In the past weeks I have been studying the proposal to place a water treatment plant on the Hazel River just over the county line in Culpeper County.
In that short period of time I have learned much about the motivations behind this project. It has become painfully obvious to me that, once again, a rare and non-renewable natural resource is being threatened in the name of “progress." The Hazel River is indeed a rare resource, a water source still pure enough to be one of the 2 percent of U.S. waterways to be listed on the National Inventory of Rivers as a national resource, and to be nominated for the state Tier III status over a year and half prior to the plant application, a status that limits any future effluent released into the watershed, among other things.
