ITEM NUMBERS J
AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: September 8, 1992
SUBJECT: Announcement of Enhanced ISO Rating for Roanoke
County
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: ISO (Insurance Services Office, Inc)
ratings are used by various insurance companies to perform premium
calculations on properties within a jurisdiction. The best rating
is 1 and the lowest rating at 10. Generally, this rating is
reviewed by ISO Commercial Risk Services, Inc. every ten years.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: Until recently, Roanoke County's ISO
rating has been 6/9, but the County has received notification that
the rating has been reduced to 5/9. The rating is split, based on
the distance from a structure to a fire hydrant. The rating of 5
is used when property is located five road miles or less to a
responding fire station, and a hydrant exits within 1000 feet. The
rating of 9 is used for all other property.
This reduction has resulted from the following improvements
to our fire and rescue process during the past ten years:
o E-911 and 800 MHz radio system
o Additional fire stations and equipment
o Increased training standards for fire and rescue personnel
o Annual hydrant/fire apparatus and hose testing program
o Upgrading of County water supply and additional hydrants
The reduced rating will lower insurance premiums for County
residences and businesses that are located within 1000 feet of a
~' - /
hydrant, and need 3500 gallons per minute or less to extinguish a
fire.
Because of the distance involved in responding to fires where
large distances are involved, it is difficult for a County to
obtain a rating lower than 5. According to Fire Department staff,
it is possible that the County will receive additional considera-
tion when Spring Hollow Reservoir is on line, and new fire hydrants
are installed which will meet the requirements.
County citizens will be notified of the new rating through
Utility bills, which are sent to everyone receiving County water,
and instructed to call their insurance companies to determine
whether they are eligible for lower property insurance rates.
The Roanoke County Fire and Rescue Department utilizes a great
deal of staff time in maintaining the ISO rating for the County,
and worked together with staff from the Utility Department during
the recent review. The personnel from both Departments should be
commended for their outstanding work in obtaining the new rating.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: September 8, 1992
SUBJECT: Request for Adoption of the Cable TV Operating Budget
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR' S COMMENTS : - „~,,...~~~~~
~~~-c.-t~ !r
~~
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Roanoke Valley Regional Cable
Television Committee recently approved an operating budget for the
regional television studio for FY1992-93. Under the terms of the
Roanoke Regional Cable Television Committee Agreement, this budget
must be approved by the governing bodies of the three jurisdic-
tions. The agreement also provides that the City, County and Town
will fund the studio in an amount up to a maximum of one percent
of the gross revenues of Cox Cable Roanoke from each jurisdiction,
based upon such receipts for the last calendar year.
SUNIIKARY OF INFORMATION: The Roanoke Valley Regional Cable
Television Committee has approved hiring a studio manager for the
regional television studio, and the funding of a budget for
operation of the studio after the manager begins work. It is
anticipated that the manager will be available beginning November
1, and therefore the budget covers eight months of the current
fiscal year.
The Budget Subcommittee which prepared the document consists
of Reta Busher, Director of Management and Budget for Roanoke
County, Barry Key, Manager of the Office of Management and Budget
for Roanoke City, and S. Brad Corcoran, Vinton Town Manager. Their
calculations were based on discussions with the Facilities and
Equipment Subcommittee, and staff from other local government
television studios.
The total operating budget for the eight month period, as
approved by the full Committee is $52,003, plus $10,000 for
contingencies. A copy of the budget is attached. There was some
discussion by the Committee as to whether the salary offered would
~-
be sufficient to attract the type of person necessary to manage the
studio, and Mr. Corcoran then recommended that this position be
raised to a Grade 24 on the County's classification and pay plan.
This change to the salary grade was approved unanimously, as was
the budget, with the understanding that the localities would be
asked to approve the budget in total, reserving line item authority
for the Committee and the studio manager. This will allow the
flexibility which may be necessary in offering an appropriate
salary.
The Budget Subcommittee also recommended the formation of a
Studio Operations Subcommittee, consisting of the members of the
Facilities and Equipment Subcommittee, and the abolishment of the
latter subcommittee. The full committee approved this recommenda-
tion, and the new Studio Operations Subcommittee consists of
Michelle Bono, Public Information Officer for the City, Anne Marie
Green, Public Information Officer for the County, Mary Beth Layman,
Special Events Coordinator for Vinton, Jane James, Roanoke County
Schools, and David Becker, Roanoke City Schools.
FISCAL IMPACT: Based on the formula outlined above, Roanoke
County's share of the proposed $62,003 budget would be $21,148.20.
This figure is considerably less than 1~ of gross revenues, which
is $57,330. Funds are available in the General Fund Unappropriated
Fund Balance for this expenditure.
ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the proposed operating budget for the
Roanoke Valley Regional Cable Television Government Access Studio,
which will allow the jurisdictions to proceed with hiring of a
studio manager, and beginning operations of the studio.
2. Do not approve the proposed operating budget. Under the
terms of the Cable Television Agreement between the three jurisdic-
tions, this would probably result in Roanoke City and Vinton
proceeding with funding and operation of the studio alone. Both
jurisdictions have already earmarked the entire 1~ of gross
revenues for this purpose.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Alternative 1, so that Roanoke
County will have the opportunity to participate in the Government
Access Studio.

Assignment to Budget Subcommittee
A. Develop an interim budget for operations of the
government and education access studio.
8. Recommend a maximum salary amount for the Studio Manager.
C. Recommend an operational arrangement for the ongoing
supervision of the Studio Manager.
