Description
Chesterfield Director of Environmental Engineering Scott Smedley, Deputy County Administrator for Community Operations Clay Bowles and Virginia Department of Environmental Quality Land Protection Manager Shawn Weimer presented an Environmental Stewardship and Virginia Department of Environmental Quality update to the Board of Supervisors on February 23, 2022.
C
Afternoon,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board,
as
part
of
our
environmental
stewardship
agenda
item,
we
have
deq
here
to
present
a
overview
of
their
programs
and
authorities
within
the
county.
So
first
we
have
sean
weimer,
the
land
protection
manager
and
he
oversees
the
waste
management
programs.
Mr
weimer.
B
D
D
So
here
this
is
just
a
map
of
deq,
as
in
terms
of
our
regional
offices.
I
work
in
our
piedmont
office,
which
is
represented
by
yellow
on
the
map.
We
have
30
counties
that
comprise
the
piedmont
jurisdiction,
which
obviously
includes
chesterfield
in
terms
of
water
programs.
There's
you
know
the
clean
water
act
and
we
have
approximately
81
permitted
viptes
facilities
in
in
chesterfield
county,
so
that
ranges
anywhere
from
wastewater
treatment,
plants
to
industrial
storm
water,
permit
facilities,
proctor's
creek,
fallen
creek.
Those
are
some
of
your
large
wastewater
treatment
plants.
D
D
D
So
when
a
somebody
needs
to
apply
for
a
application,
they
submit
the
plans
and
the
registration
statement
to
the
county,
and
then
the
county
works
with
deq
dq,
actually
issues
the
permits
so
there's
some
coordination
with
our
central
office
and
then
that
construction,
storm
water,
general
permit
is
issued
and
then
also
another
construction
related
permit
is
our
vwp
permits,
which
is
virginia
water
protection
program.
There's
approximately
155,
general
and
individual
permits
currently
in
the
county
and
those
general
permits
are
dependent
on
the
size
of
the
impacts.
D
D
D
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
talk
briefly
about
some
of
the
differences
between
sanitary
and
construction
demolition
debris.
Landfills
with
sanitary
landfills,
like
shoesmith
they're,
required
to
put
up
put
on
six
inches
of
daily
cover
every
day,
whereas
at
a
cdd
landfill.
The
the
cover
requirement
is
at
the
end
of
the
work
week
with
one
foot
they
can
cover
more,
but
in
terms
of
the
regular
regulatory
requirements
it's
once
per
week.
D
Landfill
gas
management
plans
are
required
at
both
types
of
landfills,
unless
there's
demonstration
that
a
cdd
landfill
isn't
going
to
produce
methane
gas
but,
for
example,
there's
a
landfill
gas
management
plan
in
place
at
skin
quarter
and
they
have
monitoring
probes
to
measure
methane
that
might
be
potentially
migrating
off-site.
So
there's
there's
probes
at
the
at
the
facility
boundary
for
that
purpose.
D
Leachate,
control
and
groundwater
monitoring
is
required
at
both.
So
at
these
facilities
they
have
systems
in
place
to
collect
the
leachate,
and
then
it's
usually
pumped
and
hauled
either
off-site
to
like
a
wastewater
treatment
plant
or
they
might
have
a
direct
discharge
to
a
sanitary
line
that
goes
to
a
wastewater
treatment
plant
and
then
groundwater's.
Groundwater
monitoring
is
required
at
both
facilities
as
well.
So
there's
a
monitoring
network,
that's
in
place
at
all.
D
D
You
know
when
we
come
out
to
do
an
inspection
and
then
leachate
collection,
we're
we're
always
looking
at
the
records
just
to
see
how
much
leachate
they're
generating
making
sure
that
it's
going
off-site
to
a
proper
disposal
facility
like
a
wastewater
treatment,
plant
gas
monitoring,
we're
evaluating
the
the
gas
data
to
make
sure
that
there's
no
exceedances
of
methane
above
the
lower
expo
explosion
limit
at
the
facility
boundary,
which
is
five
percent
methane,
is
the
lel
unauthorized.
Waste
facilities
are
required
to
do
random
load
inspections.
D
To
make
sure
that
what's
coming
in
is,
is
what's
allowed,
it's
a
there's,
a
requirement
for
a
certain
amount
of
in-state
waste
to
be
evaluated
and
also
the
amount
of
out-of-state
waste
to
be
evaluated.
The
numbers
increase
without
a
state.
