Landfill can be redesigned around rock ridge At special meetings held morning and night on Tuesday, engineer Leonard Joyce gave the supervisors a report on what the discovery of rock means to plans for the new landfill on the 99-acre Stover tract near Amissville. And the word was good. Not only can the landfill be redesigned without sacrificing life expectancy or any of the work already accomplished by the contractor, but the changes may actually bring down the price on the first phase of construction, according to the consultant. Rock was uncovered July 1 during excavation of the initial trench area. On the basis of more than 20 holes dug with a backhoe last Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, Mr. Joyce has identified the ridge as running roughly east to west at an angle across the intended fill area. “I had a geologist out there Friday,” he told the supervisors (Charles Estes and Ellis Bingham at the morning meeting; Mr. Estes, Col. Bingham, and Chairman Hubert Gilkey at the evening session). “He thinks this little ridge, this peak-and-valley effect, is likely to occur throughout the entire site,” Mr. Joyce reported, but added, “we’re not sure of that.” The engineer said after the new holes showed the extent of the rock ridge, “I looked back, scratched my head, and asked myself, ‘Well, how did we miss this with our borings?”’ Laying out the maps for the geotechnic evaluation on the courtroom table, Mr. Joyce pointed to the seismic studies and the auger borings “to refusal” at 18 to 42 feet, indicating more than sufficient soil depth for trench disposal. Of the 20 or so original borings, only two showed shallow bedrock at five to eight feet, assumed by the engineer to be isolated outcroppings. “Maybe we could have put in 20 more and maybe we could have identified some of these rock peaks — and maybe not. I just don’t know ... You base your decisions on what you think is reasonable and acceptable,” he said, adding that all the evidence had supported a conclusion of no rock and plenty of soil. “You just missed that ridge all the way around,” noted Mr. Estes. “What’s your proposal to compensate?” asked Col. Bingham. “You have adequate land space (on the Stover tract) to provide for long-term waste disposal for Rappahannock County,” affirmed the engineer. By widening the initial trench area, building a back berm, and steepening the slope from 1:7 to 1:3, or a grade of 33 percent, the capacity of the first trench — originally projected at three years — would not be significantly changed, he reported. “And it’s still an acceptable outslope. The soils can still be stabilized on that kind of grade . . . You’ll still realize nearly the same vol ume as in the original trench.” To Col. Bingham’s note that the new holes dug by the backhoe showed water, Mr. Joyce said that another subdrain system under the trench liner, or possibly even two systems, would channel the water beneath the fill area and tie it back into its normal path of flow. As the prospects for the site as a whole, if the undulating ridges of rock extend through the balance of the tract, a worse case asessment — “being that we couldn’t excavate anywhere” — still shows that the life of an “area fill” would be “in excess of 40 years,” Mr. Joyce said. He explained that with this option, the site would be cleared, the liner installed, and the refuse deposited on top of the liner, with the landfill being built up instead of dug down. And with the final grade at 1:3 and the elevation raised just 20 feet, which is 15 feet beyond the natural high point, the life expectancy would be 50 years, Mr. Joyce added, noting that the “peak” of the fill area would be screened by the tall trees on the tract. He acknowledged that the change in design would have to be reviewed and approved by the Department of Waste Management, which issues landfill permits. Mr. Joyce reported that the department’s technical services chief Berry Wright had visited the Stover tract the previous Friday; “He didn’t have any problem with what we’re thinking about at that time,” and indicated that construction under the modified design “can proceed while they’re doing the paperwork.” At the morning meeting with the two supervisors. Mr. Joyce shied from giving a cost estimate on the changes, saying only that the difference “won't be significant.” “You can do anything engineeringwise, but it will cost you!" remarked Col. Bingham. “Your recommendation looks acceptable at rough glance, but it’s going to depend a lot on the cost.” Particularly the long-range costs will have to be examined, he said, before anything is dumped on the Stover tract. Once refuse is deposited there, the land has no salvage value. Col. Bingham noted. “Now we could still subdivide it, sell it, and pay for a landfill (at another location).” The Jackson District supervisor, who won election in November as an opponent of a landfill on the Stover tract, returned to that subdivision theme at the evening meeting when Mr. Joyce repeated his explanation for Chairman Hubert Gilkey. “It’s prudent before we go any further to try to get a firm handle on what the cost is going to be.” Col. Bingham said. This time, Mr. Joyce had reported that relocation of ponds closer to the fill area at See ROCK, p. 13 Proposals sought to maintain two dumpster sites The Board of Supervisors is soliciting proposals for maintaining dumpsters at Scrabble and Huntly and hauling trash from the “green box” sites to the new landfill on the 99-acre Stover tract near Amissville, which is expected to be completed in mid-August. In addition, the supervisors are asking for a separate proposal on providing “landfilling operations support,” essentially seeking a heavy equipment operator with a front end loader to work under the direction of the landfill operator. The request for proposals (RFP) doesn’t obligate the . board to any course of action; the supervisors could still decide to abandon the dumpster sites and require that all refuse be taken to the landfill, in addition, the request for proposals leaves open the questions of whether access will be controlled and whether compactors will be installed at one or both of the garbage collection points. Suggesting that compactors be added, Col. Ellis Bingham, the supervisor whose district is home to the new county landfill, maintained “if it’s not controlled at the dumpster sites, we’re not going to be able to control what goes in the landfill.” “Absolutely,” agreed Supervisor Mike Massie. But if the contractor must supply compactors, respondents will be limited to two firms (BFI and Waste Management), County Administrator John McCarthy explained. And if the equipment is county-owned, then compactor operation can be put out later for proposals and bids, he added. Before a decision is made on compactors, the board should determine whether it wants to maintain two ancillary sites “forever” or if the dumpsters are going to be provided only as a temporary measure, Mr. McCarthy continued. r See DUMPSTERS, p. 14 Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter THE AMISSVILLE DUMPSTER SITE looks even worse now than in this photo, taken several weeks ago. 1 Impact statement finds no barriers to four-lane By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer An environmental assessment of the Virginia Department of Transportation’s plan to extend the four laning of Rt. 211 between Washington and Sperryville has found no obstacles in the project’s path. The study, which is required by federal law, was produced by environmental specialists at the state highway department. The report acknowledges “some opposition to this project,” from Rappahannock County residents who “wish to restrict the growth and development which they perceive as accompanying a divided highway.” It notes their prefer ence for “spot improvements” to the existing two-lane road, and that the opponents feel that a four-lane highway “is in excess of what is needed to correct problems of the existing facility.” The most significant impacts found by the study are the relocation of one business, B & B Servicenter, one house just east of the service station, and the abandonment of “some wells” within the construction area. The occupants of the house would be relocated by the highway department into other housing, the report states. As for B & B, “a new piece of property and building will be needed to continue the business. If the owner is unable to obtain these the busi ness will probably close.” In justifying the project, the report explains that Rt. 211 is classified as part of the nationwide arterial highway system, which is designed to supplement the country’s limited access interstate highways. It describes Rt. 211 as “an important link” in the state’s arterial system as it traverses Virginia from New Market in the Shenandoah Valley to the Potomac River outside Washington, D. C. Arterial highways are “to be designed to carry significant volumes of traffic,” including trucks, which the report estimates as making up nine percent of the vehicles on Rt. 211. Traffic volumes, according to the study, are estimated to increase from the present 5,230 vehicles per day to 8,830 per day in 2011. Improving and widening the road, the report concludes, “will provide safer conditions for the mix (of) cars and trucks on the improved section." The environmental impact study notes that the original plan for the fourlane project had included either a bypass of the village of Sperryville or the extension of the divided highway west of the town to the Shenandoah National Park boundary. That plan, first proposed in See RT. 211, p. 14 No deals on river crossing for bypass, says highway planner Maryland official claims Outerbeltway alignment still years away By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON . , Rappahannock Ncwa Staff Writer Speculation that the governors of Maryland and Virginia have agreed on a river crossing for a Western Bypass of Washington, D.C. is untrue, according to Neil Pederson, director of the Office of Planning and Preliminary Engineering for the Maryland State Highway Administration. That rumor drew more attention than did the presentations from the podium at last Thursday’s meeting of the Washington Bypass Study Interagency Task Force. During breaks in the day-long session held at George Mason University in Fairfax, environmentalists, government officials, and staff from Loudoun, Fauquier, and Montgomery counties congregated at the displays in the rear of the room to examine the “mapping products” showing clusters of big red dots indicating “detailed study areas” - read interchanges - at Warrenton, Gainesville, Gilbert’s Comer, Leesburg, and Point of Rocks. This apparent focus on the Route 15 corridor from Gainesville north was seen as evidence that Virginia Governor Gerald L. Baliles has persuaded his Maryland counterpart, William Donald Schaefer, to accept a western route with a crossing at Point of Rocks into Frederick County in return for Virginia’s support for a new bridge near Dumfries in Prince William. “No such deal. . . The only deal that’s been cut was for the study,” said Mr. Pederson, referring to the work by Bellomo-McGee, Inc. to evaluate four possibilities for a bypass of the Washington metropolitan area: build it going east along the Route 301 corridor in Maryland; build it going west from Interstate 95 at Fredericksburg through Prince William, Fauquier, and Loudoun with a new Potomac River crossing above the District; build it going both ways; or don’t build it at all. See OUTERBELTWAY, p. 13 PEC opposes Western bypass By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News SUIT Writer The proposed Wester Bypass of Washington. D.C. currently under study by the Interagency Task Force is not a bypass at all, “but rather a major urban development corridor that would bring unnecessary and undesirable growth pressures to the northern Piedmont,” according to the board of directors of the Warrenton-based Piedmont Environmental Council. In a formal policy statement adopted last month, PEC maintained that if a bypass is needed at all, it should go east of the city “generally along the U. S. Rt. 301 corridor, already being upgraded in the State of Maryland.” PEC projected that a western bypass See PEC, p.14

