ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT WATER POLLUTION FROM BAD
LOGGING JOBS!
The
Virginia Department of Forestry is short handed and needs help
in finding logging jobs.
IT IS THE LAW in Virginia that loggers must report
all new logging jobs to the Department of Forestry.
Despite this, many “bad jobs” go unreported.
We will report these logging
jobs to the Va. Department of Forestry (VDOF) so they can visit
the job. When VDOF staff visit
a logging job, they will advise the logger on how to PREVENT problems. OR, if damage is being done to our streams,
they will direct the logger to CORRECT the problem.
Please provide
the following information:
1. EXACT LOCATION OF
THE JOB (Route #, Landmarks, etc.)
2. NAME OF THE LANDOWNER (If you know it)
3. NAME OF THE LOGGER
(If you know it.
Look for name on trucks, etc.)
4. ANYTHING BAD THAT
CONCERNED YOU (Roads through the stream?)
5.
DATE YOU FIRST SAW THE LOGGING JOB: IS IT ACTIVE?
