<br />Purpose and Need:
<br />
<br />· The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) erred in the placement of an

<br />future environmental problems.
<br />
<br />Financial Impact:
<br />
<br />· There is no financial impact.
<br />
<br /> Motion by Mr. Pitts, and seconded by Mr. Whitehurst, to adopt the following
<br />resolution, and was adopted by the following vote:
