AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
IN ROANOKE, VA ON TUESDAY,
MEETING DATE: February 12, 1991
AGENDA ITEM: National Park Service (NPS) Visitor Center Location
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS'
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY-
Roanoke County has supported Explore and related elements, i.e.
Roanoke River Greenway, Parkway, and Visitor Center, located in the
County in the past.
1~r. Hodge will brief the Board of Supervisors on recent activities
related to the location of a national Visitor Center being planned
along the Blue Ridge Parkway and recommend Board action.
BACKGROUND•
In April 1987, Congress created a new, national parkway and
allocated $15 million for its planning and construction.
In October 1988, the U. S. Department of the Interior appropriated
$450,000 for site selection, programming, and architectural plan
production of a National Park Service Visitor Center to be located
near the Blue Ridge Parkway and Roanoke River Parkway.
Five sites in Roanoke County were studied in the Draft
Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS attached, please see pages
20-23) for the Roanoke River Parkway.
Of the five sites studied, one has been identified by NPS as the
best, most visible site. The Explore Park Master Plan illustrated
the preferred locatiol~ in its 1987 plan, then reflecting the
connector from the Blue midge Parkway to the Roanoke River Parkway.
Plans have changed for the Roanoke River Parkway, which is now
being looked at as a 2 1/4 mile spur road from the Blue Ridge
Parkway to Explore by way of the Roanoke Regional Landfill.
~-/
With this shorter route, the NPS Visitor Center location has been
uncertain due to several issues, including:
1) pending closing of the Roanoke Regional Landfill,
2) pending completion of the EIS for the Roanoke River Parkway,
3) ability to acquire land for site,
4) estimated costs of site preparation, and
5) lack of encouragement to proceed separately from parkway plans.
On January 30, 1991, Dr. Nickens sent a letter expressing his
interest in site #3, stating plans for a Board briefing on the
Center, and requesting notification of any additional information
the Southeast Region, National Park Service may need from the
County.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
Roanoke County has an interest and preference in the Visitor Center
location. The Visitor Center prepresents a vital linkage to the
entire region for tourism, retail sales, and business. By making
a recommendation, now, the County Board of Supervisors has an
opportunity to affect the Center's location and encourage its
continued progress.
The Visitor Center stands to benefit the entire region as a gateway
and introduction to the Roanoke Valley. What visitors feel about
the region will be based largely on what they see and experience,
beginning at the Visitor Center. By being located in Roanoke
County the County's image can be enhanced. Therefore, Roanoke
County would like to take the opportunity to encourage the location
at a specific site, creating the best impression of the County and
encouraging visitors to stay a while, shop, and conduct business
in our region.
Site #3 (DEIS) remains the best site ~

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
1. Administrator recommends that the County write a letter to the

for site #3 as outlined in the DEIS and stating reasons for
prefering this site.
2. Administrator recommends that the County request a meeting
with the Southeast Regional Director to express interest and
preference .

RECREATION FACILITY DEVELOPMENT
VISITOR CENTER SITES
The need for a visitor center to serve the
Roanoke Valley has long been recognized by
the Blue Ridge Parkway. The purpose of the
center would be to orient visitors on the Blue
Ridge Parkway to the Roanoke area. Now
that the development of a Roanoke River
Parkway is being considered, it is logical to
include a visitor center as a related action.
The location would depend on the park road
alignment selected, and five sites are being
evaluated.
would range from $7.5 million (site 3) to $10
million (site 5). All parkway facilities and
programs would be accessible to special
populations.
Site 1. Site 1 is in Vinton, on the north side
of the Roanoke River. The site is on land
known as the MacDonald farm, and the ter-
rain is rolling pasture. A visitor center would
not be visible to motorists on either the Blue
Ridge Parkway or the Roanoke River Park-
way. This site does not offer views of the
Roanoke River gorge.
The visitor center would provide information
about recreational opportunities available
throughout the region. Interpretive displays
would describe the significance of the natural
water gap, historic migration and settlement
routes, and the history of the area as a
transportation hub, including the role of
railroads.
The 11,000-square-foot center would house a
150-seat auditorium for audiovisual media,
exhibit space, administrative offices, and
restrooms. An outdoor program area and a
nature trail would also be developed, along
with picnic areas and parking (200 cars).
Of the five locations that have been identi-
fied, three are north of the Roanoke River
and would be most suitable for road
alignment 2; the other two are south of the
river and would work best with alignment 1
or 3. Access to the visitor center would be by
way of a connector road between the Blue
Ridge and Roanoke River parkways (see
Visitor Center Site Conceptual Sketches).
Under the no-action alternative the general
management plan for the Blue Ridge Park-
way would consider the development of a
Roanoke Valley visitor center. Site 2 lies
partially within the present Blue Ridge
Parkway boundary.
Regardless of which site was selected, mea-
sures to improve access, post signs, and
reduce local road impacts would be deter-
mined in the final design. Construction costs
Site 2. The second site is also on the north
side of the Roanoke River and just south and
east of the Btue Ridge Parkway, so a visitor
center here would be clearly visible to
motorists on the Blue Ridge Parkway. This is
a small site on the Hammond farm, and it is
partially owned by the National Park Service.
The site is on the northwest side of a small
hill, and there are no views toward the
Roanoke River gorge.
Site 3 -Proposed Action. Site 3 is entirely
on the Hammond farm, on the south side of
a hill. It affords good views of the Roanoke
Valley's rolling landscape and the river gorge.
Because of the topography, a visitor center at
this location, even though it is near site 2,
would not be visible from the Blue Ridge
Parkway.
Site 4. The fourth site is in a relatively small
wooded area on the south side of the Roa-
noke River. It is next to an operating salvage
yard just east of the Blue Ridge Parkway,
and the visitor center would be visible from
that parkway. The Roanoke River Parkway
would be north of this site, but the topo-
graphy would block views of the visitor center
because of the topography. There would be
no vistas toward the Roanoke River gorge.
Constructing a connector road and visitor
center at this site would require the existing
Virginia 618 underpass at the Blue Ridge
Parkway to be rebuilt to provide room for the
connector road interchange.
20
Site 5. The fifth site is in the currently
operating regional landfill on the south side
of the Roanoke River. This landfill is
scheduled to be closed in mid 1992, although
it may be continued on an interim basis until
another landfill site is found. In that case
visitor center development would have to be
postponed until the landfill operation ceased.
The visitor center site and parking area are
on astable portion of the landfill, but in
accordance with U.S. Department of the
interior policy, the landfill property would have
to be surveyed to document the absence of
hazardous substances before it could be
transferred to the National Park Service.
This is a spacious site that offers panoramic
views; however, the site would have to be
recontoured. Following reclamation, the
surrounding terrain would be open and rolling.
ADDITIONAL FACILITY DEVELOPMENT
The following proposed recreational improve-
ments are conceptual, and their imple-
mentation would depend on the perceived
need and demand for additional recreational
opportunities as the river parkway was
developed. All proposed facilities would be for
day use and would be provided for picnicking,
fishing, kayaking and canoeing; overlooks and
waysides would also be developed along the
parkway. Many proposed improvements, such
as river access for fishing and picnicking,
would formalize existing uses.
The initial phases for facility development
would be the visitor center, the western and
eastern termini, and the Back Creek area
(see Potential Recreation Sites map). Before
construction was begun, specific site planning
would be done to detail exact locations and
capacities of proposed facilities.
The western terminus would provide a picnic
area, interpretive exhibits, trailhead, a physical
exercise/fitness course, a parking area, and
comfort stations. Under alternative 1 the
western terminus would be in the city of
Roanoke near the regional sewage treatment
plant; under altematives 2 and 3 it would be
at the former Vinton landfill site.
~- l
Recreation Facility Development
The eastern terminus would be either at the
Kasey-Payne farmstead on the north side of
the river (altematives 1 and 2j or at the
Amos-Richardson farmsteads on the south
side of the river (alternative 3). The historic
structures would be adaptively used, and
interpretive programs, a nature trail, a picnic
area, comfort stations, and parking areas
would be developed. Interpretive programs
would include information about the
farmsteads on either side of the river.
At Back Creek are numerous archeological
sites and two potentially significant historic
structures. These sites relate primarily to
historic and prehistoric routes used by Indians
and early settlers during the 1700s and
1800s, thus presenting an opportunity to
interpret early settlement. Fishing access
would formalize an existing access.
Potential locations for wayside exhibits, which
would be similar to those along the Blue
Ridge Parkway, are at the eastern and
western termini, Back Creek, and Niagara
Dam. Other vista or overlook sites would be
identified during the project design phase.
A hiking trail system is proposed along both
sides of the river, roughly paralleling the park
road alignment. Pedestrian bridges would be
integrated into new bridges across the river.
The potential for connections to a Tinker
Creek greenway and historic district, as well
as to the city of Roanoke's flood control and
bikeway path system, have also been identi-
fied (see the Potential Trail Corridors map).
Because of the steep topography within the
river gorge, bicycling would be accommo-
dated along the roadway pavement, similar
to what occurs on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Depending on water quality, water-based
recreation might be developed in the future.
River recreation would be highly seasonal
because of changing water levels. A ca-
noe/kayak put-in point would be provided at
Tinker Creek, with a takeout just above
Niagara Dam. All other river access would be
concentrated between Niagara Dam .and
Hardy Ford. Major put-in points would be east
of the Blue Ridge Parkway bridge and at the
Hardy Ford state boat ramp. Powerboat tours

