	Elizabeth River (Virginia) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Elizabeth River is a short tidal estuary forming an arm of Hampton Roads at the southern end of Chesapeake Bay in southeast Virginia in the United States.
		The river was named by the Jamestown colonists in the early 17th century for Princess Elizabeth Stuart, the daughter of King James I of England and a sister of the later King Charles I.
		Motor vehicles cross the main portion of the river using the Downtown Tunnel and the Midtown Tunnel.

	Assabet River Stream Watch
		Elizabeth Brook has played an important role in the history of the town of Stow.
		It is believed that the earliest mill built in Stow was located on Elizabeth Brook, as a deed dated August 1681, two years before the town's establishment, conveys a parcel of land with a mill on "Assabath Brook"* from Jonathan Prescott to John Buttrick.
		Taylor's Mill was also in operation on Elizabeth Brook by the 1730's and is still labeled as such on the 1830 town map.

	Whence Elizabeth River, Willoughby, and Two Points - Norfolk Highlights - Chapter 3
		These are the Elizabeth River, Willoughby, Sewells Point, and Lamberts Point, the last three having derived their names from prominent early Norfolk area settlers.
		The Elizabeth River was named for the Princess Elizabeth Stuart (1596-1660), the daughter of King James I of England and a sister of Prince Henry Stuart and Prince Charles Stuart, later King Charles I, for whom the first Jamestown colonists named the two capes that guard the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay.
		Elizabeth City County, originally known by the "the savage name of Kiccowtan," from which Lower Norfolk County was carved in 1637, was also named for her.

	Virginia DEQ - Chesapeake Bay Program - Elizabeth River Watershed Action Plan
		In 1993, the Chesapeake Bay Program identified the Elizabeth River system as a Region of Concern as it is one of the most highly polluted bodies of water in the entire Bay watershed.
		DEQ has been and continues to be a key participant in providing agency resources for monitoring the quality of the Elizabeth River water and its sediment relative to toxic pollutants and their effects.
		Other components of the Elizabeth River monitoring program will once again be implemented when additional funding becomes available and/or appropriate management actions have been implemented to reduce the inputs of toxic pollutants.

	Virginia: Elizabeth River Project (Local Legacies: Celebrating Community Roots - Library of Congress)
		Four citizens in 1991 dreamed of a cleaner Elizabeth River in southeastern Virginia, one of the most industrialized waterways on the East Coast, and founded the Elizabeth River Project.
		Progress for a cleaner river can be credited with the work done by agencies, organizations, and individuals across the East Coast, which responded to the project founders' belief that the dirtiest river on the Chesapeake Bay could improve if all players, from industry to environmentalists, from regulators to residents and scientists, worked together.
		The Elizabeth River Project secured a cost-sharing agreement in 1998 among the federal government, the state, and the cities of Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth and Virginia Beach, for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to begin a $2.4 feasibility study to clean up the river's bottom.

		The Elizabeth River Project, a grassroots non-profit organization formed more than 10 years ago by four folks sitting at a kitchen table, called the proposed district study their number one priority for improving the health of the river.
		At the same time, the Elizabeth River remains one of the more seriously degraded urban rivers in the U.S. Originally a broad, shallow estuary of the Chesapeake Bay, the river has been dredged to twice her normal depth and filled to 75 percent her normal width to accommodate three centuries of development.
		Meanwhile, the mayors of the four cities on the Elizabeth River banks (Norfolk, Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, and Portsmouth) remain engaged with state and federal agencies to keep the restoration project on the radar screen.

	Pasquotank River Water Quality Program Report
		Concerns in the Pasquotank River are from mostly non-point sources – runoff from farmland, hog farms, faulty septic tank systems, runoff from lawns, and stormwater runoff from Elizabeth City, the largest populated area on the River (NC DEHNR, 1997).
		The average pH in the Pasquotank River in November and December of 1998 was in the 7.0 range.
		Upstream of Elizabeth City where the River widens, the DO concentrations increased to an average of 9 – 10 mg/L. The larger surface area affected by wave action, flow induced by wind tides, and lighter color water which allows more sunlight for photosynthesis all could be contributing factors to account for the higher concentrations.
