	Living River Trust
		The Trust strives to maximize the mitigation benefit to the aquatic environment of the Elizabeth River and the public interest.
		For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “aquatic resources” means all waters of the United States subject to Corps regulation and all waters of the state subject to regulation by the Commonwealth, lying within the Elizabeth River watershed.
		Restoration projects and expenditures are proposed by the Living River Trust Board but require authorization by the Army Corps of Engineers and the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality.

	The Elizabeth River Project--Superfund Sites
		The Elizabeth River Project provides a forum for voluntary cooperation among all interests participating in cleanup efforts, including Superfund sites, non-listed sites and public and private agencies.
		The Norfolk Naval Shipyard is recognized as a “Model Level” River Star as part of Elizabeth River Project’s River Star program for recent exemplary progress cleaning up several Superfund landfills.
		The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is an active partner in the Elizabeth River cleanup and has developed a GIS-based Watershed Database and Mapping Project to facilitate clean-up and restoration activities.

		The Anacostia River is contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls, pesticides, heavy metals, and raw sewage discharges from combined sewer overflows, all of which pose threats to human health and wildlife, fish habitat, and limits recreational fishing.
		The Elizabeth River is contaminated by heavy metals from military and industrial sources that pose threats to human health and wildlife.
		An uncontrolled, unstable landfill exists in the middle of the Tres Rios area (near the Salt and Gila Rivers) and is raising water surface elevations in the local flood-prone community, thus increasing the potential threat to public health and the environment.

	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 is a heavily industrialized waterway occupying a southern portion of the Chesapeake Bay estuary.
		The river's coexistence with the constructions that have disturbed it is thereby brought to the forefront, and the sublimity of this rare experience underpins the knowledge gained by each person who visits the barge.

		Huggett, R.J., Bender, M.E., and Unger, M.A. "Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons in the Elizabeth River, Virginia." In: Dickson, K.L., Maki, A.W., and Brungs, W.A. (eds.).
		Due to high concentration of PAHs in sediments throughout the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River, the multiple sources of PAHs, and the tidal action of the river, it is difficult to form any definite conclusions from the Huggett report which would link any discharge from the AWI site directly to PAH levels in oysters.
		The Elizabeth River receives permitted discharges from numerous industrial and municipal outfalls...Therefore, the use of biota sampling to determine potential impacts from the AWI site does not appear to be an appropriate means for quantifying site related effects.

	washingtonpost.com: Deadly Snares Of Fishing Line Imperil Ospreys
		On the Patuxent River, there was a nest with a toy machine gun in it.
		Ospreys build atop the thick posts that mark channels in many rivers, on duck blinds or on platforms erected specifically to house their nests.
		A survey of the Patapsco River found that about half of the nests contained fishing line, and another survey of the South River found line in about 41 percent of nests, McGowan said.

		Virginia prohibits the consumption of shellfish other than crabs (i.e., bivalve mollusks such as clams, oysters, and mussels) from the Elizabeth River and its tributaries, primarily due to the coliform levels (bacteriologic contamination).
		Fish and crabs collected from St. Juliens Creek or the Elizabeth River have the potential to be affected by contaminant sources from this entire area.
		Juliens Creek Annex, its wharf, or the downstream river bank in the future, additional testing commensurate with the proposed land use be conducted to ensure that UXO concerns are adequately addressed.

		The Elizabeth River is one of the busiest military and commercial ports in the world.
		Studies of the river have shown high concentrations of the toxic pollutant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), low biodiversity and a high percentage of fish suffering from liver cancer, lesions, deformity and cataracts.
		Since 1996, the Elizabeth River Project, a community-based collaborative group, has been working with local, state and federal agencies to enlist community partners in voluntary action to address contamination in the offshore sediments at Money Point and to prevent recontamination from uplands.

	Confederate Ships--CSS Virginia (1862-1862)
		Virginia made her first combat sortie on 8 March 1862, steaming down the Elizabeth River from Norfolk and into Hampton Roads.
		When Virginia returned to Hampton Roads to attack the grounded steam frigate Minnesota, she found the Union's own pioneer ironclad, USS Monitor, waiting.
		After a futile effort to lighten the ship enough to allow her to move up the James River, on 11 May the South's formidible ironclad was destroyed by her crew off Craney Island, some six miles from where she had electrified the World through her battles of 8 and 9 March.

		When the scientists capture killifish from the Elizabeth River and breed them in the lab, they find that their offspring have some of the same strengths and weaknesses that their parents had, including a resistance to creosote and other pollutants.
		And while that may seem trivial for a little bait fish in a Virginia River, if you think of how many other unnatural substances humans release into the environment, the problem becomes much bigger.

	Status of Chemical Contaminant Effects
		This map summarizes the status of chemical contaminant effects on living resources in the Chesapeake Bay’s tidal rivers based on all available chemical contaminant exposure (concentrations in water, sediment, and fish tissue) and effects (sediment/water toxicity, benthic community structure) data.
		The Regional Focus Workgroup of the Bay Program’s Toxics Subcommittee, underwent an extensive five-year effort to weigh all available chemical contaminant data for each river segment and, based on their best professional judgment, developed consensus on the final characterization in April 1999.
		Three areas that were designated in 1993 -- the Anacostia River, Washington, D.C., the Baltimore Harbor, Maryland, and the Elizabeth River, Virginia, still remain.
