Hearing of the Citizens
Ms. Deborah Lovelace of the Callands-Gretna District addressed the Board with
comments concerning the evaluation of fracture flow at Coles Hill and insisted that a thorough
hydrology study be done.
Mr. George Stanhope of the Callands-Gretna District made comments on his concerns
on just how closely would federal groups, like the Department of Environmental Quality, be
watching over uranium mining since Virginia has the second worse set of rivers in the United
States. Mr. Stanhope mentioned the recent mine explosion and how company had been fined
several hundred times over the past year but the enforcement group never went back to see if
any of the infractions had ever been fixed. He is concerned should uranium mining occur at
Coles Hill, and an event such as a leak occur, that the enforcement agencies will not follow up
to make certain necessary corrections are made. He hopes everyone will keep that in mind.
Ms. Barbara Hudson, of the Callands-Gretna District, asked further transparency and
openness in government, in particularly concerning appointments to boards and committees.
She stated the most communities advertise on their website so people can volunteer to serve
on boards and committees and asked that the Board eliminate favoritism and allow people to
volunteer for positions as they open instead of the Board appointing who they wish to serve
on these committees.
Ms. Barber Smith of the Tunstall District questioned the motive behind the proposed
unlicensed dog roundup proposed by the Board and asked what prpblems motivated this round
up. She stated she personally found Animal Control to be very efficient in taking care of
matters when she had called them.
Ms. Karen Maute of the Westover District thanked Mr. Odie Shelton of Code
Compliance on his investigating and responding to a zoning violation on a parcel of the Mega
Park. Mr. Shelton sent a letter to Mr. Light, and she contacted Mr. Light as well, on the
Regular Meeting
June 7, 2010

with the violation and had that property been zoned properly to begin with, no need for action
