• VA DEQ honors request for Rush River Monitoring
Last December, RappFLOW wrote a formal request to the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, requesting that the DEQ provide additional water quality monitoring downstream of the town of Washington on the Rush River. On April 30, we received a letter stating that the DEQ will honor our request. This request was based on the desire of landowners on the Rush River to have water quality monitoring in place before the town starts to discharge effluent from a new wastewater treatment plant into the Rush River.