Acceptance of $3,000 Grant and Appropriation to
the School Board
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
BACKGROUND: The Virginia Department of Education has awarded the
school board a grant of $3,000 to participate in an Action Plan
2000. Action Plan 2000 is a program designed to improve the
delivery of career guidance, counseling and instruction to
students in grades 6-12 that will motivate students to higher
achievement levels and promote appropriate career decisions. The
grant will be used to fund substitutes for teachers participating

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: February 12, 1991
AGENDA ITEM: Authorization to reimburse Botetourt County for
industrial access road at Bonsack Industrial
Park
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'SOCOMMENTS:
/~~.~wv~
BACKGROUND'
The Commonwealth Transportation Board provided the bonds for the
Bonsack Industrial Park access road. They require that a qualifying
industry locate in an industrial park in order to receive these
funds. The state determined that Tweeds, located in the park, did
not meet the criteria for industrial access funds, and Botetourt
County assumed the responsibility for funding of the road until a
qualifying industry could be found. The contract establishing the
joint industrial park provided that Roanoke County would reimburse
Botetourt County half of the cost if a qualifying industry did not
locate in the park.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION
Arkay Packaging had chosen to locate in the Bonsack Industrial Park
and this industry met the requirements for state funding of the
industrial access road. However, due to economic conditions, they
have decided not to begin construction on the site. As a result,
the Virginia Department of Transportation has requested
reimbursement of the costs of the project. The total cost of the
access road is $261,354.99, of which Roanoke County's share is
$130,677.49.
Should a qualifying industry locate in the industrial park within
the next year, the state will reimburse Roanoke County and
Botetourt County for the access road.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total cost to Roanoke County is $130,677.49. $64,615 is
available in the Economic Development Budget, and the balance is
-~
-~
available from the remaining funds that were set aside to cover
consolidation costs.
RECOMMENDATION•
Staff recommends that the Board authorize the payment of
$130,677.49 to Botetourt County to cover Roanoke County's share of
the industrial access road project, and that funds be allocated
from the Economic Development Budget ($64,614) and the
Consolidation Account ($66,062.49)

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANORE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANORE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: February 12, 1991
AGENDA ITEM: To vacate a 20 foot Water Line Easement as shown on
the Subdivision Plat for the Estate of William Daniel Burris, Sr.
and Frank R. and Mary Elizabeth Radford, recorded in Plat Book 11,
Page 155, situated in the Windsor Hills Magisterial District.
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The petitioners, Mr. Frank R. and Mary Elizabeth Radford,
Radford and Associates, are requesting the Board of Supervisors to
vacate approximately 270 feet of an existing 20 foot Water Line
Easement, by Ordinance, in order to remove an encumbrance on their
property.
BACKGROUND
The petitioners have made application for a building permit
which would allow the construction of a 32 unit apartment building
on the property designated as Tax Map Parcel No. 76.07-2-52. The
existing location of the Water Line Easement restricts the use and
development of this site.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION
The Roanoke County staff is requesting that the described 20
foot Water Line Easement, as shown on the attached map, be vacated
in accordance with Chapter 11, Title 15.1-482 (b), Code of
Virginia, 1950, as amended, by the adoption of the attached
Ordinance.
The Water Line Easement was initially created to enhance the
fire protection to the Heather Park development.
Since the Developers have changed the Site Plan and reduced
the number of apartment buildings, from three (3) to one (1) on the
site, it has been determined that the existing fire service is
~~
adequate to meet Roanoke County requirements.
The Departments of Engineering and Utility have no objections
to the proposed vacation.
First Reading of the proposed Ordinance is to be held on
February 12, 1991; Public Hearing and Second Reading is scheduled
for February 26, 1991.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The County staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors
adopt the proposed Ordinance to vacate the referenced Water Line
Easement and instruct the County Attorney to prepare the necessary
Ordinance.

