Nearly every day over the last 32 months, members of a citizens group in Giles County, Va., have paid a visit to a seven-acre stretch of land along the ancient New River, where a planned business park is now under construction. They’ve snapped photos and shot video of bulldozers unloading more than 100,000 cubic yards of “structural fill” into an unlined bed, raising the site’s height by 30 feet, making it level with a nearby highway.