Highways claim 14 lives RICHMOND — Fourteen motorists lost their lives on Virginia’s highways during the July 4th holiday period, according to preliminary statistics released by Colonel R. L. Suthard, Superintendent of the Virginia State Police. “The loss of life on our highways is always tragic,” said Colonel Suthard, “and it is especially tragic when we learn that only two of the 12 persons killed in passenger vehicles were using their safety belts. Troop 123 takes ribbon at camporee The Shenrapawa District of the Boy Scouts of America held its 1988 “Back to Nature Camporee” at Max Foltz’s farm in Page County. The Panther Patrol of Washington’s Troop 123 was awarded a third place ribbon for its efforts in the activities contest. The competition, based on skills learned by the scouts, included bread baking, plant identification, making natural tea from ingredients scavenged in the woods, measurement of height, weight and distance with home-made tools, and construction of a table using rope lashing and knots. Points were awarded by the judges for the efforts and proficiency of each patrol at each of the 10 scouting skills. First place went to the Bat Patrol of Troop 4, Front Royal, second place was won by the Cobra Patrol of Troop 117 from Mt. Jackson, and the Panthers brought home the third place ribbon to Rappahannock. 61st Annual Front Royal Firemens Bing Crosby Stadium Front Royal, VA FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY JULY 1 3™ru 23 (Closed Sunday) July 20 - Parade July 21 - Fireworks *****RIDE • ALL • U • CAN****** Mon. - Tue. - Wed. $4.00 Thur. - Fri. - Sat. $5.50 RIDES • GAMES • CONCESSIONS • SHOWS Midway by West Virginia Amusement Co.

More than 100 Boy Scouts and 30 leaders from 10 troops participated in the camporee, including Troop 123 from Washington and Troop 50 from Amissville. The camporee, which was hosted by Troop 7 from Luray, also featured a campfire Saturday night and an outdoor church service Sunday morning, given by Rev. William A. Ricketts Jr., pastor of Luray United Methodist Church. Two of the fatal crashes were also alcohol-related.” Troopers issued a total of 6,110 summonses and/or arrests during the holiday period which extended from 6 p.m., Friday, July 1 through midnight, Monday, July 4. The summonses included 4,451 for speeding, 578 for reckless driving, and 203 for driving drunk. They also issued summonses for 283 violations of Virginia’s safety belt law and 16 for child restraint violations. Col. Suthard noted that troopers issued 2,109 summonses to motorists exceeding the new 65 miles per hour speed limit on rural interstate highways. “However,” he added, “there were no fatal crashes on our interstate highways during the July 4th weekend. “Because of the change in speed limits — 65 mph for passenger vehicles, motorcycles, pickup and panel trucks and 55 mph for larger trucks — we plan to continue having as many troopers as we can make available on the rural interstate highways for the next several weeks. With the increase in speed, it is especially critical that motorists obey the speed limits,” Col. Suthard added. JAMES FINES ESTATE ITEMS AT AUCTION SATURDAY - JULY 23,1988 -10:00 A.M.

Board reappropriates $86,032 for RCHS project With little discussion and no argument, the Board of Supervisors last week reappropriated $86,032 remaining in school accounts at the close of the 1987-88 fiscal year, carrying over that amount to 1988-89 to • finish the high school expansion project. Without the board’s action, the $86,032 would have reverted back to the county’s general fund. The bulk of the money — $73,694 — was unexpended in categories for teachers’ salaries and capital outlay; $1,221 comes from sale of the old gym floor, $1,871 from a school auction, and the rest from various other categories. “We’re only requesting what was in last year’s budget that we didn’t spend,” explained Superintendent David Gangel. Along with the revenue request came a detailed account of how the money will be used; at $22,103, auditorium seating tops the list of “capital outlay needs from year-end funds.” According to Dr. Gangel, purchase orders have already been issued for the seating and some of the other 43 items on the list but receipts didn’t arrive in time for payment before the June 30 deadline for expenditure from the 1987-88 budget. The report submitted by Dr. Gangel shows $8,076 unspent in federal funds which may be carried over without concurrence from the supervisors. In addition, an extra $10,187 is expected to come in from the state in July and August for the 1987-88 school budget. “We’re hot asking for that now. We’ll take a look at where we stand, and if we have additional needs, we’ll come back,” the superintendent said. The reappropriation will essentially complete the high school expansion project, although at the bottom of the list of capital outlay needs under the heading “for future consideration,” the school board has included $20,000 to $45,0000 for a permanent parking lot between the baseball field and track and $4,000 to $6,000 for air conditioning the teachers’ lounge. “Is there any thought of air conditioning the new auditorium?” asked County Administrator John McCarthy. “Not at this point in time,” said Dr. Gangel, but adding air conditioning for that section had been a part of the initial expansion project before shortfalls in funding required reductions in the scope of the work. (Essentially, it is those deletions that are being restored with the reappropriated funds.) The superintendent reported that the RCHS construction project is running two weeks behind schedule but he assured the supervisors that the county will not incur additional interest penalties on the $1.5 million literary loan awarded for the expansion. In other action at the July board meeting, the supervisors: • amended the local Agricultural and Forestal District' ordinance to allow for such districts to be established for a term of four to 10 years and set the minimum lot size for subdivisions in an AFD at 50 acres. • renewed the C. E. Johnson Agricultural and Forestal District, the county’s first AFD, for 10 years. • named Jesse Pond and Hazel Zmn-Day to the Rappahannock Recreation Authority and Susan Parrish to the special committee investigating the implementation of “911” as an emergency number countywide. • approved application for a county credit card to be used by John McCarthy, Sheriff John Henry Woodward, and authorized deputies for travel expenses while on county business. • set the interest rate at eight percent on $24,764 borrowed by the Washington Volunteer Fire Department to pay off its Fanners Home Administration loan. • approved changes in the building fee schedule, lowering the rate charged for inspection of unimproved structures such as pole barns which have neither plumbing nor electricity. • directed Mr. McCarthy to determine the state-established limits on penalties for hunting or attempting to hunt within 100 yards of a public road. When the board previously adopted this local ordinance no penalties were set, an omission undiscovered until a case involving' the regulation was recently brought to court, Sheriff Woodward reported. “How about confiscation of the vehicle and a $1,000 fine? That’s what they do in the [Shenandoah National] Park,” Supervisor Mike Massie noted, only to be advised that the county may not enact penalties more stringent than the state’s. Once Mr. McCarthy reports back on the state’s penalty limits, the ordinance will be readvertised and readopted. As “working papers,” legal opinion remains confidential During the reading of the accounts, Supervisor Massie commented on a $450 payment to attorney Frank Reynolds. Mr. McCarthy explained that the bill is for a legal opinion involving Rappahannock’s Agricultural and Forestal District regulations and that portions may be used if the county is later involved in a lawsuit. He reminded the supervisors that excerpts from Mr. Reynolds’ opinion were delivered to them individually before the board meeting convened. Mr. McCarthy denied the Rappahannock News’ request for a copy of those excerpts, holding that the documents were working papers and thus exempt from disclosure under Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act. He did confirm, however, that the opinion relates to an attempt to subdivide a parcel under the guise of a boundary adjustment from the Windrush property on Jericho Road (Rt. 637) and that he has refused to approve the subdivision. County puts Rappahannock Lakes problem in Dr. Williams’ lap By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer On Sept. 15, the state Health Department will begin granting well permits for private wells “and there will come the crunch at Rappahannock Lakes,” County Administrator John McCarthy told the supervisors last week. “We have a ‘Catch 22'," Mr. McCarthy noted. Property owners who want to build on their unimproved lots in the small lot subdivision near Amissville must have a well permit but the local Health Department won’t give any for Rappahannock Lakes because the development was “approved” with a public water system. But according to the Health Department’s regional Division of Water Programs in Culpeper, which has the responsibility for monitoring and regulating community water systems, Rappahannock Lakes has no such thing, and the well originally intended to provide water for the community system produces only 11/2 gallons per minute, inadequate even for the five residences still connected to it.

Day realtorv REHAB TAX CREDITS QUESTION: Does the latest Tax Reform Law eliminate tax credits for rehabbing historic and very old buildings? ANSWER: The Tax Reform Law reduces, but does not eliminate. the big tax credit for rehabilitating certain types of buildings. The credit is equal to a percentage of the cost of rehabilitating older commercial and industrial properties and certified historic structures (including residential properties). Under the old rules, the credit was 25% for historic structures, 20% for nonhistone buildings at least 40 years old and 15% for nonhistone buildings over 30 years old. Now there are only two credits: a 20% credit for rehabilitating historic structures and a 10% credit for commercial properties placed in service before 1936. Remember, a tax credit is more valuable than a deduction. A deduction reduces taxable income ' but a credit is subtracted from the amount of taxes owed.

Responsibility lies with developer By consensus, the board members agreed that action to resolve the impasse should rightfully come from the Homeowners’ Association and should be directed at Dr. James Williams, the Front Royal dentist who created the substandard development. Created in 1958, prior to adoption of the county’s zoning and subdivision ordinances, Rappahannock Lakes consists of 57 lots, most approximately one-third of an acre. The development was never approved by the county; before enactment of land use controls, subdivisions were simply recorded. But Rappahannock Lakes “was recorded with statements regarding the provision of a public water system,” Mr. McCarthy noted. In addition, the Health Department’s Division of Water Programs recognized the system as a public water system as late as 1979; by Health Department definition, a public system is one that has 15 or more connections or serves more than 25 persons year-round. Until 1979, the water system for Rappahannock Lakes subdivision was monitored and water samples tested in accord with Health Department standards for community systems. In the fall of 1978, fecal coliform was detected in the water. The Health Department ordered a suspect spring disconnected from the system, which then had 24 serv RIVERSIDE AUTO SERVICE C.B.

Photo courtes) Bluemont Concert Series PLAY his homespun blues in War oiues masters on Warren Green The Bluemont Concert Series will present an evening with two great blues musicians, John Jackson and Paul Geremia, in concert on Saturday, July 16, on the lawn of Warren Green Hotel in downtown Warrenton. The concert will be held at 7:30 p.m. Requested donation is $2 per person, and the public is welcome. John Jackson of Fairfax Station, Virginia is acknowledged one of the country’s great rural blues guitar players and singers. A Rappahannock County native, he was raised in the F.T. Valley near Sperryville where he began playing the guitar as soon as he was big enough to hold one. A largely self-taught musician, Mr. Jackson has performed his music at major festivals and concerts all over the United States. John has traveled around the world twice for the State Department cultural tours, performed at the White House for every administration since the 196’s and recorded five of his own albums. In 1986 he was awarded a prestigious National Heritage Fellowship by the National Endowment for the Arts. Paul Geremia from Newport, Rhode Island is a virtuoso, hardtraveling, country blues guitar player and singer. Gamble Rogers told a Bluemont Concert spokesman that he thought Paul Geremia was “one of the greatest performers in the country today.” Mr. Geremia performs on 6- and 12-string guitars and harmonica. He is a renowned musicologist and historian of the blues as a unique American cultural heritage. His sense of humor and sense of the beauty and power of the blues help make Paul Geremia’s performances a wonderful experience. The evening with John Jackson and Paul Geremia should be one of the musical highlights of our summer. John Jackson and Paul Geremia will be peforming this weekend at local nursing homes and hospitals as part of the Bluemont Concert Series Community Benefit Program. These performances continue throughout the year. The lawn of the historic Warren Green Hotel is a beautiful setting to hear a concert. While there is no admission charged, people attending the concerts are encouraged to contribute towards the cost of the evening. There is plenty of parking available and downtown Culpeper Street is closed to vehicular traffic during the concert. Families are encouraged to bring a blanket or lawn chairs and a picnic if they like. Delicious homemade refreshments will often be available at intermission prepared by local community organizations. Concerts will be held outdoors whenever possible. In the event of bad weather, this concert will be held indoors at Warrenton Junior High School. Follow signs from Warren Green.

