The Association has received requests for more information regarding the spraying being done in the common areas. The MSDS for the product being used can be found at the following link: https://ashburnfarmassociation.org/main/wp-content/uploads/OSC/4_Speed_XT_MSDS.pdf

The information included in the MSDS sheets is prepared for applicators (who are in direct contact with the concentrated chemicals) and for members of the fire department (who may need to extinguish a fire or respond to a vehicle accident that contains these chemicals). The concentrated chemicals are diluted before use at a rate of 3-5 pints/220 gallons of water.

The Association’s landscape maintenance contractor will begin spray applications of fertilizer and broadleaf weed herbicide on Monday, June 10th (weather permitting). Spraying will continue throughout the community through the 21st. (Weather delays may push treatments into the last week of June).

Selective and non-selective herbicides will also be utilized in the areas adjacent to trails where poison ivy and poison oak are prevalent. Areas around the storm water retention ponds will be treated with an aquatic-safe herbicide to for poison ivy and poison oak in the un-mowed buffer and turf around the ponds.

Yellow “Warning” notices will be posted in treatment areas.

In order to avoid collecting recycling containers that were personally purchased by homeowners, Patriot Disposal has updated their collection process. Patriot previously provided townhome owners 18-gallon, open-top recycling bins. Any of these bins that are no longer wanted by homeowners should be dropped off at one of the three pool house parking lots in Ashburn Farm, where they will be collected next week (pool house addresses can be found below).

Homeowners are welcome to keep the bins, if they would like; however, they do not comply with the Association’s or the County’s current standards for storage or disposal of recycling or trash, and they should no longer be used for that purpose. Please click here for the current Association trash standards.

How can townhome residents procure a trash and/or recycling toter that complies with the County & AFHOA Standards?

The Association has been working with Patriot Disposal to provide hard-sided containers with tight-fitting, attached lids. An agreement has been made that facilitates townhome owners leasing a 32-gallon recycling and/or trash toter, for a one-time administrative fee of $20 for one container and $15 for a second. These containers will be replaced by Patriot for issues arising from normal use for the life of the service contract. There will be a replacement charge for each toter or bin that is lost, stolen, or damaged.

Please email Kristen Cornwell at [email protected] or call 703-729-6680 to order a toter. Provide your full name, address, the number of toters you need, and how you intend to pay the administrative fee, (added to your HOA account with Summit Management or by check, mailed in or dropped off at the Association Office). The first distribution of these containers is tentatively scheduled for the last week in April.

Association Members who would like additional toters should contact Patriot Disposal and lease them for $25 each.

NOTICE: The 18-gallon open-top recycling bins previously provided by Patriot Disposal to the townhomes will be collected and disposed of if put at the curb for collection, as they do not comply with the Association’s or the County’s standard for storage or disposal of recycling or trash. This will begin April 1, 2019.

The Association has been approached by Association Members affected by the Government Shutdown and Furlough, seeking relief from late and administrative fees for unpaid Association assessments. The Association Board of Trustees has unanimously approved a measure that will suspend late and administrative fees applied by the Association to HOA accounts past due for Association Member accounts in good standing as of December 31, 2018. This relief from late and administrative fees will be in effect for a period of 90 days past the date the Shutdown/Furlough has ended to allow those affected to bring their HOA account current. This does not waive or reduce the monthly Association assessment. This policy will be applied retroactively and will allow Government Employees and those directly affected by the Shutdown/Furlough that have been unable to pay the January 1, 2019 Association assessment to seek relief.

The Association will require proof of employment by the Federal Government or an affected department thereof; that one is indeed affected by the Shutdown/Furlough and proof of Association Membership. This should include a federal government photo ID for Association Members on record with the HOA / Loudoun County as the owner of a property in Ashburn Farm. Or a state issued ID and/or utility bill along with a federal government ID, etc. You will need to provide the necessary information to the Association Office staff at the Windmill Community Center on Windmill Drive to be added to the Shutdown / Furlough Relief List.
