August 25th NVSWCD Report

Northern Virginia Soil & Water Conservation District (NVSWCD)
Johna Good Gagnon, Director

This summer I participated in Stakeholder meetings to discuss issues related to the creation of riparian buffers along headwater streams. These headwater streams are located upstream of existing Resource Protection Areas (RPAs). These affect many communities throughout Fairfax County. The information gathered from these meetings will be used by the Planning Commission’s Environment Committee and the Environmental Quality Advisory Council (EQAC) to evaluate a regulatory approach to extending riparian buffers upstream of RPAs. I will be attending additional meetings related to this throughout the fall leading up to a recommendation that will be given to the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors.

As part of FCDC, LDDC is part of the Fairfax County arm of the Democratic Party of Virginia and serves to help promote the principles of the Democratic Party and elect Democratic Candidates to offices at the County, State and National level. The Lee District Democratic Committee provides to FCDC the volunteer organization and activities necessary to elect Democratic candidates.