AGENDA ITEM: ORDINANCE AMENDING AND READOPTING ARTICLE III.
PARKING, OF CHAPTER 12, MOTOR VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC,
OF THE ROANOKE COUNTY CODE
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY'
This recodification of the county's parking ordinance stiffens
the penalties for all parking violations, most significantly for
handicapped parking, to increase compliance and pay for the cost of
administration. The changes also reflect the transfer of responsi-
bility for enforcement to the county's Police Department
BACKGROUND'
Over the past year or more, county government has received an
increasing number of complaints over violations of handicapped
parking spaces, fire lanes and vehicles being parked on county
streets and roads for extended periods of time. With the creation
of the Roanoke County Police Department, it appears logical to
place the primary responsibility for enforcement and collection of
parking violations with the Police Department, except for parking
around the county courthouse which will remain the responsibility
of the Office of the Sheriff. Recent changes to the Code of
Virginia strengthened the authority of Roanoke County to regulate
parking generally on county streets and roads and to impound or
immobilize vehicles which have accumulated a significant number of
unpaid traffic tickets.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
One of the primary purposes of the proposed amendments to the
county's parking ordinance is to bring its application and
penalties more into line with provisions in Roanoke City. This is
reflective of the amendment to § 46.1-1220 in 1989 to permit
"regulation of parking within [Roanoke County's] limits" as in all
cities and towns and many counties. Sections 12-52 and 12-54 set
forth specific categories and areas in which parking is prohibited.
Sec 12-53 continues the prohibition against parking in fire lanes
authorized by the Statewide Fire Prevention Code and now contained
1
'~
in Sec. 12-60. The County Administrator is given authority in Sec.
12-50 to establish other parking regulations without the necessity
of obtaining formal Board action provided certain procedural and
notice provisions are complied with.
The penalty for a violation of a handicapped parking zone is
raised to $50.00 to mirror the city's penalty in response to
complaints from interested citizens and organizations. The basic
parking penalty is raised to $15.00 to reflect the increased paper-
work cost to the Police Department and the Treasurer's Office in
handling an increasing volume of parking tickets. The procedures
for collecting parking ticket fees have been amended to place the
responsibility with the Police Department and to grant them the
powers authorized by § 46.1-1216 to impound or immobilize vehicles
with three or more unpaid parking tickets.
Responsibility for enforcing this ordinance on the courthouse
parking lot will remain with the Sheriff of Roanoke County due to
his proximity to the situation. The County Administrator is granted
the authority to establish regulations for parking at the court-
house.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the adoption of the proposed amendments and
reenactment of these portions of the Roanoke County Code.

COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: February 12, 1991
AGENDA ITEM: ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 12-34 OF THE ROANOKE
COUNTY CODE TO INCREASE THE PERMISSIBLE MAXIMUM
PENALTY FOR VIOLATIONS
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: D~~
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY'
This amendment increases the maximum fine which a judge may
impose for failure to obtain a county vehicle decal to $100.00.
BACKGROUND'
The Police Department and the Commonwealth Attorney's Office
continue to observe situations in which county residents are
willing to risk a $20.00 fine (and costs) for violation of Sec. 12-
34 rather than pay the personal property tax which may amount to
several hundred dollars. As a result of changes made by the 1990
General Assembly increasing the maximum penalties for misdemeanors,
a local decal ordinance may provide for up to a $250.00 fine for
violations.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
The Commonwealth Attorney's Office has recommended an increase
in the fine which a judge might impose for violation of the
county's vehicle decal ordinance to $100.00. This would permit the
prosecutor and the judge added flexibility to deal with flagrant
instances of refusal to pay personal property taxes and obtain a
decal. Other jurisdictions around the state, including Richmond
City, have noted increased compliance as a result of a more
substantial maximum fine and increased enforcement.
ALTERNATIVES'
Leave Sec. 12-34 as it now reads with a maximum fine of $20.00
for failure to obtain and display a county vehicle decal.
Amend Sec. 12-34 to provide judges with the discretion to
impose a fine of up to $100.00, and not less than $20.00 for
failure to obtain and display a county vehicle decal.

ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 12-34 OF
THE ROANOKE COUNTY CODE TO INCREASE THE PERMISSIBLE
MAXIMUM PENALTY FOR VIOLATIONS
WHEREAS residents of Roanoke County continue to evade payment
of personnel property taxes and purchase of county vehicle decals
because the fine for failure to display the county's license decal
is often small in proportion to any tax owed; and
WHEREAS the General Assembly has recently amended § 18.2-11(d)
of the Code of Virginia to increase the maximum penalty which can
be imposed by a locality for violation of a local license
ordinance.
BE IT ORDAINED by the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County,
Virginia, as follows:
1. That Section 12-34 of the Roanoke County Code entitled
"Display of decal generally" be amended and reenacted to read and
provide as follows:
Sec. 12-34. Display of decal generally.
a) A license decal issued under this article shall be
attached to and displayed on the windshield of the vehicle for
which issued in such manner as to be clearly visible.
b) It shall be unlawful for any person to operate a motor
vehicle, trailer, or semi-trailer required to be licensed under
this article on any street, highway, road, or other traveled way in
the County, unless a current license decal is displayed thereon as
required by this section. The fact that the current license tax
has been paid on such vehicle shall not bar prosecution for a
violation of this section. A violation of this section shall be
punished by a fine of not less than twenty dollars ($20.00) and not
more than one hundred dollars (5100.00)
{$~}. Any violation of this section may not be discharged by
payment of such fine except upon presentation of satisfactory
evidence that the license herein required has been obtained.
c) Each day that a vehicle is operated without a current
license decal being displayed shall be considered a seperate
offense for purposes of this section.

MEETING DATE: February 12, 1991
AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance extending the franchise of Cox Cable
Roanoke, Inc. to operate a cable television system
in Roanoke County for a period of 60 days and
providing for a 1$ increase in the franchise fee
payment
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
EXECUTIVE SUNIIKARY:
This ordinance extends the current cable television franchise
with Cox Cable Roanoke, Inc. for an additional 60 days from March
1, 1991, while the on-going negotiations for a new franchise
agreement are brought to a conclusion.
BACKGROUND•
The original fifteen (15) year franchise agreement with Cox
Cable Roanoke, Inc. which was to expire December 31, 1990, was
extended by Ordinance # 121890-17 for an additional 60 days. Active
face-to-face negotiations between the Roanoke Regional Cable
Television Committee and Cox have been in progress since mid-
November, 1990 and substantial progress has been made. While there
has been movement toward agreement on issues involving extension
policy, plant rebuild, a cable TV advisory committee and the
technical legal terms of a new cable TV franchise ordinance,
substantial issues as to term of a new franchise, franchise fee and
scope of a capital grant remain to be resolved. The negotiators
have concluded that the renewal process cannot be concluded prior
to March 1, 1991. Federal and state law preclude Cox Cable Roanoke,
Inc. from operating a cable television system in Roanoke County
without a valid franchise agreement.
The first reading of this ordinance is to be held on February
12, 1991, and the second reading and public hearing is scheduled
for February 26, 1991.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
The proposed ordinance will satisfy the requirement of federal
and state law for a legally binding franchise agreement between the
County of Roanoke and Cox Cable Roanoke, Inc. for an additional
sixty (60) day period within which time it is hoped that the
current negotiations over the terms of a franchise extension can be
successfully concluded and board approval of a new cable franchise
ordinance and agreement obtained. This extension contains a one
percent (1~) increase in the franchise fee paid by Cox Cable to the
county from the present four percent (4$) to the maximum five
percent (5$) of gross revenues permitted by the federal cable act.
Because this is the second extension granted to the current
franchise agreement and such delay works to the benefit of the
franchisee and to the detriment of the county in light of the
anticipated franchise fee in any renewal agreement, such an
increase seems prudent at this time. The other jurisdictions
involved in this process have indicated that they will also
increase their franchise fee by one percent (1$) as a condition of
this extension.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve this ordinance and permit Cox Cable Roanoke, Inc.
to continue operating its cable television franchise under the
current franchise terms.
2. Decline to adopt the ordinance and require Cox Cable
Roanoke, Inc. to suspend cable television operations until
agreement it reached upon the terms of a new franchise agreement
and such agreement is ratifies by this board and the other
participating governmental bodies.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the approval of the draft ordinance.

