PUBLIC HEARING
Proposed Tier III (Exceptional Water)
Designation for The Hazel River
The Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors is seeking public input on a proposal to forward the Hazel River for consideration by the State Water Control Board as a designated Tier III Exceptional Water. They will hold a public hearing on this matter at 7:00 pm on Monday, February 4, 2002 at the Courthouse in Washington, VA.
The nominated section of the Hazel River is its entire length, from its headwaters in the Shenandoah National Park in Rappahannock County to its confluence with the Rappahannock River in Culpeper County.
A designation as an Exceptional Water would prevent any new or increased discharges into the designated section of the river, and may entail additional impacts pending Environmental Protection Agency required amendments to the anti-degradation policy section of the Virginia Water Quality Standards regulation.
A file with supplementary information is available for your inspection at the County Administration Office at 290 Gay Street in Washington, VA, during normal business hours.
Interested persons are invited to attend the meeting or to make their comments in writing to the Board of Supervisors at PO Box 519, Washington, VA 22747. ; BY ORDER OF * John W. McCarthy m County Administrator
