ms is a win-win situation for everyone. We all benefit from cle.' .n water, the absence of polluting industries, and the prevention of high-density development that follows the installation of urban-like sewage treatment plants. Tier III classification for the Hazel is good for all of us in Rappahannock County, but especially for those who live on or near the river. With Tier III designation, the Hazel River corridor can remain clean and scenic and serene, even if the day comes when our progressive zoning laws fail to protect us.
The Tier III classification process depends upon citizen nomination and citizen participation every step of the way. The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is now evaluating the nomination on its procedural merits and the river on its technical merits. Riparian landowners, i.e. those with property within 1,000 feet of the river in either county, have been asked by DEQ’s Water Control Board (WCB) to give their views on the proposed Tier III designation.
