County board pledges new protections for old cemeteries Brewery cited for clearing Thoroughfare-area gravesites

By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

Prince William County supervisors unanimously approved a purchase of development rights program Tuesday evening aimed at permanently conserving rural land in the county and rejected several other rural preservation proposals over concerns about increased housing development.

The vote was the culmination, in part, of more than five years of conflict between rural area residents and local elected officials over how best to preserve the county’s rural land.

The purchase of development rights, or PDR program, would allow landowners to voluntarily sell their properties’ development rights to the county to permanently shield their land from future development. It was the only proposal discussed during the May 4 board meeting that achieved widespread support from county residents and supervisors.

Local GOP delegates to vote at the fairgrounds

By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

Prince William supervisors pledged Tuesday to change how the county protects historic cemeteries and gravesites after it was discovered that a local brewery cleared land believed to hold an estimated 75 to 100 century-old graves with ties to Thoroughfare – a historically African American and Native American community near Haymarket.

Supervisor Pete Candland, R-Gainesville, promised during the board’s May 4 meeting “to hold the county accountable” for not preventing the damage and asked county staff to determine how the land was cleared -- apparently without the owners of the Farm Brewery at Broad Run knowing about the gravesites.

Candland said the county must determine if new policies are needed to prevent such actions from happening again.

“It angered me and it broke my heart to see what happened there,” Candland said. “Part of the accountability is understanding how the

county fell short and how we can address it.”

Several other supervisors similarly expressed their regrets about the damaged gravesites and agreed with the need for more protections. They tentatively agreed to discuss the matter further during their May 18 meeting.

About 5,000 Republican voters are expected to cast their ballots for GOP nominees for statewide offices this Saturday, May 8 at the Prince William fairgrounds.

The fairgrounds is the voting place for registered delegates from Prince William County, Stafford County, Manassas and Manassas Park. It is one of 39 polling places across the state in this year’s GOP “unassembled convention.”

The Republican Party of Virginia announced last week that 53,000 delegates are eligible to vote in the convention. That’s about 14% of the 380,000 votes cast when the party chose its nominee for governor through a state-run primary in 2017.

The rules of the convention are complicated and took weeks for the party’s leaders to hammer out. For the first time, the party will use “ranked-choice” voting, which will allow delegates to rank each of the candidates according to their preference.

Cases decline again, county reports 5 more deaths Staff Reports Prince William County’s rate of COVID-19 cases per capita and its percent-positivity rate declined again over the past week, with the latter falling below 6% -- to 5.3% -for the first time since late October.

About 42% of the county’s population has received at least one dose of the vaccine, and Northern Virginia is now projected to achieve “community immunity” by late June – he earliest in the commonwealth – because of strong demand, according to the University of Virginia’s Biocomplexity Institute.

The bad news is that the county continues to lose residents to COVID-19, with five new deaths reported since Thursday, including that of a man in his 20s. The deaths of four other Prince William County men, two in their 60s and two in their 70s, were also reported in the last few days, according to the Virginia Department of Health.

The county has now lost a total of four residents in their 20s; 23 Virginians in their 20s have died across the state since the pandemic began.

The local health district’s COVID-19 death toll is now 543.

This week’s decline in cases marks

a pivot from recent weeks, when COVID-19 cases in Prince William County were either in “slow growth” or stuck in a plateau, as Virginia raced to get as many people vaccinated as possible before more contagious variants of COVID-19 took hold. The B.1.1.7. variant, which originated in the United Kingdom, now accounts for about 60% of the state’s new cases, but the vaccines appear to be working against the spread, the institute said in its most recent weekly report.

“With pandemic fatigue, variants could push us back into crisis mode.

For the past several weeks it has been unclear which side was ahead,” the report said. “This week, at least, it looks like our continued vigilance is giving vaccines an edge.”

Uncertainty remains

Despite this, vaccines still need residents’ help to win the race against COVID-19 and its variants, and demand for the vaccine appears to be slowing in some parts of the state.