I
think
it's
one
percent
of
the
loads
for
in-state
and
10
percent
for
out-of-state
loads,
and
we
review
that
information
to
make
sure
say
a
a
municipal
or
cdd
facility
is
not
receiving
municipal.
You
know
waste,
that's
part
of
our
inspection
process.
D
Absolutely
absolutely
and
we
evaluate
that
when
we
do
inspections
and
then
in
some
cases
a
cdd
facility
will
receive
a
load
of
municipal
solid
waste
and
they
they
have
to
reject
that
load
and
then
send
it
to
a
facility.
That's
permitted
to
to
accept
it.
So
they
could
send
it
to
shoesmith,
for
example,
if
they
receive
a
load
of
msw
and
we're
looking
for
that
documentation
as
well.
When
we're
doing
an
inspection
like
okay,
they
to
see
if
they
received
a
load
of
msw
on
this
date
and
how
they
handled
it.
F
So
relating
to
those
inspections
that
that
they
actually
have
records
that
they
have
to
keep
themselves
because
it's
self
inspecting
right.
Yes,
other
videos
are
there
pictures
what
type
of
records
are
actually
kept
for
the
for
your
organization
to
inspect.
When
you
come
in
to
look
at
what
has
actually
been
dumped
on
site.
D
It's
paper
records.
I'm
not
aware
that
there's
any
video
footage
of
them
doing
say
a
random
load
inspection.
We
do
our
own
random
load
inspections,
if
you
will,
when
we,
when
we're
out
on
site.
So
when
we're
on
site
inspectors
are
looking
at
the
trucks
coming
in.
You
know
physically
dumping
the
waste
on
the
the
working
face
and
then
inspectors
are
walking
around
the
working
face
and
they're.
Looking
at
the
waste
that's
been
dumped.
D
You
know
dumped
there
recently
to
evaluate
whether
there's
any
any
msw
in
it
any
anything
that
that
potentially
is
hazardous.
Any
regulated
medical
waste
like
if
you
see
like
a
red
bag.
You
know,
that's
a
that's,
that's
a
concern!
So
it's
it's
being
done
and
it's
it's!
It's
documented
via
paper,
and
you
know
computers,
but
it's
it's
not
recorded
as
as
far
as
I
know,.
F
So,
there's
really
no
way
you
know,
what's
under
the
pile,
unless
you
were
there
to
inspect
it,
we're
trusting
that
they're
actually
reporting.
What's
actually
going
in
honestly,
that's
correct.
There
has
been
mischief.
I
can
continue
please
more
complaints
than
I
can
even
count.
I
suppose,
if
I
sat
down
for
an
hour
or
two,
I
might
be
able
to
total
them
all
up
about
the
skin
quarter
landfill.
F
F
D
D
One
of
the
things
that
I've
seen
facilities
do
before
when
they
have
say
an
odor
management
plan
in
place
is
they
might
have
that
might
be
part
of
their
order
management
plan
where
they
have
a
company
come
in
and
install
h2s
monitors
that
are
you
know,
reading
that
data
continuously,
so
that
they
know
at
different
times
of
the
day,
what
type
of
h2s
readings
they're
getting
on
site
or
off
site.
So.
F
D
It
it
could
be
so
the
way
that
works
is
once
deq
requests
a
facility
to
develop
an
order
management
plan.
They
submit
a
plan
to
us.
We
look
at
it,
offer
some
feedback.
You
know
on
on
the
plan
and
we
have
a
kind
of
open
dialogue
on
you
know
what
we
would
recommend
be
included
in
the
plan
and,
in
fact,
we're
we're
planning
an
upcoming
meeting
out
at
skin
quarter.
D
We
wanted
to
do
it
last
week,
but
actually
their
consultant
wasn't
going
to
be
available
until
the
week
after
this
so
hopefully
next
week,
we're
going
to
be
getting
together
and
meeting
with
facility
personnel
out
at
skin
quarter.
To
talk
about
you
know
the
long-term
plans,
as
it
relates
to
addressing
odor
issues
out
there.
So.
F
D
F
F
This
type
of
gas,
even
osha,
requires
for
long-term
exposure
for
employees
to
actually
have
take
protective
measures
to
protect
themselves
from
exposure,
and
so,
if
we're
not
monitoring
the
levels
that's
coming
out,
we
have
no
idea
what
we're
exposing
our
people
to
out
there
and
for
how
long
and
it's
a
real
big
concern.
