John A. Kelley is a soil scientist previously with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), United States Department of Agriculture and Environment Agency of Abu Dhabi, UAE. John is a soil survey quality assurance expert and a specialist in soil mapping, soil classification, and correlation of soil survey projects. He has extensive experience in soil survey procedures and documentation including digital soil photography.
Soil survey quality assurance is the process of providing technical standards and guidelines, oversight and review, and training to ensure that soil survey products meet NCSS standards. Responsibility for ensuring the quality of soil survey products such as maps, descriptions, data, texts, photographs, etc., rests with the soil survey regional office (SSR).
Quality control and quality assurance are important at all levels in the preparation, publication, and update of a soil survey. Their purpose is to ensure that soil survey products are accurate and consistent, meet the objectives outlined in the memorandum of understanding or project plan, and satisfy the needs of the majority of soil survey users. Quality control and quality assurance activities also are carried out at other locations where soil survey products are developed, such as the National Soil Survey Center’s Kellogg Soil Survey Laboratory (KSSL) and the National Geospatial Center of Excellence (NGCE).

Regardless of their stance on fracking, residents of the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania and southern New York all agreed that the fracking should be monitored. An interstate agency, the Susquehanna River Basin Commission, manages water resources within the watershed with an expansive monitoring network. Their 58 stations continuously monitor temperature, pH, specific conductance, dissolved oxygen and turbidity.

This photo was taken by and is courtesy of professional photographer Thomas Schwab of Moments by Thomas (www.momentsbythomas.net). These photos and videos shows the results of the hard work of 115 volunteers in the Merritt Boulevard area of Bread and Cheese Creek between Merritt Boulevard and Willow Road on 4/14/12 (Our original goal was Plainfield Road by our incredible volunteers wet way beyond that goal.
Together we cut up and moved 3 fallen trees blocking the stream, we removed thirty yards of trash and debris, on twenty yards of metal metal (which included 7 shopping carts, a lawn mower, and engine head and the bumper from a 1972 Chevelle), 7 tires, 5 cans of paint 2 bicycles, a couch, a bowling ball and an office chair. This has helped reveal the natural beauty of the historic Bread and Cheese Creek, and kept this trash from flowing into Back River, The Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean!
All left over donated food is re-donated to the local food kitchen "Saint Rita's Table" which hosts dinners for Dundalk's needy and homeless every Monday evening.
Although we had help and volunteers from many organizations we would like thank the following: Baltimore County Department of Environmental Protection and Sustainability (DEPS), The Baltimore County Highway Administration, The Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay’s Project Clean Stream, Sonic, The Baltimore Arts and Music Project (BAMP), Chesapeake Quality Traders, UPS, Hamilton Federal Savings Bank, Towson University’ History Club and Circle K, Moments By Thomas Photography, The Gray Manor & North Shire Community Association, The CCBC Geocache Club, Gotugo Portable Restrooms, Cambridge Iron and Steel, Entenmanns’s Bakery, Gold’s Gym Dundalk, and more! If we missed your group, please let us know and we will include you as well!
We are a not-for-profit organization with no paid positions and absolutely no funding relying completely upon donations to clean and restore the environment in the Dundalk Area.
Thank you volunteers and sponsors, we couldn't do it without you!

Standing Stone Creek flows through Alan Seeger Natural Area in Huntingdon County, Pa., on Oct. 7, 2020. An invasive insect, the hemlock woolly adelgid, has attacked eastern hemlock trees in the area, which holds a rare stand of old-growth trees. The hemlock woolly adelgid causes an infested tree to drop its needles, and stressed trees can eventually die from heat and drought. Active management in Pennsylvania includes chemical treatment and biocontrols—essentially predatory beetles that eat the invasive insect. Keeping a forest healthy—by safeguarding its soils, water quality and biodiversity—plays a huge part in keeping trees resilient to the invaders. (Photo by Will Parson/Cheapeake Bay Program)
