ITEM # 37199 City of Virginia Beach WILLIAM D SESSOMS JR VICE MAYOR 809 GREENTREE ARCH VIRGINIA BEACH VIRGINIA 23451 (804) 455 5732 September 14, 1993 Mrs. Ruth Hodges Smith, CMC/AAE City Clerk's Office Municipal Center Virginia Beach, VA 23456 Re: Conflict of Interests Act Dear Mrs. Smith: In accordance with my letter to you dated August 10, 1993, I have thoroughly reviewed the agenda for the September 14, 1993, meeting of City Council for the purpose of identifying any matters in which I might have an actual or potential conflict under the Virginia Conflict of Interests Act. Based on that review, please be advised that, to the best of my knowledge, with the exception of the application of Sea Bay Development Corporation which was deferred and on which I abstained, there are no matters on the agenda in which I have a "personal interest," as defined in the Act, either individually or in my capacity as an officer of Central Fidelity Bank. Accordingly, I respectfully request that you record this letter in the official records of the Council. Thank you for your assistance and cooperation in this matter. Very truly yours, William D. Sessonts Vice-Mayor , Jr. WDS,Jr./dmc -3- CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFINGS EXCEPTIONAL WATERS ITEM # 37199 (Continued) There were already two categories existing in the antidegradation policy relative protection of waters. This third category was added in 1992 which sets up the procedure whereby waters may be designated as Exceptional. Forty-five nominations have been received Fifteen have been withdrawn by nominators, after conferring with local government officials. The North Landing River nomination was submitted on November 16, 1992. The Department needs to evaluate these nominations to determine if they are adhering to the basic criteria in the regulation. After a general review, it was determined fifteen of the thirty outstanding nominations have provided enough information, so an evaluation can be made as to their eligibility. This designation of Exceptional Waters requires the Department to go through the State Administration Process Act. This process involves public participation. After careful review, if some of the waters are determined eligible, the Department will go to the Board requesting Public Hearing. Then, the Department will go back to the Board and request adoption or denial of the nominations. Effective July 1, 1993, there were statutory changes to the State Administrative process. These changes are much broader than just Exceptional Waters, it opens up the entire Water Quality Standards' regulation to comment. Miss Gregory advised the earliest nominations could be presented to the Board would be October 25, 1993. They will probably start with nominations that are more clear cut and less controversial to have a positive commencement to the program. Hearings would be held in the first part of 1994, if nominations were brought forward in October with a mid to late 1994 adoption. After the thirty nominations have been processed, the Department will possibly nominate some waters, which seem appropriate to the agency. There is a 60-day comment period. If the City should request, there may be a Public Meeting prior to the Public Hearing. Therefore, there are at least two extra times to comment. Even after adoption of the nomination by the Board, there is a thirty day waiting period. The General Assembly or the Governor may stop the process by advising they wish to address same at their next meeting of the General Assembly. If changes have been made in the language since the nomination went to Public Hearing, twenty-five citizens can write and request another Public Hearing. Once the regulation is finally effective, it must be submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency for approval. Until the water body is actually designated and effective as an amendment to the regulations, the water body is not provided any special protection. The intent of this designation is to set aside waters for protection from degradation. After official designation, the only way an Exceptional Water designation can be removed is due to a technical or procedural error when adopting the regulation. The initial designation of a water body is based on three decision criteria which are evaluated at the staff level. Miss Gregory advised the following steps of the process: Notify potential impacted parties including local governments before going to Public Hearing. Assess environmental benefits, as well as economic impacts. All correspondence will be included in the official file for the Public Hearings on a specific nomination. There is a Comment Period of 60 days with a Public Hearing in the area of Nomination. This Hearing is held by a Board Member representing that area. The Board is comprised of 7 Members, appointed by the respective Governors for staggered 4-year terms. The entire Board will make a decision at a Public Meeting in Richmond, based on public comment, decision criteria and EPA review, whether or not to designate the water body at their Board Meeting. September 14, 1993 -4- CITY MAN,4GER'S BRIEFINGS EXCEPTIONAL WATERS ITEM # 37199 (Continued) The Environmental Protection Agency Guidance Document in 1991 advised once a water body is designated as an exceptional water, there can be no new or increases in discharges to those discharges already existing. New mixing zones or an increase in mixing zones would also be prohibited. The regulation only addresses permitted discharges that are new or expanded. Concerning construction of water conveyance structures, a development could occur in this zone on land, as quite often sewerage is connected to a regional sewage plant outside of the immediate area of the county. It would be possible to pipe that material to a regional sewerage treatment plant, pipe it outside of the zone designated as an exceptional waterway and either discharge it upstream or downstream of that zone. Water intakes and water withdrawals are allowed. Water quantity is not regulated. Diversion of polluted waters would also be allowed around that zone. For a water treatment plant, the stream backwash would be allowed to be discharged, but the f'dter backwash would not be allowed. Nonpoint source impacts are addressed through suggesting the implementation of cost effective and regional best management practices would be considered compliance with the nonpoint source section