Gates Roanoke, Virginia 24018-0798 TEL: (540) 772-2004 County Administrator FAX: (540) 561-2884 August 22, 2017 Virginia Department of Environmental Quality Office of Wetlands & Stream Protection P.O. Box 1105 Richmond, VA 23218 Attn: David Paylor, Director, DEQ Dear Mr. Paylor, The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is currently considering Section 401 Water Quality Certification (Certification) for issuance to Mountain Valley Pipeline LLC pursuant to Guidance Memo No. GM17-2003. I am writing on behalf of the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors requesting that DEQ delay action on this certification, or deny it, until a thorough analysis of the potential upland water resource impacts within Roanoke County can be made. Our request is made subsequent to the County's recent development of new mapping intended to highlight the presence of potential upland waters within the area of disturbance of the proposed MVP. This new information has been created by the County's GIS Department. Mapping products illustrative of our GIS Department's recent mapping efforts are enclosed herewith for your information. Below we offer (1) a summary of our understanding of DEQ's decision to focus on upland waters in the Certification process, (2) a description of the activities undertaken by Roanoke County to obtain new information on the County's upland waters, (3) a description of the enclosed mapping products, and (4) the rationale for our request that DEQ deny, or delay action on, Certification. DEQ'S FOCUS ON UPLAND WATERS As of this writing, a draft Certification document appears on the DEQ website at http://www.deq.virginia.gov/Portals/0/DEQ/Water/Pipelines/MVPfinaldraft40lcert.pdf. This document is titled, "CERTIFICATION No. 17-001, 401 Water Quality Certification Issued to Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC, 625 Liberty Avenue, Suite 1700, Pittsburgh, PA 15222." Page 4 of the draft Certification contains the following language under section V, Conditions: *Disturbance and removal of riparian buffers from Project -related upland land disturbing activities that would occur within 50 feet of any perennial, intermittent, or ephemeral surface waters shall be avoided where possible, and minimized to the maximum extent practicable if 50 feet is not possible. •The construction limit of disturbance (LOD) in upland areas approaching waterbody and wetland crossings shall be reduced from 125 feet to 75 feet and extended 50 feet from each side of the stream or wetland crossing as an additional upland buffer. •For any upland area approaching a waterbody or wetland crossing where this reduced LOD is not possible, a written justification shall be provided to the Department for review and approval prior to initiating land disturbing activity in that area. •A 100 foot riparian buffer shall be maintained between any perennial, intermittent, or ephemeral surface waters and all fueling, maintenance, parking and hazardous material storage activities. The County would like to offer our thanks for DEQ's intended focus, as revealed in the draft Certification document, on the protection of areas adjacent to perennial, intermittent, and ephemeral surface waters and wetlands in upland areas in the MVP construction zone. We are deeply appreciative of the stated commitment on the part of DEQ to enforce the enhanced protections of these important upland waters, as the MVP has been routed through an area of very steep, rocky terrain in Roanoke County long recognized for the pristine quality and exquisite beauty of the waters issuing from underground onto the rugged face of Poor Mountain in the form of springs, wetlands, and zero order, first order, perennial and intermittent streams. In the furtherance of the interest we share with DEQ in protecting these irreplaceable upland water bodies that form the headwaters of the South Fork of the Roanoke River, Roanoke County's GIS Department has engaged in a mapping project utilizing a technology called Light Detection and Ranging, or LiDAR. Below we describe the process whereby the County utilized LiDAR to generate the maps that are enclosed herewith. COUNTY'S NEW INFORMATION ON UPLAND WATERS In 2015, subsequent to the formation of Roanoke County's Pipeline Advisory Committee (PAC), members of the PAC visited pipeline construction sites in West Virginia, where they learned that pipelines were being built through mountain springs with limited provisions for their protection. PAC members reached out to DEQ's Groundwater Characterization Program, located in Harrisonburg, where, since 2006, geologists have been developing a database of springs and wells in Virginia. Through communications with the Groundwater Characterization Program, Committee members learned the following: • Our existing information on springs in Virginia is incomplete. • Springs are headwaters for many streams. The streams are discharge channels for the springs. Every mountain valley could have a spring at certain times of the year. • Many tiny, unnamed headwater streams originating from springs do not appear on any topographic map. Their location is