December 31, 1990, by Ordinance # 121890-17, but which negotiations

Crystal Creek Road was actually placed on the six year plan since the
board report stated that it was 1980.

Roanoke County Department of
Economic Development
January 1991
I. Introduction to a New Decade
The year 1990 was a successful one for Roanoke County's
economic development program. A number of significant
location decisions occurred during the year. These
reflected the advantages that the County, and the Roanoke
Valley, has as a Mid-Atlantic location between the Northeast
and Southern urban areas. Interstate 81, the Norfolk
Southern railroad and regional air service provide access
to those growing urban markets. The Port of Hampton Roads
is five hours away by road or a day's distance by rail.
Roanoke County has increased its supply of industrial sites
and offers a range of development sites and buildings. The
County has the land base of the Roanoke Valley with over
60,000 acres of developable land.
Coordination with the Roanoke Regional Partnership and
Virginia Department of Economic Development enables the
County to access industrial training resources for companies
that need to upgrade employee technical skills. The
regional labor market extends beyond the Roanoke Valley into
the Blue Ridge region and encompasses one half million
people.
Finally, Roanoke County exhibits a pro-business attitude
that enables the staff to assemble a development proposal
that includes local, state and private financial resources.
Roanoke County seeks to be a partner in industrial and
commercial development and tourism projects. This is the
pattern for the decade of the 90's established and
implemented during 1990.

II. Major Economic Development Accomplishments - 1990
• Allied Signal's announcement of its location of a $21
million Bendix Disc Brake manufacturing facility on 175
acres in Western Roanoke County after several months of
negotiation and land assemblage.
• The location of Optical Cable Corporation's 73,000 square
foot plant in Valleypointe. This project insured that
Roanoke County would be reimbursed for Valleypointe road
improvements from the Virginia Department of
Transportation's Industrial Access Program Fund.
• The re-establishment and efforts of the Roanoke County
Industrial Development Authority as a "major player" in
economic development. The Authority's legal powers and
expertise were critical elements in the County's ability
to attract and locate Allied-Signal.
• The completion of the 1989 Economic Development Strategy's
recommendation to rezone vacant agricultural and
residentially zoned industrial sites. By April 1990, 8
sites of 364 acres were rezoned. Significantly, Allied
Signal located on one of these sites.
• The announcement that Explore would begin construction of
the initial phase of several historic buildings at its site
in Eastern Roanoke County. (See Explore '94 brochure
attached.)
III. "Selling" Roanoke County
Roanoke County initiated an aggressive selling campaign during
1990 to reach potential companies that may be interested in
expanding or relocating their business. Markets in the
Northeast United States and particularly New York City, were
targeted with advertising, direct mail and staff prospect
visits.
An advertising schedule was established in conjunction with
assistance from the Department's advertising consultant, Bolt
Advertising. Placement of ads were targeted towards four
prospect magazines and six general marketing pieces, brochures
or publications. The County's effort supported the Regional
Partnership's external advertising program.
The staff updated the Community Profile, an informative data
brochure, during the year and purchased an eight minute
Quality of Life video to send with information packets in
response to inquiries.
2
Staff "person to person" selling efforts occurred on visits
to prospects on marketing trips, attendance at selected trade
shows and handling prospects that visited the Roanoke Valley.
IV. BIISINE88 DEVELOPMENT
Roanoke County embarked on an aggressive campaign during 1990
to reach companies. As a result of advertising, prospect
trips and direct mail contacts, a total of 265 inquiries were
recorded. Of these, sixty-five (65) became prospects. Table
1 sets forth the geographic sources of all inquiries and
prospects.
The Northeast and the greater New York metro area accounted
for about 1/3 of all inquiries followed by the South, the
Roanoke Valley and the Virginia/Maryland area. National
trends held true as a majority (47.7$) of all prospects were
local.
Prospect follow-up resulted in forty-six (46) prospect
contacts which resulted in eleven (il) location decisions in
Roanoke County (See Table 2). These include new projects such
as Allied-Signal's Bendix Disc Brake manufacturing facility
and Optical Cable Corporation. Retention of existing business
was highlighted by the announcement of Alcatel's $ 5 million
expansion in North Roanoke County.
Other activities locally that support business development
include staff participation in the Developers Committee of the
Regional Partnership and the Blue Ridge Small Business
Development Center Advisory Board. Close coordination is made
with area developers, commercial realtors and major landowners
to maintain a network of business contacts to pursue prospect
opportunities.

was originally created through the combined efforts and funding of
Roanoke and Botetourt Counties.
ALCATEL
Alcatel announced that it will expand its Roanoke County
optical fiber plant's capacity with up to $5 million in new
equipment and 20-25 new jobs within two years. This action was
supported and encouraged by Roanoke County staff and the Regional
Partnership.
6
O. PRODIICT DEVELOPMENT
One of the advantages of locating in Roanoke County is the
availability of developable land. The 1985 Comprehensive Plan
identified 64,000 acres of developable land in Roanoke County.
During 1989, a study by the Department of Economic Development
determined that there was a deficiency of land that was zoned
industrial and in a developable category because of flood
plain and steep topography. A report to the Board of
Supervisors resulted in a recommendation to rezone potential
sites from an agricultural or residential category to
industrial. During 1990, sites totalling 364 acres were
rezoned by the Board of Supervisors . This gave Roanoke County
a total of 18 industrial sites of 636 acres to market. (See
Table 3)
Additionally, Roanoke County. has contributed to "product"
development by financially participating in the development
of industrial sites as shown on Table 4. During 1990, Roanoke
County participated in the expansion of Commonwealth Drive
from Southwest Industrial Park into an adjacent 35 acre tract.
One company (Carlen Controls) has a building under.construc-
tion and two other sites have been sold. (VDOT and Virginia
Construction Supply.)
Roanoke County's existing building inventory is limited to one
vacant 40,000 square foot industrial building and several
smaller spaces. Only one 1990 location decision used existing
warehouse space.

