Spring Plant Swap Held May 1 The 4th annual Huntington Spring Plant Swap Brunch was held on a sunny Saturday, May 1, at the Huntington Community Center. Although there was a smaller than usual turnout, more gardeners from neighboring communities attended, and the variety of plants was larger. A big selection of gardening 'how-to' information from Fairfax Master Gardeners was also available.

Huntington Approves Conservation Plan Amendments
Fairfax County has decided not to proceed with the Conservation Plan amendments at this time. The community's work on the Conservation Plan amendments can be found in the web site Planning section.

Flood Levee Proposed
A flood wall levee is proposed for protecting Huntington from Cameron Run flooding. A levee would be roughly 65 feet wide and have at least one access ramp for maintenance and emergency equipment. The levee at its highest point at Fenwick would be 19.6 feet and would have three pumping stations. At this height, there is only a two percent chance of it being overtopped. The levee would also meet FEMA certifications requirements meaning that residents living behind the levee would not have the mandatory flood insurance purchase requirement.

The Corps and the County will now move forward with the necessary design work. You may see Corps engineers in the community taking soil samples and performing similar work. The Corps estimates that the levee can take up to two years to construct. Huntington did not qualify for Federal funds to construct the levee. The Corps estimates the cost to be about 25 million dollars. The Huntington Community will need to work with County, State and Federal officials to identify funding sources. It may turn out to be a combination of funding sources.
