Mothershead, County Administrator  November 8, 2024  November 14th Board of Supervisors Meeting  Dear Board Members:  Please find enclosed the information needed for the November 14th Board of Supervisors Meeting, set to begin at 9:00 A.M. in the County Public Meeting Room. A public hearing is scheduled for the evening session at 7:00p.m. You can find thei information necessary for the public hearing behind the corresponding Richmond County is fortunate to have employees inj place who truly care about the County and each other. In an effort to encourage high performance, increase employee engagement and retain top talent, a Department Recognition Program is in place. During the month of November, the Sheriff's Office, Dispatch and Animal Control will be our highlight. Individuals from these departments will be invited to  tab in your binder.  the meeting to receive our thanks and appreciation.  AGENDA ITEMS Tire Amnesty Day Discussion  At the October meeting, discussion was held on tire collection in Richmond County and the possibility of collecting farm/tractor tires. After following up with the tire companies that we currently use for tire collection, it appears that they would accept the tires, but we would be charged based on the sizes loaded on the subject trailer - we would not pay a flat rate for disposal. Each tire, based on its size, could cost between $100 and $300 to dispose of. This could get very costly for an open collection and I'm not certain that charging pert tire for disposal would bej possible. Iwill continue communication with other surrounding counties to gauge any interest in perhaps having a joint tire collection event. Until then, citizens are  encouraged to drop off 4 tires per day at any of our collection sites.  Richard] E. Thomas Election! District1  J.David Parr Election) District2  John) R.

In addition, I'd like to thank the staff members of Strata Solar and their contractors who assisted the fire department at a ditch fire along Route 3 near the Cerulean Solar facility.

Setback Regulations and Variances  With reference to the attached Site Plan (see Appendix B), the existing fence line of the substation parcel 324-34A (zoned M-1) is 75-feet from the northern parcel boundary, 80-feet from the western parcel boundary (at the closest point) and has a 50-feet setback from the right of way tot the south (Indian Field Road). From the nearest Dominion equipment on the pad located within the existing compound, it is 80- feet from the northern parcel boundary and 100-feet from the western parcel boundary. Following the completion of the proposed expansion, the closet substation equipment:  to the western parcel line (Side Setback) will be 65-feet, tot the northern parcel line (Rear Setback) will be 75-feet, and tot the southern parcel line (Front Setback) will be 52-feet Zoning Ordinance Chapter 157 specifies that a setback is:    "The horizontal distance between the street right-of-way line and the front line ofa a building or any projection thereof, excluding uncovered. steps, or the horizontal distance between the side or rear line ofal building or any projection thereof, excluding uncovered steps, and the side or rear lot 157.041 Industrial, General (M-1) details setback minimums that will be applied in development within M-  line..." 1zoned areas -  (E) Setback regulations.

With this application Dominion Energy meets the required setbacks with the rezoning oft thet two parcels to  M-1.  Impacts on Public Facilities & Public Infrastructure  Public nfrastructure  The proposed expansion to the existing Northern Neck: Substation will not create any additional burden on County services such as schools, roads, or other public utilities. At the conclusion of construction, visits to the site will be limited tor routine operations and maintenance currently experienced at the site. Therefore, the Project will not introduce a burden to county roads or facilities. Due to there being no permanent, on-site staff for thet facility, no impact to public facilities is expected., The Project will mitigate impacts to neighboring parcels through maximizing the use of naturally occurring vegetative screening paired with thei installation and maintenance of both adequate setbacks and additional vegetative buffer areas, as necessary. Dué to safety and maintenance requirements, vegetation will be limited in the right-of-way under overhead lines and within 20 feet of the substation due The proposed transmission substation equipment to be installed inside the proposed fence area will not exceed the 35-foot height restriction, measured from the base of the structure to its highest point. There will be no signage on site, except for that required by Dominion for safety, security, or site operations. Noise characteristics will be typical of an electrical substation and sound levels willi follow the County's The Project will be designed tor meet the requirements as required by' VAI DEQ and approved under the Annual Standards and Specifications. This wille ensure that stormwater will be regulated within and prior to leaving the site to ensure no adverse impacts will occur on site or downstream of the Project area. Both water quality and quantity willl be considered and protected as thet facility design progresses. See the Site Plan grading and stormwater plan.

The Project design will not encroach on any large contiguous areas of critical slopes; as definedi in Richmond County, Virginia Code of Ordinances Chapter 157 Zoning- General Design and Performance  Facility Considerations Project Site Access  Access to the Project Site will occur viat the existing access road off Indian Field Road as well as with a second proposed access to be built off Indian Field Road as identified in the plan. Minimal impact to traffic is expected during construction. Once operational, and as is currently at the existing substation, there will be no daily staff at the Project Site, and site visits are expected to be limited tor routine operations and The proposed expanded facility equipment will be enclosed in an 8-foot-tall perimeter fence. The fencing serves to prevent unauthorized personnel from entering the Project Site and will protect the system components from damage. Security gates will bei installed to allow for ingress and egress of authorized personnel. Temporary fencing will be installed, as necessary, for safety and security during construction. Access will bel limited to authorized personnel only. Safety and security signs will be located along the perimeter fence.

Facility Permitting Stormwater Management Plan  Understanding the need for protecting clean water sources, the Applicant, as authorized by the Virginia Stormwater Management Program ("VSMP") through their approved Annual Standards and Specifications, will, through an authorized independent third-party reviewer, coordinate the review and approval of the final stormwater management plan. The Project's conceptual Stormwater Management The Applicant will ensure strict compliance with all applicable erosion and sediment control laws and regulations. Management practices utilized on site will be designed specifically to prevent the discharge of sediment and other pollutants into nearby streams and bodies of water. The Applicant, as authorized by' VAI DEQ through their approved Annual Standards and Specifications, will, through an authorized independent third-party reviewer, coordinate the review and approval of the erosion and sediment control plan. The Project's conceptual Erosion and Sediment Control Plan can be seen in the proposed Site Plan.  Plan can be viewed in the proposed Site Plan.
