In Re: Landfill Financial Assurance Mr. Gary Cifers, Assistant County Administrator, stated that the meeting purpose is to discuss Financial Assurance as it pertains to the Greensville County Landfill. The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) requires that the County submit a final audit as a mechanism off financial assurance by December 31 ofeach year. The assurance provides the fiscal evidence necessary that the County has the needed funds for closure and post closure, which is required by all landfills. Due to Greensville County Public School's failure to submit the required documentation to the auditing firm, the final FY2023 audit has not been completed. As a result, the County has been unable to submit this required documentation tol DEQ. In June 2024, DEQ staff sent a warning notice to Tameka Green, Director of Finance, stating that since the fiscal audit has not been received, another mechanism of financial assurance is required. The warning letter stipulates that if another mechanism is not provided, the County may face fines up to, but not limited to, $32,500 per day. Subsequently, DEQ notified the County that on or before August 26, 2024, the County must submit an alternate financial assurance mechanism totaling $5,546,782 (which includes the funds required for closure and post closure of the landfill as well as the required inflation adjustments for 2024). The County will need to choose one of the three options to satisfy this requirement: Letter ofCredit Trust Agreement Assurance Bond Mr. Cifers further stated that there is approximately $4,000,000 in the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund 17 account that may be used as part of the required $5,546,782. The remaining $1,546,782 would need to come from the County's General Fund Balance. Mr. Cifers also indicated that DEQ would have to release the hold on these funds and they may take up to a year to do SO. Supervisor Conwell asked where do we currently stand with this audit. Ms. Tameka Green, Director of Finance, stated that RFCI has not received the GASB 75 statement which is part ofthe audit. This report may take multiple months to be processed. Ms. Green further stated that she is hopeful the audit would be finalized in the next few weeks. Dr. Charlette T. Woolridge, County Administrator, strongly emphasized the need for Greensville County Public School to submit the required documents expeditiously to complete the FY23 audit. Failure to complete the audit by September 2024 will further impact the County's ability to sustain existing State and Federal grant funds and to receive new funding. 2 Supervisor Conwell asked what would happen ifGreensville County Public School fail to submit documents to complete the FY24 audit on time. Dr. Woolridge stated that if the FY24 audit is not completed and submitted tol DEQ by December 31, 2024, the County could face even higher fines from DEQ and may result in the loss of State and Federal funding needed to ensure continuity of operations. Dr. Kelvin Edwards, Superintendent, stated that the school system had transitioned several financial officers over the last couple of years, which resulted in the required documentation not being completed. He further stated that information had been submitted to McGriff, the third- party vendor, to complete their required assessment. Dr. Edwards also stated that issue will not occur again. Mr. Russell Slayton, County Attorney, discussed the following three options that were Mr. Slayton has been in contact with Benchmark Community Bank in regards to the letter of credit. There would be an estimated fee of $13,867 for the letter of credit. In addition, the $5,546,782 of funds will essentially be frozen and could not be used. The funds are able to The trust agreement appears to have little to no cost associated with this option. This option includes $4,000,000 from the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund 17 account and $1,546,782 from the County's General Fund Balance. However, the $5,546,782 of funds will also be frozen. County staff has been in contact with VACORP about the surety bond. However, an accurate Supervisor Conwell requested that the Greensville County Board of Supervisors and the Supervisor Conwell moved, seconded by Supervisor Astrop, to approve the recommendation of moving forward with the Trust Agreement as recommended by staff.