“Even with just 44% of Virginians vaccinated, and eligibility open to every Virginian age 16 and over, we are beginning to see appointments unfilled, and doses left on shelves,” the

LANDOWNERS, from page 1 “I am thrilled that we appear to be adopting a purchase of development rights program. I have been waiting years for this,” said Supervisor Jeanine Lawson, R-Brentsville.

PDR programs are typically funded from local tax dollars and federal and state grants. In neighboring Fauquier County, a PDR program is funded through a designated tax levy. No funding stream nor timeline has yet been identified for the county’s program, however.

Following the approval of the PDR program, the board rejected a comprehensive plan amendment to create new designations within the county’s rural area, also known as the “rural crescent.” They then sent county staff back to the drawing board to continue work on a transfer of development rights program and a rural cluster zoning designation.

Dozens of rural area residents, conservationists, farmers and developers spoke both for and against the proposals – but the vast majority were opposed.

Conservation groups, including the Prince William Conservation Alliance, Piedmont Environmental Council and the Coalition to Protect Prince William County, raised concerns that any plan other than the PDR program would lead to

Prince William Health District weekly COVID-19 report

report states. “Like the race against variants, terms like vaccine hesitancy mask a simple truth: We can only win this race if we choose to. Vaccines do not work unless people take them.”

50,310 Cases (Up 323) 1,851 Hospitalizations (Up 14)

“Herd immunity” is “community immunity”

Although data on vaccine hesitancy is still sparse, the UVA Biocomplexity Institute has developed regional estimates using currently available sources of information, which shows regional variation in vaccine acceptance.

If this persists, it will have an impact on “community immunity,” a synonym for herd immunity, that suggests herd immunity will be achieved on the regional level.

According to the analysis, Northern Virginia could reach community immunity in June or July, while other regions may not reach it at all this year.

“The VDH and its partners are working on getting the vaccine to more communities, including accelerating outreach efforts and mobile clinics. Ultimately, however, vaccines can only win this race if we choose to take them,” the weekly report notes.

housing sprawl withing the rural area.

“This is not a preservation plan,” said Julie Bolthouse, a land use representative with the Piedmont Environmental Council.

Housing and commercial land developers, including nearly a dozen people who would like the county to allow data centers in the rural area near Pageland Lane, said the plan was too restrictive.

Some, like local housing developer Mark Granville Smith, said they would like to eliminate the county’s rural boundary entirely.

The rural boundary was created in 1998. It allows only 10-acre homes with no public sewer access on about 33% of the county’s entire landmass in the western part of Prince William.

543 Deaths (Up 5) 5.3% Percent-positivity rate (down from 6.9%)

Vaccinations One dose: 201,501 (up 12,961) • % of population partially vaccinated: 42%

Fully vaccinated: 142,967 (up 23,150) • % of population fully vaccinated: 30.4% Note: Numbers current as of Wednesday, May 5. New cases, hospitalizations, deaths and vaccinations in red and blue were added between April 29 to May 5.

Several local farmers, including some who are hoping to sell their farms, were in favor of the plan. But Helen Taylor, president of the Prince William-Fairfax Farm Bureau, said she “would like the board to take a fresh look at the county.”

County staff recommended approving the entire rural area plan. County Planning Director Parag Agrawal said all four components of the plan “are good land conservation and smart growth tools.”

But county supervisors decided to hold off on any approval of a transfer of development rights program and rural cluster zoning designations until the county could come up with something more agreeable.

“I think most of us agree we need more tools in the toolbox,” said Supervisor Kenny Boddye, D-Occoquan.

Board Chair Ann Wheeler, D-At Large, said eliminating the proposed rural area comprehensive plan amendments would give the board a “blank slate” moving forward. Wheeler said she remains supportive of creating rural cluster zoning, the transfer of development rights and making changes to the comprehensive plan’s land-use chapter. But she said the proposals in front of the board were out of date.

“The plan needs to go down a silent death,” Wheeler said before calling for the vote.

A new place for yard waste

From yard waste to compost: Prince William’s composting facility already processes yard waste from neighboring jurisdictions. It starts by moving the waste into a “pick line,” where waste is removed, and then into a giant shredder.