So
what
happens
when
someone
calls
the
eq
and
makes
a
complaint
and
like
I'm,
not
trying
to
be
mean
here,
but
not.
D
We
document
all
the
complaints
and
we
have
them
all
in
our
electronic
database.
So
we
keep
track
of
them
and
we
monitor
those
you
know
and
no
notate
them
when
we
go
out
to
do
our
next
inspection
report
or
and
next
inspection,
so
on
a
quarterly
basis,
we're
tracking
that
information
and
we've
been
doing
that
with
with
skin
quarter
and
in
the
case
of
skin
quarter.
You
know:
we've
met
with
the
facility.
D
They
have
a
remediation
system
on
site,
that's
pulling
gas
from
the
landfill
and
it's
putting
it
through
like
a
bio
filter,
and
we
learned
recently
that
in
fact,
we
just
went
out
there
and
did
an
inspection
on
february,
7th,
quarterly
inspection
and
routine
inspection.
And
we
learned
that
they
are
making
changes
to
that
system.
D
And
that
was
the
first
thing
we
learned
of
that.
So
that's
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
want
to
have
a
meeting
with
them
to
kind
of
figure
out
what
their
plans
are
moving
forward
over
the
long
term
and
then
also
to
discuss
the
the
possibility
of
requiring
the
facility
to
put
together
an
odor
management
plan.
F
F
D
F
No,
no,
it
is
helpful
what
I
understand
that
you
said
that
they
have
water
quality
testing,
that
they
do,
I'm
assuming
they
have
test
wells
on
site
that
they
test.
Is
there
any
other
options
for
people
who
live
in
the
community,
who
are
afraid
that
something
may
be
leaching
out
into
their
into
the
groundwater
into
their
wells
and
do
or
does
your
organization
do
any
testing
like
that,
for
example,
downstream
sepone
creek
is
downstream
from
this
landfill?
D
D
D
H
H
D
H
D
You're
exactly
right
and
they
have
a
large
tank
on
site.
Don't
quote
me
on
this:
it's
probably
500
000
gallons,
it's
a
large
tank
and
their
system
directs
their
leachate.
That's
collected,
you
know
under
under
the
cells,
directs
it
to
that
tank,
and
then
they
have
tanker
trunks
that
are
coming
in
and
filling
up
the
leachate
and
then
hauling
it
off
to
a
permanent
wastewater
treatment
facility,
which.
H
H
D
It's
really
it's
really
the
county,
so
the
county
would
issue
a
pre-treatment
permit
and
and
then
deq's
involved
with
evaluating
a
locality's
pre-treatment
program.
But
it's
the
locality
that
issues
the
permit
limits.
You
know
for
that
discharger
and
it's
usually
the
county.
That's
going
out
and
inspecting
that
facility
to
make
sure
what
they're
sending
to
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
is.
Is
okay,.
H
H
D
H
Well,
I'm
glad
you're
already
working
on
that,
but
citizens
are
I.
I
have
definitely
received
complaints
since
then
multiple
times
that
people
can't
even
see
the
lines
on
the
road
and
that's
such
a
safety
hazard.
We
just
need
to
figure
that
out.
I
thought
maybe
wheel
wash
it's
expensive,
but
it
may
be
the
best
way
they
could
keep
that
material
on
site
and
not
track
it
off
the
site.
D
H
H
F
D
It's
a
great
point
and
one
that
I
actually
wanted
to
make
myself.
We
have
two
solid
waste
inspectors
in
my
program.
That's
responsible
for
those
30
counties.
We
have
approximately
80
solid
waste
facilities.
That
includes
active
landfills,
closed
landfills
and
then
also
the
pbr,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
so
there's
80
facilities.
D
Those
two
inspectors
are,
you
know
you
saw
the
map
earlier
they're
going
to
to
the
to
the
northern
neck,
and
you
know
all
over
that
that
region
inspecting
those
facilities
and
in
terms
of
workload,
that's
why
we
kind
of
are
able
to
get
out
to
these
facilities.
As
you
know,
as
often
as
we
do
so
quarterly
you
know
is,
is
kind
of
the
baseline
for
an
active
landfill,
some
of
the
pbr
facilities.
We
don't
go
out
to
as
often
based
on
their
compliance,
history
and
their
operations.
F
In
case
you
had
to
increase
your
inspections
as
an
example
for
this
location,
whether
you
want
to
do,
for
example,
surprise,
inspection
in
the
morning
and
all
the
trucks
that
are
lined
up
on
hull
street
waiting
to
get
in
the
dump
to
see,
what's
actually
in
the
trucks
which
is
again
what
people
have
been
calling
for
to
happen
so
that,
because
once
it's
under
the
ground
and
once
it's
covered,
the
smell
eventually
comes
out
of
the
ground.
But
you
guys
have
no
idea
what
was
put
on
the
dirt.
D
So
I
know
it's
confusing
when,
when
the
public
sees
that
msw
label
on
there,
but
we've
investigated
that
several
on
several
occasions
and
heck,
I
think
when
I
was
out
there
one
time
with
an
inspector,
we
saw
a
truck
come
in
with
msw
and
we
watched
it
dump
and
there
was
nothing
but
cdd
in
there.
So
you
know
we
can
help
with
that
message.
If
folks
continue
to
to
believe
there's
msw
going
in
there.
Sorry.
F
When
you
do
it,
they
do
the
inspections.
You
said
most
of
the
inspections
of
paper.
Do
they
actually
keep
a
record
of
what
percentage
of
their
loads
could
actually
be
sheetrock
as
it
was
presented
by
the
applicant
when
they
applied
for
this
permit?
They
said
that
the
the
loads
would
be
limited
to
three
percent.
D
In
terms
of
a
breakdown
of
the
different
materials,
I'd
have
to
get
back
with
you
on
that,
mr
carroll,
I
I
don't
believe
that
they're
evaluating
the
loads
to
determine
what
percentage
is
sheet
rock.
I
do
know
that
they're
not
supposed
to
receive
any
designated.
You
know
full
loads
of
sheep
rock
at
one
time,
they're
not
supposed
to
have
a
load
come
in
there.
That's
all
sheet
rock
and
I'd
have
to
get
back
to
you
on
the
on
on
whether
they
do
keep
records
of
okay.
D
B
I
I
B
Fine,
so
from
june
2017
to
september
2021,
there's
been
about
5
000,
give
or
take
complaints
about
odor
at
shoesmith,
and
so
my
question
really
just
deals
with
how
deq
enforces
odor
and
you've
gone
into
some
of
that
some
when
an
air
sample
is
taken
where
who
takes
that
air
sample
and
the
chemical
content
of
that
air
sample
has
got
to
be
reported.
I'm
sure
somehow,
where
is
that
data
and
who
keeps
that
data?
Does
deq,
keep
that
data,
or
is
it
sort
of
different
depending
on
what
it
is?
B
B
D
Yes,
I
can
I'll
check
to
see
whether
they
have
so
with
skin
quarter.
It's
a
title,
five
facility,
so
they
have
an
air
permit
and
they
have
an
odor
management
plan,
that's
required
by
the
the
title
v
regulations.
It's
also
addressed
in
their
solid
waste
permit
as
well,
but
they
have
to
submit
an
annual
report
to
us.
B
B
D
D
In
fact,
I
you
know
not
not,
too
long
ago,
I
received
a
foia
where
they
were
looking
for
some
information
that
I
think
it
was
more
data
that
the
landfill
would
have
versus
data
that
was
submitted
to
deq
something
similar,
but
I
think
it
was
a
little
different
but
I'll
I'll
look
into
those
questions
as
it
relates
to
our
air
program.
I
think
that'll
help
you
know,
help
help
you
out
a
little
bit.
E
G
Man,
the
questions
and
comments
have
already
been
made
quite
well
regarding
our
roads.
Thank
you,
mr
ingle.
Regarding
air
quality.
Thank
you
miss
chair.
That
was
my
question
in
terms
of
accountability.
One
question
I
have
I
heard
about
the
staff.
I
appreciate
the
question:
do
you
think
you
have
adequate
staff
or
you
think
you
need
more
to
do
more
robust
testing,
especially
as
it
relates
to
air
quality
and
the
chemical
composition
of
the
air
quality.
D
I
think
we
need
additional
staff.
Okay,
one
of
the
things
you
know-
and
I
was
discussing
this
with
scott
earlier
one
of
the
things
our
agency
is
is
working
through.
Is
you
know
oftentimes
when
we
hire
positions?
The
most
qualified
people
are
internal
candidates,
so
you
have
a
lot
of
folks
kind
of
moving
from
one
position
to
another,
and
then
we
also
are
dealing
with
a
lot
of
retirements
in
in
the
agency
as
well.