Future Land Use Map: Industrial DIRECTOR'S COMMENTS The applicant, Reformed Energy (Reformed) has submitted a Special Use Permit application to assemble and operate a thermal treatment facility on the. former Georgia-Pacific site near Skippers, Virginia. Reformed's process recycles waste materials that would otherwise be destined for landfill disposal into energy through gasification. Reformed's closed system "L50" gasification technology will generate synthetic natural gas ("syngas") used toj produce electricity on-site. Electric power will be generated via firing of combustion engine(s) located at the facility which will be used toj power on-site data center modules and other units. The facility will be required to comply with the Virginia solid waste permit-by-rule regulations and other state regulatory requirements, an application for which is being prepared and submitted to the Commonwealth regulatory agencies under separate cover for approval. The proposed facility is planned to be constructed on the footprint of the abandoned press building in the northwest corner ofthe former Georgia-Pacific site located at 234 Forest Road comprising the 64-acre Tract 1. The former Georgia-Pacific site resides within the Zion election district and is currently Upon review oft the Greensville County ordinance, the proposed use complies with the use described as "Compounding, processing, packaging, distribution; except asbestos". Per the ordinance. Article 4, Table 4.1, the proposed use: requires a Special Use Permit under thel M-1 Industrial zoning classification. Pursuant oft this requirement, Reformed is submitting the application and required supporting documentation to operate the facility at the former Georgia- zoned M-1 Industrial. Pacific: site General Siting The proposed location oft the thermal treatment facility will occupy the area oft the former Georgia-Pacific site formerly known as the press building. The initial phase of operations is anticipated to use the northern halfofthe press building footprint, with potential expansion into the: southern halfduring later phases of operation. This location isi ideal given. its proximity to other uses within the site. In addition, the site isi ideal for the following reasons: Access to Rail Service. One of the primary benefits of this site is the access to active rail spurs that can deliver material to the proposed thermal treatment process. Although Phase 1p proposed for this facility is only anticipated to require approximately 501 tons per day of feedstock, the access to rail represents a significant economic benefit and potential for reduction in truck traffic to and from the site, particularly in later phases of operation. Access to Utility Service. Utility infrastructure is already available on-site. Though the thermal treatment process is used to generate power, on-site three-phase service is already Significant Buffers. The proposed siting oft the facility is ideal given the significant buffers surrounding the area. The proposed use will remain on thej press building's footprint; therefore, no deforestation is required for this project. The proposed siting is also secluded and far from neighbors, providing a well-suited area for operations. available for required startup and the gasification process as needed. Consistent with Other Uses on Site. The proposed use is consistent with other on-site uses, including multi-modal waste materials transfer and rail maintenance. Reuse of an Abandoned Facilify. The siting for the proposed facility reuses aj portion of the former Georgia-Pacific site that was previously a press building. The wood waste materials from the demolished press building are anticipated to be salvaged and used as an initial feedstock for the thermal treatment facility. This approach ofusing underutilized. real estate for other purposes as well as conversion of on-site waste material for a beneficial Material deliveries to the facility, including wood waste, shredded tires, low grade (non- recyclable) plastics, and municipal solid waste (MSW) is through the intermodal facility currently operating at the: site. The material is transferred to the thermal treatment facility via bulk transport truck from the rail transfer facility and other sources, meaning the rail-delivered Immediate plans are to remove the existing Press Building structure and build a new: structure on its footprint suitable for the treatment activities. Additional small buildings will be constructed use aligns with Reformed's sustainability goals. loads are not transported offs site. east of the processing facility to house data centers and other utilities. Special Use Permit Application Considerations The following items described below are specific items required with the Special Use Permit application. Traffic The estimated average daily trips generated from the proposed use is identified below. Average. Daily Trip Generation - Phase. 1 Incoming Material* 8 Outgoing Solids* 1 Employee 30 Total:39 only transported on-site. Incoming Material* 24 Outgoing Solids* 3 Employee 50 Total: 77 only transported on-site. *Trip generation represents local material deliveries only, does not include any rail deliveries as they are Average Daily Trip Generation - Phase 2 *Trip generation represents local material deliveries only, does not include any rail deliveries as they are The traffic generated from this operation use will utilize the entrance on Forest Road and ultimately access Route 301 through the existing signalized intersection. Noise Noise will primarily be constrained to the immediate area and characterized by equipment engine operation such as from ai front-end loader/skid steer, process line equipment, combustion engine, and transport vehicles. The sitei is bound by a significant buffer, which generally dampens the migration of any noise. The facility is located away from residential and commercial areas to provide considerable distance from any potential receptors of noise that may be generated at the site. Potential noise generation from the site will be infrequent and relatively mild, especially in comparison to other activity in the area given the presence ofal highly active CSX rail linej just west oft the facility. In addition to the remote location oft the facility, additional good practices will be implemented at this site to comply with facility standard operating procedures. Site lighting is used within the process area oft the thermal treatment facility and ist to be Lights compliant with the County ordinances. Dust The amount of dust generated by the process is minimal given the primary feedstock (i.e., wood chips, tire shred, and waste plastics). Fugitive dust is not anticipated to be an issue at the site. Access roads to the site are paved and properly maintained to minimize dust. Ifneeded, a water truck is used to water bare dirt areas at the site tol help minimize dust. Proper moisture management during the thermal treatment process and in the thermal treatment products while onsite also helps to prevent dust generation. Based on these measures, the storage and transfer of feedstock and processing material do not increase ambient levels of dust around the site. Fumes Prevention of odor is a priority at the facility for instances ofacceptance ofMSW as a feedstock. Reformed implements standard operating procedures to comply with state regulatory requirements and designed to reduce odor generation. This is accomplished through strict process control, containerization/material cover, and good housekeeping. A secondary component is location of the proposed facility. The facility isl located away from residential areas (about 1 mile) toj provide considerable distance from potential receptors of odors that could be generated at the site. Vibrations equipment operations. No vibrations are anticipated with the proposed, use other than vibrations from normal heavy Operations (Outside storage ofn material, screening, pre-processing) Aj plan for operations is required as part oft the: state permitting process. The following presents an overview of planned operations. Loads of waste material used in the thermal treatment process will arrive primarily by truck (approximately two to three trucks per day) with select loads possibly arriving by railcar. Rail loads will be transferred to trucks for final transport to the facility via an on-site road. All loads will be weighed across scales. After arrival at the facility, waste materials (MSW, wood waste, tire shred, low grade plastics (nonrecyclable) or other approved inputs) will be unloaded within a dedicated receiving area and temporarily held and prepared for processing. Material will be loaded onto a belt conveyor and assessed for appropriate use as a thermal treatment process feedstock material and inspected to identify and remove any hazardous or otherwise unacceptable waste. Pre-screened waste material separated from the process inputs deemed not suitable will be separated and disposed in a permitted After pre-processing activities are performed, the bulk material will be shredded and the size reduced particles transported to the processing area where it will be thermally treated via gasification. Regulations and permitting requirements for thermal treatment facilities are set forth in 9VAC20-81-410 ofthe Virginia Administrative Code. After gasification, the generated syngas will be cleaned, conditioned, and conveyed to syngas storage and power generation equipment. Power is anticipated to be used to power small server farms on site housed in mobile disposal facility. small/modular building) storage units. Hours of Operation Given the nature oft the process, the proposed facility operates 24 hours a day, 350 days per year. The facility will be staffed for receiving, processing, and shipping ofmaterials at all hours Monday through Sunday except holidays. Number ofl Employees Reformed plans to employ between 10 and 15 full time employees plus part time employees in support oft the proposed use during the initial phase of operations. These will be mainly management (site manager, control room operator) or skilled field operator positions. Additional employees will be hired for additional phases of operation following expansion on-site. The equipment will include front loaders, skid: steers, tractors, trailers, and technical process equipment (i.e., moisture control and gasification equipment, power generators). Type ofE Equipment Signage No significant signage is proposed; however, a sign will bej plaƧed near the intersection of Forest Road and the site entrance. The sign is to bei in accordance with county ordinance. Comprehensive Plan Compatibility The Greensville County Comprehensive Plan, "Greensville 2040", as adopted on 061 March 2023 Natural Environment Goa!: "Protect ecologicallys