VI. COMMERCIAL AND INDQSTRIAL BIIILDINGS
One measure of the effectiveness of local economic development
is the construction of new commercial and industrial buildings
in Roanoke County. New construction, building expansions and
interior remodeling projects contribute to the tax base and are
indications of the health of the local economy. Forty-five (45)
new projects were tracked in Roanoke County totalling 841,970
square feet. Industrial development dominated the scene with 19
projects of 501,555 square feet. By the end of 1990, all but
35,755 square feet was either completed or under construction.
(See Table 5)
Two of the new projects (Optical Cable Corporation and Dibert
Valve) located at Valleypointe. Six projects Brumfield
(addition), Carlen Controls, Gorman Howell spec building,
Southeastern Optical, Corrugated Container (addition) and
Westwind located in Southwest Industrial Park.
Office construction is the second largest category of new
construction projects having 13 projects totaling 283,902 square
feet. Eight (8) of the projects were in the North County area;
along major arteries; Peters Creek, Williamson Road and
Plantation Road. The other 5 were located in Southwest Roanoke
County.
Commercial and retail development generally followed the same
north and south location pattern but were less than 50,000
square feet total. Additions and remodeling projects were a
majority of the projects tracked.
The 1990 data compares with 48 projects of 1,046,511 square feet
in 1989. Industrial projects during 1990 increased about 50~
while new office construction was about 40$ of 1989. New
commercial/retail was about 45$ of 1989 as well.

VII. E%ISTING BIISINE88 AND INDIISTRY RETENTION
National figures quoted by economic developers indicate that
between 50-75~ of all the new jobs in a community come from within.
During 1990, the County's ongoing "existing industry" program
intensified with the hiring of an economic development specialist
who was devoted to day-to-day problem solving and assistance to
existing business and industry. These regular duties include:
• A visitation program to visit the Chief Executive Officers or
managers of major employers to determine the economic health
of the company, its products and markets, satisfaction with
County services and opportunities for County assistance and/or
business expansion.
• Recognition program for major employers who expand their
facilities, construct a new building or increase employment.
• Assistance to local companies by serving as an "ombudsman"
during the plan review and building permit process. This
activity insures that local companies understand the costs,
procedures and alternatives through development review
process.
• Maintenance of a data base on existing business and industry,
labor market trends, state and local taxes, industrial sites
and buildings and local, state and Federal programs that would
assist business.
• Liaison to the Explore project to keep both the staff and
Board of Supervisors advised of project activity.
• Assistance with special projects, such as the D-Day Memorial
planning group.
VIII. TOOLS FOR COIINTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Obviously, the existence of a trained and motivated professional
staff, supported by adequate funding is the initial requirements
for Roanoke County's economic development program. The
availability of a "product" to sell, particularly ready-to-go
industrial sites and vacant industrial buildings has improved in
Roanoke County, but still needs attention in the near future.
During 1990, several other actions were implemented to assist
economic development in Roanoke County.
• Adoption of the Public-Private Partnership Policy to assist
manufacturing companies to either expand or locate in the
County by funding either all or a portion of certain public
improvements (water and sewer connections and extensions and
roads.)
• Use of the Roanoke County Industrial Development Authority to
secure options on several tracts and to seek rezoning of a
portion of the land so that Allied-Signal could locate its $21
million Bendix Disc Brake Manufacturing Facility.
13
Formation of the Blue Ridge Small Business Development Center
(BRSBDC) to serve needs of expanding small business in the
region. Confidential counseling available for companies with
financial marketing or management concerns. Roanoke County
economic development staff serves on the BRSBDC's Advisory
Board.
An enhanced working relationship with the Regional Partnership
has strengthened prospect marketing efforts.
Support for the Roanoke area schools "2 + 2" project in
automated manufacturing technology resulted in the development
of curriculum for the schools and the receipt of a $25,000
grant from Gardner Denver Corporation.
IB. TOIIRISM
Roanoke County's efforts in tourism activities are centered on
involvement with the Roanoke Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau.
This regional organization seeks to promote the Roanoke Valley as
a destination for conventions and tourists. Roanoke County
contributed $25,000 towards the operations of the Bureau and an
additional $25,000 to support the first annual Virginia State Games
(held in Roanoke).
The Convention and Visitors Bureau was organized during late 1989
and fully staffed during. 1990. The involvement of the Bureau's
Visitor's Information Center and offices into a location on the
City Market has located the organization in one central place.
Marketing efforts included a new logo, advertising, and a sponsored
program for travel writers visiting the Roanoke Valley. A
membership campaign to secure new private sector contributions was
initiated. The Bureau has an active volunteer program and
excellent relations with the Valley's lodging industry.
Bureau initiatives to support the development of a new convention
center complex in downtown Roanoke are ongoing. The convention
center and the Explore project in Southeast Roanoke County are
innovative proposals to secure conventions and tourism destination
travel for the future of the Roanoke Valley.
7C. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 1991 AND BEYOND.
The Roanoke County economic development staff has several program
goals for 1991. In these times of national economic downturn and
budget cuts in Virginia, prospect leads have decreased. Staff will
devote time to accomplish the following:
Planning for future prospect needs by assisting the County
Planning and Zoning staff in updating the 1985 Comprehensive
Plan and redrafting the commercial and industrial district
sections of the Zoning Ordinance. Areas for industrial and
commercial growth are being reviewed. Water supply and
14
landfill plans are proceeding toward construction in Western
Roanoke County. These improvements; combined with the recent
Allied-Signal/Bendix location will enhance Western Roanoke
County for economic development. Planning to make this occur
should be done now to identify potential industrial sites for
the future.
Financial resources will be identified through the use of
existing state and federal programs, and new programs
developed through the banks and regional groups. The
Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) provides opportunities for
bank participation in community development projects that
benefit low and moderate income citizens and meet the credit
needs of a small business. The challenge for 1990 is to
design creative financing to meet the needs of existing County
businesses and prospects seeking to locate here.
• The implementation of the Explore Project as an economic
development project is being. monitored by Roanoke County.
Staff assistance to the project is provided to represent area
citizens and to assist in planning for public facility needs.
• Identify potential industrial and commercial sites for
development and to influence the planning and implementation
process regarding decisions (placement of) on water and sewer
and road improvements.

ITEM NUMBER
AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: February 12, 1991
SUBJECT: Report on joint Botetourt County - Roanoke County
regional water system concept study.
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Roanoke County and Botetourt County recently hired Hayes, Seay,
Mattern and Mattern to study a proposed regional water system
utilizing the James River. Hayes, Seay has prepared a draft
report, and will work with staff to finalize it shortly.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
Several months ago, the Botetourt County Administrator suggested
that the two Counties investigate the possibility of a joint water
system, utilizing the James River. Although this was discussed
during the preliminary planning for the Spring Hollow Reservoir,
we agreed to look at it again as a cooperative project.
The preliminary results from Hayes, Seay Mattern and Mattern show
that withdrawing water from the river would not be reliable during
time of drought. Therefore, the project would need to include a
side stream storage reservoir or an upstream dam. Either of these
would make the project cost at least as much as Spring Hollow.
Additionally, a variety of permits would be required and it would
be a number of years before construction could start.
While the James River continues to be a possible source of water
for Botetourt County, I believe that it can only be a component of
a larger system for the Roanoke Valley. We need additional sources
of water immediately, and Spring Hollow Reservoir will provide that
much sooner than any use of the James. Botetourt County should
continue looking at this option, with the possibility that Roanoke
County can join in the effort sometime in the future.
FISCAL IMPACT: None at this time.
RECOMMENDATION: No action required at this time.