D
G
Yeah
I
appreciate
that
coming
and
of
course,
hopefully
we
can
do
all
we
can
scott
as
well
to
help
the
new
administration,
the
new
general
assembly,
to
make
sure
we
fund
the
needed
positions
that
need
to
be
funded
and
up
and
coming
so
with
your
department.
So
thanks
for
suggesting
that-
and
we
look
forward
to
working
on
you
to
achieve
that
goals.
But
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
being.
B
J
I
I
would
take
as
an
example,
maybe
a
follow-up
and
homework
assignment.
You
know
and
again,
what's
our
role
as
a
county
in
informal
letters,
formal
letters
from
from
board
members
to
again
advocate
for
odor
management
plans
and
and
what
may
be
our
perception
of
a
scope
of
such
plan
that
may
be
maybe
beyond
what
the
current
rules
are
and
then
I
think
we
also
recognize
the
fact
that
we
can,
in
the
same
letter
or
request
of
deq
officials
or
the
hierarchies,
is
recognized.
J
J
D
Well-
and
you
know-
I
guess
I'll
just
say
I've
I
feel
like
I-
have
I've
only
been
in
this
position
for
about
two
and
a
half
years.
I
feel
like.
I
have
a
good
working
relationship
with
chesterfield.
I've
worked
a
lot
with
jeff
howard.
I
don't
know
if
you
are
familiar
with
him,
but
he
and
I
kind
of
keep
each
other
updated
on
things
and
that's
worked
out
pretty
well.
L
Good
afternoon,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board,
dr
casey,
my
name
is
alex
deyes.
I
work
for
the
department
of
utilities
as
a
water
quality
manager.
Just
like
mr
morris
said
I
am
very
proud
to
be
here,
to
provide
you
an
overview
on
how
chesterfield
county
protects
the
environment
through
our
industrial
waste
pre-treatment
program,
and
let
me
tell
you
this
program
remains
a
success
due
to
the
support
that
we
receive
from
the
board,
and
for
that
we
would
like
to
express
our
gratitude.
L
L
It's
a
federally
mundated
program.
Part
of
the
clean
water
act
in
the
purpose
of
the
program
is
to
protect
aquatic
life
by
preventing
the
introduction
of
pollutants
into
the
wastewater
system
that
may
either
bypass
or
interfere
with
our
treatment
plans,
also
to
protect
the
quality
of
our
biosolids,
the
collection
system
and
the
health
and
the
safety
of
our
workers.
L
L
L
Plant,
so
what
happens
when
an
industrial
facility
wants
to
connect
to
the
source
system,
they
have
to
go
through
a
permitting
process.
That
starts
with
a
discharge
application
on
the
screen.
You
can
see
a
list
of
some
of
the
things
that
are
required
in
that
application
and
instead
of
reading
through
those
I'm
going
to
tell
you
as
an
inspector,
what
are
we
looking
for?
L
L
What
are
their
end
products?
Do
they
have
any
by-products
or
do
they
generate
any
waste
that
they
need
to
dispose
of
if
water
is
used
in
their
manufacturing
process,
we
want
to
know
how
is
it
used?
What
are
the
characteristics
of
the
wastewater
that
they
will
be
sending
to
us?
What
type
of
pollutants
are
present?
L
What
are
the
concentrations
and
whether
or
not
there's
any
specific
regulations
that
apply
to
those
pollutants,
or
maybe
to
the
whole
industrial
sector
if
they
are
proposing
to
have
a
pre-treatment
program?
I'm
sorry
a
pre-treatment
system
to
remove
some
of
those
pollutants.
We
also
want
to
know
what's
involved
in
in
that
process,
and
how
are
they
planning
to
maintain
that
that
system.
L
If
the
project
is
approved,
then
pretreatment
staff
takes
over
the
permit
writing
process.
Our
permits
include
general
information,
general
requirements
that
basically
mirror
what's
written
in
the
sewer
ordinance,
but
very
specific
requirements
for
the
facilities,
such
as
flow
limitations,
local
limits,
categorical
standards,
self-monitoring
requirements
and
reporting
requirements
once
they
are
in
our
program.
L
The
facility
is
required
to
self-monitor
their
wastewater
on
a
continuous
basis
and
they
send
laboratory
reports
to
us
every
three
months.
In
addition
to
them
self-monitoring.
We
are
required
by
deq
to
monitor
their
wastewater
too
on
the
screen.
You
can
see
one
of
our
compliance
technicians
doing
a
sampling
event
in
2021
pre-treatment
staff
conducted
about
165
sampling
events
at
our
industrial
facilities.
