Committee hears concerns about possible EPA algae study and Corridor H traffic impacts
Summary
A member raised a possible EPA toxic-algae study that may require researcher access to private land and warned that Corridor H development has created environmental impacts in the GW Forest and may overwhelm county traffic capacity.
During other business, Laura Bennett told the committee that homeowners might be contacted about an EPA study of toxic algae blooms that could require researchers to access private land to reach the river. She asked members to note the potential for homeowner impacts and notifications.
Bennett also reported environmental impacts in the GW Forest tied to Corridor H development and said Shenandoah County is not prepared to handle the increased traffic the new road may bring. Committee members agreed these issues warrant monitoring and raised them as matters the CAC should not ignore when advising county decision-makers.
No formal action was recorded on these items; members flagged them for follow-up and monitoring.
