Prince William Times: “The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality has fined Churchill Downs Group, owner of the forthcoming “The Rose” gaming resort in Dumfries, nearly $15,000 for environmental violations related to its construction on the former Potomac Landfill site.”
“Until 2022, the site of the new resort, now being built along Interstate 95 in Dumfries, was known as the Potomac Landfill. Colonial Downs, the original owner of The Rose, closed the landfill as part of the deal to build the future gaming resort there.”
“Though no longer operational, the landfill still has to meet state environmental standards. Inspections in the Fall of 2022 found exposed waste and “leachate seep,” which is water coming up through the waste and leaking out of the landfill.”
Colonial Downs, Rosie's Gaming Emporium operator in Dumfries, wants to max out the number of video slot machines at its gambling venue in the Triangle Shopping Center.
The Dumfries Town Council will take up the measure during its meeting tomorrow, Tuesday, July 11, 2023. The meeting starts at 7 p.m. at the town hall, 17739 Main Street, Suite 200, in Dumfries. Here's the agenda.