Budget Assumptions and Comments
A. The interim operating bucket expenses for the studio
during Fiscal Year 1992-93 will be funded proportionately
by the City of Roanoke, County of Roanoke and Town of
Vinton based on their respective percentage shares of
total revenues to Cox Cable from each jurisdiction for
calendar year 1991:
City of Roanoke $ 9,845,609 58.571
County of Roanoke 5,733,012 34.111
Town of Vinton 1.230.719 7=
Totals $16,809,340 100.001
This assumption for the int_ erim budget is consistent with
the funding method previously discussed by the RVRCTC for
fu.= fiscal year operating budgets, i.e. the
appropriation by each participating locality of an
equivalent amount up to a maximum of 1~ of gross revenues
of Cox Cable Roanoke from each jurisdiction for the
previous calendar year for operation of the studio. The
percentage share of expenses for each locality would be
t:~e same under ;~oth funding scenarios.
B. A ca~itai bu= will be prepared by the Studio Manager
and presented to the RVRCTC for review and approval at a
later date. Capital grant payments from Cox Cable will
be used to fund capital expenses approved in the capital
budget, as wall as professional engineering services
required for design o! the studio, video equipment and
office equipment needed in the interim. The $300,000
received to data, less the amount to be expanded for
character generator equipment plus interest earned, will
remain an undeaignated portion of the studio's fund
balance until that time.
C. The Studio Manager will be hired by November 1, 1992.
Page 2
f
D. During the period of November 1, 1992 thru June 30, 1993,
the Studio Manager will perform the following duties:
1. Conduct a needs assessment of government and
education CATV programming services desired by the
three participating localities.
2. Draft a request for proposals(RFP), advertise the RFP
and select an architectural and engineering firm to
review studio site alternatives, recommend a site,
design the studio and recommend necessary capital
expenditures to complete and properly equip the
studio site.
3. Do whatever is necessary to bring the studio on-line
by July 1, 1993.
4. Film and broadcast the official meetings of governing
bodies beginning after January 1, 1993.
5. Prepare and present to the RVRCTC by February 15,
1993 a recommended operating and capital budget for
Fiscal Year 1993-94.
E. Due to the inexperience of the Budgat Subcommittee
members regarding the various expenses necessary to
operate a studio, contacts were made with the individuals
responsible for studio operations in Blacksburg and
Franklin County to determine what types of expanses are
necessary. Many of the budget expenses recommended in
the interim budget are based on this research.
III. Recommendations
A. Interim Operating Budgat (sea Attachment)
B. The maximum salary for the Studio~Manager position should
ba fixed at $26,239, which is l0~ above-:.the market rate
for a salary grade 22 in the County~s pay and
classification plan. Tha salary range should be $23,854
to $35,311.
C. Operational Arrangement
1. A Studio Operations Subcommittee should be appointed
by the Roanoke Valley Regional Cable Television
Committee (RVRCTC). This subcommittee should ba
comprised of one staff member from each participating
governmental jurisdiction and educational system (a
total of five subcommittee members). Tha
subcommittee chairperson should serve a two year term
to be rotated among the participating localities. ,~
Page 3
~~
The Director of Management and Budget for Roanoke
County, the Manager of Management and Budget for
Roanoke City and the Town Manager for the Town of
Vinton shall serve as advisors to the subcommittee.
2. The Studio Operations Subcommittee should be charged
with responsibility for supervision of operations of
the government-and education access studio subject to
overall policy direction to be provided by the
RVRCTC.
The RVRCTC should reserve the right to approve the
annual workplan for the studio, and the operating and
capital budgets to be recommended annually by the
Studio Manager and Studio Operations Subcommittee, as
well as any amendments to the budget during the
course of the fiscal year. It is recognized that the
annual budget must ultimately be approved and funded
thru appropriations by the three governing bodies.
3. The Studio Manager should report directly to the
chairperson of the Studio Operations Subcommittee,
although the Studio Manager will serve at the will
and pleasure of the entire RVRCTC. The position
should be classified under the pay and classification
plan of the County of Roanoke, and receive fringe
benefits provided to County employees. Personnel
records for the position should be maintained by the
County of Roanoke.
4. The Budget Subcommittee should be abolished upon the
appointment of the Studio Operations Subcommittee, as
there exists the possibility of future conflict of
interest with the current subcommittee members. The
RVRCTC should also consider abolishing the Equipment
and Facilities Subcommittee and assigning the current
duties of this subcommittee to the Studio Operations
Subcommittee in the interest of making the planning
and operation of the studio as effective and
efficient as possible.
5. All necessary accounting services for the studio,
including the performance of an annual audit, should
be provided initially by Roanoke County. The
operating and capital revenue and expenses of the
studio should be accounted for as a separate fund
,,~.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANORE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANORE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: September 8, 1992
AGENDA ITEM: Request to Revise Policy for Use of the Roanoke
County Administration Center Community Room
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
BACKGROUND
On March 8, 1983, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No.
83-43 which established a policy for the use of the Roanoke County
Administration Center Community Room. On March 28, 1989, the Board
of Supervisors rescinded Resolution 83-43 and adopted a new policy
under Resolution 32889-5.b. The new policy provided more detailed
written procedures to address problems that had arisen over use of
the room and also included a fee schedule to help defray the costs
of making this facility available to the public for non-
governmental activities.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
Listed below are the current rules for use of the Community Room
Permitted use of the room in riorit order
A. Board of Supervisors - NO FEE
B. Roanoke County: Departments, Employees, Agencies, Committees
and Commissions - NO FEE
C. State and Federal Government: Officials and Agencies - NO FEE
D. Non-governmental: Civic, Cultural, Political, Religious and
Educational (Application Necessary) - $50.00 per day
There is a $10.00 per hour custodial fee after 5:00 p.m. and on
Saturday or Sunday.