sensitive areas that contribute to the health ofthe overall natural environment ofGreensville County, promote viability of the agricultural outlines several goals as applicable to the Special Use Permit application: econony, and encourage outdoor recreational opportumities." Application Considerations: The proposed use is compliant with the comprehensive plan due to the reuse ofan existing building and footprint. No clearing of vegetation and little to no land disturbance is necessary for utilization oft the abandoned site. The proposed use will utilize lands that have already been previously impacted/disturbed from aj previous industrial use and will not require tree or soil removal as the site will be developed within a previously utilized paved area. Specific to aspects ofthe comprehensive plan, the following is for further consideration. Floodplains, The proposed use resides outside oft the 100-year floodplain on the footprint Stormpater: The proposed use is to be compliant with state and local stormwater management. regulations using best management practices and standards, The stormwater generated from the proposed use will be directed to the broader site's existing stormwater system. The operation and all waste material will be housed under cover to avoid contact with precipitation from storm events. The water from precipitation events will be directed ofa former industrial plant. away from the proposed facility toj prevent run on, Wetlands. No wetlands are present within the facility boundary. Infrastructure Goa!: "Leverage communily assets to promole economic growth and atfract industry and: small business that will create economic diversify and provide exceptional quality We-fprale/Cremsille County's citizens.' " Application Considerations: The proposed use. is compliant with the comprehensive plan as this previous abandoned industrial parcel and building can be reused for the benefit of Greensville County through the growth ofnew industry that supports employment growth and recycling/recovery of materials that would otherwise be destined for disposal in a landfill. The proposed use takes an unused asset and repurposes it toa productive site with. little direct impact to County public facilities. Economy Goal: Leverage commity assels to, promote economic growth and aftract industry and. small business fhat will create economic diversily and provide exceptional quality oflife for all ofGreensville Couly's cifizens. " Application Considerations: The proposed use utilizes an existing asset loj promote both economic growth and employment opportunities. The investment from private industry for this thermal treatment facility is in the millions of dollars along with approximately a dozen local positions for site managers and/or skilled operators in the initial phase of development. The facility will also promote secondary growih through equipment supplies, specialty subcontractors and the trucking industry. Average (preliminary) projected compensation estimates are presented. in the table below by Phase I role within the facility. Job Description and Approximate. Projected Annual Compensation Plant Manager/S Senior Staff Plant Workerx xl $113,300 Staff Plant Worker - Control Room x4 $72,100 Staff Plant Worker Control Room/Field Backup x1 $72,100 Staff] Plant Worker- Field: x5 $51,500 Staff Plant Worker- - Part-Time. /Backup x3 $25,750 Transportation Goa!: "Tully utilize and maintain current road and rail nelworks sphile expanding public fransportation opportunitles and upgrading pedlestrian infrastructure to ensure safe and efficient movement of goods, services, and citizens fhroughout Greensville County and beyond." Application Considerations: The proposed use is compliant with the comprehensive plan as this previous abandoned industrial building can be reused for the benefit of Greensville County through the growth ofi new industry that supports the community. The proposed use takes an unused asset and repurposes it to aj productive site with little direct impact to county public facilities. The capability to use the existing rail infrastructure at the site reduces the impact to roads and traffic which otherwise may occur. Given the specialty nature oft the operation, the transportation impact oft this facility is minimal to Land Use Goa!: "Concentrate new business and residential development in und around urban centers and major transportation intersections while allowing rural uses that promote the expansion ofthe agricullural econony and maintain the rural characler and open space of the local community. Greensville County." Application Considerations: This application supports the land use, goal in two (2) affirmations. The first affirmation is the location oft the proposed use. The proposed location is on a former industrial site adjacent to already established industrial uses similar in nature to the proposed use. Siting at the proposed location supports concentrating businesses adjacent to already established and similar industrial uses satisfying the sentiments of the goal. Further, the site is located at a major rail transfer station making good use of existing infrastructure and reducing the impact to other major transportation intersections. The second affirmation is inclusion ofa thermal treatment facility within the County toj provide a sustainable source of employment while reusing previously abandoned: resources.

