THE MISSION OF THE JAMES RIVER ASSOCIATION
IS TO BE GUARDIAN OF THE JAMES RIVER. WE
PROVIDE A VOICE FOR THE RIVER AND TAKE ACTION
TO PROMOTE CONSERVATION AND RESPONSIBLE
STEWARDSHIP OF ITS NATURAL RESOURCES.
Message from JRA
A New Century for America’s Founding River: Reconnecting Virginia with a Healthy James River
For four centuries, the James River has played a defining role in the founding and development of Virginia
and America. As America’s Founding River enters a fifth century of nurturing Virginia, the river’s health
scored a 52 percent on JRA’s State of the James River report. The score demonstrates that strong
progress has been made in restoring the river from its much degraded state three decades ago when JRA
was founded. However, the State of the James River also shows that we are only halfway to a fully healthy
James River.
Past progress restoring the James River was primarily the result of actions by a limited number of industrial
facilities and sewage treatment plants. Today the greatest threat to the river is the polluted runoff that
rushes off the land from every significant rainstorm. Therefore, the health of the river increasingly depends
on actions across a broad spectrum of society: dozens of local governments, hundreds of developers,
thousands of farmers and 2.5 million residents living within the 10,000 square miles that drain into the
James River.
©David Everette
In 2008, the James River Association continued its strategic focus on reducing polluted runoff marking
numerous accomplishments that are detailed in this annual report. From securing $20 million to help
farmers implement pollution reducing conservation practices, to developing stormwater criteria for new
development that are consistent with the James River clean up plan, to encouraging low impact
development through local development codes, we have made substantial progress in our efforts.
This year JRA also fulfilled a major organizational goal by launching its Upper James Riverkeeper, JRA’s
first staff position dedicated fully to the unique resources and challenges facing the James River from the
2
Allegheny Mountains to the fall line in Richmond. With 80 percent of the land draining into the James
River west of Richmond, the health of the Upper James River will largely determine the river’s overall
health.
At the same time that we need action by a greater number of people to safeguard the river’s health, our
society as a whole is becoming less and less connected to nature. This critical paradox was powerfully
explained at JRA’s Conservation Forum by Richard Louv, author of the seminal book, Last Child in the
Woods: Saving our Children from Nature Deficit Disorder. In response, JRA is expanding its capacity
to connect Virginians to the James River through programs like the Nature and Child Reunion camping
trips for inner city youth and the first annual James River Runoff Rundown, when nearly 100 participants
collectively navigated the full 340-mile length of the James River in a single day.

Thanks to you, our members and supporters, JRA has strengthened and increased our efforts to ensure
that the James River remains a source of nourishment and enrichment for generations to come. Thank
you for your dedication and commitment. Working together we can enable our families and children to
enjoy a healthy and safe James River in the next century for America’s Founding River.

Advocacy
Providing a voice for the James River on important legal and policy issues
JRA is the leading voice for the James River and everyone who is concerned about the health of the river.
In this role, JRA continues to focus its efforts on three key policy issues to advance the protection and
restoration of the river: agricultural practices, stormwater pollution and sewage and industrial
discharges.
Agriculture and Conservation Partnership for Water Quality
JRA helped form an unprecedented coalition between farming groups and conservation groups.
Despite past differences on policy issues, which often put agricultural interest and environmental
interests in opposition to each other, five of Virginia’s leading conservation groups joined with five
major farming groups to work together on the common goal of securing state funding to help
farmers implement pollution reducing practices.
©David Everette
New Fund Established for Clean Water Practices on Farms
Through the Agriculture and Conservation Partnership for Water Quality, JRA helped establish the
Virginia Natural Resources Commitment Fund for the sole purpose of funding farming practices that
improve water quality. This was the only new fund established in the 2008 General Assembly, and the
fund was initiated with $20 million that was introduced in Governor Kaine’s budget. This was one of the
only items in the state’s budget that was not cut this year, showing the strong support for the program.
4
Strengthening Virginia’s Stormwater Regulations
JRA spearheaded an effort to increase protection for Virginia’s waterways from the impacts of
stormwater runoff associated with new and existing development. JRA has been an active participant in
the state’s process of updating all of its stormwater regulations and permits, and helped to coordinate
the efforts of other river conservation groups and environmental law centers. As a result, Virginia has
proposed some of the strongest stormwater protections for new development of any state in the nation.
Upgrading Wastewater Treatment
Over the past three years, JRA helped to establish regulations and secure over $500 million for
upgrading sewage and industrial discharges to meet the clean up goals for the James River and
Chesapeake Bay. Thouugh this year, nearly $140 million were awarded to upgrade plants in the James
River basin, keeping the effort on track to meet the 2010 pollution reduction goals for wastewater
discharges.

james Riverkeeper
riverkeeper®
Keeping constant vigil on the James River—monitoring its conditions, identifying problems and ensuring solutions are executed properly
Monitoring the Conditions of the James River
The James Riverkeeper® is a continuous on-the-water presence every week, year-round. He patrols the
watershed by boat, truck and on foot looking for human health and environmental threats. To aid in
this effort, the James Riverkeeper has enlisted commercial and recreational fishermen, tugboat
captains and numerous citizen volunteers to act as additional eyes and ears for the river.
Upper James Riverkeeper
This year, JRA expanded its James Riverkeeper program by hiring an Upper James Riverkeeper and
thereby focusing the current Riverkeeper on the Lower James. This important step will increase the
effectiveness of the program and enable greater focus on local issues that affect the health of the James
River.

