A-21192-1 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 11, 1992 AGENDA ITEM: Consideration of County Position on Proposed Appalachian Power Company Transmission Line COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: BACKGROUND At their November 19 meeting, the Board of Supervisors directed staff to prepare a notice of protest regarding the APCO proposal to site a 765 kv power line within a 300 meter corridor within the Catawba Magisterial District. In December 1991, the Board requested that the Planning staff and Planning Commission review the APCO proposal. SUMMARY OF INFORMATION At the February 4, 1992 Planning Commission meeting the staff presented to the Commission a brief overview of the project and a surm+ary of the expected impacts resulting from the power line. The staff discussed the power line's expected impact on the proposed Catawba Rural Historic District, the Route 785 Scenic Byway, the Smith Gap Landfill and the residences within the proposed corridor. Several members of the public also spoke to the Commission on this issue. A transcript of the Commission's comments is attached. Staff has worked with APCO on this issue for a number of months. An overall staff assessment would have to include both the potential benefits as well as problems associated with the APCO proposal. Staff has not analyzed the need for the transmission line and our concerns do not address that issue. Potential benefits include (1) APCO's contention that there is a strong need for the transmission line; (2) the potential economic development benefit from the additional electricity; (3) the proposed line would provide a backup in case of power outages. There are several serious concerns associated with the project. They include: (1) the proposed route adjacent to the present transmission line; (2) the impact to the Smith Gap Landfill; (3) the impact to the community including Catawba Rural Historic cc: File Paul 7D -! District, the Route 785 Scenic Byway, and residences within the corridor; (4) by paralleling the existing line, both lines could go out in instances such as a natural disaster. Appalachian Officials have been helpful in trying to minimize the impact to Roanoke County. They will be present at the February 11 meeting to make a presentation and answer questions the Board of Supervisors may have. Citizens from the community are also planning to attend. The Board of Supervisors may consider several alternatives: 1. Full support of the project 2. Take no position and remain neutral 3. Oppose the project by registering concern 4. Fully oppose the project by a letter of protest and legal action If alternative 4 is chosen, The County Attorney's Office will need to prepare the necessary documentation to present our position. This action will take substantial staff time. The original deadline for opposition was February 17, 1992. However, an article in the February 7 edition of The Roanoke Times and World News stated that the deadline has been extended to May 18, 1992. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This is a difficult issue and APCO is a good corporate citizen. However, I am asking the Board to insist that there be no impact on either the citizens or the landfill. Elmer C.

Harrington, Director, Planning & Zoning VOTE No Yes Abs X X X X x �D- i Discussion of APCO Power Line Proposal Ms. Chappelle: My personal comment is that I would like to solicit the help of those of you who know more since we need a good recommendation for the Board of Supervisors. I'm certainly not versed as some of you are and I would just like to ask you to help me make the best recommendation to the Board. Mr. Robinson: Quite honestly Mr. Chairman, the few questions that have been answered has generated so many questions that are unanswered that any comments that I would make, either for or against, would be both arbitrary and uneducated so I will not be making any comment. Mr. Gordon: First of all APCO is a business which supplies all of us in this valley with a very needed resource and has done so at a very economic benefit from what I've seen of other power companies, so I commend them on that. This day and age with the environment being as sensitive as it is and we're all seeing change in our environment, you only have to notice 70 degree weather in February to notice dramatic weather changes that are occurring. What the relationship is with the environment and how that's happening is way beyond my comprehension. I feel very strongly about trying to protect the environment as much as we can. The value impact on this power line to me is not justified --being the benefit is not worth the cost that will be incurred upon Roanoke County citizens; that cost is a loss of the aesthetic value. I think one of the people termed it as "the rape of the land." I believe the technology in the future will probably advance far enough that we'll see things like satellites which would transmit power back down to earth stations with a lot less impact as far as tearing up the land that we've got here already. I believe that that would be a better chance of making it than stretching a power line across and tearing up the land in Roanoke County. I see no actual benefit. I would be extremely opposed to another power line that would affect the visual viewshed of the valley we live in. I simply don't see a need; the value is not there. Mr. Witt: I've got some real concerns about a whole series of issues, and I may not be educated on this, but so what. One, the concern with the watershed at Carvins Cove. As I understand it, the towers are going right by Carvins Cove. With the herbicides there, there's no way that they can keep the herbicides out of the city water supply; I don't see how that can be done. The second thing is, and this is relative to the County as a whole, we are struggling in this County to try to get business into this County, or into the whole valley, and one of the best marketing tools that we have in this valley is the beauty of the valley. And now we are asked to sacrifice one of the major marketing tools that we have in bringing business in here, of attracting people into this area, to hand over to Appalachian Power. It doesn't make sense to me. I have a lot of concern about the 1,000 foot corridor through our landfill. If Appalachian Power makes the selection of where it goes, it could be a severe detriment to the landfill in its function. The fill area certainly could be affected and I'm sure the Board of Supervisors and the engineering folks in the County are going to address that in more detail. 2 3_1 The other concern I have is the conservation factor. Back in the 70s, there was program after program for energy conservation because we didn't have the oil, we didn't have the fuel resources; there were threatened brownouts and blackouts, etc., and in particular, on the east coast. Gradually that went away and now very few people care about energy conservation. I don't see a whole lot of programs in that area. And there are a lot of good ways to reduce energy consumption, especially in the summer cycles, by ice storage and other techniques of utilizing electricity over in the evening hours, and then using that cooling at peak times to reduce your demand which is the biggest problem with electrical lines, you can't store electricity. So again, Roanoke County is being asked to subsidize the east coast in their electrical power demands. And I think the best solution to this is a little more energy conservation. Those are the comments I have. Mr. Massey: From my perspective, I'm very much pro -economic development and control development. I work in an industry that uses a lot of electricity. Having a redundant source to Roanoke has a lot of positives, if it's going to be used that way. I know we've gone through power outages in our area that have been detrimental to a lot of people. While it has a positive economic impact for future use, I also look at it as a land use impact as well. If any other company was coming in with a proposal for this type of intense land use in a rural area, we would throw them right out the door. So we need to look at that and treat it as a land use if at all possible. In that respect, I am very much opposed to, and as she so eloquently stated, "raping the earth," and particularly Roanoke County for someone else's benefit. I agree with Mr. Gordon about future technology; there should be a way to generate this type of power without stringing this type of eyesore across the country. And Don's comments on conservation, I think they are very appropriate, and if all possible, should be made mandatory within the Roanoke Valley. Our company recently installed the ice -making type of equipment and it has a very positive impact on electrical usage. Those are my comments. Marian, anything else; Don? Mr. Witt: One other comment, if the major reason to run the lines along the I-81 corridor is because of the fact that there is another line going along there, that line has so little impact compared to what is being proposed, that I don't think that's a valid reason.