Permitted Uses When A roved b the Board of Su ervisors
A. Social Gatherings (Application Necessary) - $50.00 per day
Prohibited Uses:
A. Commercial Uses
B. Fund Raising Uses
-2..
Staff has contacted other County departments and local governments
for their fee schedules and a list of those charges is attached
(ATTACHMENT A). There seems to be no consistent policy within the
County.
The Library_ meeting rooms are available for use free of charge
during the hours the libraries are open to the public: Monday -
Thursday 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Friday and Saturdays, 9:00 a.m. to
5:00 p.m. The Library prohibits use of the meeting rooms for
religious, social, fund raising or other commercial purposes.
The Parks and Recreation Department charges a minimum of $50.00 for
two hours plus a $50.00 refundable damage deposit. However, they
waive all fees for recreation organizations, but would not waive
the fee for civic and cultural organizations unless the purpose of
the meeting related specifically to parks or recreation.
The Schools have a detailed policy for use of school buildings.
Examples of charges are: (1) All school functions and PTA meetings:
no charge; (2) Civic Leagues would be charged no fee as long as the
meeting was open to the general public; but would be charged for
janitorial costs if the meeting was held other than normal hours;
(3) County political, social, and religious organizations
(Examples: Republican and Democratic Parties) are charged $50.00
plus janitorial fee, plus additional charges for use of air
conditioning, sound systems and audiovisual equipment.
Supervisor Eddy has suggested that the Community Room fee be waived
for civic, political or education groups using the facility after
normal working hours on Monday through Friday or between 8:00 a.m.
and 11:00 p.m. on Saturday or Sunday. He further recommended that
such waivers not be granted to any one organization more than four
times in any one calendar year.
The Community Room has been used extensively during the evening
hours over the past three years. Attached is a table showing the
usage (ATTACHMENT B). Several times when organizations have used
the community room, there have been instances of damage to such
things as the sound system, the rest rooms and the community room
floor. There have also been instances when County departments
have requested the use of the room for such events as community
meetings, but the room was previously reserved by another
organization. While the County has first priority, we make every
effort not to ask other organizations to change their plans. If
the current rules are relaxed, there is a greater possibility for
damage and less opportunity for the County of Roanoke to reserve
the room for its own use.
The County Attorneys Office also recommends that if the fee is
waived for civic, political and education groups, it should also be
waived for cultural and religious organizations, or the fee could
be considered discriminatory. As the Board may recall, several
years ago, the Board rescinded the waiver of Bingo and Raffle
~~
Permit fees because of its possible discriminatory impact.
However, if the Board decides to provide for a waiver, I would ask
that it be done on a case by case basis by the Board of
Supervisors.
Staff recommends that the use policy not be changed. We can recall
only two problems with the current policy in the past five years
and see no reason to change. The current policy is fair to all
organizations, consistent, nondiscriminatory and covers the actual
costs to use the Community Room. Staff further recommends
increasing the custodial fee from $10.00 to $15.00 to reflect the
actual overtime cost for janitorial services.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Keep the policy as it currently stands under resolution 32889-
5.b. A $50.00 fee would be charged for civic, cultural,
political, religious and education groups using the facility.
However, staff recommends increasing the custodial fee from
$10.00 per hour to $15.00 per hour.
2. Change the policy as Supervisor Eddy has suggested, and
authorize the Board of Supervisors to waive the $50.00 fee for
civic, political and education groups using the facility
between 6:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, or
between 8:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. on Saturday or Sunday. Such
waivers shall not be granted to any one organization more than
four times in any one calendar year. Additionally, staff
recommends increasing the custodial fee from $10.00 per hour
to $15.00 per hour.
3. Change the policy to require a $50.00 deposit for civic
cultural, political, religious and education groups. This
deposit would be returned after 30 days, less any costs for
cleaning or repair to the room or equipment. The fee may be
waived by action of the Board of Supervisors only. This is
similar to a deposit fee charged by the Parks and Recreation
Department. Increase the custodial fee from $10.00 per hour
to $15.00 per hour.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Alterative #1, that the policy remain the same.
Staff further recommends that the custodial fee be increased from
$10.00 to $15.00 per hour to reflect the actual overtime costs for
janitorial services.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION
CENTER
MEETING DATE: September 8, 1992
AGENDA ITEM: Approval of Recommendation to Implement Removal,
Remedial and Closure of Dixie Caverns Landfill
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
Since it will take several years to complete the Dixie Caverns Project, we need to go forward with staffing at this time. To
avoid delays in other engineering projects, permission is requested to reclassify one existing vacant position to meet this
need. Funds would be taken from the 5100,000 already appropriated by the Board. Because of the significance of this
project, I have put a high level engineering person in charge.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY•
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve several
actions necessary to implement the removal, remedial and closure
actions required for Dixie Caverns landfill as required by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
BACKGROUND•
On August 12, 1992 the Board of Supervisors authorized the
execution of an "Administrative Order by Consent for Removal
Action." This Removal Consent Order will address the contaminated
stream sediment and soil. The effective date of this Order is
August 28, 1992.
