NOTICE FOR EARLY PUBLIC REVIEW OF A PROPOSAL TO SUPPORT ACTIVITY IN A 100-YEAR FLOODPLAIN April 22, 2026TO: All Interested Agencies, Groups and Individuals:The Village of Fairview and the unincorporated areas of Belmont County, which include Mt. Olivett and Hendrysburg, will be served by the proposed Village of Barnesville North Waterline Extension Project, which aims to address critical water infrastructure needs in under-served areas of Belmont and Guernsey County. The project addresses a critical public health need by extending a public waterline to these areas where residents currently rely on shallow private wells, cisterns, or costly hauled water that are often unsafe or unreliable due to historical coal mining impacts. By replacing failing on-site well systems that contribute to water contamination, the project will provide safe and dependable drinking water to affected households.Construction of the proposed waterline extension will occur within 100-year floodplain of Spencer Creek and local tributaries. The project elements are not anticipated to affect flood flow. The waterline will be horizontally bored under the creek to avoid impacts to the creek.
