The rain has lifted and the stormwater retention works!

Albemarle County and the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality are very strict with storm-water mitigation for housing construction. I'm pleased to report that after record-setting rains this May, the stormwater structures work and the retention ponds hold!  The two creeks on the property are unharmed and clean.  


These expensive but important requirements for residential developers unfortunately don't seem required for the natural gas pipeline construction here in Virginia.  Here's an article of a mudslide caused by the Mountain Valley Pipeline construction.  This wouldn't have happened if they were also required to build in such elaborate stormwater mitigation. 

The above picture is Mia and Ava in front of Unit 4 during a break in the rain.