L
If
we
detect
any
non-compliance,
we
have
an
enforcement
response
plan
that
we
have
to
follow.
That
plan
has
been
approved
by
the
eq
as
well,
and
the
enforcement
actions
vary
from
a
simple
verbal
or
written
warning.
Depending
on
on
the
severity
of
the
non-compliance,
we
can
escalate
it
to
a
formal
notice
of
violation
and
for
chronic
violations.
L
L
Instead
of
being
just
the
regulator
chesterfield
county
one
wants
to
be
a
partner
with
our
industrial
facilities.
It's
a
win-win
situation.
If
we
can
help
them
be
successful
at
what
they
do
and
at
the
same
time
they
comply
with
our
requirements,
and
that
is
the
reason
why
chesterfield
county
has
established
an
awards
program
for
our
facilities
in
this
under
the
pre-treatment
program.
L
As
you
can
see
on
the
screen,
we
have
our
director,
mr
hayes
assistant
director
dr
morris,
our
pre-treatment
program
manager,
abba
sharma
who's
here
with
us
today,
and
compliance
specialist
chris
derose
presenting
an
award
at
the
folks
at
the
defense
supply
center
regiment,
and
with
that
said,
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
time.
This
concludes
my
presentation
and
I'll
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
C
All
right
well.
That
concludes
my
presentation.
Thank
you
for
your
time
today,
good
afternoon
again,
mr
chair
members
of
the
board,
I'd
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
kind
of
review
some
of
the
environmental
stewardship
aspects
of
specifically
the
swift
creek
watershed
with
some
of
the
upcoming
zoning
cases.
I
think
it's
important
to
talk
about
where
we've
been
over
the
last
couple
of
decades,
where
we
are
today
and
some
of
the
things
that
we
need
to
keep
in
place
and
keep
in
mind
as
we
move
forward.
C
We're
gonna
get
there
all
right,
so
you
know,
roughly
20
years
ago
we
adopted
some
more
stringent
standards
for
the
upper
swift
creek
watershed.
One
of
those
was
to
have
an
increased
phosphorus
removal
requirement
for
new
development
projects,
and
this
mainly
pertained
to
residential
projects.
So
commercial
projects
still
met
the
state
standard,
but
residential
projects
had
to
meet
a
higher
threshold
of
phosphorus
removal.
C
Also,
all
projects
needed
to
have
enhanced
erosion
and
sediment
control
during
construction.
So
when
you
see
sediment
basins
on
a
construction
site
in
the
upper
swift,
creek
watershed,
they
have
to
be
25
percent
larger
so
that
we're
capturing
even
more
of
that
sediment
runoff
before
it
leaves
the
site
also
super
salt
fence
or
an
equivalent
anionic
pam,
which
traps
more
sediment
and
also
flexible
growth
medium.
C
So,
if
you
ever
seen
hydro
seed
getting
sprayed
out
well,
it's
kind
of
like
a
hydro
seed
with
wood
fibers
in
it,
and
it
is
a
stronger
you
know,
hydroseed
product
and
it'll.
You
know
allow
vegetation
to
grow
more
rapidly.
Also
in
the
upper
swift
creek
watershed,
we
have
increased
setbacks
from
the
resource
protection
areas.
So
standard
setbacks
are
25
foot
all
across
the
county,
but
in
the
upper
swift
creek
watershed
we
have
a
35
foot
setback
requirement.
Mr.
E
E
B
C
C
Okay?
Is
you
also?
There
are
increased
floodplain
setback
requirements
so
for
properties
that
have
more
than
100
acres
draining
to
the
stream
behind
their
property.
We
have
a
35-foot
setback
as
compared
to
a
25-foot
setback,
so
these
increased
setbacks,
push
development
further
away
from
our
bodies
of
water,
reducing
the
risk
of
runoff
than
to
those
associated
drainage
ways.
C
C
Historical
archaeological
features
also
need
to
be
identified
so
that
all
needs
to
be
done
at
the
zoning
stage
rather
than
at
the
construction
plan
review
stage
so
outside
of
the
upper
swift
creek
watershed
in
the
other
areas
of
the
county.
Typically,
that's
all
done
once
a
plan
is
submitted
for
review,
but
in
the
episode
freak
watershed
we
want
those
things
identified
during
the
zoning.
C
C
C
C
C
So
that's
some
of
the
you
know
background
related
to
criteria
for
development.
I
do
want
to
talk
about
the
actual
nutrient
and
water
quality
component.