unknown except by people who have walked the mountains. • Many of these springs may be ephemeral, which means they originate higher on the mountain when the water table is high, during wet seasons, and lower on the mountain when the water table is low, during hot and dry seasons. OFFICE OF THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR 5204 Bernard Drive, P.O. Box 29800 • Roanoke, Virginia 24018-0798 • In the interest of sediment control, any large-scale construction project should begin with a proper inventory of groundwater features such as springs, sinkholes, and wells. • Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) is a technology that can be used to provide preliminary information on the location of springs and associated headwaters. • Field surveys with GPS would be required to confirm the location of each spring and associated headwater stream identified through LiDAR. In 2015, PAC members mapped all the springs listed at that time in DEQ's spring database. The map showed no springs on Poor Mountain, indicating a deficiency of information on the springs forming headwaters of the South Fork of the Roanoke River on Poor Mountain, through which the MVP has been routed. DESCRIPTION OF ENCLOSED MAPPING PRODUCTS In 2017, responding to inquiries from the PAC, Roanoke County GIS staff devoted dozens of hours to the challenging task of learning how to use LiDAR technology to create useful and instructive maps regarding potential springs and intermittent streams within Roanoke County. By July, county staff were able to create a set of theoretical streams from LiDAR data and locate potential springs, as sinks, county- wide. As reported by County GIS staff to members of the PAC, mapping with LiDAR identified approximately 1,374 "potential" springs within the County's portion of the Limits of Disturbance of the MVP. Roanoke County's GIS Analyst, Darren Jones, described the LiDAR map images as "a network of lines which could be theoretical streams based on quite a few high level algorithms which calculate the flow of direction and flow accumulation from the digital elevation model (DEM). What they do is calculate the potential of water flow, starting at the highest elevation available, and following the topography of the land, to points where each line joins with others, thus generating a potential network of streams. The network would have to be further processed, based on the acreage value of a final product." Please see enclosed maps created by Darren Jones utilizing LiDAR. We discuss the significance of the LiDAR generated information below. RATIONALE FOR REQUEST THAT DEQ DELAY OR DENY CERTIFICATION The network of potential springs and streams as illustrated on the enclosed maps brings up a number of troubling issues associated with the current plans on the part of DEQ to certify the MVP. We note that, as illustrated on the enclosed LiDAR maps, the density of potential springs and streams is so high that, even if only a small percentage of these "potential" water bodies is found through field reconnaissance to actually exist, it would be impossible to build the MVP through the current alignment without impacting them. Information on the location of springs and associated headwaters on Poor Mountain as generated by LiDAR and subsequent field reconnaissance would render the "Conditions" appearing on page 4 of DEQ's draft CERTIFICATION No. 17-001, as discussed above, virtually impossible to enforce, due to the density of springs and headwaters. It is possible, if not likely, that there would be insufficient OFFICE OF THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR 5204 Bernard Drive, P.O. Box 29800 • Roanoke, Virginia 24018-0798 space within the MVP corridor to avoid impacting these upland waters, DEQ's "Conditions" notwithstanding. Since neither DEQ nor MVP has any idea how many springs, i.e., upland waters, exist on Poor Mountain in Roanoke County, DEQ's "Conditions" requiring the avoidance and protection of upland waters are, unfortunately, not very meaningful, unless and until the springs and headwaters are mapped with LiDAR and confirmed through field reconnaissance. We also understand that "state waters" under Virginia law includes all waters above and below the ground. Thus Virginia's water quality standards apply to both groundwater and surface water. This substantiates our case for a thoroughgoing assessment of the MVP's impacts to springs and associated headwaters, as these bodies represent the point at which our pristine groundwater becomes surface water. Absent a comprehensive effort at mapping and field reconnaissance of the springs and headwaters potentially impacted by the MVP in Roanoke County and elsewhere in the MVP corridor, it would appear to the County that the DEQ is not in a position to issue the Certification for the MVP. Under these circumstances, the County requests that DEQ deny, or delay action on, Certification. Thank you for your attention to the matters discussed in this letter. We look forward to discussing them with you at your earliest convenience. Please do not hesitate to call at me 540/772-2004. Regards, AThoas C.

