DEQ Approves Caroline’s Application for Rappahannock River Withdrawal

Pumpkin Island returned again this year, visible from the Canal Path. For several years, pumpkins have mysteriously appeared on an island in the Rappahannock River.

“The Garrett family is committed to challenging the taking of their property and we are evaluating what, if anything the DEQ permit does to the argument that we made in our pleading challenging that taking,” Fredericksburg Free Press reported. “There are a number of issues still unresolved and really have nothing to do with the DEQ component here. Now that piece has been put in place, we’ll be evaluating how best to go forward on that challenge.”