In September of 1992, the County will be required to execute
a Consent Decree, which will address the flyash pile. The purpose
of this action is to achieve a final, permanent remedy to this
problem.
While implementing both the Removal Consent Order and the
Remedial Consent Decree, the County will work closely with Roanoke
Electric Steel (RES) to achieve a reasonable, safe and effective
solution to these environmental problems, in accordance with the
cost-sharing agreement approved on August 12, 1992.
Finally when these are completed to the satisfaction of EPA,
the County shall commence the closure of the sanitary landfill in
accordance with applicable state and federal regulations. The 1992
session of the Virginia General Assembly adopted legislation
providing a "window of opportunity" until October of 1993 to
achieve closure in accordance with the less stringent federal (Sub-
title D of RCRA) regulations. Funds for the closure are included
in the November 3, 1992 bond referendum.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
The Engineering Department and George W. Simpson, III, P.E.
have been designated as "Project Coordinator" for these three
projects. County resources and personnel have been reallocated to
this department to handle the increased workload. At this time
staff believes that County resources and personnel can best be
utilized in a construction or project management, oversight and
inspection role, coordinating the work of outside contractors and
subcontractors. It is anticipated that handling these projects
"in-house" in this manner will result in significant savings of
taxpayer funds.
The nature, scope and timing of these critical Dixie Caverns
projects, and the allocation of County personnel to implement these
projects, may result in delays in implementing other projects
assigned to the Engineering Department.
This recommendation to implement the removal, remedial, and
closure actions at Dixie Caverns includes the following:
- role of County staff: construction project management and
inspection;
- hire Olver, Inc. to provide engineering design, prepara-
tion of EPA required work plans, technical support for
removal and remedial projects;
- authorization to hire contractors and subcontractors to
perform work required;
- authorization to hire additional County personnel (one
additional employee to oversee contractors, inspect and
direct all construction activities, insure that local,
state and federal regulations are complied with, make
field decisions, document removal activities, and
maintain accurate records); this position would be a
"Construction Inspector;" and purchase required equip-
ment (one additional four-wheel drive vehicle and safety
equipment).
- commitment to appropriate additional funds as required to

ITEM NUMBER
AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANORE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANORE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: September 8, 1992
AGENDA ITEM: Reading of Ordinance to amend and reenact Section
7-61, Roanoke County Code and Adopt Section 105 Unsafe Buildings,
Volume II, Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: ~~
U ~" .~`~Jc-~
~~
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
County staff is requesting the Board of Supervisors adopt the
attached ordinance to adopt Section 105, Volume II entitled
Building Maintenance Code. Adoption of this section would give
Roanoke County the authority to condemn buildings and structures
regardless of which code was in effect at the time the structure
was built.
BACKGROUND
At the present time, Roanoke County does not have the
authority to condemn unsafe buildings and structures built after
September 1, 1973.
The reason is that in 1987, the Code of Virginia directed the
Board of Housing and Community Development to adopt a Uniform
Statewide Building Code to provide uniform regulations for
construction, maintenance, and use of buildings and structures.
To satisfy this mandate, the Board of Housing and Community
Development developed two volumes of the Uniform Statewide Building
Code; Volume I regulates new construction, and Volume II regulates
the maintenance of existing buildings and structures.
The Code of Virginia mandates local governments to enforce
Volume I. Enforcement of Volume II by local governments is
optional.
The authority of the Building Commissioner to condemn unsafe
buildings or structures was established in Volume II.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION
In order for Roanoke County to address this issue, County
staff is requesting the Board of Supervisors to adopt Section 105
of Volume II of the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code.
The first reading of the ordinance is scheduled to be held on
September 8, 1992; Public Hearings and the second reading is
scheduled to be held on September 22, 1992.
FISCAL IMPACTS
There may be some situations whereby the County will have to
contract to have a building demolished or secured against entry.
The contractor will have to be paid up front and a lien filed
against the property. However, a lien filed against the property
does not guarantee total compensation to the County.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the attached ordinance. Staff
does not recommend adoption of the complete edition of Volume II
of the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code, due to inadequate
staff to enforce additional regulations.

IN RE: NEW BIISINESS
August 12, 1992
Supervisor Johnson advised he had a problem with being
told after six years that the County has a problem in the stream
when the County has consistently done the right thing.
Supervisor Minnix agreed, and Supervisor Kohinke advised he would
vote No as a protest .• Supervisor Nickens suggested adding
language to the resolution the documents were being executed
under protest because the situation existed for years and the
County must now develop a plan in 21 days. Supervisor Eddy
suggested including this language in the transmittal letter
rather than the resolution.
Supervisor Minnix asked what action would be taken if
the Board of Supervisors did not adopt the resolution. Mr.
Mahoney responded that (1) the EPA could conduct the cleanup
themselves and charge Roanoke County for the costs; (2) the EPA
could order Roanoke County to conduct the cleanup; or (3) the EPA
could ask the courts to fine the County up to $25,000 per day.
Supervisor Nickens moved to adopt the resolution with
the submittal letter expressing concern for the EPA's approach
and describing the County efforts to comply in the past. The
motion carried by the following recorded vote:

2. Request for Authorization to Execute a Cost-
sharing Agreement with Roanoke Electric Steel
regarding Cleanup of the Dixie Caverns Landfill
site.
A-81292-2
Mr. Hodge reported that representatives of Roanoke
County and Roanoke Electric Steel have negotiated a cost-sharing
agreement regarding the cleanup of the Dixie Caverns landfill.