Fish Kills on the Upper James River
Mysterious fish kills returned to the Upper James River and its tributaries in the spring, causing serious
ecological and economic impacts in the region. In addition to patrolling the affected sections of the
river, the James Riverkeeper served on the Virginia Fish Kill Task Force, a collaboration of government,
university and private partners working to determine causes of the recent fish kills.

6
Responding to Pollution Problems
Through the James River Hotline (800-366-9229), the James Riverkeeper remains an avenue for
citizens to report pollution incidents, fish kills, or other activities affecting the river’s health. Over the
past year, the James Riverkeeper responded to 36 reports of erosion and sediment control violations,
algal blooms, fish kills and Chesapeake Bay Act violations.
The James Riverkeeper served on numerous technical advisory committees throughout the watershed
to address pollution problems such as poultry litter disposal, bacteria pollution and the development of
water quality standards.
©JRA staff
Seeking Solutions
The James Riverkeeper supported James River Atlantic Sturgeon research by bringing together leading
fishery scientists to coordinate efforts to restore this magnificent fish in the river.
The James Riverkeeper has been able to better enforce existing erosion and sediment control laws by
training a network of citizen “Mud Busters” on how to identify water quality problems at construction
sites and engage appropriate authorities to correct the problems.

Education and Outreach Program
Developing the next generation of James River guardians
James River Watershed Experience
This year, JRA and VCU engaged over 1,200 elementary and middle school student and teacher
participants from Amelia, Charles City and Powhatan Counties. Through teacher trainings, in-class
lessons and outdoor stream experiences students discovered the wonders of the James River and how
their actions affect the river’s health.
Education Partnerships
JRA and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) have entered into an exciting new public-private
partnership – the launching of a new environmental education program at Presquile National Wildlife
Refuge, a 1,300-acre island in the James River. On December 17th, 2007, JRA and USFWS signed an
agreement that harnesses the resources and assets of each organization to greatly enhance efforts on
our common mission of environmental education.
©JRA staff
JRA partnered with the Children’s Museum of Richmond to offer a special camp session to children
from St. Joseph’s Villa. Four and five year olds attended a week of day camp that focused on the James
River and featured field trips to Belle Isle and the Maymont Nature Center.
Nature and Child Reunion
JRA launched a new program to reunite children with a positive outdoor experience. The Nature and
Child Reunion consists of an overnight camping trip at Presquile National Wildlife Refuge, with handson outdoor activities such as team building, hiking, fishing and lessons in ecology and natural history.
8
JRA is working with inner city youth groups, such as local Boys & Girls Clubs and the William Byrd
Community House, who normally have limited opportunity to connect to the natural world.
Education Materials
The Richmond Times-Dispatch and JRA have partnered to produce environmental education materials
for schools in the region, including a color feature for Earth Day and monthly JRA sections in the new
Kids’ Extra.
JRA Conservation Forum
JRA hosted Richard Louv, author of the highly acclaimed Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our
Children from Nature Deficit Disorder, for speaking engagements in Richmond and Newport News.
The events raised awareness of how experiences in nature can improve the health of our children as
well as the James River.
James River Runoff Rundown
Over 100 river enthusiasts from across the Commonwealth paddled, skied, motored, tubed, sailed or
otherwise covered small sections of the James River such that, taken in concert, the entire length of the
James River – all 340-miles – was traversed in a single day. The event helped raise awareness of the
recreational, cultural and ecological importance of the river while building substantial support for JRA
and its efforts to protect America’s Founding River.

Watershed Restoration
Showcasing solutions through partnerships and innovative projects
Building a Cleaner James River
JRA continued its efforts to encourage low impact development practices through local development
codes in targeted, rapidly-growing localities. Goochland County incorporated the principles of JRA’s
Goochland Water Quality Roundtable recommendations into its new Comprehensive Plan. JRA also
worked with the University of Virginia and Rivanna Conservation Society to incorporate low impact
development policies into Fluvanna County codes and ordinances. JRA and the Center for Watershed
Protection developed a management plan identifying priority conservation areas for Gordon Creek in
James City County.
©JRA staff
Extreme Stream Makeover
JRA continued to maintain the sites from our first Extreme Stream Makeover in Colonial Heights and
geared up for the 2008 Extreme Stream Makeover in Henrico County. For the extensive planning and
design phase of this community-based stream restoration projects, JRA engaged a broad array of
partners including four Richmond Garden Clubs (Boxwood, James River, Three Chopt, and Tuckahoe),
Henricopolis Soil and Water Conservation District, Virginia Commonwealth University, Philip Morris,
Honeywell, five schools in the region, a church, neighborhood associations, homeowners, consulting
firms and county staff.
10
River Friendly Farming Practices
In an effort to improve water quality from agricultural lands, JRA worked with the three soil and water
conservation districts in the Piedmont to increase the use of no-till and winter cover crops to reduce
erosion and pollution from cropland. JRA also purchased two “roller crimpers” to help farmers adopt
a new low impact method for utilizing cover crops for mulch and nutrients. Since this project was
initiated in the spring of 2007, more than 28,000 acres of cover crops have been implemented within
the project area.
James River Regional Clean Up
JRA, in partnership with the James River Advisory Council, helped organize the ninth annual James
River Regional Cleanup. More than eight hundred volunteers cleaned over seventy-five miles of James
River or tributary shoreline and road miles within the watershed. Volunteers stationed at twelve
cleanup sites in five counties and the City of Richmond collected 649 bags of trash, of which, 300 bags
were recycled.
