About Supervisor Bierman

Fuel Spill Cleanup at Difficult Run
On Thursday, April 3, 2025, The Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department and HazMat resources responded to a truck crash near Leigh Mill and Kelso Road that spilled gasoline into Difficult Run.
The clean-up effort by a remediation contractor is being overseen by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). DEQ has not observed any impacts to aquatic life, and there is no current evidence that indicates the spill will impact residential water wells in the area. Residents are asked to contact Stefanie Jones, DEQ Remediation Geologist, at stefanie.jones@deq.virginia.gov or (571) 408-3110 with any questions.
The next community update is scheduled for April 21 at 1:00 p.m. See below for details.

Upcoming Events
Downtown McLean Development
The Board of Supervisors adopted the Plan Amendment for the McLean Community Business Center (CBC) in June 2021. The McLean CBC is an approximately 230-acre area centered around the intersection of Chain Bridge Road and Old Dominion Drive and is coterminous with the McLean Commercial Revitalization District.
The McLean CBC serves as McLean’s “downtown” and is characterized by neighborhood-serving retail uses including shopping centers, automobile service stations, banks and restaurants, as well as office buildings and former residences converted to offices or retail establishments. In addition to commercial uses, the CBC is also developed with mid and high-rise multifamily buildings. Townhouses and single-family detached residences are located along the edges of the CBC.