Change aims to extend the landfill life by 15 years

By Cher Muzyk

Contributing Writer

Prince William County’s state-of-the-art composting facility has been up and running since last fall but hasn’t yet begun processing the bulk of the county’s yard waste. That will change Oct. 1, when the landfill will no longer accept grass clippings, branches or tree trimmings.

Last December, the Prince William Board of County Supervisors changed the county code to keep yard waste from entering the landfill. This means big changes for county residents and private trash haulers who will have to separate yard waste from regular garbage for the first time.

The new regulations did not go into effect immediately to give private trash haulers time to prepare. The new rules require all county residents and businesses to place yard waste paper lawn-and-leaf bags or bins labeled “yard waste.”

John Poague, CEO of Patriot Disposal, said diverting yard waste from landfills is a nationwide trend, and that Prince William is among the last counties in Northern Virginia to require it. He said Patriot’s customers in Fairfax County initially complained about not being able to bag yard waste in plastic bags but got the hang of it quickly after drivers left the bags on customers’ lawns with stickers directing residents to re-bag it in paper bags.

While Poague said he believes it is absolutely

the right thing to do environmentally, he warns the new rules will “hit people in their pockets,” as trash haulers will pass on the associated costs to consumers. Patriot is still working out its pricing plan for the fall, Poague said.

Scott MacDonald, recycling manager for Prince William County’s Solid Waste Division, said the yard waste mandate is the “second most significant change in the history of solid waste program, second only to the initiation of the recycling program.”

Removing recyclables from the county’s waste stream diverted about 30% to 35% of waste from the landfill. Similarly, MacDonald said he anticipates that diverting organic materials, initially yard waste, and later food waste, from the landfill will divert another 30% of the county’s waste and lengthen the life of the landfill by 15 years to 2080.

The change would not have been possible, however, without substantially boosting the capacity of the county’s composting facility. To do that, the county awarded a 20-year contract to Freestate Farms in 2015 to upgrade its composting facility. As part of

a public-private partnership, the county supplied the land and space needed for the facility, and Freestate financed and built an “advanced composting facility.”

Before Freestate’s overhaul, the compost facility was using windrow composting technology, which required a lot of space and time.

Now, the facility is ramping up to process about 80,000 tons a year, according to Rich Riedel, Freestate Farms marketing manager.

The nutrient-rich compost that results from the new process is chock full of microorganisms that benefit soil and feed plants. Freestate sells the compost for $35 per cubic yard.

If no candidate wins at least 50% of the vote outright, the lowest vote-getter is eliminated, and delegates who voted for the eliminated candidate will have their votes reallocated to their second choices in following rounds of vote-counting.

Also, votes will be weighted according to each locality’s partisan leanings. Because of that, votes from some smaller but more Republican-leaning counties will have more sway than votes from less-Republican-leaning areas. Prince William County will have 511 weighted votes – the fifth highest in the commonwealth behind Fairfax, Loudoun, Chesterfield and Virginia Beach.

That means Prince William County’s voting results will be translated to some proportion of 511 votes. So if Pete Snyder wins 60% of the county’s vote, he will receive 60% of the 511 votes, for example. In other words, each Prince William delegate who votes will cast only a fraction of a vote if more than 511 delegates vote in the convention.

Of the 5,000 delegates voting at the fairgrounds, about 3,500 are residents of Prince William County, according to Willie Deutsch, vice chairman of the Prince William County Republican Committee.

Because of the ranked-choice process, the ballots will likely have to be counted over and over in a process that could take days to complete. All of the ballots will be taken to a location in Richmond, where the voting contest will be live-streamed and protected by armed guards, party officials say.

For the delegates, the process will be faster than what typically occurs at a traditional convention, where voting is usually conducted through numerous rounds of balloting that can take several hours before someone receives 50% of the vote.

“But it’s going to take a lot longer to count the ballots,” Deutsch said.

There are seven candidates running for the Republican gubernatorial nomination – but no clear indication of who is leading the pack.

Snyder, an investor from Charlottesville, won a Prince William County Republican Committee straw poll taken during the committee’s annual Lincoln-Reagan dinner on April 19.

Snyder won 47% of about 150 votes cast during the event. Glenn Youngkin came in second with 30% and state Sen. Amanda Chase came in third with 10%, Deutsch said.