THURSDAY, JULY 14, 1988 Editorial The solution Hubert Gilkey, chairman of the county’s board of supervisors, last week provided an example of the problem Rappahannock faces with its dumpsters. He told the board of a Warren County resident who drove to Chester Gap looking for a dumpster to throw away his garbage. He was told that only Rappahannock County residents can legally use the county’s dumpster sites. He replied that he knew that, but he had been assured by a real estate agent in Warren County that there would be no problem with him using the dumpsters anyway. No problem? That’s not what we see. What we see is discarded appliances, broken furniture, crumbled roofing tiles, chunks of concrete, nail-studded boards and other refuse from building sites, tree and brush trimmings, and garbage everywhere — in and around the county’s dumpster sites. Much of it is probably from county residents who are legally disposing of their trash. But we’d bet that at least some of the mess — and perhaps a substantial portion — is deposited by out-of-county people like that Warren County resident. They find a trip over Chester Gap, or across the Culpeper/Rappahannock line to Amissville, quicker and easier than a drive to their own county’s landfill. And they can do it at their convenience, not during the restricted hours of the county-operated landfills nearby. The problem of illegal dumping, and the mess created by those slobs too lazy to put their garbage in the dumpsters, is a priority which needs to be addressed by the board of supervisors. It at least two dumpster sites are retained, as appears possible, we advocate fencing them and allowing dumping only when someone is there to supervise it. That would allow the county to control both who dumps and what they discard. And, we urge again that the supervisors request stiff penalties for those found violating the dumping and littering laws. As noted previously in this column, littering is a Class 1 misdemeanor in Virginia, punishable by up to a $1,000 fine and/or 12 months in jail. Perhaps it’s time for Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke to request the limit for violators. A few $1,000 fines, with suspended jail terms to be served if the individual is found guilty of additional violations, would get the attention of those who refuse to abide by the regulations. Some community service hours, to be spent cleaning up the dumpster sites, might also get the point across while saving the county some money. These may sound like draconian penalties for what some would consider an insignificant offense. But the offense is perpetrated against all the residents of the county, and its visitors. No one wants to look at the mess at the dumpster sites, much less go there to use them. And, there’s a potential health hazard created by the piles of brush, mattresses and garbage bags as rodents and other pests are drawn there. Right now, Rappahannock’s dumpsters are a disgrace. They don’t speak well for the county or its residents. If the Huntly dumpster site were transplanted to another locality and we drove past it, what would we think of the residents there — and their attitudes about their county? What do visitors to Rappahannock think about us as they drive north on Rt. 522? A change in the way the county addresses the problem of dumping is overdue. If polite requests and bold-lettered signs don’t get the attention of the stubborn slobs who persist in making a mess, perhaps a swift, hard, expensive kick in the wallet will. Acreage reports due “Farmers who have planted corn, sorghum, soybeans and all other spring seeded crops are reminded that now is the time to report the sizes and intended uses of their 1988 program crops,” Rappahannock Agriculture Stablization and Conservation Committee Chairman T.V. Williams Jr., said. Crop certification is necessary before the farmer can receive deficiency payments, price support loans and other farm program benefits, he said. Producers participating in this year’s acreage reduction programs are required to report crops and acreages planted, the uses to be made of these crops, cropland acres to be devoted to the acreage conservation reserve and acres diverted for payment. Mr. Williams added that growers not participating in the programs should still report their acreages to insure future benefits and protect acreage bases. As of June 15, 53 farmers in the county had reported their 1988 crops. Acreage reports may be filed Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. at the Rappahannock ASCS office, on Gay St. in Washington. Rappahannock County producers are encouraged to certify crops as soon as possible. For more information about this or any other ASCS programs, call 675-3616. Commentary Rappahannock News photo/Daphne Hutchinson Rappahannock Heritage Letters to the editor Rt. 211 expansion will increase traffic A v bi IV V* 1 b V* • It is important that Rappahannock residents be aware of very significant recent developments regarding the proposed dual-laning of Rt. 211 between Washington and Sperryville. 1) Commissioner Ray Pethtel of the Virginia Transportation Board has written a prominent Virginia politician indicating that the proposed widening of the highway to Sperryville will be followed at a later time by a widening of the section from Sperryville to the climbing lane up to the Park. He states: “This section of Route 211 is a part of the State's arterial network. As such, it is intended to complement and supplement the interstate system to form the backbone for highway transportation in Virginia. This corridor has been completed to a multi-lane facility with the exception of the 8-mile section from Washington to the climbing lane west of Sperryville, and a short section in the town of New Market.” 2) VDOT’s “environmental assessment” of the impact of the proposed widening also makes it very clear that VDOT envisions Route 211 as a major artery, supplementing the interstate highway system. It is being “designed to carry significant volumes of traffic.” 3) The environmental assessment also stresses that it is VDOT’s intention to facilitate truck traffic on Rt. 211. The document states: “Truck traffic is estimated at 9 percent on Route 211 .. . Widening the road will provide safer conditions for the mix of cars and trucks on the improved section . . . Improving the turning radius from Rt. 522 onto Rt. 211 will allow trucks easier access to Route 211.” Also: “Banning truck traffic on Kt. 211 is not a possibility because the road is an arterial which is designed for heavy truck usage." Are our Supervisors and Planning Commissioners aware of V DOT’s plan to encourage increased, non-local use of Rt. 211 by cars as well as trucks? What impact will this have on other major routes in the county, such as Rts. 522 and 231? Does this widening tie into the new truck port in Front Royal and its plans of stimulating trucking business within a 200-mile radius? VDOT is expecting traffic to nearly double on Rt. 211 by the year 2011. What impact would such traffic have on this county’s vision of its purpose, as expressed in our zoning ordinance, as remaining primarily rural and agricultural in nature? As has been stressed time and again, there are those in the county who belieVe that the proposed duallaning (even if it is somehow permanently stopped at Sperryville, which seems most unlikely) is not in keeping with our county’s stated intention of remaining fundamentally agricultural. There are many ways the highway can be improved short of duallaning (such as widening shoulders and adding turn-off lanes). It could well be in the next 20 or 30 years that farmland around big cities will become increasingly precious; that the projected transportation growth will not materialize on account of changing economic and environmental conditions; and that the treasures we already cherish in Rappahannock will be more valuable, and scarce, than ever. Please think deeply about these issues and come to the public hearing on the matter on Thursday, July 21 at 7 p.m. at the elementary school. STELLA CADWALADER Woodville SRK. ROOM FOR THE KIDS/ Thanks for your help To the editor: I would like to thank the whole county of Rappahannock for the two wonderful years of work that I have experienced as your Public Health Nurse. Right from the very beginning, I was welcomed an 1 accepted by all in my new role. 1 hope that I have been able to add just as much back into the community. I believe that this county’s other services have cooperated and worked more closely with the Health Department than other counties where I have worked. In particular, I have enjoyed the continued help from the Social Services Department, the County School Board, Elementary and High Schools. I have also appreciated the assistance given by private groups and organizations, especially Drs. Martin and Krebser and Dr. Mayberry. Many stores have helped in the advertisement of different clinics. A great deal of gratitude is given to the Rappahannock News in their support of stories, advertisements and coverage of different Health Department events. I am very truly grateful for all the clients and patients that have used the Health Department’s facilities and programs. We are always trying to improve these services and make them more available. I hope that you will support the new nurse as much as you have supported me. I hope that with the new Health Department facilities coming this winter that more of the public will partake in the services. I hope that the part-time dental services can also be expanded soon. I leave not out of frustration or disappointment, but only to continue in school at the University of Virginia this fall. I will be working on a Master’s degree in Rural Health and working toward receiving a family nurse practitioner license. Afterward, my wife and I hope to return overseas as missionaries. Again, thank you for a wonderful two years, and we will think of, and return to, Rappahannock County as frequently as we can. JOHN SEXTON, RN Public Health Nurse Rappahannock County Rural areas, once lost, are gone forever To the editor: Having moved away from Rappahannock County to Washington state in 1986, I have gained some comparative insight. I can tell you a little about what you have that you might not fully appreciate and, if you lose it, you will never get it back. I’m talking about the result of rapid growth and zoning laws that allow it. Most metropolitan areas of the country are expanding like Washington, D.C. and there is increasing pressure to urbanize rural areas. > Here, outside Seattle where just a few years ago was nothing but forests and unspoiled rivers and streams, are new subdivision after subdivision, apartment complexes and shopping centers, new schools, higher taxes, more cars, more malls, more traffic jams, more crime, more noise and most noticeable, more people who are only concerned about themselves right now. There are less trees, less ducks, (people want to kill them all because they are messy), there are no bears, less salmon, less privacy, and, a lesser quality of life in my opinion. People living on the Puget Sound would like to exterminate the sea lions because they make too much noise and eat the fish. r What I do know is that once the 1 laws are changed in favor of growth; • there are two ways in which they are" reversed: by drastic economic hard- - ship such as the downturns in the I auto and steel industries which af-I flicted Detroit and Pittsburgh.

Op-Ed Increase in minimum wage is overdue By DAVID H. LAWS Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer The U.S. House of Representatives will soon vote on H.R. 1834, the Minimum Wage Restoration Act. If passed, this legislation could restore some vestige of the American dream to millions of poor Americans for whom hard work no longer ensures economic survival. The minimum wage was first established at 25 cents per hour in 1938. Since that time Congress has periodically adjusted it to keep pace with the general economy. These wage adjustments thus ensured that every worker would be paid enough to achieve a decent minimum standard of living. | Opinion However, since the last increase in 1981, the value of the current $3.35 minimum wage has fallen by 29 percent. Today, it is worth only $2.36 in 1981 dollars. That’s a fulltime income of about $6,700 a year - not even enough to keep one adult and one child above the poverty line. 1 he concept that people, who are willing to find jobs and work, should not have to live in poverty seems fair enough to most Americans. But, the Reagan Administration and other minimum wage detractors are already hard at work to come up with excuses to oppose the bill. The ones most often heard go something like this: 1) “If you raise the minimum wage, you will cause unemployment and hurt the people you want to help,” and 2) “Anyway, these workers are mostly just middle-class kids earning pocket money, and they really don’t need any more.” No canard has been more fully debunked by the facts that the erroneous assertion that a minimum wage increase causes, massive unemployment. But low-wage employers and smoke-and-mirror economists dust it off every time an increase is proposed. In 1966 the Secretary of Labor told Congress: “The record is that following the original establishment of the minimum wage . . . employment in the United States always went up.” This has been true for every increase but one in the 50 year history of the minimum wage. And that one increase came in 1975 when the recession of the mid-loro’s hit bottom. This really shouldn’t be so surprising. Any increase in income to poor people is spent and spent quickly on life’s necessities. Their earnings are high velocity dollars that rapidly work their way into the local economy. And when people who haven’t been able to buy start buying, it creates more jobs, more purchasing power, more consumer demand and that will stimulate the economy in general. Government statistics also easily disprove the second agrument: that minimum wage workers are young, middle-class teenagers making discretionary incomes. Today, more than eight million workers in America are paid no more than the minimum wage of $3.35. Eighty-four percent of these workers are adults, age 18 or over. In addition, 60 percent are women, many of them the sole support of children. But the inadequacy of the minimum wage makes it essential that there be more than one worker in the family. Nonetheless, in 1986, 40 percent of minimum wage workers were the sole earners in their households. In fact, 35 percent of all mini mum wage workers were living below the poverty line. An additional 22 percent hovered just above it. Sadly the majority of these workers are eligible for some type of government assistance: welfare, medicaid or food stamps. In other words, they are tax users that perpetuate government deficits. But they can’t help that. They are the victims of employers who are paying poverty wages. Those same employers are the ones who are forcing taxpayers to help poor workers make ends meet through even higher social welfare subsidies. Now that’s corporate welfare! Adjusting the minimum wage is good economic and social policy. If enacted into law, H.R. 1834 will remove thousands of full-time workers from the public assistance rolls, give low-wage workers a way out of poverty, and ease the plight of the working poor for whom the American dream in 1988 has become a nightmare.

