The state of Virginia has a program to designate our most outstanding streams as “Exceptional State Water,” also known as Tier III classification. The purpose of the program is to protect the quality of water in our very finest streams, mainly by excluding the designated stream from consideration for discharges of industrial waste and treated sewage from new or expanded industries and sewage treatment plants. Very few Virginia streams . qualify for Tier III designation. The Hazel is one of the few that probably qualifies; at least its Rappahannock County segment appears to, and possibly the Culpeper segment as well.
The entire length of the Hazel River in Rappahannock and Culpeper Counties has been nominated by Sally Mello, mother of Rappahannock High School principal Roger Mello and neighbor residing in Culpeper County, for Tier III consideration.
