A novel concept

The cost of the intake project is reportedly $10 million dollars, or between two and three times what Congress imposes on two major departments of the federal government, whose budgets total many billions of dollars.
I find the Authority’s position that the intake is “minor” laughable.
I would also like to point out that the Fluvanna ordinances also places restrictions on floodplain and floodway development (Sec 22-17-8A.17), Standards for the Floodway. Any river water intake, by definition, will be in the floodway. Section E permits, by Special Use Permit, uses such as “public water and sewer transmission lines, treatment facilities and pumping stations”, among others. The key again is the SUP.
A locality complying with applicable law? What a novel concept.