FRENCH SLAUGHTER Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The accidental downing of an Iranian passenger plane — mistaken to be an Iranian fighter plane — by an American warship, the U.S.S. Vincennes, on July 3 over the Persian Gulf was indeed a terrible tragedy and cause for deep regret. The Pentagon has stated that the ship’s commander acted in the belief that his vessel was in danger from an Iranian fighter plane. There is; however, conflicting information surrounding this incident and it should be our first priority to investigate the factors that caused the U.S.S. Vincennes to fire on the Iranian plane. It is my understanding that a team of Navy experts is already in( vestigating this incident. We should maintain our air and . naval forces, as we have, in the Persian Gulf because it is important that we protect our national security interests — as well as those of our allies — in that region. However, our mission in the Gulf should be clearly defined and we should proceed cautiously and in conjunction with our allies in this policy, as it appears we have done. The United States should not act alone in this venture as the interests of our European allies and some of our Arab friends are also involved. Coordination of this policy is essential in order to minimize the vul nerability of American forces in the Persian Gulf. In any event, it is not in our national interest to become involved in an extended combat situation or armed conflict in the Persian Gulf because strategic and geographic factors prevent the full weight of our military strength from being used in that volatile region. Space still a priority This week the space shuttle Discovery, which will fly the first shuttle mission since the Challenger tragedy, was moved to its launch pad at Cape Canaveral, Florida in preparation for its scheduled takeoff in September. While there have been many setbacks in the rebuilding of our space program since the Challenger disaster in 1986, a strong space program is critical to our nation if we are to realize our potential for private commercial development and our scientific understanding of space. I recently became an original cosponsor of legislation in the House of Representatives to continue an aggressive space program which combines manned and unmanned exploration of the universe.

As a member of the House Space, Science and Technology Committee, I believe our space program has been built on a solid record of achievement, to the great benefit of our nation as a whole. I certainly hope the space program will remain one of our highest national priorities. The use of illegal drugs is one of our nation’s most serious problems. I have recently cosponsored legislation in the House of Representatives, H.R. 4446, to combat the escalating problem of drugs in America. This legislation, called the Drug Free America Act of 1988, would permit our military forces to participate in drug control activities outside U.S. borders and provides $45 million for 1988 to restore funds for the Coast Guard’s drug enforcement efforts. In addition, this drug bill would create stiffer penalties for drug offenders, including the mandatory death penalty for drug-related murders. H.R. 4446 would also provide better drug education for our nation’s youth by improving the quality of Federal and state programs under the direction of the Depart-, ment of Education. Finally, this legislation would create a Cabinet-level office to coordinate these and other domestic and international drug programs. This office would terminate in eight years.

The CRP is an excellent way for a fanner to take “highly erodible land” out of annually tilled crops, a spokesman for the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service said. The farmer must submit a bid to place land in the CRP. -The land presently does not have to be cropped, as long as it was cropped twice from 19811985, the spokesman said. The farmer submits a bid or an annual rental payment. If approved, that farmer would receive that amount for 10 years. The land must remain idle for 10 years and may not be hayed or grazed for the duration of the contract. So far, Rappahannock farmers have enrolled 25.5 acres in the CRP, according to statements filed at the county ASCS office. They will receive about $1,100 in rental payments per year for retiring the acreage from crop production and enrolling in the CRP. Interested parties should contact the Rappahannock County ASCS office, located on Gay St. in Washington (675-3616).

Choose pet food based on animal’s needs not ads Anyone who has watched television or visited a supermarket knows that pet foods are big business in America. Kent Roberts, companion animal extension specialist at the Virginia/Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine at Virginia Tech, said there are approximately 15,000 commercial pet foods marketed by almost 3,000 manufacturers across the country. “This is a tremendous array of products. Pet owners often find it confusing to know what particular brand to buy for their pets," Mr. Roberts said. The Extension Service veterinarian said that the selection of a pet food is important because it has a critical impact on the animal’s health and longevity. Unfortunately, most g■■ 1 —1 1 — pet owners select their pet food on “emotion, promotion, and their own likes and dislikes. “The marketing and promotion of pet food is aimed at the tastes of the owner, not necessarily at what the animal wants or needs,” Mr. Roberts said. Pet foods generally fall into one of four categories: dry food, semimoist, canned and “treats.” Sales Agues show that 81 percent of the dog food and 63 percent of the cat food purchased is of the dry variety. The so-called “dry” food contains between 6 and 10 percent water, while semi-moist has between 25 and 40 percent, and canned pet food runs between 68 and 78 percent. The pet food companies place a lot of emphasis in their advertising on the palatability of the product. “Palatability,” Mr. Roberts said, “is important but it does not always have a direct correlation to the quality of the ingredients. Premimum brands emphasize optimal nutrition, which is what should interest responsible pet owners.” Quality diets, he explained, are made from quality ingredients, are balanced, and provide good palatability with low volume stool production. An animal’s diet should be based on age, weight, and its activity. Growth, pregnancy, and high levels of exercise place more demands on the animal and its diet. Generic or private label brands tend to be of lower quality while the premium brands and special diets generally are of the best quality, he said. “Feeding more of a poor diet is not a satisfactory solution to supplying proper nutrition for any animal,” Mr. Roberts concluded.

Members of the Virginia Theatre community are invited to Virginia Theaterworks to create a network for people who are interested in nurturing the work of new playwrights. Registration at the conference is available Friday afternoon and evening, July 15 and all day on Saturday, July 16 for those interested in attending. For the second year, the workshop/conference will be held at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia. All sessions will be open to all registered observer/participants who will have ample opportunity to ask questions of and give feedback to the working process. Conference topics will include some of the broader issues of play writing as well as an exploration of opportunities within the Commonwealth. Round table discussions between directors, actors, playwrights and producers will alternate with rehersal segments. Tom Evans, a workshop leader, said that the plays should be a cooperative effort in which everyone would be able to participate and lend suggestions. Participants, who will be cast ip the “plays-in-progress” will be faced with different rehersal situations than they are normally accustomed to. “When you have a favorite line cut or a new line added, it changes your whole character," said Saih Smiley, one of last year’s workshop leaders, “and that’s going to happen a lot.” For further information about Virginia Theaterworks, please contact ShenanArts, the sponsoring organization of The Shenandoah Valley Playwrights Retreat (70S) 248-1868. CCLC contributors receive tax break The Child Care and Learning Center was notified by the Virginia Department of Social Services that it has been chosen as a recipient of the Virginia Neighborhood Assistance Act for 1988-89. This certification, which took effect July 1, is awarded by the state to only a few not-for-profit institutions in Virginia. The celebration allows contributors to CCLC to benefit from a 50 percent Virginia Tax Credit on their gifts to the center. The Virginia Neighborhood Assistance Act was enacted by the leg islature in 1984 to encourage businesses and corporations in Virginia to support social service programs which serve the disadvantaged. The Child Care and Learning Center was one of the first recipients of this certification and it has been renewed for four consecutive years. A business, professional person or anyone filing a Virginia business tax is eligible for a direct credit, dollar for dollar, against their Virginia income tax equal to one-half of any contribution they make to The Learning Center. Contributions in kind, as well as in cash, will qualify for this credit. The Learning Center is soliciting gifts under the Neighborhood Assistance Act for scholarships for children needing day care, for playground equipment, for a safety turning lane off Rt. 211 and for the building of a covered pavillion to house summer program and activities for school-age children. Further information is available through CCLC by contacting its director Carrie Anabo (675-3237). With proper handling dairy products keep It is a dilemma everyone faces. You go into your refrigerator for a glass of milk on Saturday morning and yesterday’s expiration date is stamped on the carton. Is the milk still safe to drink or should you throw it out? If the product has been properly stored and transported from the dairy processor to your supermarket and then to your home, it should be good for another five to seven days after the date stamped on the carton. That means that the temperature in your refrigerator must be about 38 degrees Fahrenheit and you must not have left the milk out on the counter for an extended period of INCORPORATED Regular Sales Every Tuesday HORSESALE 2nd Sat , 10 a.m . Every Month STATE GRADE FAT CATTLE 1st.