Page 2 of 2 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER, WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 8, 2017 RESOLUTION ADOPTING A LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM FOR THE 2018 SESSION OF THE VIRGINIA GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND PETITIONING THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO FAVORABLY CONSIDER THE TOPICS AND ISSUES ADDRESSED HEREIN WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County, Virginia, has identified major legislative issues of statewide concern to be considered by the 2018 session of the Virginia General Assembly; and WHEREAS, the Board adopts this resolution as its Legislative Program for the 2018 session of the Virginia General Assembly. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County, Virginia, that the following legislative initiatives are submitted for its legislative program for the 2018 session of the Virginia General Assembly for its favorable consideration and adoption. (1) Transportation. a. The County continues to be concerned about funding for our public highways and roadways, and respectfully requests continued efforts on: • Widening and improving safety on 1-81 between Exit 118 and Exit 150; • Improvements to State Route 419 between U.S. 220 and 1-81, particularly improvements that implement the draft 419 Town Center Plan; Page 1 of 6 • Improvements to State Route 460 with emphasis on increased capacity between 1-581 and Alternate 220; • Safety improvements to U.S. 220 between State Route 419 and Rocky Mount; • Funding for construction of 1-73; • The County supports a robust revenue sharing program with adequate funding to encourage localities to target and improve its critical roadways. b. Smart Scale • While the General Assembly through HB 2313 (2013) addressed transportation needs throughout the Commonwealth ("Smart Scale"), the County also urges a close and ongoing monitoring and evaluation of the Smart Scale model to ensure that local needs are met. • The County urges restored funding for the Six -Year Secondary Road Plan to fill in the gap for general roadways to assist local governments in assuring needed secondary roads to best serve the localities unique needs. • Mandate that Total Cost be used in Smart Scale benefit/cost calculations instead of Smart Scale Request Cost (2) Telecommunications. a. Broadband Page 2 of 6 • The County strongly supports efforts to expand broadband capabilities in underserved and rural areas including protecting and enhancing local authority to deploy broadband or partner with others, public or private, to adequately serve unserved and underserved areas. • Efforts to enhance the deployments of 5G technology must include expansion of high-speed service to rural areas. b. Local land use and wireless • Retain local decision making and authority for siting of telecommunications facilities, including small cell. • Retain local cost recovery fees to adequately review technical industry applications. (2) Opioids. • The County supports all efforts, both state and federal, to support solutions to the opioid crisis facing our citizens. (3) Children's Services Act. • The County supports monitoring the implementation of policies by the State Executive Council that provide guidelines for public participation in its process of developing and adopting policy. The County supports equitable cost-sharing between the state and localities for the costs involved in the placements of children in residential treatment facilities for non -educational reasons. The County opposes proposals to limit state participation in funding services for children and youth who are Page 3 of 6 mandated to be provided with special education and foster care services. (4) Advertising -Public Notices • The advent of social media and other electronic forms of communication has fundamentally reshaped the means for disseminating information to the public. • The County supports legislation that would grant localities greater flexibility to meet certain legal notice requirements including the authority to advertise legal notices on local radio, television or on the locality's website, in lieu of the newspaper advertisement requirement. (5) Law Enforcement and Mental Health • The County strongly supports a sustained focus by the state on Virginia's mental health services system to ensure, through evaluation and investment, that appropriate and effective outpatient and in-patient services are available across the Commonwealth. • The County encourages reforms that provide for alternative placement for local jail inmates with serious mental health issues which should not be left to be addressed by jail personnel. (6) Local Retention of Revenue for Internet based services • In January 2017, the Board adopted a resolution to support federal legislation to collect and remit sales taxes structured on a system of collection based upon the purchaser's location. Page 4 of 6 • The County has a duty to protect its local retailers by leveling the playing field with Internet competitors most notably in the lodging or ride -sharing services. • If the Commonwealth should take action to regulate private enterprises employing a business model that emphasizes the use of the Internet to provide retail or facilitate lodging or ride -sharing services, then local governments should be included in the decision making. • To include local government in the process ensures safety, reliability and access for consumers, providers and the public. • Local governments should regulate the businesses equally whether they are traditional, electronic, Internet -based, virtual or otherwise. (7) State and Local Fiscal Relationship • As the Commonwealth and the Federal governments add new programs, modify existing program guidelines and promulgate complex regulations and higher standards for local governments to implement, then portions of funding inevitably revert to a local burden, i.e. Stormwater regulations. • Local general fund revenue and special funds should not be confiscated or re -directed to the state treasury. (i.e., proposed short term rental taxing) • Specific local revenue authority should not be upended or restricted without granting alternative revenue sources, including Business, Page 5 of 6 Professional, and Occupational Licenses tax and Machinery and Tool tax discussion. • The County requests that local governments be included in study commissions or other bodies formed to review local revenue authority or governance.