So,
as
I
mentioned,
we
had
an
increased
phosphorus
removal
requirement
for
the
upper
swift,
creek
watershed
and
then
in
2014
we
had
a
change
in
the
stormwater
sector
and,
as
the
deq
representative,
mr
weimer
mentioned,
chesterfield
county
is
the
vsnp
authority.
You
might
remember
when
we
adopted
that
ordinance
and
we
you
know,
took
on
that
program
to
review
the
stormwater
plans
and
issue
those
construction
permits.
C
Do
the
inspections
and
so
the
difference
going
from
the
pre-2014
water
quality
removal
requirements
to
the
post.
2014
you
can
see
is
that
you're
treating
twice
the
amount
of
water.
So
you're,
going
from
a
half
an
inch
of
rainfall,
you're,
treating
just
from
the
impervious
areas
to
treating
one
inch
of
rainfall
over
the
entire
site,
so
you're
not
just
capturing
the
runoff
from
the
streets,
you're
capturing
the
runoff
from
the
managed
turf,
the
streets
any
associated.
C
You
know,
runoff
from
the
property
and
you're
treating
it
to
remove
the
phosphorus.
So
that's
a
big
plus
for
the
upper
surf
creek
watershed
because
you
might
remember,
I
said
we
weren't
treating
the
commercial
sites
to
a
higher
standard.
But
now
we
are
so
any
new
commercial
projects
that
have
occurred
since
2014
in
the
upper
swift
creek
watershed
have
to
meet
a
much
more
stringent
standard,
and
these
new
2014
stormwater
rags
are
on
par
with
our
previous
requirements.
C
For
the
phosphorus
removal.
The
engineers
doing
projects
in
the
upper
surf,
creek
watershed
for
residential
still
have
to
run
the
calculations
both
ways
but
most
of
the
time
they're
within
95
percent
of
each
other.
So
having
commercial
properties
and
industrial
properties
that
have
to
meet
this
stringent
standard
is,
is
pretty
significant
and
it's
more
protective
of
the
reservoir.
F
C
So
you
have
phosphorus
naturally
occurring
in
the
soils
and
it
gets
bound
to
the
sediment
particles,
and
you
know
you
get
runoff.
You
know
in
that
way.
In
addition,
you
know
the
amount
of
residential
landscape
that
we
have
and
the
turf
management
aspect
of
you
know
personal
property
owners.
You
know
taking
care
of
their
lawns
lawn
care
companies
taking
care
of
you
know,
residential
properties.
C
You
get
quite
a
significant
amount
of
runoff
from
those
activities
and
you
know
you
can
see
it
in
the
storm
water
facilities,
the
ponds
that
we
maintain,
particularly
in
the
summertime.
The
algal
blooms
are
significant,
they're
doing
their
job
they're,
removing
those
nutrients,
phosphorus
and
nitrogen,
but
it's
pretty
significant.
C
C
You
also,
you
know,
do
get
sediment.
You
know
that
gets
accumulated
on
parking
lots
and
you
get
phosphorus
bound
to
that
sediment,
but
typically
you're
going
to
find
that
the
residential
lawns,
the
maintenance
of
those
is
going
to
have
higher
phosphorus
loads,
and
that
was
one
of
the
reasons.
The
way
the
ordinance
was
adopted
at
that
time,.
F
Yes,
sir,
so
parking
lots
pose
a
different
risk
right.
So
if
you
have
a
car,
for
example,
that
has
a
leak
oil
pan
or
a
leaky
gas
line
or
a
leaky
power
steering
fluid
or
any
other
fluid
for
that
matter,
and
that
stuff
actually
gets
in
the
parking
lot
when
it
rains
that
actually
washes
and
that's
a
different
issue
than
necessarily
the
phosphorus
stuff
and
the
bmps
we
put
in
place.
I'm
assuming
that
that
is
designed
also
to
kind
of
prevent
that
from
getting
in
a
water
supply.
C
So
if
we
see
a
project,
that's
going
to
have
a
higher
risk
of
petroleum
runoff,
you
some
of
you
may
remember
certain
proffers
that
we've
asked
for
that,
provide
some
bio,
filtration
or
binding
of
those
petroleum
products.
Typically,
we
don't
ask
for
those
type
of
things
on
standard
parking
lot
runoff.
But
you
are
correct.
You
know.
If
you
go
out
to
a
parking
lot,
storm
water
facility,
you,
you
know
more
likely
see
potential
of
a
sheen,
sometimes
in
those
areas
as
compared
to
going
into
a
residential
neighborhood
and
looking
at
a
storm
water.
