Reporting Pollution
Our Jim Davis had a conversation with John Peacock on 1/16/07
concerning mud plumes. He has sent me some guidelines to distribute to
the community to help us expedite reporting such events and to
hopefully provide the necessary evidence to allow fining companies that
dump mud into Beards Creek. To make a case against a developer, or
contractor, stick the county needs: Who (company name),What, When,
Where and Why. Photographs and eyewitness testimony may well be the
basis for the case. If the violator cleans the site before an inspector
arrives, the case will be based on the citizen's report. Let's help the
County protect our creek. In reporting pollution speed is essential.
Call the County first, and be persistent. Advise the board later.

observing from the street! Lee Conservancy:Update, January 25, 2007: The new development planned for the Lee property is continuing to take shape. The Giant Food Store is now open. There is no word on what is going to happen with the old store There will be a bill offered at the County Council meeting on February 5, 2007 to approve replacing the current service road on the Lee property (the vacant farm field) with a new service road. Similarly, the current stormwater pond near Route 2 will be moved back farther on the property. This will allow the design of an inward-facing, campus-style development. After lengthy debate, adjustments, and assurances, the Lee Farms Conservancy has approved this design. County approval for moving the service road and the stormwater pond constitutes the last remaining hurdle before the project begins. Jack Greer
