1999 SESSION
SB 856 Claims; Stophel, Henry.
Introduced by: W. Roscoe Reynolds | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Claims; Stophel, Henry. Provides $65,000 in relief for Henry Stophel, contingent upon his deeding his property in Henry County to the Commonwealth. Beginning with rains from Hurricane Fran, Mr. Stophel's property has sustained severe soil erosion and mud slides. The house was built on unstable soil, and the combination of soil saturation from heavy rainfall and the presence of the road cut at the toe of the slope caused the failure of the soil. The erosion problem was exacerbated by the Department of Transportation's removing fill dirt from a highway adjacent to his property following the initial mud slide in 1996. The assessed value of Mr. Stophel's property is less than the cost of constructing improvements to stabilize the hillside.
