 Cedars/Powell River Russell Sawmill Remediation Project

The Daniel Boone SWCD partnered with various groups to clean up portions of the old Russell Sawmill property with expectations of developing the site for recreational and educational use.  Site Specific Assessment Funds provided through the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality and Virginia Brownfield Restoration and Economic Redevelopment Assistance Funds provided through the Virginia Economic Development Partnership Authority were used to complete the following phases of the project:
*Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA)
*Phase II ESA
*Limited Site Remediation Plan
*Appraisal
A portion of the property was acquired and added to the Cedars Natural Area Preserve, including the entrance to the Thompson-Cedar cave, home to a population of the Lee County cave isopods.
