I am a 74 year old native Virginian. I live on the Shenandoah River in Clarke County, an avid catch and release fisherman and have probably spent more time in the river than anyone else alive. Literally! ! Over the last 50 plus years I have seen many changes in the river. None good! Yielding to developers or commercial enterprises can only negatively affect the current fragile state of the river.
I strongly support the Shenandoah Riverkeeper's effort to change the Construction General Permit so that SWPPP's are made available for every construction site in the river vicinity.
Further, the State of Virginia should do more now to clean up, and keep clean, Virginia's rivers and streams.
Thank you,