BOTETOURT & ROANOKE COUNTIES
REGIONAL WATER SYSTEM
CONCEPT STUDY
JANUARY 1991
This report examines the feasibility of withdrawing water from the upper James
River near Buchanan and treating it to potable water standards to meet an
assumed 24-mgd demand by Roanoke and Botetourt Counties. The proposed system
concept includes a raw-water intake, water treatment plant located near
Buchanan, finished-water pumping, and transmission pipeline to the Botetourt-
Roanoke County line at Hollins.
Demand
The average daily water demand of Botetourt and Roanoke Counties is estimated
to be 23.1 mgd in the year 2050. Botetourt County accounts for approximately
14 to 21% of this demand through the planning period. These estimates were
provided by Botetourt County Public Works Department and the Roanoke County
Department of Development and Public Facilities and are based on population
projections and an average per capita demand of 150 gallons per day.
Water Quality
~:
Water quality of the upper James River near Buchanan is generally good. Major
upstream discharges are:
1
-y
1. Clifton Forge Sewage Treatment Plant, approximately 36 miles
upstream
2. Hercules, Covington Wastewater Treatment Plant, approximately 46
miles upstream
3. Westvaco Bleached Board Division Wastewater Treatment Plant,
approximately 46 miles upstream
In the last few years, the most significant measurable impact of these
upstream discharges is the brown color from Westvaco's discharge, which can be
detected downstream as far as Buchanan. Occasional fecal coliform violations
are detected; these are considered a result of nonpoint sources, particularly
agricultural runoff. No toxic metals criteria in the main stem of the James
River were exceeded in the latest monitoring period, July 1985 to June 1987
Water Quantity Available from the James River
Two criteria are used in determining the amount of water available for
withdrawal from afree-flowing stream. First, for a "simple intake," which
withdraws water directly from the stream, the safe yield is the minimum
withdrawal rate available during one day and recurring every 30 years (30-year
- 1-day low flow) as defined by the Virginia Department of Health.2 Second,
is the instream flow-by necessary to protect the environment and fish habitat.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has=developed a program of instream studies
(Instream Flow and Incremental Methodology Studies, IFIM) that determines the
relationship between stream flow and fish species habitat suitability.3 In
2
/~_,,f
the case of Botetourt and Roanoke Counties, the second criteria will most
probably govern.
Water flow records have been maintained for the James River at Buchanan from
February 1898 to the present day.4 These records show the average discharge
of the James River at Buchanan is 2478 cfs (1602 mgd). The minimum flow was
202 cfs (134 mgd), recorded on September 8, 1966.5 A less severe minimum flow
of 207 cfs was recorded on September 12, 1966. These flows would be the 30-
year - 1-day low flows. However, this will not determine the size or type of
intake.
A preliminary estimate of the minimum river flow-by required to protect fish
habitat is 20 percent of the average discharge, or 496 cfs based on a previous
study of the James River,6 and this will determine the size and type of
intake. The discharge records for the James River at Buchanan mentioned above
show that flows fall below this threshold almost every year in October. As a
recent example, the U.S.G.S. Water Resources Data for water year 1986 shows 14
days in October where flows were below the 496 cts threshold.
Based on the above information, a simple intake withdrawal would probably be
limited to flow available above the 20go average daily flow (496 cfs), and
during periods where flow was less than 20%, no stream withdrawals would be
allowed. To have a water supply withdrawal then, a complex intake, one used
in conjunction with a reservoir, or a method to maintain James River flow
above the 209e threshold at all times would be needed. Possible sources or
methods include a side-stream storage reservoir to augment river flows, an
3
M-~
off-stream storage reservoir, or an upstream dam (new or the existing
Gathright Dam) that would maintain constant downstream flows.
Other Considerations
Besides a raw-water intake and a treatment plant, the transfer of finished
water to Roanoke County would require approximately 15 miles of transmission
pipeline. Using Interstate I-81 right-of-way for a water transmission
pipeline is not acceptable. However, using the highway right-of-way along
State Route 11 is feasible. The state (VDOT) does not anticipate widening or
adjusting Route 11 in the future, thus making this routing logical.
Because of the large elevation differential and line length, an intermediate
storage tank and booster pump station should be planned possibly near Route
606. A second storage tank could be placed at the maximum elevation near the
Tinker Mountain weigh station.
The estimated cost of the proposed facilities is presented in the Appendix A.
4
sv~ _ y
Chesapeake Bav Preservation Act Effects
The Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act, while not directly affecting areas
outside Tidewater Virginia or above the fall line, may have some influence on
water withdrawal in the upper James River. The Chesapeake Bay Local
Assistance Department may have a reviewing function in the process of
obtaining a Virginia Water Protection Permit for this water system.
~a

~~ /
Additional Issues
This study has generated the following issues that will need to be
addressed and resolved before the feasibility of the proposed Botetourt -
Roanoke County Water System can be determined:
1. Withdrawing water from the James River for use in the populated areas of
Roanoke County will, in effect, constitute an interbasin transfer of
water. This concept is discouraged by regulatory agencies, but has been
approved for certain localities.
2. Downstream users, such as Lynchburg and Richmond, may oppose water
withdrawal from the James River at Buchanan from the standpoint that it
will limit their available water.
3. Permitting will be involved and may require years to complete. A list
of currently required permits is in the Appendix B.
4. Results and implications of the current Henrico County IFIM study for
their intake at Richmond need to be assessed, once the study is
complete.
5. Two major reservoirs are located on tributaries to the James River above
the proposed intake location: Lake Moomaw (Gathright Dam) and the ,.
pumped-storage Virginia Power Project. An in-depth analysis and input
from the Corps of EngineersT and Virginia Power would be required to
6
/vJ _ `7/
determine the effects these two reservoirs could have on James River
flows at the proposed intake.
6. If a complex intake, a river intake in conjunction with a side-stream
storage reservoir, were located at the proposed intake location, a
detailed study would be required to size the intake, size the reservoir,
locate the reservoir, and determine the type of dam to use.
Conclusions
The basic concept of using water from the upper James River to provide
potable water for Roanoke and Botetourt Counties has merit, especially if
doing so is considered as an element of a multi-source Regional Supply System
and if consideration is given to incorporating an alternate source or
augmentation to compensate for period of low river flows. The permitting
phase will be difficult, especially if this proposed water system were
approached only as a simple intake withdrawal.

