Approaching Baltimore
from the West, 1802
altimore, as seen in the distance in this 1802
view from the west, was the third largest city in
America. The vantage point here may be from
what is now Mt. Olivet Cemetery on Frederick
Avenue. Actually a conglomerate of three
settlements, Baltimore Town, Jones Town, and
Fells Point united into one in 1797, the young
city of c. 27,000 people had just witnessed its ﬁrst
major wave of non-English speaking immigrants.
Wealthy French-speaking émigrés and their slaves
from 1790s strife-torn Haiti added a cosmopolitan
air to the bustling thoroughfares ﬁlled with
commerce and roaming pigs that helped dispose
of the urban waste.

Groups Exempted from the HVUT
There are a number of groups that receive
exemptions from the HVUT,including:
● The Federal Government
● State or local governments,including the
District of Columbia
● The American Red Cross
● Nonprofit volunteer fire departments,
ambulance associations or rescue squads
● Indian tribal governments (for vehicles used in
essential tribal government functions)
● Mass transportation authorities (under certain
conditions)
Vehicles Exempted from the HVUT
● Commercial vehicles traveling fewer than 5,000
miles annually
● Agriculture vehicles traveling fewer than 7,500
miles annually
● Vehicles not considered highway motor vehicles
– e.g.,mobile machinery for non-transportation
functions,vehicles specifically designed for off-
highway transportation,and non-transportation
trailers and semi-trailers
● Qualified blood collector vehicles used by
qualified blood collector organizations
Exempt carriers may be required to file tax forms
with the IRS or notify the local department of motor
vehicles of the exempt status being claimed.
The Heavy Vehicle Use Tax and Who Pays It
The heavy vehicle use tax or HVUT is a fee assessed annually on heavy
vehicles operating on public highways at registered gross weights
equal to or exceeding 55,000 pounds. The gross taxable weight of a
vehicle is determined by adding the unloaded weight of the motor
vehicle and any trailers together with the maximum load customarily
carried on-road by the truck-trailer combination. The maximum
HVUT is $550 per year.
Gross Taxable Weight Heavy Vehicle Use Tax Rates
Below 55,000 lbs No tax
55,000 – 75,000 lbs $100 plus $22 per 1,000
pounds over 55,000 lbs
Over 75,000 lbs $550
How It Is Paid
IRS Form 2290 is used when paying the HVUT. The Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) is responsible for collecting the tax,so all payments are
made to the IRS. Payments made in 2007 cover the period from
July 1,2007 to June 30,2008. For new vehicles,IRS Form 2290 must
be filed by the last day of the month following the month of first use.
Once the carrier has paid the tax,proof of payment must be submitted
with their registration renewal to relevant state authorities. Proof of
payment may generally be provided either in the form of a receipted
and stamped Schedule 1 from IRS Form 2290 or a copy of a completed
IRS Form 2290 with a front and back copy of the cancelled check used
to make the payment.
For large carriers with 25 or more vehicles,electronic filing is accom-
plished using a credit card or other means of electronic payment.
When presenting proof of payment,the taxpayer must have the
original electronic receipt or a copy of the receipt and a credit card
or other bank statement showing evidence of the transaction.
What Is the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax?
1
The code of federal regulations establishes a framework for HVUT
enforcement in 23 CFR 669 and assigns responsibilities to multiple
federal and state agencies.
Internal Revenue Service
The IRS is responsible for HVUT collections and taxpayer audits.
States
States are required to obtain proof of HVUT payments when
registering heavy trucks subject to the tax. Further,23 CFR 669.11
requires that the Governor of each state certify HVUT compliance
prior to July 1 of each year. In so doing,the Governor or his or her
designee must submit a letter with text prescribed in 23 CFR 669.9
and contained within Form FHWA-1563 certifying that the state is
obtaining proof of payment as a condition of registering heavy
trucks subject to the HVUT.
Federal Highway Administration
The FHWA is required under 23 U.S.C.669.21 to
periodically review the state’s procedures for
complying with HVUT requirements. This review
must include the inspection of registration records
and other supporting documentation. Part 699
of the Federal-aid Policy Guide requires FHWA to
conduct HVUT compliance reviews at least once
every three years for each state in the nation.
Responsibility for conducting these reviews falls
to the division offices.
If a state fails one of the periodic compliance
reviews,the Secretary of Transportation has the
authority to withhold up to 25 percent of the
state’s Interstate Maintenance funds. A finding
of non-compliance could,therefore,cost the
state millions in lost highway funding. Thus,it is
imperative that states take measures to ensure
HVUT compliance.

