For the past several years, the RWSA staff has been working to develop and permit a future water supply for the Charlottesville and Albemarle County community. Today we present to the Board for consideration the Community Water Supply Plan, Joint Permit Support
On April 18, 2006, RWSA conducted a Community Outreach Meeting to announce that the preferred future community water supply is the Ragged Mountain Dam Alternative. At the meeting, the public was given the opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback. I am pleased to announce that there was broad support for this alternative and encouragement from the community to continue in the permitting process.
To that end, staff has requested that Gannett Fleming provide a brief overview of the document before you today. This Joint Permit Support Document will serve as the background and basis for a future permit submittal.
At this time, the conceptual environmental mitigation plan has not been included in the document. As the mitigation plan becomes more fully developed, RWSA will provide an opportunity for public discussion and approval.