Regards, Chdle Avi Hoffer 8007 Aberdeen Road, Bethesda, MD: 20814 Special Use Permit Application Reformed Energy Facility Supporting Information Introduction Reformed Energy (Reformed) is pleased to submit to Greensville County a Special Use Permit application to assemble and operate at thermal treatment facility on the former Georgia-Pacific site near Skippers, Virginia. Reformed's process recycles waste materials that would otherwise be destined for landfill disposal into energy through gasification. Reformed's closed system "L50" gasification technology will generate synthetic natural gas ("syngas") used to produce electricity on-site. Electric power will be generated via firing of combustion engine(s). located at the facility which will be used to power on-site data center modules and other units. The facility will be required to comply with the Virginia solid waste permit-by-rule regulations and other state regulatory requirements, an application for which is being prepared and submitted to the Thej proposed facility is planned to be constructed on the footprint ofthe abandoned press building in the northwest corner oft the former Georgia-Pacific site located at 234 Forest Road comprising the 64-acre Tract 1. The: former Georgia-Pacific site resides within the Zion election district and is currently zoned M-1 Industrial. Attachment. 2 provides the location ofthe proposed facility on the Upon review of the GreensVille County ordinance, the proposed use complies with the use described as "Compounding, processing, packaging, distribution; except asbestos". Per the ordinance Article 4, Table 4.1, the proposed use requires a Special Use Permit under the M-1 Industrial zoning classification. Pursuant of this requirement, Reformed is submitting the application and required supporting documentation to operate the facility at the former Georgia- Pacific site. Attachment 3 provides additional information about Reformed Energy's typical Commonwealth regulatory agencies under separate cover: for approval. former Georgia-Pacific site. process. General Siting Thej proposed. location ofthe thermal treatment facility will occupy the area ofthe former Georgia- Pacific site formerly known as the press building. The initial phase of operations is anticipated to use the northern! halfofthe press building footprint, with potential expansion into the southern half during later phases of operation. This location is ideal given its proximity to other uses within the site as illustrated in Attachment 4. In addition, the site is ideal for the following reasons. Access to Rail Service. One oft thej primary benefits oft this site is the access to active rail spurs that can deliver material to the proposed thermal treatment process. Although Phase 1p proposed for this facility is only anticipated to require approximately 50 tons per day of feedstock, the access to rail represents a significant economic benefit and potential for reduction in truck traffic to and from the site, particularly in later phases of operation. 1of8 Special Use Permit Application Reformed Energy Facility Supporting Information Access to Utility Service. Utility infrastructure is already available on-site. Though the thermal treatment process is used to generate power, on-site three-phase service is already Significant Buffers. The proposed siting ofthe facility isi ideal given the significant buffers surrounding the area. The proposed use will remain on the press building's footprint; therefore, no deforestation isi required for this project. The proposed siting is also secluded and far from neighbors, providing a well-suited area for operations. Consistent with Other Uses on Site. The proposed use is consistent with other on-site uses, including multi-modal waste materials transfer and rail maintenance. Reuse of an Abandoned Facility. The siting for the proposed facility reuses aj portion of the former Georgia-Pacific site that was previously a press building. The wood waste materials from the demolished press building are anticipated to be salvaged and used as an initial feedstock for the thermal treatment facility. This approach ofusing underutilized real estate for other purposes as well as conversion of on-site waste material for a beneficial Material deliveries to thei facility, including wood waste, shredded tires, low grade (non-recyclable) plastics, and municipal solid waste (MSW) is through the intermodal facility currently operating at the: site. The material is transferred tot the thermal treatment facility vial bulk transport truck: from the rail transfer facility and other sources, meaning the rail-delivered loads are: not transported off Immediate plans are to remove the existing Press Building structure and build a new structure on its footprint suitable fort the treatment activities. Additional small buildings willl be constructed east available for required startup and the gasification process as needed. use aligns with Reformed's sustainability goals. site. of the processing facility to house data centers and other utilities. Special Use Permit Application Considerations The following items described below are specific items required with the Special Use Permit application. Traffic The estimated average daily trips generated from the proposed use is identified in Table 1 below.

