The Roanoke River Basin Bi-State Commission was established in the executive branch of state government. Duties and powers of the Roanoke River Basin Bi-State Commission are pursuant to Virginia Code §§ 62.1-69.37 and 62.1-69.39.

This report, which is required by Virginia Code § 62.1-69.44, provides information regarding the Roanoke River Basin Bi-State Commission's activities during the 2018 fiscal year. The Bi-State Commission meets throughout the Roanoke River Basin, alternating states, in an effort to make the meetings available to all Basin constituents. The Virginia delegation of the Bi-State Commission did not meet during the 2018 fiscal year. Neither the standing committees nor the ad hoc committee associated with the Bi-State Commission met in 2018.

The Virginia delegation currently holds the Chair position of the Bi-State Commission. In accordance with the By-Laws, the Commission will undergo a succession of officers at the next meeting as the leadership rotates each year. One membership change occurred in 2018, as Senator David Suetterlein replaced Senator William Stanley on the Bi-State Commission based on the appointment by the Senate Committee on Rules. Further details of the Virginia Delegation’s work can be found on the Roanoke River Basin Advisory Committee’s website.

This constitutes the Chairman’s executive summary of activity and work of the advisory committee, pursuant to Virginia Code § 62.1-69.35:2.

Sincerely,

Haywood Hamlet
Chairman, Roanoke River Basin Bi-State Commission