The cost-sharing agreement provides that each party will pay one-
half of all costs that they are required to pay under the consent
decree and the removal consent order. RES will reimburse the
County's share of costs in excess of $1 million with certain
percentages of net profits from RES's marketing of its
proprietary trade secret treatment technologies. The parties
will use their best efforts to minimize costs under the Consent
Decree and to obtain credit for the $400,000 they have already

ideas suggested in the book were excellent and should be
investigated further, some were probably not legal in Virginia
and that Roanoke County was already utilizing many of the
recommendations.
Supervisor Eddy asked that a request be made to VML
and/or VACo to conduct a statewide salary survey.

5. Development of Capital Improvement Program
Reta Busher, Management & Budget Director reported
that the staff plans to do the CIP during the 1993-94 budget
process. They will begin in September and will adopt the CIP at
the same time as the budget is adopted. In response to a
question from Supervisor Eddy, Mr. Hodge advised that staff is
not starting during the summer because they are involved in other
projects such as the bond referendum and the study of cooperative
efforts with the Town of Vinton.
6. Sewage Treatment Plant Expansion
Clifford Craig, Utility Director, advised that
Roanoke County is not over capacity, but that at this time
Roanoke City is double its capacity. The total cost of the
expansion is estimated to be $43 million with the County and City
paying $14 million each and the City of Salem paying $12 million.
Roanoke County, the Town of Vinton, the City of Salem and
Botetourt County are currently negotiating with Roanoke City and
have hired a consultant.

MEETING DATE: September 8, 1992
AGENDA ITEM: ROANOKE COUNTY NOISE ORDINANCE - WORK SESSION
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
EXECUTIVE SUNIIKARY
A draft noise ordinance parallelling ones recently adopted by
the City of Roanoke and the Town of Vinton is presented for Board
review and discussion prior to formal action
BACKGROUND•
At the request of the Board of Supervisors, the Public Safety
Team and the County Attorney's Office have expended a considerable
amount of time developing a noise ordinance which is similar to
those of adjoining jurisdictions. Because of concerns about the
enforceability of such an ordinance, the Public Safety Team has
taken no specific position on this ordinance but has attempted to
develop the clearest and most enforceable ordinance possible for
the citizens of the County.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
The ordinance prescribes both specific acts which are declared
"noise disturbances" under Sec. 13-21 as well as a general
prohibition against "noise disturbance" under Sec. 13-20. A "noise
disturbance" is defined in Sec. 13-18 as encompassing three
categories of sound, as follows: (1) sound which endangers or
injures the safety or health of any person; (2) sound which annoys
or disturbs a reasonable person of normal sensitivities; or (3)
sound which endangers or injures personal or real property. A
violation of either the specific or general "noise disturbance"
prohibitions would constitute a Class 4 misdemeanor punishable by
a maximum fine of $250.00 under Sec. 1-10.
The ordinance provides for certain exceptions to the applica-
tion of its prohibitions including: (a) work required by a
governmental emergency and notification related to such work; (b)
school or county sponsored sports or recreational events; (c)
music, chimes or sounds from a place of worship; (d) sounds coming
from a county or state authorized activity up until 10:00 p.m.; and
t
N -/
(e) sounds generated within commercial or industrial zoning
districts. In addition, a procedure is detailed in Sec. 13-23 for
applying to the Board of Supervisors for a waiver, not to exceed
one year, from the prohibitions of this ordinance.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff makes no recommendation at this time as to the necessity
or advisability of adopting such a Noise Ordinance.

MEETING DATE: September 8, 1992
AGENDA ITEM: Work Session on Alternative Discharge Sewage Treat-
ment Systems for Single Family Dwellings
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
BACKGROUND: In 1988 the County Planning Commission, at the request
of the Board, reviewed the various issues surrounding the use of
Alternative Discharge Treatment Systems for Single Family Dwellings
in Roanoke County. Based on their study, the Commission recommend-
ed that an Ordinance be developed to allow alternative systems on
a hardship basis only as a replacement system for failed septic
systems on improved lots which constitute a risk to public health.
On August 23, 1988, the Board considered this recommendation and
decided to continue the County's prohibition, as prescribed by the
County Code and Ordinances, for all such alternative systems. This
decision was based on concerns over the maintenance and monitoring
of these systems, the implications to managing growth and develop-
ment in the County, the potential responsibility assumed by the
County to provide public sewer to failed discharge systems, and, as
a replacement system, concerns with legal equity between existing
residences and new construction.
Attached to this report is an updated summary of the status of
these systems and the changes in the regulations and permitting
procedures of the Virginia Water Control Board and the Health
Departments. Also, staff has placed additional technical informa-
tion and research reports on these systems in a notebook for
further reading and reference.
2
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Alternative #1: Continue current Board policy of denying any
request for local authorization of a VPDES permit for single family
alternative discharge systems.
Alternative #2: As recommended by the Planning Commission in 1988,
prepare specific amendments to the County Code and ordinances to
allow alternative discharge systems as a replacement system for
failed septic systems.

SUMMARY REPORT ~ _ ~
ON
ALTERNATIVE DISCHARGE SEWAGE DISPOSAL SYSTEMS
The following information has been prepared to facilitate a discussion on Alternative
Discharge Sewage Disposal Systems at your work session on September 8, 1992.
