Jennings Randolph Lake

Jennings Randolph Lake is a reservoir of located on the North Branch Potomac River in Garrett County, Maryland and Mineral County, West Virginia. It is approximately eight miles upstream of Bloomington, Maryland, and approximately five miles north of Elk Garden, West Virginia.
==Construction and management==
The lake was constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, as authorized by the Flood Control Act of October 23, 1962 (Public Law 87-874) and is described in House Document No. 469, 87th United States Congress, second session. Construction of the lake was completed in 1981,〔Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin. Rockville, MD. ("Co-op History." ) Updated 2010-07-08.〕 and resulted in the flooding of the community of Shaw, West Virginia and the realignment of West Virginia Route 46.〔United States Geological Survey, (Kitzmiller, Md.-W. Va. 1:24000 quadrangle ), 1950 edition〕 Originally named Bloomington Lake, it was later renamed for West Virginia Senator Jennings Randolph. The lake, which serves as an emergency reservoir for the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, is managed by the Corps of Engineers.〔U.S Army Corps of Engineers. Baltimore District. ("Jennings Randolph Lake." ) Accessed March 9, 2008.〕 Coordination of the lake's use for water supply purposes is managed by the Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin (ICPRB).
The impoundment also collects acid mine drainage from coal mines located upstream, which improves the water quality of the river downstream.