BOTETOURT & ROANOKE COUNTIES
REGIONAL WATER SYSTEM
CONCEPT STUDY
JANUARY 1991
This report examines the feasibility of withdrawing water from the upper James
River near Buchanan and treating it to potable water standards to meet an
assumed 24-mgd demand by Roanoke and Botetourt Counties. The proposed system
concept includes a raw-water intake, water treatment plant located near
Buchanan, finished-water pumping, and transmission pipeline to the Botetourt-
Roanoke County line at Hollins.
Demand
The average daily water demand of Botetourt and Roanoke Counties is estimated
to be 23.1 mgd in the year 2050. Botetourt County accounts for approximately
14 to 21% of this demand through the planning period. These estimates were
provided by Botetourt County Public Works Department and the Roanoke County
Department of Development and Public Facilities and are based on population
projections and an average per capita demand of 150 gallons per day.
Water Quality
Water quality of the upper James River near Buchanan is generally good. Major
upstream discharges are:
1
1. Clifton Forge Sewage Treatment Plant, approximately 36 miles
upstream
2. Hercules, Covington Wastewater Treatment Plant, approximately 46
miles upstream
3. Westvaco Bleached Board Division Wastewater Treatment Plant,
approximately 46 miles upstream
In the last few years, the most significant measurable impact of these
upstream discharges is the brown color from Westvaco's discharge, which can be
detected downstream as far as Buchanan. Occasional fecal coliform violations
are detected; these are considered a result of nonpoint sources, particularly
agricultural runoff. No toxic metals criteria in the main stem of the James
River were exceeded in the latest monitoring period, July 1985 to June 1987.
Water Ouantitv Available from the James River
Two criteria are used in determining the amount of water available for
withdrawal from afree-flowing stream. First, for a "simple intake," which
withdraws water directly from the stream, the safe yield is the minimum
withdrawal rate available during one day and recurring every 30 years (30-year
- 1-day low flow) as defined by the Virginia Department of Health.2 Second,
is the instream flow-by necessary to protect the environment and fish habitat.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has developed a program of instream studies
(Instream Flow and Incremental Methodology Studies, IFIM) that determines the
relationship between stream flow and fish species habitat suitability.3 In
2
the case of Botetourt and Roanoke Counties, the second criteria will most
probably govern.
Water flow records have been maintained for the James River at Buchanan from
February 1898 to the present day.4 These records show the average discharge
of the James River at Buchanan is 2478 cfs (1602 mgd). The minimum flow was
202 cfs (134 mgd), recorded on September 8, 1966.5 A less severe minimum flow
of 207 cfs was recorded on September 12, 1966. These flows would be the 30-
year - 1-day low flows. However, this will not determine the size or type of
intake.
A preliminary estimate of the minimum river flow-by required to protect fish
habitat is 20 percent of the average discharge, or 496 cfs based on a previous
study of the James River,6 and this will determine the size and type of
intake. .The discharge records for the James River at Buchanan mentioned above
show that flows fall below this threshold almost every year in October. As a
recent example, the U.S.G.S. Water Resources Data for water year 1986 shows 14
days in October where flows were below the 496 cts threshold.
Based on the above information, a simple intake withdrawal would probably be
limited to flow available above the 20~o average daily flow (496 cfs), and
during periods where flow was less than 20~., no stream withdrawals would be
allowed. To have a water supply withdrawal then, a complex intake, one used
in conjunction with a reservoir, or a method to maintain James River flow
above the 20~ threshold at all times would be needed. Possible sources or
methods include a side-stream storage reservoir to augment .river flows, an
3
off-stream storage reservoir, or an upstream dam (new or the existing
Gathright Dam) that would maintain constant downstream flows.
Other Considerations
Besides a raw-water intake and a treatment plant, the transfer of finished
water to Roanoke County would require approximately 15 miles of transmission
pipeline. Using Interstate I-81 right-of-way for a water transmission
pipeline is not acceptable. However, using the highway right-of-way along
State Route 11 is feasible. The state (VDOT) does not anticipate widening or
adjusting Route 11 in the future, thus making this routing logical.
Because of the large elevation differential and line length, an intermediate
storage tank and booster pump station should be planned possibly near Route
606. A second storage tank could be placed at the maximum elevation near the
Tinker Mountain weigh station.
The estimated cost of the proposed facilities is presented in the Appendix A.
4
Chesapeake Bav Preservation Act Effects
The Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act, while not directly affecting areas
outside Tidewater Virginia or above the fall line, may have some influence on
water withdrawal in the upper James River. The Chesapeake Bay Local
Assistance Department may have a reviewing function in the process of
obtaining a Virginia Water Protection Permit for this water system.
5
Additional Issues
This study has generated the following issues that will need to be
addressed and resolved before the feasibility of the proposed Botetourt -
Roanoke County Water System can be determined:
1. Withdrawing water from the James River for use in the populated areas of
Roanoke County will, in effect, constitute an interbasin transfer of
water. This concept is discouraged by regulatory agencies, but has been
approved for certain localities.
2. Downstream users, such as Lynchburg and Richmond, may oppose water
withdrawal from the James River at Buchanan from the standpoint that it
will limit their available water.
3. Permitting will be involved and may require years to complete. A list
of currently required permits is in the Appendix B.
4. Results and implications of the current Henrico County IFIM study for
their intake at Richmond need to be assessed, once the study is
complete.
5. Two major reservoirs are located on tributaries to the James River above
the proposed intake location: Lake Moomaw (Gathright Dam) and the
pumped-storage Virginia Power Project. An in-depth analysis and input
from-the Corps of EngineersT and Virginia Power would be required to
6
determine the effects these two reservoirs could have on James River
flows at the proposed intake.
6. If a complex intake, a river intake in conjunction with a side-stream
storage reservoir, were located at the proposed intake location, a
detailed study would be required to size the intake, size the reservoir,
locate the reservoir, and determine the type of dam to use.
Conclusions
The basic concept of using water from the upper James River to provide
potable water for Roanoke and Botetourt Counties has merit, especially if
doing so is considered as an element of a multi-source Regional Supply System
and if consideration is given to incorporating an alternate source or
augmentation to compensate for period of low river flows. The permitting
phase will be difficult, especially if this proposed water system were
approached only as a simple intake withdrawal.

As you are aware, the city of Roanoke recently adopted an
ordinance increasing the fine to fifty dollars for illegally
parking in spaces reserved for the handicapped.
This illegal parking in handicapped spaces is of concern to most
people in the Valley, thus our Committee is seeking the coopera-
tion of the other Valley governments in increasing the fine to
fifty dollars in their respective Iocalities if they have not
already done so. The State Code provides for a maximum fine of
one hundred dollars.
Hopefully, this matter may be brought before the Roanoke County
Board of Supervisors for appropriate and positive action.
Thank you for your consideration.

Subject: Regional Airport Commission
At the 1/22/91 Board meeting, it was requested that Board members
submit suggested qualification requirements for a potential citizen
member of the Regional Airport Commission. Here are my thoughts:
1. A resident of Roanoke County for at least three years.
2. A person with business experience.
3. A person with a demonstrated interest in the airport.
4. An independent thinker.
5. A person having no direct association with an air line, fixed
base operation, or other entity that routinely interacts with the
Airport Commission or staff.
I look forward to seeing suggestions from the other Board members.

QUALIFICATIONS FOR SERVING ON THE AIRPORT COMMISSION
I would like to make the following suggestions as to what should
be considered when appointing a person to the Airport Commission.
1. A respected Roanoke County resident with business
experience, preferably with expertise in marketing.
2. An interest in airport or transportation in general but
not presently with an airline company, a fixed space
operator or a travel agency or any other position that
would raise conflict of interest questions.
3. Preferably an experienced traveler with knowledge of
other airport operations.
4. Contacts with the travel industry outside of the Roanoke
area would be a plus.
5. A knowledge of airline operations and their methods of
operation.
6. Ideas of how to best market our product, the airport, to
the general public and business community and how to
expand our current market beyond the Roanoke Valley and
Blacksburg.
7. A person who can make sound business decisions in the
face of controversy surrounding issues.
8. A person who can work through the Airport Executive
Director without being involved in the day-to-day
decision making.
These are some of the qualifications that I believe we should
consider. There may be others that will come to mind later and I
will inform you at that time.

