Supervisor Mike Snider told the Board he would notify Mr. Eldon James of the Rappahannock River Basin Commission and request the Commission be informed about issues raised in a recent public hearing on the Mountain View Nursing Home permit renewal.
Board discussion focused on the Commission's role in water quality stewardship and technical review. Mr. James Alexander addressed the Board to share concerns about the discharge permit review process and potential impacts to local waterways.
