Overall, tree felling is 100 percent complete, clearing is nearly 91 percent, welding is nearly 83 percent and final restoration is only 19 percent complete, according to the map presented at the meeting.The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality received one complaint about the project since the last State Water Control meeting earlier this summer, Stafford said. However, he said, inspectors did not find any issues.
He referenced a July 14 report from the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality that he described as showing a tributary to Flatwoods Branch had “significant sedimentation.” The report notes there is “sediment impacting stream” and orders it to be corrected.“There have been some severe problems there on a number of occasions over a span of years,” he said, later adding: “We’re looking at a great deal of construction coming up here in the next six months.
“They provide no evidence that any of the waters in these watersheds are presently subject to ongoing adverse effects or impairments as a result,” the filing reads, referring to Wild Virginia’s characterization of six watersheds, including Flatwoods Branch.
