County Administrators Comments: Summary of Information: The Kiwanis Club of Roanoke has adopted the renovation of the Lodge building at Camp Roanoke as a community service project for their club. This renovation is estimated to cost in excess of $12,000. Several Kiwanis members approached Lowes, Inc. to solicit contributions to support this project which resulted in a donation of $10,000 towards the Kawanis project. Roanoke County has received these funds which need to be appropriated to the Kiwanis Club so they can proceed with the renovation. Fiscal Impact: None. this is a pass through to the Kiwanis Club. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends appropriating $10,000 to the Kiwanis Club with the understanding that the entire amount will be spent at Camp Roanoke on the renovation of the Lodge or other facilities at the Camp.

ITEM NUMBER AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: June 9, 1998 AGENDA ITEM: Request for an Additional Appropriation for the Remediation of the Cave Spring Fire Station Underground Storage Tank Site COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: //i �r9 , BACKGROUND: The Department of General Services has been coordinating the removal of underground storage tanks on county properties. $221,356.13 was previously appropriated for the removal of tanks at county sites. We were unable to predict the cost of any remedial action that might be required from tanks which had leaked product into the soil or which may have ruptured during removal. Once work starts on a particular site, you must continue with the remediation of that site under the guidelines established by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ) using contractors who are qualified and licensed to handle environmental monitoring and clean-up of such sites. To date, tank closure (removal of the old tank, site remediation if required, and installation of newer, smaller, above ground tanks) has been completed and approved at the Catawba Fire Station, Hollins Public Safety Building, Mason's Cove Pubic Safety Building, Mt. Pleasant Public Safety Building, Ft. Lewis Public Safety Building, Clearbrook Public Safety Building, Bent Mountain Public Safety Building, the Roanoke County -Salem Jail, and Kessler Mill Public Service Center. A total of 15 tanks have been removed, 14 above ground tanks have been installed, and these sites have been closed. The Cave Spring Fire Station site had petroleum concentrations that required a site characterization report and remediation plan. On- site testing and tests of waterwells down grade from the station indicated that the petroleum products had not migrated far away from the tank pit. The proposed VDEQ remediation plan calls for the over -excavation of the tank site. This excavation will be approximately 500 tons of impacted soil that will be transported by an authorized hauler to a certified disposal facility. The site will then be backfilled with low permeability material to inhibit the vertical migration of surface water, which would tend to cause the horizontal migration of any remaining petroleum product. Due to the large size and proximity of the excavation, steel sheet pile shoring has been included in the proposal pricing. FISCAL IMPACT• The proposed contract change order to implement the VDEQ Remediation Plan is $40,000.00. on-site testing will be performed when the excavation reaches the planned dimensions. Should the test results indicate petroleum concentrations that exceed permissible limits, additional remediation and funding may be required. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends appropriating $40,000.00 from the unappropriated fund balance. Re,.9pectfully s mitted, Approved by, William J. Rand, III Elmer C.

Patten County of Roanoke 1216 Kessler Mill Road Salem, Virginia 24153 Subject: Phase II Initial Abatement Measures Soil Excavation and Disposal Proposal for Contract Change Order CP96-39 Cave Spring Fire and Rescue Station Cave Spring, Roanoke County, Virginia Dear Mr. Patten: W Telephone: Pursuant to the request of the County of Roanoke, and the Virginia Department of Environmental 5 { t, 5 6 3.4 t 9 3 Quality (VDEQ) correspondence to the County of Roanoke dated May 11, 1998 (attached), the following is a Proposal/ Change Order Request for Phase II Initial Abatement Measures at the above F a c s i m i I e referenced facility. The VDEQ correspondence, based on the technical review of the Site Characterization Report (SCR) prepared by Earth Tech (dated March 6, 1998), approved excavation 540-z;63-4 t 9 of contaminated soil in the vicinity of the former underground storage tanks (USTs) as a remedial action at the Cave Spring Fire and Rescue Station. A soil remediation end-point of 230 mg/kg TPH (refer to the Earth Tech SCR), approved by the VDEQ, is the excavation goal. Soil Excavation and Removal Scope A volume of approximately 350 cubic yards (500 tons) has been calculated for the soil volume in the former UST pit. A trackhoe is proposed to excavate the soil. It is proposed to excavate impacted soil to a depth of approximately 12 to 15 feet BG, based on the site characterization and UST closure data. Because of the proximity of the former UST pit to the Fire and Rescue Station foundation, sheeting and shoring has been included in this proposal. Earth Tech will attempt to segregate the clean fill material, to the extent practicable, which was emplaced in the top portion of the former UST pit during UST closure activities. However, because of site size constraints, access issues, and potential time/cost considerations, it may be necessary and/or more cost effective to excavate and haul all soil as impacted. The estimate of 500 tons is for the entire UST pit volume. The impacted soil will be transported by an authorized hauler to a certified/regulated disposal facility for petroleum impacted material. Backfilling of the excavation will be