I would like to make sure that we recognize Black History Month at
our board meeting next week. I would appreciate the two of you
getting together and making suggestions as to how we could do that .
We have several black individuals who serve on County boards, such
as Mr. J. C. Taylor on the Board of Equalization, and Ms. Marian
Chappelle on the Planning Commission. Also there are blacks in
leadership positions in the County administration such as Gardner
Smith. We may want to see how we can recognize this event and let
me know as soon as you have some plans.
Thanks very much.

DRAFT
BOTETOURT & ROANOKE COUNTIES
REGIONAL WATER SYSTEM
CONCEPT STUDY
JANUARY 1991
This report examines the feasibility of withdrawing water from the upper James
River near Buchanan and treating it to potable water standards to meet an
assumed 24-mgd demand by Roanoke and Botetourt Counties. The proposed system
concept includes a raw-water intake, water treatment plant located near
Buchanan, finished-water pumping, and transmission pipeline to the Botetourt-
Roanoke County line at Hollins.
Demand
The average daily water demand of Botetourt and Roanoke Counties is estimated
to be 23.1 mgd in the year 2050. Botetourt County accounts for approximately
14 to 21% of this demand through the planning period. These estimates were
provided by Botetourt County Public Works Department and the Roanoke County
Department of Development and Public Facilities and are based on population
projections and an average per capita demand of 150 gallons per day.
Water Ouality
Water quality of the upper James River near Buchanan is generally good. Major
upstream discharges are:
1
1. Clifton Forge Sewage Treatment Plant, approximately 36 miles
upstream
2. Hercules, Covington Wastewater Treatment Plant, approximately 46
miles upstream
3. Westvaco Bleached Board Division Wastewater Treatment Plant,
approximately 46 miles upstream
In the last few years, the most significant measurable impact of these
upstream discharges is the brown color from Westvaco's discharge, which can be
detected downstream as far as Buchanan. Occasional fecal coliform violations
are detected; these are considered a result of nonpoint sources, particularly
agricultural runoff. No toxic metals criteria in the main stem of the James
River were exceeded in the latest monitoring period, July 1985 to June 1987
Water Quantity Available from the James River
Two criteria are used in determining the amount of water available for
withdrawal from afree-flowing stream. First, for a "simple intake," which
withdraws water directly from the stream, the safe yield is the minimum
withdrawal rate available during one day and recurring every 30 years (30-year
- 1-day low flow) as defined by the Virginia Department of Health.2 Second,
is the instream flow-by necessary to protect the environment and fish habitat.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has:developed a program of instream studies
(Instream Flow and Incremental Methodology Studies, IFIM) that determines the
relationship between stream flow and fish species habitat suitability.3 In
2
the case of Botetourt and Roanoke Counties, the second criteria will most
probably govern.
Water flow records have been maintained for the James River at Buchanan from
February 1898 to the present day.4 These records show the average discharge
of the James River at Buchanan is 2478 cfs (1602 mgd). The minimum flow was
202 cfs (134 mgd), recorded on September 8, 1966.5 A less severe minimum flow
of 207 cfs was recorded on September 12, 1966. These flows would be the 30-
year - 1-day low flows. However, this will not determine the size or type of
intake.
A preliminary estimate of the minimum river flow-by required to protect fish
habitat is 20 percent of the average discharge, or 496 cfs based on a previous
study of the James River,6 and this will determine the size and type of
intake. The discharge records for the James River at Buchanan mentioned above
show that flows fall below this threshold almost every year in October. As a
recent example, the U.S.G.S. Water Resources Data for water year 1986 shows 14
days in October where flows were below the 496 cts threshold.
Based on the above information, a simple intake withdrawal would probably be
limited to flow available above the 20~o average daily flow (496 cfs), and
during periods where flow was less than 200, no stream withdrawals would be
allowed. To have a water supply withdrawal then, a complex intake, one used
:~ in conjunction with a reservoir, or a method to maintain James River flow
above the 20go threshold at all times would be needed. Possible sources or
methods include a side-stream storage reservoir to augment river flows, an
3
off-stream storage reservoir, or an upstream dam (new or the existing
Gathright Dam) that would maintain constant downstream flows.
Other Considerations
Besides a raw-water intake and a treatment plant, the transfer of finished
water to Roanoke County would require approximately 15 miles of transmission
pipeline. Using Interstate I-81 right-of-way for a water transmission
pipeline is not acceptable. However, using the highway right-of-way along
State Route 11 is feasible. The state (VDOT) does not anticipate widening or
adjusting Route 11 in the future, thus making this routing logical.
Because of the large elevation differential and line length, an intermediate
storage tank and booster pump station should be planned possibly near Route
606. A second storage tank could be placed at the maximum elevation near the
Tinker Mountain weigh station.
The estimated cost of the proposed facilities is presented in the Appendix A.

Chesapeake Bav Preservation Act Effects
The Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act, while not directly affecting areas
outside Tidewater Virginia or above the fall line, may have some influence on
water withdrawal in the upper James River. The Chesapeake Bay Local
Assistance Department may have a reviewing function in the process of
obtaining a Virginia Water Protection Permit for this water system.

Additional Issues
This study has generated the following issues that will need to be
addressed and resolved before the feasibility of the proposed Botetourt -
Roanoke County Water System can be determined:
1. Withdrawing water from the James River for use in the populated areas of
Roanoke County will, in effect, constitute an interbasin transfer of
water. This concept is discouraged by regulatory agencies, but has been
approved for certain localities.
2. Downstream users, such as Lynchburg and Richmond, may oppose water
withdrawal from the James River at Buchanan from the standpoint that it
will limit their available water.
3. Permitting will be involved and may require years to complete. A list
of currently required permits is in the Appendix B.
4. Results and implications of the current Henrico County IFIM study for
their intake at Richmond need to be assessed, once the study is
complete.
5. Two major reservoirs are located on tributaries to the James River above
the proposed intake location: Lake Moomaw (Gathright Dam) and the
pumped-storage Virginia Power Project. An in-depth analysis and input
from the Corps of EngineersT and Virginia Power would be required to
a~
6
determine the effects these two reservoirs could have on James River
flows at the proposed intake.
6. If a complex intake, a river intake in conjunction with a side-stream
storage reservoir, were located at the proposed intake location, a
detailed study would be required to size the intake, size the reservoir,
locate the reservoir, and determine the type of dam to use.
Conclusions
The basic concept of using water from the upper James River to provide
potable water for Roanoke and Botetourt Counties has merit, especially if
doing so is considered as an element of amulti-source Regional Supply System
and if consideration is given to incorporating an alternate source or
augmentation to compensate for period of low river flows. The permitting
phase will be difficult, especially if this proposed water system were
approached only as a simple intake withdrawal.
