RD382 - Annual Report on the Roanoke River Basin Bi-State Commission


Executive Summary:
The “Roanoke River Basin Bi-State Commission Annual Report,” is prepared pursuant to Chapter 5.4 of Title 62.1 of the Code of Virginia § 62.1-69.44.  A copy is available from the Department of Environmental Quality’s (DEQ) website at: http://www.deq.virginia.gov/regulations/reports.html. Contacts for information regarding the report are Greg Anderson, DEQ West Central Regional Office Water Monitoring Manager, at (540) 562-6871 or Rick Linker, Policy and Planning Manager, at (804) 698-4195.

This memorandum constitutes the official report.  There have been no meetings of the Commission to date. This is of concern to the Virginia Delegation to the Bi-State Commission and members of the Virginia Roanoke River Basin Advisory Committee (VRRBAC).  It is important for this group to become active so that dialogue representing the entire Basin takes place and progress is made on Basin issues. The legislative members of VRRBAC have written the North Carolina Governor and Secretary of the Environment and Natural Resources to recommend holding the inaugural meeting of the Roanoke River Basin Bi-state Commission.
