    Quantifying Load Reductions of Selected Pollutant Parameters Through the Use of Stormwater Best Management Practices in the Delaware Portion of the Christina Basin
    (2009-08-25T17:35:49Z) Homsey, Andrew R.; Corrozi Narvaez, Martha; Farris, Erika D.; Nelson, Maureen H.S.
    At the request of the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC), the Water Resources Agency (WRA), a unit of the University of Delaware’s Institute for Public Administration, developed a process to quantify load reductions achieved through stormwater-control structures (best management practices, or BMPs) for selected pollutant parameters in the Delaware portion of the Christina Basin. This report summarizes the scope of the project and outlines the methodology, analysis, and implications.

    Restoration of Shad and Anadromous Fish to the White Clay Creek National Wild and Scenic River: A Feasibility Report
    (2010-12-22) Corrozi Narvaez, Martha; Kauffman, Gerald J.; Lonsdorf, Robert; Nelson, Maureen H.S.
    The long-term goal of the White Clay Creek watershed project is to restore shad and migratoryfish passage and habitat, increase spawning areas, and benefit the resident fish in the 107-sq.-mi. watershed. To achieve this, WRA conducted a feasibility study for restoring fish passage to the federally designated National Wild and Scenic White Clay Creek. This project is funded by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) and is one of 17 projects being undertaken by a number of regional organizations that are striving to improve the environment of the Delaware Estuary— the tidal portion of the Delaware River.

    Synthesis of Water Rates in Delaware and Contiguous States
    (2009-08-18T20:24:11Z) Corrozi Narvaez, Martha; Nelson, Maureen H.S.
    The University of Delaware Institute for Public Administration’s Water Resources Agency (WRA) conducted an inventory of water rates for public and investor-owned water utilities within Delaware and its bordering states—Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland. This report summarizes and compares the residential water rates for these four states and is intended to serve water purveyors, the public, and federal, state, and local decision-makers. This report is an update of the original water-rate inventory prepared in September 1996 and later reports—Economic Synthesis of Water Rates in Delaware and Surrounding River Basins (August 21, 2000) and Synthesis of Water Rates in Delaware and Contiguous States (July 2004).