“For governor, Pete Snyder has the biggest endorsement list in the county,” Deutsch said. “The races for attorney general and lieutenant governor are wide open.”

Deutsch said he has endorsed Snyder, as have Supervisors Pete Candland, R-Gainesville, Jeanine Lawson, R-Brentsville, and former Manassas City Councilman Ian Lovejoy.

“I’ve known Pete Snyder for eight or nine years by his involvement in the party and the [conservative] movement,” Deutsch said, noting that Snyder’s “30-day fund” grants for small businesses have given his campaign a “boots on the ground” credibility that has resonated with Prince William County voters.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

County board must consider drinking water before developing the rural crescent We urge the Prince William Board of County Supervisors to obtain critical data and be more accountable prior to making land-use decisions that impact people and our environment for generations to come. In their rush to develop the rural crescent, the board is making decisions without proper environmental studies, particularly with regard to the drinking water of residents of both Prince William and Fairfax counties.

In the rural crescent lies the beginning of the waters that flow into the Occoquan Reservoir. When the reservoir was built Fairfax County protected land around the reservoir with new laws requiring lower densities as well as purchasing 5,000 acres of open space along the reservoir for use as a buffer and public parkland. Prince William chose to develop the land abutting the reservoir and to protect the head waters, which are located within the rural crescent. This plan has worked for many years.

Recently though, we have seen the current board remove land from the rural crescent twice without any discussion about how we are going

to protect our water supply. In February, a new housing development that greatly increases residential density within the rural crescent was approved. This new development was approved with no study of how additional homes and industry may affect the watershed. We already know additional non-porous surfaces, such as roads and parking lots, influence water quality in a negative way. We need studies from U.S. Geological Survey and other professionals to assure residents that water quality and quantity will not be compromised.

Then in March, the board amended the county’s comprehensive plan to allow the building of a privately owned data center on property within the protected rural area.

Again, without any studies regarding potential environmental harms.

I ask the county supervisors to do the studies and incorporate the findings in their plans. Water is a precious resource. Let’s be a county that looks at the ramifications of our development before we destroy a natural environment.

One year after friend’s death, speeding is still a problem on Cardinal Drive Monday, May 3, marked the oneyear anniversary of the death of my best friend, Deborah L. Talbot, who was struck and killed while walking her dog on the sidewalk along the area of Cardinal Drive and Swan Way. Family and friends gathered at the accident site last evening to remember our loved one. A banner has been put in place to remind drivers on Cardinal Drive to slow down to save a life! To this day, cars are driving at high speeds along Cardinal Drive with minimal presence of police to ensure that drivers are in compliance

of the posted speed.

There was a lot of media about this event last year, and an update regarding the memorial and updated status of the sentencing to the community for awareness purposes would be greatly appreciated.

Domestic violence increased during the pandemic. Victims need our support Domestic Violence cases have increased in Virginia since the start of the COVID pandemic.

Individuals are spending more time at home with their families. In homes with domestic violence, however, this provides more opportunity for violence to occur.

According to the Domestic and Sexual Violence in Virginia 2020 Annual Report, in 2019, there were more than 68,000 calls to domestic and sexual violence hotlines across the state.

Domestic violence is not physical violence alone. It is any behavior with which the purpose is to gain power and control over a spouse, part-

ner, girl/boyfriend or intimate family member. It impacts individuals, as well as our communities and society. Domestic violence is something we, as a society, need more awareness of and more initiatives to prevent.

When COVID-19 hit and homes began to quarantine, victims did not have the same opportunities for visibility and freedom that were providing them safety from domestic violence.

They were forced to stay in confined spaces due to losing jobs, teleworking, etc. This also increased their worry that they would continue to be violated.

The 2020 annual report also stated that in order to support the victims, state, local, and private partners had to adjust their processes to continue providing assistance, advocacy, counseling, shelter, etc. This adjustment has not always allowed for thorough support of the victims. It’s critical for change to occur in policies to allow Virginia to provide adequate support and resources to the individuals and families impacted by domestic violence.

