Nelson County BoS: Update our floodplain ordinance with Higher Standards!

Up date floodplain guidelines.

We need to update our floodplain ordinance. Camille is not a once in a lifetime event.

please update our floodplain ordinance - history has shown that this county needs high standards of protection agains flooding

Please protect our county

I think this is very important and appreciate your attention to this matter.

I believe it is undeniable that the devastation experienced here in Nelson County during hurricane Camille should be enough reason to strengthen our floodplain ordinance and protect people here from travesties such as the proposed Atlantic Coast Pipeline project. Please see that this is done.

I moved to Nelson County 20 years ago (to high ground above the Rockfish) because my house was flooded in Sugar Hollow. I was alledgedly NOT in the flood plain there. Anything can happen with rivers, streams and rain. Please update our floodplain ordinance now!

Living near the Rockfish River, I witness first hand on a fairly regular basis the destruction that flooding brings.

Please, adopt the higher standards regarding flood plain management

Please Update our floodplain ordinance with higher standards!

Update our floodplain ordinance with Higher Standards. No ACP Generational Genocide

Thank you for your show of integrity in honoring all the lives lost due to flooding in Nelson. A tragic price to pay for clear evidence that running pipelines alongside/through the James River could prove catastrophic to our sacred lands, treasured animals, and humans for generations to come.

This is a key step is assuring Nelson County's safety and growth.

I see no reason why we shouldn't upgrade our Floodplain Ordinance to comply with the DCR's recommendations. Please take action on this and make sure that Nelson County gets all the NFIP discounts and other protections that we can!

Please pay attention to this urgent matter

Let's keep up the fight to preserve our natural environment

Please protect Nelson

When I moved to Nelson County in 1979, the 25.4 acres my husband and I purchased in the Faber area still showed the scars of Camille. The stream that bisects the property had made a deep gouge into the earth on the side nearest the rural route. Vegetation now covers the scar but I never forget that it is there. Nelson County needs the most robust flood protection possible.

UPDATE our floodplain ordinance with much higher standards as soon as possible!

Use taxpayer's money for their benefit.
