland or near agricultural fields.
		Between 1969 and 1971, thirty Delmarva Peninsula fox squirrels were relocated to Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge in Virginia and released in the habitat surrounding the historic Assateague Lighthouse.

	[No title]
		Delmarva fox squirrels do sometimes occur in pure loblolly pine stands (30), and some authors have indicated old-growth loblolly pine forests are the preferred habitat of the Delmarva fox squirrel (01,16,24 as cited in 05).
		The Delmarva fox squirrel recovery team (1979) believes that the status of the Delmarva fox squirrel could be changed from endangered to threatened if existing suitable habitat is maintained and 10 new colonies are established outside the known range of the Delmarva fox squirrel (as delineated in 1979) (14).
		The Delmarva fox squirrel is often found in narrow tree zones along rivers, streams, and bays (04,14), and development (i.e., transportation routes, rural housing areas, industrial areas, recreation areas, and agriculture) of this edge habitat are all factors contributing to habitat loss, and this is detrimental to the Delmarva fox squirrel's existence.

	DETF Mission Statement
		The DelMarVa Emergency Task Force (DETF) exists to assist in regional preparedness and planning for hurricanes, tropical storms and nor'easters that could jeopardize the health, safety, welfare and property of citizens on the Delmarva Peninsula, and to promote public awareness, communications and resource management throughout the Delmarva area.
		There are five (5) Project Impact communities on the Delmarva Peninsula, whose efforts to mitigate the impact of natural and man-made hazards in their communities are recognized by the members of the DETF and whose participation in the DETF is encouraged: Bethany Beach, Lewes, Milford and Wilmington, Delaware and Cecil County, Maryland.
		Since the "big business" of the Delmarva Peninsula during 50% of the hurricane season is tourism, a significant number of people will need to be evacuated in the event of a hurricane threat.

	Statement of Judith M
		It is estimated that the amount of fresh water available for water supply in one year on the peninsula would be about 1,500 million gallons per day (mgd), of which 90 percent is from deep and surficial ground-water sources.
		The streams of the peninsula and ground water in the surficial aquifer are susceptible to contamination from human activities. Chemicals that are applied to the land surface in quantities greater than can be taken up by vegetation can leach through permeable surficial soils and sediments and contaminate shallow ground water.
		Understanding the availability of ground water for irrigation is important for the success of sustainable agriculture on the Delmarva Peninsula. Irrigation is the second largest user of ground water on the peninsula. Drinking water follows as the third largest user.

		As settlers arrived on the Delmarva peninsula, much of this land was drained and cleared of its natural vegetation so that the land could be used for agriculture.
		What is somewhat unique on the Delmarva, is that not only have the native plant species been replaced (often referred to as land cover change), but the hydrology, or ânatural plumbing,â underlying these areas has also been changed in very significant ways.
		This has been particularly daunting for the Delmarva peninsula because of the large amounts of animal waste produced by the poultry industry and the excess of phosphorus relative to nitrogen that exists in this source of nutrients when compared to the needs of crops.