Prince William’s school nutrition director is a ‘school lunch hero’ School Lunch Hero Day is Friday, May 7, an opportunity to celebrate the school nutrition professionals who help connect students with healthy meals throughout the year.

When schools pivoted to virtual learning last year, school nutrition heroes in Prince William County mobilized under the leadership of Adam Russo, director of school food and nutrition services, to feed students in new and innovative ways. Russo—who recently earned the 2021 Foodservice Achievement Management Excellence Silver Leadership Award and was named the 2019 Foodservice Operation of

the Year by FoodService Director magazine — led his team with passion and creativity, reimagining school nutrition and eliminating access barriers.

A year later, Russo and his team continue to serve thousands of meals every day to students, no matter where they are learning. The team’s selflessness and commitment to service has made a significant impact on the surrounding community.

The pandemic has put families at an even greater risk of hunger, making school meal programs more critical than ever. As Superintendent Dr. Steven Walts retires and

Dr. LaTanya McDade steps into her role as the new superintendent of Prince William County schools later this year, she inherits an incredibly strong school meals program the county should be proud of.

We are excited to witness all the ways the program will continue to grow under Dr. McDade’s direction, and are thankful for all the school lunch heroes who work on behalf of students every day.

Occoquan kicks off its first ‘Artisan Market’ this weekend

By Aileen M. Streng

Occoquan Artisan Markets The historic Town of Occoquan will hold three COVID-19-cautious “Artisan Markets” this summer.

The first is Saturday and Sunday, May 8 and 9, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at River Mill Park.

The other two are June 5-6 and July 10-11.

Masks and social distancing are requested.

Contributing Writer

The Town of Occoquan discontinued its Spring Craft Show in 2019. This year, it is adding three “Artisan Markets” instead.

The first is this coming weekend, May 8-9. The others will be held June 5-6 and July 10-11. Each will take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

“This is brand-spanking new,” said Julie Little, the town’s events and community development director. “We had our challenges with COVID, so we decided to see what we could do on a much smaller scale from our craft shows.”

Instead of the usual 300 vendors that typically participated in the annual craft shows, the artisan markets will be smaller, displaying the works of 50 artisans and crafters. There will be no informational booths or franchised operations, such as Mary Kay or Pampered Chef.

Instead of spreading the event throughout the town, the markets will be held in River Mill Park.

The town streets, shops and restaurants will remain open. Visitors can park within the town or take the free, 32-seat shuttle from the Va. 123 commuter lot into town. There will be a $5 admission fee to the market.

“We won’t have the big food trucks and everything, but we will have local restaurants that will be on-site doing packaged lunches and breakfasts and things. We even have a beer tent,” Little said.

“So, it’s much smaller but I think it will be quite the experience.”

When the town discontinued the Spring Craft Show, it intended to replace it with a new event, Riverfest, which would include artisans along with numerous activities focused on the Occoquan River.

Due to COVID-19, the Riverfest was not held last year but the town hopes to hold it in the near future.

“It’s much smaller, but I think it will be quite the experience.”

JULIE LITTLE, Occoquan events and community development manager.

It is also adhering to COVID-19 safety guidelines. Capacity in the park will be limited to 270 people. The booths will be six feet apart.

“There won’t be mobs that you think of when you think of the craft shows,” Little said. “It gives people space to walk around unlike a regular craft show where you have people going in every direction.

“We would like you to wear a mask. We can’t force you to do so but we would like you to,” she said.

There will be signs at the park encouraging all to mask up and arrows directing one-way around the park and out.

“We will know in real time the number of people who enter and exit,” said Occoquan Mayor Earnie Porta. Since the markets are spread out over three weekends, he said he doesn’t expect the town have to limit the number of visitors in the park.

“It depends on the weather, if the weather is really nice, we will get more people, not necessarily for the artisan markets but they will see what is happening,” Porta said. “Since the entrance [fee] is not substantial, they might just decide to go in.”

“With 50 vendors, you will not stay all day here. You will come, you will shop and then you will go to a restaurant in town or you will eat here and take off,” Little said. “I’m thinking the traffic flow should work pretty nicely or this type of market.”