For further information call 364-1566 1 mile east of Marshall on Rt 55 time. Dairy products are one of our most perishable foods. Use these tips as a guideline to determine how long you can keep milk and milk products past the expiration date: Milk and Cream - These products can be stored five to seven days after the expiration date provided they have been properly refrigerated (38 degrees F.). Natural Cheeses - Cured cheeses will keep for several weeks if refrigerated. Yogurt - Yogurt can be kept 15. days or more with normal refrigenh tion. The longer you keep it, the more tart it will taste. Sour Cream - Sour cream may be kept two or three weeks with normal refrigeration, but peak flavor lasts only one week. f WoodviUe area news Mrs. Chloe Brown and Bonnie Brown were Wednesday visitors of Mrs. Mabel Gore.

Blue skies, blue waters, blueberries! By SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Ajrent, Home Economics It’s that time again. Suddenly a big splash of blue appears in the supermarket’s produce department. Fresh blueberries have arrived! Blueberries are a frun fruit because they welcome in the happy summer days of blue skies and blue waters. These tiny berries are sometimes tagged as a convenience food because there is no pitting, peeling or waste. They are characterized by having a uniform size and a deep rich color. When selecting, choose blueberries that are plump, firm, without mold or blemishes. Blueberries should not be washed until ready for use. They will keep in a dry, covered container or moisture-proof bag for a couple of days in the refrigerator. These berries can be frozen at 0 degrees F. for several weeks or months. A slight loss of flavor and texture may be experienced. The most popular way is to wash and dry berries, spread berries one layer thick on sheet, tray or pan. Cover with waxed paper and freeze. When frozen, put in sealable plastic bags or covered container. Add the berries directly to batter without thawing. Dieters find blueberries a welcome friend. High in vitamin C, they have only 42 calories per 1/2 cup serving. Cultivated blueberries are produced commercially in Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oregon, Washington, Georgia, and Arkansas. Wild blueberries are produced commercially in Maine, New Hampshire, and the Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia, Quebec, Newfoundland, and Prince Edward Island. Today, blueberries are the second largest crop, behind strawberries. Create something beautiful with blueberries by making one or more of these mouthwatering dishes given below.

