VDOT says federal environmental reviews will require public hearing on Western Bypass

Tuesday, September 6th, 2011

 

VDOT says federal environmental reviews will require
public hearing on Western Bypass


The Virginia Department of Transportation is moving quickly to prepare a design for the northern terminus of the U.S. 29 Western Bypass so the project can be put out to bid this fall, but opportunities for public input will be limited.

“The northern interchange will not require a public hearing,” said Lou Hatter, a spokesman for VDOT.

However, Hatter later clarified that federal law will require a public hearing as part of the process to ensure that prior environmental reviews for the entire bypass project are still adequate.

“A public hearing will be held before the re-evaluation is completed in accordance with [National Environmental Protection Act] requirements,” Hatter said.

Meanwhile, a task force appointed by Albemarle County Supervisor Kenneth C. Boyd to help design the northern terminus of the Western Bypass is expected to provide an immediate opportunity for citizen input. Boyd’s announcement Wednesday upset some other supervisors who say the full board should have been involved in the discussion. [read more]

Population and employment projections assessed in
new water demand forecast

 

A 50-year water demand forecast for Charlottesville-Albemarle has been updated in advance of a public hearing to be held in September.

AECOM Technology Corp.’s projections now show slightly less water consumption, but greater projected population growth.

Late last week, the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority released AECOM’s final forecast updating a July draft. The state is requiring localities to submit a comprehensive water supply plan by Nov. 2.

“The final regional water supply demands reflect the future human water demands of the regional water supply planning area which includes the citizens in the City of Charlottesville, Albemarle County, Town of Scottsville, and Crozet,” said Kim Shorter, a water supply specialist with AECOM, in an email. “These forecasts will support development of the Regional Water Supply Plan, required by the Virginia Local and Regional Water Supply Planning regulations.”

There is more and more evidence that what a child eats (or does not eat)has a direct effect on whether or not he or she thrives-mentally, physically, and emotionally.

 

Does your child have digestive disorders? difficulty focusing? attention issues?

 

Is he or she “hyperactive”? Does he or she have allergies?

 

Many of these issues can be resolved by offering your child nutritious, delicious food that is easily prepared.

 

Monica Corrado is a Member of the Honorary Board of the Weston A. Price Foundation, REAL Food Chef and Holistic Nutrition Counselor. She has been on public television speaking on the issue of children and nutrition, is involved in the White House Chefs Move! to Schools initiative, and was featured in the Washington Post September 2010 for her fermentation classes. Monica has taught hundreds of people how to cook nourishing, traditional food for themselves and their children over the past 6 years. Let her teach you, too!

Testimonials:

 

“Yesterday I had the opportunity to attend an all-day cooking class with Monica at Wise Traditions. It’s worth it folks. Great tips, answers, more planning advice, more practical applications and explanations for the way things are in Nourishing Traditions. When those opportunities come along, I recommend her classes…” Angel Price, West Virginia

 

“I want to thank you for a great workshop in BroomfieldColorado.  This was my first live event related to Nourishing Traditions and the Weston A. Price Foundation way of eating.  This was a much needed introduction to starting and doing the food preparation correctly.  My husband and I have tried a lot of different “diets”.  This is the first time a system of eating addresses the issues I have been concerned about. You are an amazing teacher and person.  I am thankful there are teachers like you who give of your time, talents, and energy to help others.”  Yuko CrosswhiteColorado

Dredging

Monday, August 15th, 2011
Cvillewater

BREAKING NEWS from CvilleWater

July 6, 2011: 
AECOM Demand Analysis (draft) data confirms the drop in water use as a sustainable trend. See CSWP press release
Significance:
According to RWSA studies and a letter written in August 2010 from the DEQ, dredging the South Fork Rivanna River (SFRR) would provide drought protection for 15.5 mgd of water (called safe yield.) 

According to this NEW Demand Analysis, the Charlottesville-Albemarle Urban Area will not need 15.5 mgd UNTIL 2050. 

Therefore, dredging the SFRR will provide enough drought protection until 2050.
