HAYMARKET — Boy Scout officials are seeking Prince William County approval to add shooting sports activities at Camp William B. Snyder near Haymarket, including two outdoor rifle and shotgun ranges, but the plan has raised safety and noise concerns for nearby traffic on Interstate 66.
Both state and county transportation officials who reviewed the plan questioned whether traffic on nearby I-66 could be impacted, possibly winding up in the line of fire. The proposal requires approval from the Prince William Board of County Supervisors.
