Speakers in care of odor & dead/ill wildlife: City of Norfolk, Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), Norfolk Department of Health (Paul), Virginia Department of Health (VDH), and Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources (DWR). Group was nNotified of odor and wildlife issues – on 1st SEP, found discharge of sewage from Max’s Barge and Max’s was issued a “notice of violation”. Max’s had a plumber out and responded within two (2) hours; problem resolved. Barge/crane is related to construction, not this incident.