And he reaffirmed Maryland’s concern regarding the increased development pressure which a Western Bypass would bring, should there be a new river crossing into the rural agricultural sections of Montgomery County. As to the concentration of detailed study areas along the Route 15 corridor, BMI’s Sally Liff said that the consulting firm had inherited those particular “product maps.” After work has progressed further, a determination will be made on the location of the 16 “special interest areas” - presumably interchange sites - to be mapped on a scale of 1‘: 200’ under the terms of the consulting contract, according to BMI’s representatives. There were other indicators that endorsement of a western bypass is not a foregone conclusion, particularly on the part of Maryland officials. The planning director for Maryland’s highways reported detailed studies on the two final candidates for eastern corridors will be completed by the fall of 1989. But for the western bypass alternatives, “it will probably be years before we get to that level of detail if the decision is made to proceed with that type of planning,” Mr. Pederson added. And the representation of resource and planning agencies from Maryland - which “owns” both banks of the Potomac and thus controls bridge construction - signaled that state’s continued concern with the land use and environmental issues posed by a new superhighway coming west across the river into areas planned to stay predominantly agricultural. (In comparison to the 20-some representatives from Maryland offices, there were no delegations from the Commonwealth’s agencies at Thursday’s meeting. The single representative outside of the Task Force members was Robert Dennis, president of the Piedmont Environmental Council, who by the governor’s appointment is also chairman of the Rappahannock River Basin Citizens Committee for the Chesapeake Bay.) Two alternatives for western and eastern routes In the 18-month study, BMI will begin with 12 alternatives and narrow the choices to two finalists for both eastern and western routes, based on environmental, engineering, traffic, and land use factors. The highway itself is primarily intended to serve through-truck traffic by routing it around the region, said BMI’s Salvatore Bellomo. “We’re not talking about an outer beltway ... What we’re looking at is a bypass.” The bypass would be an interstate-type facility designed for traffic to travel at 70 miles per hour; it would have four to six lanes and an 80 foot median strip wide enough to allow expansion, a total right-of-way of 450 feet, and controlled access with interchanges “a minimum of two miles apart” at “strategic junction points,” according to BMI’s representatives speaking at Thursday’s meeting. Environmental issues to be taken into account in the evaluation of the different routes include: • Does the alternative traverse areas legally protected from construction? • Would species, habitats, or resources be eliminated? • Does the alternative disturb agricultural resources? • Does it require the taking of public lands? • Does it eliminate wetlands? • Does it affect floodplain? As to what constitutes a matter of concern versus a “fatal flaw” for a specific alternative, the consulting firm will follow national standards where possible but BMI’s enviromental engineer pointed out that few such standards exist. For instance, he said, the taking of a national historic site would be a fatal flaw, but the bridging of a scenic river would be an environmental concern which could be mitigated. Different jurisdictions might consider different environmental problems as fatal flaws, he said, adding “we’ll be working with the local perspectives in terms of the value of the alternatives.” There is no system for ranking concerns, say by giving protection of water resources more weight than air quality, according to the consultants. Large scale maps for the alternative routes will show watersheds, aquifer boundaries (but not recharge areas), threatened and endangered species, parks, forests, “sensitive areas,” National Register sites, and scenic rivers while smaller scale maps for the study corridors and alignment corridors will delineate steeply sloped areas, Wetlands, high probability for cultural sites, the 100-year flood plain, aquifer boundaries, and prime and unique agricultural lands. The mapping process will demonstrate “how these things overlay” and effort will be made to avoid having fragile environmental areas impacted by “development engendered by the transportation facility,” the engineer said. To questions from Loudoun’s legislative liason Memory Porter, he confirmed that Agricultural and Forestal Districts and open space easements held by the Virginia Outdoors Foundation will be included in the environmental inventory. “We have that information for some counties. We’ll make sure we get it for the rest.” A Montgomery County planner contended that maps for the bypass study to be used in the initial evaluation of alternative routes should show local land use plans. “There are planned uses of land that should be mapped . . . (areas planned for specific uses which) should be avoided just as much as wetlands, critical^ areas, or eagle habitat.” While maintaining “it’s hard to" map a marshmallow that’s moving around,” Mr. Bellomo replied that the consulting firm intends to show zoning designations and “planned land uses” on maps for the study. Cost and financing “I’m not prepared to give out any numbers with press in the room,” said Mr. Pederson, responding to a request for a “back-of-the-envelope ball park figure” for either the eastern or western alternative. “But it will be in the many hundreds of millions of dollars.” As to the how of financing, the two highway departments must grapple with that issue, Maryland’s highway planning director said. “We need to go through the study process to determine if there’s something to pursue . .. We need to establish that we have the potential for a project before we begin chasing after the dollars,” said Dick Lockwood, director of planning for the Virginia Department of Transportation. “If we had a project on the shelf now, ready to go, we’d face a problem of very large magnitude in how to ftind it.” He added, however, that “opportunities will be coming along” and cited specifically the options for “tolls, special legislation, eligibility for federal funding, and special assessment districts.” “In all candor, it would be unrealistic to think we’re not going to be getting some sort of federal assistance (for a bypass project),” said Mr. Pederson. He noted that allocation of financial resources for such intra-regional transportation facilities as a bypass versus facilities which service metropolitan growth versus alternative transportation systems will be “debated long and hard” in Maryland in the coming four to five years. And when all the studies are completed for the proposed bypass, the results may show that “the cost is so high we can’t begin to think about financing anything,” Mr. Pederson said, adding, however, “it’s unlikely well reach that conclusion.” Once the final east and west route candidates are determined, cost will be estimated for “each alternative or combination of alternatives.” The projection will incorporate roadway construction, based on per mile figure; structures, including bridges, culverts, and retaining walls calculated from an agreed upon dollar value per square foot; rightof-way acquisition determined by an average worth in the area for undeveloped land, developed land, and structures, plus relocation assistance; and project planning and preliminary engineering at a standard percentage of the total. The comparison will measure the cost of one alternative against another and will not take into account improvements in existing roads necessitated by a bypass. While acknowledging that the issue “is not one we can ignore,” Mr. Pederson explained “it’s not within the scope of this study to estimate the cost of improvements needed elsewhere in the system as a result of the bypass being built.... It’s not a rigorous cost analysis.” But he did say that the study will indicate where traffic problems may arise elsewhere in that' system. According to Mr. Bellomo, once the alternative routes are decided, the consulting firm will “set up criteria for the interchange spacing . . . look at junction points” and forecast changes in land use and traffic flows arising from the new transportation facility. The citing of interchanges “is one of the major issues on which we expect feedback from the local jurisdictions” in the superhighway’s path, ! added Mr. Pederson. Local jurisdictions will also be expected to provide data on the “holding capacity” for each district. That information will be factored into a complicated formula as part of current land use statistics, which when coupled with employment by type, population income, and “impedance matrix”, a combination of distance and time between residence and emplyment, will forecast the effect of the bypass on future land use. The DRAM residential reallocation model and IMPAL employment model, developed at the University of Pennsylvania and used previously by BMI for planning projects elsewhere in the U.S., is “the best state of the art,” Mr. Bellomo said. The models will give the year 2010 distribution of population, households, and employment for each of the 12 bypass route alternatives being evaluated in the preliminary stages of the study. The models will also provide data on jobs to be gained or lost in each district as a result of bypass construction and an evaluation of the “pressure of un Rock Continued from page 1 at a spot originally intended for deposit of excess dirt would eliminate 1,200 feet of leachate pipe, four junction boxes, and lined ditches and bring the first-phase construction costs lower than the original figure. But he still declined to give dollar estimates, explaining that to do so might limit negotiations with the contractor on an amended construction contract. “Once we bury trash, there’s no salvage value [to the land],” Col. Bingham repeated. Although excavation has begun on the Stover tract, “We could smooth the whole area out, subdivide it into five-acre parcels, and at a minimum we could get $2.5 million and we could pay for a landfill!” “And we’d be opening up a can of worms we’d never get a lid back on!* Mr. Gilkey replied. If the site proves unworkable and the county is forced to abandon plans for a landfill there, then the Stover tract should be sold in one piece, he contended. “If somebody’s going to cut it up, let somebody other than the county cut it up.” Col. Bingham didn’t disagree with selling the 99 acres as a single parcel, but he maintained that “to get top dollar, we almost have to guarantee the developer can do something with it” by giving prior approval to its division into five-acre lots. “I’d rather cut my arm off than do something like that!” Mr. Gilkey insisted. “That will never happen, not as long as I’m chairman.” “I don’t think we’re going to find a better landfill site than we’ve got now,” said Mr. Estes. Mr. Gilkey acknowledged the rock poses a problem but added the consulting engineer seems to have found a solution. “If the state goes along with it, I don’t see where we’ve lost anything,” he said, pointing out that the redesign would give at least the same capacity as the original and maybe even longer with the overall grade of 3:1 and an elevation 20 feet higher than originally planned. By consensus, the board authorized Mr. Joyce to meet with staff of Looking for a bargain? Check the classifieds in fcappatjannocfe Jietog. the Department of Waste Management in Richmond, on Wednesday if possible, to determine if they agree with “the overall concept” of the redesign. The engineer said that the department’s geologist will probably yrant to see more geotechnic work on the balance of the site to better define the rick ridges. “I’ll find out what we need . . . The only question mark is the availability pf borrow material” should the worst case scenario become a reality and excavation be impossible anywhere on the Stover tract. If subsequent phases of the landfill must be “area fill” instead of trench disposal, more seismic lines will be needed to confirm the availability of sufficient dirt for a cover, he explained. “But I’m not concerned. My gut feeling, based on what I’ve seen and what I know about the site, is that there’s plenty of borrow material.” Once the state’s okay has been received, Mr. Joyce will meet with representatives from Rappawan Construction and begin negotiations for a “firm price” on the work for the new design. Then this Friday, Mr. Joyce will report to the board on his progress at a special meeting set for 7 p.m. “Personally, I like the 3:1 slope, and I’d like to see us go to a 575-foot elevation to get more life out of the site,” concluded Mr. Gilkey. “I’d hate for anyone else to have to go through this,” he added, referring to the board’s continuing struggle to establish Rappahannock’s first county landfill. < constrained growth.” The forecasting models are “flexible enough” not only to take into account the differences between Maryland’s and Virginia’s land use policies but the possibility that Virginia’s state government may accord localities a greater degree of control over local land use, Mr. Bellomo said. He confirmed that BMI will work directly with localities, county by county or possibily two counties together, to determine local holding capacity, or the maximum possible residential and commercial development. In this regard, the consultants will take into account “areas that are planned for water and sewer and those that are not,” Mr. Bellomo said, adding that “public policy” ought to be reflected in setting holding capacities. Holding capacity “is probably the single most important parameter for each district,” Mr. Pederson emphasized. If it is set artifically low, “you’re not going to be getting a true sense of the pressure to develop in areas where you don’t want development taking place.” The Montgomery planner countered that a new highway corridor creates “a window of opportunity for developers” and engenders tremendous pressure, as far as two miles from an interchange, to force revisions in land use Dolicies.” Another observor questioned whether the data is even available for the IMPAL and DRAM models. “Do jurisdictions even know what the land use will be in 2010 or what the holding capacity will be based on future plans for server and water?” he asked, adding that even the more sophisticated urban jurisdictions “haven’t gone past the year 2000.” Mr. Bellomo replied that his experience proved IMPAL and DRAM to be accurate forecasting models. “If there’s a better way, we’d like to hear it,” he added. Fauquier’s planning director Richard McNear asked if agricultural lands will be considered “available for development” for the purposes of forecasting. The local jurisidctions will be asked for the holding capacity - “maximum population and maximum jobs” - of its agriculturally-zoned lands and “we’re going to go with that,” Mr. Bellomo replied. “The existing zoning is going in as a constraint . . . What you’ve zoned the land to be.” In Virginia, “to put a constraint on holding capacity based on land use policy is a bit naive,” Mr. McNear countered. He also described the use of sewer capacity for a constraint as “unrealistic” when “developers can put it in where they want to.” In addition, Mr. McNear was critical of forecasting just to the year 2010. “You’re only looking at the impact in that year? The year (according to the current time frame) the bypass will be built? . . . We’re feeling the impacts from the beltway built more than 20 years ago!” “We’re having a hard enough time getting (planned) land use for the year 2010,” Mr. Pederson responded, maintaining it would be vitually impossible to forecast beyond that point. He noted that the Task Force recognizes “perhaps a deficiency” in its forecasts on the proposed bypass’ impact. But the methodology gives “at least an indication of the types of pressure you can expect from this facility,” he concluded. The next meeting of the Washington Bypass Study Interagency Task Force is set for mid-September, with the Maryland State Highway Administration as host. Preliminary alternative alignments for the western and eastern corridors will be discussed.