Thet traffic generated. from this operation use will utilize the entrance on Forest Road and ultimately access. Route 301 through the existing signalized intersection. Noise Noise will primarily be constrained to thei immediate area and characterized by equipment engine operation such as from a front-end loader/skidsteer, process line equipment, combustion engine, and transport vehicles. The site is bound by a significant buffer, which generally dampens the migration of any noise. The facility is located away from residential and commercial areas to provide considerable distance from any potential receptors ofnoise that may be generated at the site. Potential noise generation from the site will be infrequent and relatively mild, especially in comparison to other activity in the area given the presence of a highly active CSX rail line just In addition to the remote location oft the facility, additional good practices will be implemented at west ofthe facility. this site to comply with facility standard operating procedures. Lights Site lighting is used within the process area oft the thermal treatment facility and is to be compliant with the County ordinances. Dust The amount of dust generated by the process is minimal given the primary feedstock (i.e., wood chips, tire shred, and waste plastics). Fugitive dust is not anticipated to be an issue at the site. Access roads to the site are paved and properly maintained to minimize dust. If needed, a water truck is used to water bare dirt areas at the: site tol help minimize dust. Proper moisture management during the thermal treatment process and in the thermal treatment products while onsite also helps 3of8 Special Use Permit Application Reformed Energy Facility Supporting Information to prevent dust generation. Based on these measures, the storage and transfer of feedstock and processing material do not increase ambient levels of dust around the site. Fumes Prevention of odor is aj priority at the facility for instances of acceptance ofl MSW as a feedstock. Reformed: implements standard operating procedures to comply with state regulatory requirements and designed to reduce odor generation. This is accomplished through strict process control, As secondary component is location of the proposed facility. The facility is located away from residential areas (about 1 mile) toj provide considerable distance from potential receptors of odors containerization/materal cover, and good housekeeping. that could be generated at the site. Vibrations equipment operations. No vibrations are anticipated with the proposed use other than vibrations from normal heavy Operations (Outside storage of material, screening, pre-processing) Aj plan for operations is required as part oft the state permitting process. The following presents an Loads of waste material used in the thermal treatment process will arrive primarily by truck (approximately two to three trucks per day) with select loads possibly arriving by railcar. Raill loads will be transferred to trucks for final transport to the facility via an on-site road. All loads will be After arrival att the facility, waste materials (MSW, wood waste, tire shred, low grade plastics (non- recyclable) or other approved inputs) will be unloaded within a dedicated receiving area and temporarily held and prepared for processing. Material will be loaded onto a belt conveyor and assessed for appropriate use as a thermal treatment process feedstock material and inspected to identify and remove any hazardous or otherwise unacceptable waste. Pre-screened waste material separated from thej process inputs deemed nots suitable willl bes separated and disposed in aj permitted After pre-processing activities are performed, the bulk material will be shredded and the size reduced particles transported to the processing area where it will be thermally treated via gasification. Regulations and permitting requirements for thermal treatment facilities are: set forth After gasification, the generated syngas will be cleaned, conditioned, and conveyed to syngas storage and power generation equipment.

The facility will bes staffed for receiving, processing, and shipping ofmaterials at alll hours Monday through Sunday except holidays. Number of Employees Reformed plans to employ between 10 and 15 full time employees plus part time employees in support of the proposed use during the initial phase of operations. These will be mainly management (site manager, control room operator) or skilled field operator positions. Additional employees will be hired for additional phases of operation following expansion on-site. Type of Equipment The equipment will include front loaders, skid steers, tractors, trailers, and technical process equipment (i.e., moisture control and gasification equipment, power generators). Signage No significant signage is proposed; however, a sign will be placed near the intersection of] Forest Road and the site entrance. The sign is to bei in accordance with county ordinance. Comprehensive Plan Compatibility The Greensville County Comprehensive Plan, "Greensville 2040", as adopted on 06 March 2023 outlines several goals as applicable to the Special Use Permit application. 5of8 Special Use Permit Application Reformed Energy Facility Supporting Information Natural Environment Goal: "Protect ecologically sensifive areas that contribute to the health of the overall natural environment of Greensville County, promote viability of the agricultural Application Considerations: The proposed use is compliant with the comprehensive plan due to the reuse of an existing building and footprint.
