~Survey opens today for community input and ends October 20~

FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va – Community feedback is being solicited by the Fairfax County Department of Public Works and Environmental Services on a study to determine how best to preserve a smaller Lake Accotink for a sustainable future. This survey is intended to ensure the community has input on the questions being addressed by the study and to build lines of communication with the public to share information and collect feedback as the study progresses.

Lake Accotink provides valuable recreational opportunities to Fairfax County residents and supports a variety of wildlife. Lake Accotink is important to people from different cultures and backgrounds, for many reasons. However, due to the large, developed area upstream, and the significant amounts of sediment that flows into the lake, continuing to dredge the lake to maintain its current size might be too expensive, too impactful to our natural resources, or too disruptive to adjacent communities.

We want to hear from you! To take the quick 8-to-10-minute survey, either scan the QR code below, or visit https://engage.fairfaxcounty.gov/lake-accotink-preservation. The survey closes on October 20.

Public input is critical to ensuring the study adequately addresses resident and stakeholder questions and concerns.
