Prince William County Settles Lawsuit with Smith Dump Operators

Here is an email from PWC Assistant Attorney Jeff Notz that outlines the terms of the settlement with the Smith Dump operators:

March 9, 2012  

Judge O’Brien signed a final order today in the Smith case. A copy of the order attached. This is a public document and you are free to share it with whomever you like.  

As you will see, the order allows Mr. Smith to complete work on two ponds and a pasture area near the ponds, but he may only do so under certain important conditions. Mr. Smith may only receive a maximum of 50 truck loads of dirt per day, and he may not make any money from the dirt deliveries. Delivery hours are restricted to weekdays 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., but when Bull Run Middle School is in session the entrance gate to the farm must be closed from 7:00 a.m to 8:15 a.m., and 2:45 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. Mr. Smith has three months to complete his project. Other provisions of the order allow the County to monitor and inspect the work being done.  

Given the entry of the order and its favorable terms for the County, there will not be a hearing in this case.  

If you have any questions, please let me know.  

Thank You,  

Jeff Notz
Assistant County Attorney