“I’m looking forward to it,” Porta said. “I think it’s a really creative idea.”

While the markets aren’t planned to become a permanent town event, Little said she sees potential in having them at other times, such as the Christmas holidays.

“I feel this is a model; let’s see where it takes us. If it’s successful and it works for vendors and the timing of things, let’s use it. Let’s do it,” she said.

The $5 general admission fee includes entry into a daily drawing for a gift certificate to a town business or a free item from a favorite crafter.

A VIP package, valued at more than $50, is available for $35 and includes general admission for two people, an Occoquan market tote, a dedicated parking space near the event, entry into the daily drawing and two drink tickets. Visit Eventbrite to purchase entry tickets or VIP packages.

CEMETERIES, from page 1 “I think we are all very sorry when anyone’s family gravesite is desecrated,” said Board Chair Ann Wheeler, D-At Large.

The supervisors’ pledge was welcome news to Frank Washington, who grew up in Thoroughfare and began sounding the alarm about threats to family cemeteries in the area last month. Thoroughfare was a community of former slaves and their descendants, as well as Native Americans, that current residents say was largely self-sufficient after the Civil War and well into the 1900s. The area is now best known by Thoroughfare Road and Oakrum Baptist Church, which is led by Frank Washington’s brother, R. Dulany Washington.

Frank Washington became concerned weeks ago about some older family cemeteries when he found a boulder and a locked gate blocking a gravel road used to access the Peyton Thoroughfare Community Cemetery, which is located on land adjacent to the Farm Brewery at Broad Run. But Washington said Tuesday that even he did not initially realize that the area recently cleared by the brewery contained what is known as the “Scott Cemetery.” Washington said he was informed of the damage by county archeologist Justin Patton while the two were investigating a different cemetery.

The Scott Cemetery is included on a county map of historic cemeteries but is not noted on the parcel’s deed. Patton said Tuesday the county would have told the brewery’s owners about the Scott Cemetery if they had applied for the required permit before clearing the land.

“When the clearing was done, they did not get a land-clearing permit, so there was no county review,” Patton said.

Brewery cited with zoning violation, criminal investigation under way

Bill and Michelle DeWitt, the owners of the Farm Brewery at Broad Run, have been cited with a county zoning violation because of the permit violation. The clearing was also investigated by the Prince William County Police Department, which handed its findings over to Commonwealth’s Attorney Amy Ashworth to consider for possible criminal violations.

As of Wednesday, April 28, Ashworth determined there was no evidence “to indicate any willful intent on the part of the property owner to desecrate gravesites” and that no criminal charges would be filed, according to a statement.

In his remarks Tuesday, however, Candland said the matter is still under investigation by Ashworth’s office.

In an interview last month, Michelle DeWitt said the land was cleared to plant sunflowers near the brewery. She also said the brewery never intended to permanently block access to the Peyton Thoroughfare Community Cemetery, which would be a violation of Virginia law. DeWitt also said she was not aware – at that time -- of any gravesites on the brewery’s property.

‘It deserves its place in history’

The DeWitts purchased the 1-acre lot containing the Scott Cemetery for $120,000 in July 2020 at a public tax auction, which was conducted because real estate taxes had not been paid on the property since its last resident, a member of the Scott family, died in 1995, according to an April 26 email Deputy County Executive Rebecca Horner sent to the board of supervisors that was obtained by the Prince William Times through a Freedom of Information Act request.

The county began efforts to sell the land in 2017 to recoup more than $43,000 in back taxes. Heirs of the final owner were contacted prior to the sale, Horner’s email said.

The Scott Cemetery is believed to

cover just a portion of the 1-acre lot.

It was first documented by local historian Ron Turner, who was hired by the Prince William County Historical Commission in the late 1990s to identify and inventory historic cemeteries in the county as a means of protecting them from future development.

In a recent interview, Turner said he called the cemetery “the Scott Cemetery,” because the Scott family owned the land at the time. But Turner said it is “a very old cemetery” that likely pre-dates when the Scotts purchased the land in the mid-1940s.

Turner said he was able to identify the cemetery only by ground depressions and field stones, which were commonly used to mark burials. Turner said he doesn’t know who

might be buried there.

The zoning violation has not yet been resolved. The DeWitts are in talks with county officials regarding hiring an archeology firm to delineate the cemetery, map individual burials, erect fencing around its perimeter and preserve access, Horner told supervisors in a May 4 email, also obtained by the Prince William Times via a FOIA request.

On Tuesday, Washington said he would first like to see the Scott Cemetery restored. Beyond that, “the whole area,” meaning Thoroughfare, “should be deemed historical,” Washington said.

“We’re looking for a historical designation as well,” he added. “It deserves it. It deserves its place in history.”

LEGAL NOTICES FOR PUBLIC REVIEW AND COMMENT Proposed Remedial Action Plan

Site 102 (Abraham’s Creek) Marine Corps Installations National Capital Region Marine Corps Base Quantico, Quantico, Virginia The Department of the Navy, and Marine Corps Installations National Capital Region - Marine Corps Base Quantico (MCBQ), in cooperation with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ), has issued a Proposed Remedial Action Plan to address Site 102, Abraham’s Creek. This work is being completed as part of the Environmental Restoration Program, which addresses contamination on bases resulting from past use and disposal practices for chemicals and petroleum products.

ENVIRONMENTAL HISTORY: Site 102 is located on the eastern side of MCBQ. It is made up of three shallow ponds and wetland areas located between the forested training grounds to the west and parade grounds, barracks, and the Officer Candidate School buildings to the east. These ponds are collectively referred to as Abraham’s Creek.

Site investigations have identified pesticide and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) contamination in Abraham’s Creek sediments. The pesticide contaminant is dichlorodiphenyl-trichloroethane (DDT) and its breakdown products, which together are commonly referred to as DDx. PCBs and DDx do not dissolve easily in water but instead remain attached to sediment and organic matter; therefore, sediment is the only affected media. Sediment in Abraham’s Creek does not tend to be suspended in the water due to low currents, vegetation, and the type of sediment found. The remedial investigation did not identify any sources of contamination around the site and there are no known continuing sources of DDx or PCBs to Site 102.

Risk-assessments completed as part of the remedial investigation process did not indicate a risk to human health that requires action. However, there is potential risk to “ecological receptors” -- fish-eating (piscivorous) birds and mammals, and insect-eating (insectivorous) birds -- due to dietary exposure to DDx in two areas of Abraham’s Creek. PCBs were determined not to pose an unacceptable ecological risk.

PROPOSED REMEDIAL ACTION (CLEANUP) ALTERNATIVE: Based on the results of the investigations, the Navy analyzed several options for reducing the risk to ecological receptors from sediment containing DDx. The Proposed Remedial Action Plan describes four alternatives (including the required baseline “no action” alternative) which were evaluated against established criteria.

The Navy is proposing Alternative 2, which includes in situ (in-place) treatment of the sediment with activated carbon to reduce the bioavailability of the DDx in sediments within Abraham’s Creek. The DDx in the sediments will tightly attach to the carbon granules, which prevents the DDx from entering the food chain and therefore, reduces risk to the ecological receptors.

PUBLIC REVIEW: Public participation is an important part of the remedy selection process and the Navy’s preferred alternative may be modified based on new information and/or public comments. The Navy will finalize its plan, with EPA and VDEQ concurrence, after reviewing all comments received during the public comment period (May 9-June 8).

You can review the Proposed Remedial Action Plan and related site documents on the Navy’s environmental website for MCBQ (https://go.usa.gov/xngKr) or at the following locations: Chinn Park Regional Library 13065 Chinn Park Drive Woodbridge, VA 22192 Phone: (703) 792-4800

GETTING BACK TO BASES

What to know before you go to a ballgame this season

By Jason S. Rufner Special to the Times

Are you ready for some baseball?

After a most unusual 2020 season that saw Major Leaguers playing in empty stadiums, a limited college baseball schedule, and the total cancellation of high school, American Legion, collegiate summer ball and the Minor Leagues, the boys of summer are back in 2021.