accomplished with clay, or predominantly clay (low permeability) material from off-site which would compact easily. The clay will be placed in lifts, and compacted. The use of clay material will inhibit vertical migration of surface water, which will further reduce potential migration of the existing dissolved hydrocarbons in the vicinity of the former UST pit area, or potential mobilization of any remaining residual phase hydrocarbons. The top portion will be completed with crusher run stone as a base for future blacktop surfacing. Page 1 of 3 E A R T H @ T E C H AVICO INTERNATIONAL LTD. COMPANY AnN Page 2 of 3 Mr. John Patten May 29, 1998 During excavation activities, soil will be scanned with a photoionization detector (PID) to determine the actual extent of removal necessary. Following removal of impacted soil to the degree feasible (based on occurrence, and slope and foundation stability considerations), post -excavation samples will be collected from the pit bottom and sidewalls to confirm final pit conditions. This proposal includes four pit bottom samples, and four sidewall samples. The samples will be analyzed for total petroleum hydrocarbons - gasoline and diesel range organics (TPH-GRO/DRO) and BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes). The impacted soil will be accepted by the disposal facility using existing analytical data. Therefore, soil disposal characterization samples are not required. This proposal assumes that excavation and backfilling will be completed in approximately five working days, upon commencing on-site activities. Prior to scheduling site activities, Earth Tech will submit a VDEQ Activity Authorization Form to the VDEQ- Roanoke office for approval. This is necessary for potential reimbursement from the Virginia Petroleum Storage Tank Fund (VPSTF). Following removal of soil, and collection of post -excavation samples, a Phase II Initial Abatement Measures Report detailing site remedial activities will be provided to the VDEQ. This report will include all sample results, PID data, soil disposal manifests, and a summary of all activities. Cost Estimate This project will be conducted on lump sum basis in accordance with the referenced scope of services. The estimated cost of the project as proposed above is $ 40,000.00. As discussed with the County of Roanoke, in the event that less than 500 tons of impacted soil is excavated/disposed, the County will be credited for the reduction in disposal and associated backfill costs. Similarly, in the event that the site does not require sheeting and shoring, the County will be credited for these costs. This proposal does not include paving costs. Those costs are associated with the original UST upgrade contract. Because of the proximity of the generator to the former UST pit area, there exists the potential for sidewall collapse in the vicinity of the generator and pad. Hence, the generator must be temporarily disconnected and relocated. As previously discussed with the County, temporary disconnection and relocation of the emergency generator will be handled by the County of Roanoke. It should be noted, however, that in the event the soil disposal total exceeds 500 tons, a change order for additional excavation and backfill costs will be requested. Schedule Upon receipt of a written "Notice to Proceed" from the County of Roanoke, Earth Tech will commence scheduling site activities. The actual schedule will be dependent on weather conditions, staff availability, and disposal contractor availability.

ITEM NUMBER AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: June 9,1998 AGENDA ITEM: Request for Authorization to Proceed with the Construction of Bunkrooms and Restrooms At Hollins and Fort Lewis Fire/Rescue Stations. COUNTY ADMINISTRAT/OR'S COMMENTS: �C' C_rmm 2i+ sA aJO�ro v e.� BACKGROUND: The Hollins and Fort Lewis Fire/Rescue Stations are first and third in the number of calls answered annually. Anticipating this increased demand for the services provided by the personnel assigned to these stations, the Fire and Rescue Department placed the upgrading of the crew facilities bthe 5 .Board,to0in the capital construction funds were appropriatedY the Fire and Rescue Department in the FY98 budget. SUMMARY: The architectural firm of Balzer and Associates was selected to design the bunkroom additions. The process included input, review, modification and acceptance by the volunteer companies involved, Fire and Rescue staff personnel, and General Services construction management personnel. Since the stations are identical, cost savings were realized by requiring that the additions also be identical. The plans were reviewed and approved by all appropriate County departments and advertised for bids in early February 1998 with bids due on 6 March. The low bid received was above the budget monies available. The plans were re-evaluated and the project was re -bid on 14 April with a change that increased the construction period by 50% to 180 days. Bids were received and opened on 28 April. The low bid was $354,000, which exceeded the funds appropriated for the project. At the May 12th board meeting, the supervisors directed staff to negotiate with the contractors to bring the project cost within the appropriated amount. Staff met with the low bidder and utilizing "value engineering" techniques, negotiated changes. Examples of the changes made include: substituting vinyl tile for carpet saving construction cost and future maintenance costs, and the evaluation and deletion of additional clothing storage lockers. The engineered cost savings maintained all structural integrities and still resulted in a $32,937 contract bid reduction. This places oe the project within budget. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that authorization be granted to proceed with the contract award and construction of this project on time and on budget. R lly sub _ William J.