For the purpose of consistency, these systems will be referred to as Alternative
Discharge Systems or just systems throughout this report. Staff has attempted to
summarize this information, focusing on the key issues and concerns. To supplement
this report, staff has placed a notebook in the Board members office titled Alternative
Discharge Systems. This notebook contains the detailed regulations, research papers,
and other information obtained by staff. A listing of these additional materials is
located at the end of this summary. In addition, staff has included in your packet an
informative booklet, A Guide to Septic Svstems and Alternatives, published by the
Virginia Water Resources Research Center.
Please note that there are a variety of terms or names associated with these systems.
The name selected is used by the Virginia Department of Health. Other names include
single family home treatment plants, individual sewage treatment systems or plants,
individual on-site waste water treatment plants, etc.
Description of alternative discharge svstems
• An alternative discharge sewage disposal system, for the purposes of this report,
is defined as any system or device which results in a point source discharge (or
surface discharge) of not more than 1,000 gallons per day from a single family
residential source. Not addressed in this report are community sized package
treatment systems like the one proposed by Fralin and Waldron in Back Creek.
• They differ from other more conventional systems in that all other approved
methods of on-site sewage disposal use a soil absorption bed or drainfield as an
integral part of the treatment process. All of these other systems, ranging from
conventional septic and drainfield systems to the more innovative mound systems,
have no surface point discharge.
• Alternative discharge systems include two approved technologies: the sand filters,
and the aerobic treatment units or systems. A full description of these and other
approved methods of sewage disposal can be found in the booklet A Guide to
Septic Systems and Alternatives.
1
~"
• Most of the attention in Virginia has been on the aerobic treatment systems.
These systems, unlike the sand filters, are manufactured and marketed by private
vendors as a packaged treatment system for single family residences (hence the
name treatment plants). Sand filters, in contrast are usually designed and
constructed on a site specific basis and are generally more expensive to install and
maintain.
Summary of Research
• Aerobic treatment systems have been proposed as an alternative to more
conventional or innovative soil absorption based systems where soil capabilities
have been determined to be inadequate. The primary focus of most research on
these systems has been the consistency and quality of treatment, since they
discharge directly or indirectly into surface waters. Unlike soil absorption
systems, their impact on public health and water quality is more visible and
potentially more problematic.
• Since these systems first appeared on the market, they have been subjected to
considerable research across the Country. Extensive field research of aerobic
treatment systems has been conducted in Ohio and Colorado. Virginia, through
the Water Resources Research Center, has just completed a study, which included
an extensive survey and summary of previous research (portions of the study are
included in the notebook of additional reading material).
• The conclusions of these studies repeatedly show that a high percentage of the
aerobic systems tested in the field were unable to consistently meet the discharge
limits established by the permits approved for these systems. These percentages
have ranged as high as 60% to 80% of the systems sampled. Some researchers
have concluded that the poor quality of treatment from these systems may be
attributed to poor design and/or construction. Virtually all studies, however, have
attributed these results to mechanical malfunctions and infrequent servicing, and
homeowner neglect or ignorance of proper operation and maintenance of these
systems. Additional problems with the quality of discharge were noted where
chlorination and dechlorination was required (as in Virginia). A number of these
studies are included in the notebook of additional reading materials.
Legislation and Regulation in Virginia
• Prior to the installation and operation of an Alternative Discharge system, a
Virginia Pollution Discharge Elimination System (VPDES) permit must be obtained
from the Virginia Water Control Board (VWCB).
• In 1987 the Code of Virginia was amended to require local government
authorization of all Virginia Pollution Discharge Elimination System (VPDES) permit
2
~~
requests prior to approval by the Virginia Water Control Board (VWCB-. This
authorization is to insure that the proposal is consistent with all ordinances
adopted pursuant to Chapter 11 of Title 15.1 (Section 15.1-427 et. seq.). This
amendment has led to Roanoke County's involvement with this issue.
• From 1987 and 1990 the General Assembly of Virginia, by joint resolution, has
requested three studies directly related to failing septic systems and alternative
treatment systems. In the first of these studies it is estimated that as many as
60 percent of the septic systems in Virginia were operating improperly. However,
another study by the Virginia Water Project in 1987 estimated that only 45 septic
systems in Roanoke County were inadequate or failing, of which 4 were
uncorrectable. The most recent study requested by the General Assembly
evaluates "Single Family Home Treatment Plants" and was completed in 1990.
This study summarized the capabilities and concerns with these systems and laid
the foundation for placing them under the VWCB's general permit procedures and
transferring most the administration of permitting them to the VDH. A copy of
this study is included in the notebook of additional information.
• The VDH has prepared regulations titled "Alternative Discharge Sewage Treatment
System Regulations for Individual Single Family Dwellings (VR 355-34-400)"
which are serving as interim regulations until formally adopted latter this year.
Listed below is a brief summary of those regulations:
Regulations Generallv
- Regulations apply only to alternative discharge sewage treatment systems
with average flows of 1,000 gallons per day from individual single family
dwellings.
- Regulations dovetail with the VPDES General Permit Requirements
administered by the VWCB.
- Discharge systems will not be approved until all other on-site sewage options
have been evaluated and found unsatisfactory.
Permitting Process
- Permit application is submitted to VDH.
- VDH refers the application to the VWCB who processes the permit request
under general permit procedures, including local government authorization,
and general evaluation of location in terms of other permits and proposals in
terms of water quality issues.
3
~ -- 2
- If approved by VWCB, VDH reviews the application for conformance with
VDH regulations for general siting of systems. Exceptions to the siting criteria
can be made for systems replacing failing on-site systems provided the basic
intent of the regulations are met. If approved, the applicant submits
construction plans with detailed locational data and description of proposed
system. If in conformance, a construction permit is issued.