SpaCreekConservancy
From the Chesapeake Bay
to the Atlantic Ocean,
Maryland’s extraordinary
coastal resources contribute
to its economy, environment
and quality of life.
With these remarkable resources comes
great responsibility. Coastal resources
must be protected and conserved, yet
communities must be able to thrive
economically. A balance is needed
between human demands and
conservation of the resources that make
Maryland such a unique place to live,
work and play. Maryland’s Chesapeake
and Coastal Program strives to achieve
that balance.
National Issues, Local Solutions
In 1972, Congress responded to the rapid
deterioration of coastal areas throughout
the nation by passing the Coastal Zone
Management Act, or CZMA. The main
objectives of CZMA are to “preserve,
protect, develop, and where possible,
restore or enhance the resources of
the nation’s coastal zone.” The key
feature of CZMA was the creation of a
partnership among federal, state, and
local governments. CZMA’s success is a
direct result of the ability of states to
work with local communities to design
coastal management programs that
address specific issues and priorities
affecting local areas.
How the Maryland Chesapeake
and Coastal Program is Organized
The Maryland Chesapeake and Coastal
Program, administered by the Maryland
Department of Natural Resources, is a
partnership among local, regional and
state agencies. The Program collaborates
with many private organizations, such
as local land trusts and economic
development groups. Through this
networked approach, no one agency or
department is responsible for Maryland’s
entire coast. Rather, all partners help to
ensure its proper management.
Building on Success:
The Chesapeake and Coastal
Program at Work
Over the past three decades, this
partnership has helped Maryland work
to reduce the environmental impacts of
coastal development, resolve significant
conflicts between competing coastal
uses and provide critical assistance to
local governments in coastal planning
and resource protection. The Chesapeake
and Coastal Program conducts research,
provides technical services and distributes
federal and state funds – to enable
on-the-ground projects that benefit
Maryland’s local communities. Whether it’s
helping communities prepare for climate
change, restore local waterways, protect
habitats, foster clean coastal industries or
encouraging citizens to become caring
stewards – the Chesapeake and Coastal
Program constantly seeks ways to improve
coastal management.

personnel who pick up the phone when
you call. Creating an excellent customer
experience is everything, so Comcast
puts a premium on attracting, retaining,
and motivating people to bring about
that goal. In this light, the benefits pack-
ages that Comcast offers are not just
part of its human capital strategy.
As the cost of such
packages increased,
though, the Comcast
Benefits Team wanted
to find ways to cut
costs without cutting
benefits. In fact, they wanted to see if
there were ways they could lower costs
– particularly related to the consump-
tion of healthcare – while at the same
time help employees and their families
take greater advantage of the benefits
they already had, thereby increasing the
value of those benefits to the employ-
ees. In Accolade, Comcast found just the
partner to help achieve those goals.
Transform the Healthcare Experience
The Comcast Corporation, a Fortune 50
organization, is a global media and
technology company with two primary
businesses, Comcast Cable and
NBCUniversal.

Lowering Healthcare Costs while
Increasing Employee Delight
Comcast embraces a consumer-centric benefits strategy
When Comcast was founded in 1962,
the business model was pretty simple.
Comcast had one product, cable TV, and
the human capital needs we’re not
that challenging. They operated like a
typical utility company, without a lot of
competition. If you fast forward to to-
day, Comcast could not be more differ-
ent. It is now a global
telecommunications
and media leader oper-
ating in hyper competi-
tive markets, with more
than a million customer
interactions a day,
across multiple lines of business and
complex product offerings.
What distinguishes Comcast in the eyes
of its customers? It’s not the addition of
another cable television channel or an
incremental increase in Internet band-
width. It’s the 120 thousand employees
behind the services: the installers, the
account representatives, the call center
“Being affiliated with
Accolade is one of the
best things Comcast
has ever done for me.”

Established in 2007, our vineyards are situated on rolling hills just south of
Davidsonville, Maryland. When we began our first experiments with 150
vines, the goal was clear: to practice sustainable agriculture and produce
exceptional wines. As ninth generation custodians of this historic farmland,
and as demanding winemakers, we are committed to using viticultural
practices and winemaking techniques that permit full expression of the
unique deep sandy loam ‘Dodon Series Soils’ that lend our wines distinctive
aromatics and subtle minerality. Now, five years later, we have selected the
best varietals to grow on our land, planted our vines with the enthusiastic
help of our family, friends, and neighbors, and often celebrated with a good
party after a hard day’s work. Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and
Cabernet Sauvignon cover the southern facing hills, while Sauvignon Blanc
and Chardonnay are planted on the north facing slopes.
Using only grapes grown on our farm, our vineyard and winemaking
techniques emphasize individual attention to each cluster and protect the
quality of the fruit. We believe that our deep soils and abundance of
Southern Maryland sun are the keys to producing rich, balanced, aromatic
wines. In other words, it is the unique qualities of the site that determine
the product (“vins de terroir”), not a winemaker with a strong stylistic vision
(“vins d’effort”). The result is a combination of old world and new world style
that is particular to this area of Southern Maryland.
Our first wines and our website will soon be available. In the meantime, we
invite you to follow us on Facebook, to share our vision, and to take part in
the latest Dodon tradition.

Our Say: Needed: Better way to fill
County Council vacancies
Vacancies on the Annapolis City Council
and in the state legislature are filled
either by a decision of the party central
committee or by special elections.
This makes more sense to us…. The best
alternative is to let the voters choose
who represents their council district….”
December 27, 2009
The current council member was chosen by
4 people, all of whom lived outside of the
6th district and 3 of whom were from the
Republican Party. In the next few weeks,
please consider Chris Trumbauer and ask who
best represents the values and the traditions
of the Democratic Party in the fall election.
In Chesapeake country there’s a little Huck Finn in most of us–an attraction
to being close to or on the water that’s timeless, romantic, rustic, and
rich. And Chris Trumbauer is tirelessly working to preserve the waters that
offer this way of life to Bay-area residents in the southern part of Anne
Arundel County. As the West and Rhode Rivers’ Riverkeeper, Trumbauer is