Lakes Continued from page 3 case, the homeowners’ association is a “rather loosely constructed group” .with principal functions of keeping the water system operating and the interior roads serviceable," Mr. McCarthy reported. “I am told, however, that private property owners frequently perform the latter function for themselves." The water system consists primarily of two-inch galvinized pipe although “frequent splices, replacement, and extension have added in everything up to and including one-half inch double insulated hose,” the county administrator advised the board. “This transport system is buried along the roads and common ground at a depth of three feet to six inches. Needless to say, there are frequent leaks, exposures, and pressure fluctuations experienced throughout.” In the early 1980s, seven Rappahannock Lakes property owners hooked on to a well on Stanley Dye's 3-1/2 acre parcel immediately adjacent to the subdivision. Mr. Dye, who had been connected to the community water system, “became disgusted with the trickle of water he received and so drilled his own [well],” Mr. McCarthy explained. “Subsequently, ah upper section of the system was capped off and these homes began using Mr. Dye’s water through the lines." Septic regulations may force abandonment of some private wells The problem at Rappahannock Lakes involves more than just owners of unimproved lots who will need — but won’t be able to get — a Health Department permit for a private well to serve a new residence as of Sept. 15. Of the 28 residences formerly served by the community water system, 16 no\£ apparently rely on private wells. Since the Health Department has no authority to regulate private wells until Sept. 15, those wells were installed without agency oversight. At the same time, Health Department standards require a minimum distance of 100 feet between a w;ell and septic field - even across property lines. But “where or how” private wells were installed was regulated only when the well and septic field went in at the same time, Mr. McCarthy explained, pronouncing the Health Department’s rules “a quagmire” and noting that the agency was given authority two years ago by the General Assembly to regulate private wells but only recently promulgated the standards necessary to do so. With the small lot sizes at Rappahannock Lakes, a land owner could get a permit for a septic field that would be closer than 100 feet to a neighbor’s private well, he pointed out. And it is the septic field that would take precedence: “It’s the one that’s got the right. It’s got the permit . . . Those wells which have been put in privately may well be subject to forced abandonment if a neighbor wanted to put a septic field in within 100 feet of them because as far as the Health Department is concerned, there are no private wells in Rappahannock Lakes." Mr. McCarthy advised the supervisors. Calling Rappahannock Lakes a “dinosaur subdivision,” Supervisor Nelson Lane questioned whether Dr. Williams has “an obligation to those original buyers.” Supervisor Ellis Bingham, who represents Jackson District where the development is located, said Dr. Williams is reportedly “threatening to subdivide the flood plain (surrounding the lakes) and sell it off,” apparently as camp sites, if the homeowners' association doesn’t buy this common land. In addition. Col. Bingham said, the Rappahannock Lakes developer is “trying to coerce the association into buying the roads." Mr. McCarthy said he’d tried repeatedly to contact Dr. Williams by telephone but had gotten no response to his messages. “I think the association can hold him [the original subdivider] to providing a water system,” Col. Bingham continued. County’s involvement could precipitate liability The county administrator reported that the Health Department will approve private wells if the Board of Supervisors revokes the “public system" standing for Rappahannock Lakes. “But the county, by telling the Health Department to go on and issue permits for private wells, will be condemning some properties. The county would probably incur liability for that,” Mr. McCarthy cautioned. “Most of those lots can’t get a house, a well, and a septic system on them and still meet the Health Department’s requirements.” In addition, putting private wells and septic fields on 1/4- to 1'3-acre lots would create “a very serious problem ... On that small a lot, it’s going to get very unpleasant very fast,” Mr. McCarthy said, maintaining that in the interests of protecting public health and safety, a public water system should be provided. Supervisor Nelson Lane maintained that the solution lies between the subdivider, the homeowners’ association, and the Health Department. “And now is a good time to resolve this problem.” “Whoever takes the road [to finding that resolution], it leads to the subdivider’s door,” the county administrator agreed. “I think their relief is with Dr. Williams,” added Chairman Hubert Gilkey. “He’s the man they should contact.” Eileen M.

Rt. 211 Continued from page 1 1974, was opposed by the town’s merchants and, the report states, “it was decided that both of these options would adversely impact the small businesses along Rt. 211 that give Sperryville so much of its character.” The report characterizes the four-lane project as having “independent utility,” designed to “alleviate traffic and safety problems in a specific area even if no additional road improvements are made in the area.” Although the project’s design will “not restrict considerations” of any future transportation projects, the report states that “no plans currently exist to bypass Sperryville in any direction or to widen the road further into the business district in Sperryville.” The report also describes the alternatives considered to the fourlane proposal, which consisted of either building, not building or managing the traffic flow more efficiently. In building the road, it will “improve traffic flow, facilitate safer truck passage, allow better interaction of vehicles using the road and modernize a state arterial.” If the project is not pursued, it would of course leave the road as it is, with the safety problems not addressed, “nor would it allow this road to be upgraded as other state arterials have been.” Transportation management, in which carpooling, mass transit and other means are used to improve the flow of traffic, “would not be of significant help to this project,” the report states. Noting that the project is “fully endorsed by the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors,” the report states that the four-lane expansion “is not likely to adversely affect the quality of the human environment.” The alignment has been designed to minimize the impact on homes, businesses and the lives of the residents along Rt. 211, it says. Other considerations addressed by the report and its findings include: • two archeological sites discovered by a team from Virginia Commonwealth University “are already very highly disturbed.” The Division of Historic Landmarks recommended that the sites need no further study, according to the report. • the proposed alignemt will not affect the 19th-century toll house located just west of the Child Care and Learning Center. Screening will minimize the impact on Greenfield, a Federal-period structure at the east end of the project. Both buildings have been declared eligible for registry as National Historic Landmarks. • the project will not affect any recreational areas, national, state or local parks or forests. • six acres of land classified as “prime farmland” will be used in the project. Because of the nature, of the expansion, the report finds “no feasible way to avoid or minimize the use of prime farmland.” If an entirely new road were built, the study notes, far more farmland would be used than under the present proposal. • “no significant impacts are anticipated on natural, ecological, or scenic resources of national, state or local significance.” • although noise levels at 12 ressidences will increase if the road is built, overall the report finds there will be little or no noise increase. At Rappahannock County High School and the Child Care and Learning Center, the project will result in no noise increase, according to computer-modeling projections. There are no noise-abatement measures which could decrease the noise level, but “the department [of transportation] will provide measures to reduce construction noise.” • the project will have little or no effect on water quality or air pollution. Some wells within the project area may have to be abandoned, the report states, and others nearby may “experience some drawdown and reduction of water levels.” Any wells ordered closed will be sealed under Health Department requirements to prevent contamination of adjacent groundwater. • a total of 1.28 acres of wetlands will be affected by the project. As with the farmland, the report notes that another alignment would affect more than the expansion of the present road. Plans will be drawn, the study says, for the replacement of the affected wetlands on new sites nearby. Following the public hearing on the project, scheduled for Thursday, July 21 at 7 p.m. at the Rappahannock County Elementary School, comments from that meeting will be included into the final environmental impact statement. There will also be a public information meeting on Wednesday, July 20, from 4 to 8 p.m. also at the elementary school.

But if the sites are permanent, then the expense would be offset over time by reduced hauling costs and increased landfill capacity as a result of compacting, he noted. Should compactors be installed, the board acknowledged, an operator would have to be at the sites while they’re open to the public. But Supervisor Massie pointed out that hours could be staggered. “People would know that on Monday and Tuesdays, they can take their trash to Scrabble; Wednesdays and Thurdsays to Huntly; and Friday they’d have to go to the landfill in Amissville . . . We’ve got to do more than we’re doing. It’s disgusting the way they are now.” Mr. McCarthy noted that accumulated “white goods" — discarded refrigerators, washing machines, and other large applicances — will be picked up from the dumpster sites as soon as the new landfill opens. “Right now, we don;t have any place to put them.” Removal of that refuse from the Amissville dumpster site alone will cost between $5,000 and $6,000, Col. Bingham predicted. “Here’s what we’re up against,” said Chairman Hubert Gilkey, recounting a recent incident where a resident of Lake Front Royal in neighboring Warren County drove up to Chester Gap looking for a dumpster. Told there were no dumpsters in Chester Gap and further that only Rappahannock County residents could legally use the green box in nearby Huntly, “he said he knew that,” but added “a real estate agent had assured him it would be fine, that he could dump there,” Mr. Gilkey reported. The problem of unlawful disposal by non-county residents would be solved if compactor operators were stationed at the dumpster sites, Col. Bingham interjected. “If you don’t have a county sticker, you don’t dump.” By consensus, the board agreed that its recently organized Landfill Advisory Committee should study the issues of limiting access to the LISTINGS NEEDED • LISTINGS NEED o z CO o E o UJ O HI 8 z (A O co O z E o o Ui UJ co o s o 8 Sperryville Realty SPERRYVILLE EMPORIUM (703) 987-8088 Office On Old Rag Mt. and Ragged Run, partially furnished 3 room cabin with fireplace, well, 1 acre on state road. $39,000.

And specifically, the environmental group stated its formal opposition to “an urban development road” crossing the Potomac River upstream from Washington and to “an urban development corridor” in Fauquier, western Loudoun, and the western portion of Montgomery County, Maryland. Addressing speculation that the governors of Maryland and Virginia have already agreed on a western bypass from 1-95' through Prince William, Fauquier, and Loudoun counties with a Potomac River crossing at Point of Rocks into Frederick County, PEC president Robert Dennis noted last week that such a plan “would breathe new life into the concept of a Piedmont corridor”: an interstate-class road from Charlotte, North Carolina, to Frederick, Maryland, up the east side of the Blue Ridge Mountains basically following Rt. 29, and connecting to the proposed western bypass. dumpster sites and providing trash compactors and whether the dumpsters should be retained permanently at Scrabble and Huntly.