Fredericksburg Nationals

-Home field: New Fredericksburg Ballpark -Season: Started May 4; home opener May 11 -How to see a game: The formerly Woodbridgebased Potomac Nationals relocated 30 miles south to become the Fredericksburg Nationals prior to the 2020 season. That campaign was wiped out by the pandemic, so the FredNats make their debut in 2021.

Their 5,000-seat multi-purpose stadium has already seen action, as it served as the Washington Nationals’ alternate training site in 2020 and 2021.

With the COVID-19 pandemic not over, precautions are being taken. Even so, a return to normality is underway – and nothing feels more normal than taking the family out to enjoy the great American pastime at ballparks throughout our region.

If you have a hankering for the smell of fresh-cut grass and the crack (or ping) of the bat, we’ve put together some important information you should know before you head out to the old ballgame.

In accordance with state regulations on outdoor events, capacity for FredNats games will be limited to 50 percent, and fans will be required to wear masks and maintain six feet of distance from others not in their party. Each party will have its own pod in the seating bowl.

“Major League Baseball has implemented a mask mandate at all facilities for the 2021 season, which will remain in effect independent of federal, state or local guidelines,” said Erik Bremer, manager of media relations and the broadcast voice of the FredNats.

Fans will enter and exit the stadium only through the first-base gate, which will be fully opened for safe ingress and egress. Sales of tickets, merchandise, and concessions will be conducted only via electronic See BASEBALL, page 11

BASEBALL, from page 10 transactions. No fans will be permitted on the field or near dugouts or bullpens at any time – but there’s still plenty of fun to be had at the ballpark.

HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL - Home fields: Campus sites - Season: Underway; state championships June 26 - How to see a game: The high school baseball season started late and will finish late, but is currently in full swing. State regulations restrict capacity to 500 spectators at an outdoor event, though that figure rises to 1,000 on May 15.

Osbourn High School activities director Ira DeGrood noted that “our spectator policy is for family members only.” He added that masks will be required and physical distancing of six feet will be encouraged by marked sections of bleachers. Fans may also bring their own chairs to sit in.

The website of C.D. Hylton High School cautions that “all individuals in the Commonwealth aged five and older must cover their mouth and nose with a mask” while at outdoor activities on school grounds.

“Those without vaccine should consider creating greater distance between themselves and others,” said Tara Helkowski, public information officer for Fauquier County Public Schools. “Make every effort to avoid large clusters of spectators in one location.”

“The FredNats are working to reimagine fan-favorite in-game promotions to comply with restricted field access,” Bremer said. “The FredNats want them to come out and enjoy a game just as badly as they do!”

Combining limited seating with the newness of the team, tickets are in high demand - in fact, single-game tickets are already sold out through May. General manager Nick Hall said in a tweet that tickets and vouchers

COLLEGE BASEBALL George Mason University Patriots

- Home field: Spuhler Field - Season: Underway; regular season ends May 22 - How to see a game: Be a GMU student or the guest of a GMU player. Spuhler has a capacity of 900 but is limited to 40 spectators, and tickets aren’t available to the general public this season. Fans are required to wear masks and take in the game from two-person pods in the bleachers behind home plate. The home plate concourse, the outfield berm, and the bleachers next to both dugouts are temporarily closed.

“Although restrictions on outdoor events have eased in recent weeks, the current guidelines still include a requirement to maintain a distance of at least 6 feet between parties,” said James Meyer, GMU’s director of sales and ticket operations. “As a result, we have been unable to increase our capacity or make tickets available to the public.”

These flood hazard determinations may include the addition or modification of Base Flood Elevations, base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Area boundaries or zone designations, or the regulatory floodway. Technical information or comments are solicited on the proposed flood hazard determinations shown on the preliminary FIRM and/or FIS report for various communities within Prince William County, Virginia and Incorporated Areas.

However, before these determinations are effective for floodplain management purposes, you will be provided an opportunity to appeal the proposed information.

For information on the statutory 90-day period provided for appeals, as well as a complete listing of the communities affected and the locations where copies of the FIRM are available for review, please visit FEMA’s website at https:// www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/BFE_Status/bfe_main.asp, or call the FEMA Mapping and Insurance eXchange (FMIX) toll free at 1-877-FEMA MAP (1-877-336-2627).