- VDH performs an inspection of the entire system after installation (but prior
to backfilling) and if in conformance, issues an operation permit.
- Permits are issued on a first come first serve basis within the limits of
receiving water body or stream. When these limits are reached, a individual
VPDES permit (rather than a general permit) may be obtained from the VWCB
with more stringent treatment and lower levels of contaminants permitted to
be discharged.
Site Requirements and Design
- Discharge points are primarily limited to all weather streams, with minimum
setback requirements from water supply intakes and recreational uses (1 mile),
private and public water supplies, springs, and other discharge points.
Discharging into a sink hole is prohibited.
- Discharges into intermittent streams and dry ditches are highly discouraged
and are not generally approved. Additional requirements apply to such
discharges including ownership or easements for the discharge point and
restricting access to the discharge point to avoid human contact.
- In existing or new subdivisions only discharges into all weather streams is
allowed, except for replacement systems. In new subdivisions, an
environmental analysis and impact of all discharges may be required from the
locality by VDH prior to its review.
- All systems must meet standards for Class 1 systems as defined by ANSI/NSF
(American National Standards Institute/National Sanitation Foundation)
International Standard 40 and must also be approved by VDH for use in
Virginia. Detailed procedures are established for obtaining this approval.
- All systems must be constructed and installed according to approved plans
and must include sampling ports, posting of discharge points, and an audio
and visual alarm on a separate electrical circuit. Disinfection (usually
chlorination) and other treatment (dechlorination) is also required in most
locations. Bypass pipes for untreated effluent are prohibited.
4
~~
Monitorin4 and Maintenance
- Once the operation permit is issued, informal (field) testing is conducted
monthly for six months. If discharge limits are met, informal testing is
required semi-annually, with formal (lab) testing required annually. If
discharge limits are not met, additional informal and formal testing is required.
If discharge limits are still not met, monthly testing can be required until the
system is operating properly.
- A maintenance contract is required to be kept in force at all times. Such
contracts must cover a minimum of 2 years, and include all required testing
and repairs with a maximum deductible of not more than $200. After July
1994 all personnel performing maintenance and testing services under
contract must possess a Class IV Wastewater Works Operators license.
- VDH holds the owner directly responsible for complying with all testing and
monitoring requirements, all notifications in the event of a malfunction, and
insuring a maintenance contract remains in effect. The monitoring
requirements are usually included in the maintenance contract as a service.
Regulation in Roanoke County
• Under the Code of Virginia, local government authorization must be obtained prior
to issuance of an VPDES permit by the VWCB (or the VDH for Alternative
Systems). This authorization is to insure that the proposal is consistent with all
ordinances adopted pursuant to Chapter 11 of Title 15.1 (Section 15.1-427 et.
seq.).
• The laws and ordinances regulating land development are intertwined in the
subdivision regulations and zoning ordinance (new and old) and provisions of the
County code. According to the laws, and specifically Chapter 18 of the County
Code, only septic tank systems and public sewer systems are authorized for the
disposal of household sewage disposal.
Summary of Concerns
• There are a number of issues and concerns which surface in relationship to
permitting these systems to be installed in Roanoke County. These can be divided
into three general categories: Water Quality Issues, Growth Management Issues,
and Other Potential County Liabilities. These are more fully described below.
Water Qualit~lssues
- Roanoke City, and in turn the County, is required to meet exceptionally high
5
N -,2
standards for the quality of effluent discharged at the Roanoke City Regional
Sewage Treatment Plant. The discharge limits required of these treatment
systems is considerably lower. This creates not only a problem of equity, but
raises questions in terms of the implications on water quality in the region.
- Unlike conventional septic systems and drainfields which rely on gravity, these
treatment systems rely heavily on mechanical equipment which is subject to
failure. Once the aerator/agitator systems cease operation, the system
operates as a conventional septic system with a direct surface discharge. An
alarm system will notify the conscientious owner, but does not prevent
untreated discharges where the owner is either ignorant or indifferent to the
consequences.
- As the research studies mentioned above have indicated, the primary reason
for the failure of the systems to consistently perform as permitted is the lack
of maintenance and monitoring of the systems. The new VDH regulations
have required perpetual maintenance contracts and periodic monitoring based
on the systems performance. The regional treatment plant must be monitored
and sampled daily. Ultimate responsibility rests with the property owner to
insure that maintenance and monitoring requirements are met. The ability of
the VWCB and VDH to oversee and enforce these requirements, given present
budgets and personnel, still remains a question.
- Finally, as the studies also indicate, the ability of these systems to
continuously meet the discharge limits established by the VWCB and VDH in
the field is still subject to considerable debate. In addition, as water quality
standards are tightened, previously permitted systems may no longer comply
with the new standards.
Growth Management Issues
- Historically, the soil suitability has served as a major limitation on the
development potential of an area. Permitting these alternative systems,
particularly for new development would overcome this natural constraint.
- Many areas constrained by soil suitability also possess other constraints to
development including areas with poor drainage, steep slopes and flood plains.
- To an extent, soil suitability serves as a limiting factor on growth in the
County's Rural Service area. Staff is concerned that the alternative systems
would permit additional growth, spurring the need for expanding public
services and facilities not previously anticipated in the County's programmed
improvements.