NOW, THEREFORE, Be It Resolved by the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County, Virginia, that the following legislative initiatives are submitted to the Virginia Association of Counties for its legislative program for the 1999 session of the Virginia General Assembly for its favorable consideration and adoption. A. Education. Realizing that public education is the foundation of American democracy and the cornerstone of our future economic well being, the County urges the General Assembly to consider favorably the following actions. 1) The Constitution of the Commonwealth of Virginia should be amended 1 to provide that elected school boards may be granted the authority and responsibility for taxation to support public education. 2) The General Assembly should enhance funding for public education, including increasing the funds available to the Literary Fund for local school capital construction or renovation projects. The General Assembly should increase funding for capital construction and renovation projects based upon the locality's local effort in support of these capital projects. 3) Local school divisions should be authorized to establish opening dates for school. 4) Disparity funding should be based not only upon the number of students eligible for free or reduced fee lunches, but also upon the locality's local tax effort in support of education. Disparity funding should be based upon the composite index (which measures a locality's relative fiscal ability to provide its share of the cost of a local school system that meets the standards of quality) and the locality's local effort in support of that school system. B. Roanoke County supports legislation relieving local governments of the responsibility of meeting recycling rates on all wastes collected by private haulers and diverted from waste disposal facilities identified to receive such wastes as set out in the local solid waste management plan. This legislation should also require that private haulers diverting such wastes be held accountable and responsible to meeting the same recycling rates and requirements as the local governments. Section 10.1-1411 imposes a 25% recycling mandate on local governments. The General Assembly has severely limited the ability of local governments to regulate the flow of waste. This proposal would relieve local governments of the responsibility of meeting this recycling mandate on all wastes collected by private haulers. It would also require that private haulers be subject to the same recycling mandates as local governments. C. Roanoke County supports additional new construction and maintenance funding for the Virginia Department of Transportation for secondary and primary roads. Additional funding for new construction projects will address critical transportation needs of all local governments. Additional maintenance funding shall be used for an expanded program to mow grass and weeds, and inspect and clean drainage pipes and culverts. D. Roanoke County supports allowing the disposal of land clearing vegetative debris (including tree stumps) in less expensive facilities in a manner not detrimental to the environment. This would require groundwater and methane gas monitoring, financial assurances from the owner/operator, and local governing body certification of compliance with all local ordinances. E. Roanoke County supports legislation amending Section 14.1-46.01:1 to increase the salary supplement for the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors from $1,800 to $2,500 per year. F. Roanoke County supports continued and increased funding for the Comprehensive Services Act, the Virginia Community Juvenile Crime Control Act, the Family Preservation Act, local police departments (HB 599 funding), and the Regional Competitiveness Act. G. Roanoke County vigorously opposes any attempt to restrict or eliminate local C sources of taxation, including personal property taxation and business and professional occupational licensing, unless local governments are guaranteed the opportunity to replace lost sources of local revenue with comparable, equivalent, independent sources of revenue to allow localities to fulfill their public service obligations. H. Roanoke County supports authority to impose an additional one-half percent ('/Z%) local option sales tax. I. Roanoke County supports expanding local authority to create transportation districts, to impose local option motor vehicle fuels taxes, and to expend these tax proceeds for local transportation improvements. J. Roanoke County supports legislation appropriating funds and directing the State Compensation Board to modify staffing standards for local jails and court services positions for Sheriffs offices. K. Roanoke County supports amending Chapter 6. 1, "Virginia Tire Tax" of Title 58.1, "Taxation" (a) to increase the tire tax from $.50 to $1.25, and (b) to direct and authorize the Department of Waste Management to utilize the increased Waste Tire Trust Fund to remediate illegal or abandoned waste tire dumps. L. Roanoke County supports increasing state aid for public libraries by $1.4 Million FY 2000; That the Commonwealth fully fund state aid by FY 2001; that sales tax exemptions be provided for organizations that support public libraries; and that the Commonwealth shall adopt and fund a statewide technology plan and Internet access for public libraries. The objective of such a plan will be to provide public libraries with the technological support for public, universal access to networked information. rd M. Spot Blight. Amend Sec. 36-49.1:1.17 to allow all counties to impose liens for the recovery of the costs for spot blight removal in the manner currently allowed the urban county executive form of government. N. Amend sec. 56-414 to allow counties to regulate the sounding of train whistles at railroad crossings. 0. Amend Sec. 15.2-901 (weeds and trash) and 15.2-904 (inoperable motor vehicles) to allow enforcement through the use of civil penalties, as authorized for violations of zoning ordinances under Sec. 15.2-2209, or for violations of erosion and sediment control ordinances under Sec. 10.1-562.J.