E.2 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM: SUBMITTED BY: APPROVED BY: ISSUE: November 8, 2017 Resolution requesting that the President of the United States and the U.S. Congress continue the Federal Historic Tax Credit Program Jill Loope Director of Economic Development Thomas C. Gates County Administrator The recently released House Tax Reform Bill eliminates the federal Historic Tax Credit Program. The elimination of the HTC program threatens a critical incentive needed to revitalize historic properties, attract private capital investment and preserve historic structures. BACKGROUND: The federal HTC is a 30 year old program that encourages historic preservation, stimulates job growth and attracts private capital for the revitalization of historic assets. The program has created over 2.4 million jobs, rehabilitated more than 42,000 buildings, and leveraged $131.8 billion in private investment. Historic tax credits have facilitated significant redevelopment projects in communities, bringing more than $29 billion in federal tax revenues. The federal HTC program served as a valuable incentive to attract new private investment in Roanoke County for the Roland E. Cook and William Byrd school redevelopment projects. DISCUSSION: There is no discussion regarding this agenda item. Page 1 of 2 FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact regarding this agenda item. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution. Page 2 of 2 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER, WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 8, 2017 RESOLUTION REQUESTING THAT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS CONTINUE THE FEDERAL HISTORIC TAX CREDIT PROGRAM WHEREAS, the federal Historic Tax Credit program (HTC) as we know it today was put in place by Congress and the Reagan Administration to attract capital to historic rehabilitation projects that help stimulate local economies; and WHEREAS, since the inception of the HTC, it has created over 2.4 million jobs, rehabilitated more than 42,000 buildings, and leveraged $131.8 billion in private investment; and WHEREAS, recognizing the importance of this successful federal economic development program, more than 35 states have enacted complementary state historic tax credit programs to help revitalize the commercial downtowns of their cities and Main Street communities; and WHEREAS, federal HTC projects have a 99 percent success rate, leverage four private dollars for every dollar of federal support, and are catalytic, building neighborhood confidence and generating follow-on projects for blocks around; and WHEREAS, over the life of this program, the HTC has generated $29.8 billion in federal tax revenues compared to $25.2 billion in credits allocated—more than paying for itself; and WHEREAS, the federal HTC program, combined with the Virginia Historic Tax Credit program is a powerful tool that has led to the development of such vacant and blighted buildings in Roanoke County such as the former Roland E. Cook School building and the former William Byrd High School. Because of these programs, these buildings were returned to a productive reuse and taxable status. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County in due regular and legal session convened, that the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors supports the federal Historic Tax Credit program and urges the President of the United States and the United States Congress to continue the federal Historic Tax Credit program. FURTHER, The Board of Supervisors directs the Clerk to provide attested copies of this resolution to The Honorable Paul Ryan, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, The Honorable Bob Goodlatte, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, The Honorable Mitch McConnell, Senate Majority Leader of the United States Senate, The Honorable Mark Warner, United States Senator, and The Honorable Tim Kaine, United States Senator.
