Planning and surveys are underway now, with dredging expected to start in early 2023 and end by late 2025. According to Philip, it seems all options have closed other than a pipeline to Braddock Road, the only questions being the precise routing and the location of the dewatering facility at the terminus. Stormwater Planning has convened a smaller stakeholders group, including FACC, FLAP, Save Lake Accotink, and some civic associations. In the first such meeting, it seemed clear Howrey Field will not be an option since no one on the County side is willing to face the ‘flag vs. forest’ issues that were raised by Howrey defenders on our Facebook page. Howrey wasn’t likely to qualify anyway, but Philip asked would Flag vs. Forest – Not a fight anyone wants to pick anyone like to reach out to the defenders in search of common ground? Philip offered one more alternative that we might appeal to have considered: • A slower dredge could accomplish the same goal over a period of years, reducing truck traffic to tolerable levels.

  • Testimony in Public Hearing of The
    Statement to Fairfax County Environmental Quality Advisory Council Betsy Martin, Friends of Little Hunting Creek and Northern Virginia Trash Action Work Force1 January 10, 2018 In Fairfax County’s new environmental vision, solid waste management is one of seven areas identified by the Board of Supervisors as priorities. Yet, EQAC’s most recent report offers only three recommendations on solid waste management (on improving recycling, illegal dumping, and a statewide container redemption fee). “Litter” is mentioned once in the report. I’m glad EQAC continues “to recommend a statewide container redemption fee to reduce litter and increase the recovery of containers in a form that can be recycled.” However, you demur, writing “This recommendation requires action at the General Assembly and cannot be addressed by County staff.” Please recommend actions the County can take on litter, not just actions it cannot. The need for action is great. The Friends of Little Hunting Creek and Senator Scott Surovell have conducted annual cleanups of the creek since 2002, as part of the Potomac Watershed Cleanup sponsored by Alice Ferguson Foundation. Since the Friends started keeping records in 2006, volunteers have picked up 3,343 bags of trash and recyclables, 258 tires, 177 shopping carts, and tons of additional bulk trash. On average, this is about 257 bags, 20 tires, and 14 shopping carts per cleanup. These figures do not include cleanups conducted by others, for example, the Boy Scouts annually pick up trash just downstream of the Route 1 bridge (60 bags this year, according to newspaper reports). Little Hunting Creek is but one of the tributaries that discharge Fairfax County’s litter into the Potomac River.