6
--
Other Potential County Liability
- Roanoke County has had a long history of having to deal with the problems
of private improvements associated with land development. Many of these
have become public liabilities, in that public funds have been expended to
upgrade and improve private facilities. Private roads are no longer permitted
because of the public costs in upgrading these roads for acceptance into the
state system. The County is now experiencing the same problem with a
number of private water supply systems recently acquired by the county.
Similar circumstances have also occurred with drainage ways which may
expand into the area of stormwater management. Staff feels that these
alternative systems, due to the maintenance and monitoring requirements and
the potential for tighter discharge standards, have the same potential for
becoming public liabilities.
- As these systems are approved on a first come basis with discharge limits
based on the receiving stream, the use of these alternative systems in large
numbers over time could diminish the ability of the County to site a treatment
facility in the same watershed. The cumulative affect could be to increase the
cost of treatment at a public facility to maintain water quality standards of the
receiving stream.
• There has also been some discussion about permitting alternative discharge
systems as a replacement system for existing improved property where no other
alternative for sewage disposal to correct a problem. This position is consistent
with the Planning Commissions recommendation in 1988 and is also supported
by the Director of Utilities. However, the following concerns have been raised
with this approach:
- There may be some question of legal equity in allowing these systems for
replacement of a failed septic system and not allowing them for new
construction.
- It can be argued that if the "technology" is acceptable for replacing a failed
septic system, why is the "technology" unsuitable for new unimproved
property.
- If these systems are authorized for replacing a failed system, it opens the door
for use in conjunction with new construction.

ATTACHMENT `A'
The proposed financing is for the new construction of approximately
120 units of housing, known as Peters Creek Apartments, to be
financed under Virginia Housing Development Authority's
Multi-Family Loan Program and situated on approximately 12 acres at
Peters Creek Road near the intersection of Brook Street and South
Drive in the County of Roanoke.
§ 36-55.39. Procedure prior to financing of housing developments
undertaken by housing sponsors. - A. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this chapter, HD:~ is not empowered to finance an_v housing
development undertaken by a housing sponsor pursuant to ~§ 36-~~.31,
36-5.33:1 and 36-55.34:1 of this chanter unless, prior to the financing of any
housing development hereunder, HDA finds:
1. That there exists a shortage of decent, safe and sanitary housing at
rentals or prices which persons and families of lo~v income or moderate income
can afTord within the general housing market area to be served by the
proposed housing development.
2. That private enterprise and investment have been unable, without
assistance, to provide the needed decent, safe and sanitary housing at rentals
or Writes which persons or families of lo~v and moderate income can afford or
to provide sufficient mortgage financing for residential housing for occupancy
by such persons or families. _
3. That the housintr sponsor or sponsors undertaking the proposed housing
development in this l;ommonweaittl will SllDDIV well-planned, well-desi~>ned
housin, for persons or families of low and moderate income and that such
sponsors are tlnanciaily responsible.
4. That the housing development, to be assisted pursuant to the provisions
of this chanter, will be of public use and will provide a public benefit.
5. That the housing development will be undertaken within the authority
conferred by this chapter upon HD:1 and the housing sponsor or sponsors.
B. HD:~ shall also find, in connection with the financing of the new ~ -
corstruction or substantial rehabilitation of any proposed multi-thmily
residential housing development, that the :;overnin~ bout' of the locyuty• in
which such housing development is to be located has not, within sixt~; days
after written notification of the proposed financing has been sent the
governing body by HD~1, certified to HD:1 in writing its disapproval of the •
proposed multi-family residential housing development. If the governing body
of the locality has so certified its disapproval to HD:1, the governing body may
revoke such certification of disapproval at any time by written notice to IID~~,
and upon receipt of such written notice, IID~~ shall, for the purpose of making
the finding required by this subsection, disregard such certification of
disapproval. Furthermore, no finding need be made under this subsection if
HD:1 shall have received from the governing body its certified resolution
approving; the proposed housing development. (1972, c. 830; 1975, c. 536; 19.8,

I.
Assignment to Budget Subcommittee
A. Develop an interim budget for operations of the
government and education access studio.
B. Recommend a maximum salary amount for the Studio Manager.
C. Recommend an operational arrangement for the ongoing
supervision of the Studio Manager.
II. Budget Assumptions and Comments
A. The interim o~eratina b e expenses for the studio
during Fiscal Year 1992-93 will be funded proportionately
by the City of Roanoke, County of Roanoke and Town of
Vinton based on their respective percentage shares of
total revenues to Cox Cable from each jurisdiction for
calendar year 1991:
City of Roanoke $ 9,845,609 58.57$
County of Roanoke 5,733,012 34.11$
Town of Vinton 1.230.719 7.32$
Totals $16,809,340 100.00$
This assumption for the interim budget is consistent with
the funding method previously discussed by the RVRCTC for
future fiscal year operating budgets, i.e. the
appropriation by each participating locality of an
equivalent amount up to a maximum of 1$ of gross revenues
of Cox Cable Roanoke from each jurisdiction for the
previous calendar year for operation of the studio. The
percentage share of expenses for each locality would be
the same under Both funding scenarios.
B. A capital budget will be prepared by the Studio Manager
and presented to the RVRCTC for review and approval at a
later date. Capital grant payments from Cox Cable will
be used to fund capital expenses approved in the capital
budget, as wall as professional engineering services
required for design of the studio, video equipment and
office equipment needed in the interim. The $300,000
received to date, less the amount to be expended for
character generator equipment plus interest earned, will
remain an undesignated portion of the studio's fund
balance until that time.
C. The Studio Manager will be hired by November 1, 1992. 1