C
C
C
If
the
reservoir
isn't
treated
with
algaecides
to
control
algae,
then
you
strictly
just
look
at
chlorophyll,
but
since
utility
departments
manages
the
reservoir
for
the
water
quality,
they
do
spot
treat
areas
in
the
reservoir
for
algal
blooms,
and
so,
as
such
phosphorus
is
included
in
that
and
phosphorus
becomes
your
dictating
criteria.
So
to
speak,
that
you
want
to
look
at,
and
the
utilities
department
has
done
an
excellent
job
over
the
years.
You
know
with
their
monitoring
in
the
reservoir
and
then
we
take
that
data
and
produce
an
annual
report.
C
So
in
2020
the
phosphorus
measured
in
the
reservoir
was
.031
and
the
threshold
for
concern
is
.04,
and
if
you
have
two
years
of
0.04
measured
by
deq,
not
the
county,
then
deq
will
you
know,
look
at
it
more
closely
and
decide
whether
it's
an
impaired
water
body.
So
the
reservoir
is
50
years
old.
We've
got
50
years
of
development
around
the
reservoir.
C
We
have
protective
measures
put
in
place
and
we
still
have
excellent
water
quality
and
a
very
healthy
ecosystem,
and
that's
no
message
to
understate,
because
we
have
had
very
significant
growth
in
that
part
of
the
county,
and
I
think
it's
you
know
proven
that
the
measures
that
we
have
in
place
are
protective
of
water
quality
and
the
ecosystem
out
there.
I
also
mentioned
that
utils
has
done
an
excellent
job
of
managing
hydrilla
in
the
reservoir.
C
You
know,
they've
managed
it
in
such
a
way
that
it's
you
know,
you're
not
seeing
vast
swings
in
water
quality
and
you're.
Not
seeing
vast
swings
in
the
vegetation,
the
natural
vegetation
aquatic
vegetation
and
you're,
not
seeing
you
know
massive
swings
in
the
fish
population,
so
it's
very
important
that
we
take
all
these
things
into
consideration.
C
C
Lastly,
for
mr
winslow
tree
canopy,
thank
you
so
much
my
my
annual
plug
for
as
you
look
at
zoning
cases
and
the
importance
of
planning
in
our
residential
neighborhoods
the
importance
of
tree
canopy,
and
you
know
in
livable
communities.
Aesthetically
pleasing
you
know.
Not
only
is
it
that,
but
from
a
storm
water
perspective,
these
tree
canopies
really
do
go
a
long
way
to
reducing
runoff
slowing
runoff
in
our
residential
communities.
B
Thank
you,
and-
and
you
know
we
did
pass
a
little.
I
didn't
get
any
fair
fanfare
for
it,
I
would
say,
but
we
did
pass
an
ordinance
a
couple
of
years
ago,
that
required
street
trees
in
the
upper
swift,
creek
watershed,
and
so
this
is
these
types
of
efforts,
as
well
as
the
county's,
long-standing
commitment
and
that
ordinance
pass.
B
That
jet
was
cited
earlier,
really
done
a
nice
job,
and
you
just
have
to
look
at
this
and
go
our
utilities
department
and
our
environmental
engineering
department
are
doing
a
fantastic
job
for
citizens
when
it
comes
to
water,
quality
and
longevity
of
a
reservoir.
That,
as
you
point
out,
is,
I
guess,
celebrating
its
its
50-year
mark.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Scott.
I
We're
also
have
a
major
maintenance
project
now
underway
to
improve
exterior
lighting
on
the
county
complex,
as
well
as
in
the
outlying
facilities
beyond
energy
management
and
cost-saving
benefits.
These
projects
are
going
to
enhance
security
for
our
employees
and
visitors
to
the
county
facilities,
as
well
as
reduce
maintenance
requirements
for
for
buildings
and
grounds.
I
B
Board
members,
thank
you
clay,
and
I
also
want
to
thank
staff
because
I
know
we've
had
some
good
conversations
recently
about
replacing
traditional
street
lights
with
what
am
I
trying
to
say:
energy,
efficient
bulbs
and-
and
so
I
appreciate
very
much
those
efforts
going
on
and
and
all
of
the
work
in
this
area,
because
it's
important
long
term
as
it's
been
mentioned
by
citizens
in
front
of
this
body.
So
thanks
very
much
for
that
appreciate.
Thank
you.