of the regulation. Farmers and other contributors to nonpoint source impacts are urged to utilize the most effective best management practices available; however, there are no regulatory requirements outside of what is currently implemented. High quality waters are those waters afforded extra protection because the quality is high. There are legitimate concerns of local government about the potential adverse impacts on economic development relative some of these segments that have been nominated for special protection as exceptional waters. However, there may be some new sources of income to the community or possible revenue that would be evaluated in the assessment of any nomination i.e, increased use of the waters for recreation, increased visitation by fisherman and vacationers. A mixing zone is allowed below a discharge pipe to allow the waste to mix with the receiving stream. Mixing zones cannot extend into the exceptional water zone. The mixing zone can only extend 'half the way across the width of the stream and cannot be greater than 5 times the width of the stream. There can be no acute toxicity to aquatic organisms. Concerning an appeals process, at the point where the designation of an exceptional water is sent to the Governor for the thirty-day waiting period, this is the point where a citizen could request involvement by their legislator. Letters could also be written requesting return to Public Hearing on this issue, or approach the Governor not to allow this designation to go forward. There are temporary allowances in these waters. There is a section in the Board's regulations that allows on a case-by-case basis the agency to permit temporary activities to occur i.e, repair of a ruptured out]all pipe, dredging activities to remove contaminated sediments, replacement or repair of existing bridges and stormwater permits for temporary constructive activities. Industrial or municipal stormwater permits will be grandfathered as you either have a permit or are going to be getting one. There would be no new municipal or industrial permits, with the exception of these temporary ones for construction. The criteria utilized to determine these exceptions would be to decide the length of time water quality would be lowered, likelihood for long term quality benefits, the degree to which actual water quality standards could be achieved during the actual construction phase or operation phase of that particular activity and the potential to any residual longer term influences on existing uses. The Department of Environment Quality is neutral on this particular issue and hopes governments will work with the nominators. Donald Kain, Water Resource Manager, concerning requirements for stormwater permits, advised the nature of the discharge could not be reoccurring. Jean Gregory advised two issues were before the Public in 1992: toxic water quality standards amendments and the antidegradation policy. Dr. Alan J. Anthony, Assistant Director of Operations, advised concerning this adoption process, there were thirteen (13) public hearings and six (6) follow-up meetings to respond to concerns. Toxics were the main issue of concern. September 14, 1993 -5- CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFINGS EXCEPTIONAL WATERS ITEM # 37199 (Continued) Jean Gregory reiterated the North Landing River commences at the Virginia portion of the F~rginia/North Carolina Line. The designation is from that point to the Bridge at Route 165, the major tributaries of the Pocaty River, West Neck, Blackwater and Mill Dam Creeks. Dr. Anthony advised it would be most helpful if the City or the Virginia Municipal League would submit a proposal for consideration of a Tier 2.5 and provide draft language for the option. It was requested the North Landing River watershed be broken down by land use (marsh, crop, wooa~ private and publicly held property) and that a colored map be provided. September 14, 1993 -6- CONCERNS OF THE MA YOR ITEM # 3~200 Mayor Oberndorf referenced an error in the VIRGINIA BEACH SUN concerning her column, copy of which was distributed by the City Manager's Staff to City Council Members.

Box 11143 Richmond, Virginia 23230 Re: Written Comments on Intended Regulatory Acuon Water Quahty Standards Amendments VR 680-214X) Dear Ms. Dalton' Pursuant to the Public Notice issued by the Department of Enviromnental Quality on August 9, 1993, the City of Virginia Beach herewith submits its written comments concerning the Ant/degradation Policy in VR 680-21-01.3.C and the nomination of the North Landing River and its Major Tributaries for designation as Tier III 'Exceptional Waters" under VR-680-21-01.3.C. The following comments reflect the collective concerns of the Deparunent of Planning, the Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works and the Water Resources Division of the Depamnent of Public Utilities. THE NOMINATION PROCESS AND ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR DESIGNATION OF A WATERBODY AS A TIER Ill EXCEPTIONAL WATER 1. Under the current review process, it is possible that substantive changes in the water quality standards may occur. Moreover, the EPA may modify or reject said standards, notwithstanding adoption by the Department of Environmental Quality CDEQ'). Ms. Dalton -2- September 15, 1993 Nominators, local governments and landowners affected by the nomination of a waterbody as a Tier 1II exceptional water must evaluate the potential impact of a nomination based on criteria and standards which may change substantially. Such a process is unfair to nmmnators and other affected parties. Accordingly, the acceptance of nominations of waterbodies for Tier III exceptional waters and the designation of such waterbodies prior to adoption of final regulations and approval by the EPA is premature and should be postponed. 2. The regulations under the Antidegradation Policy should specifically state that only those citizens who are residents of or owners of property in the Commonwealth of Virginia should have standing to nonfi, nate a waterbody for Tier Ill designation. It would be inequitable for parties outside the Commonwealth to make a nomination, because such parties would share only the benefits and not the costs associated with a Tier III designation. 3. The eligibihty criteria should be amended to state that nominators must provide specific delineations of affected watersheds and basins including mixing zones with the submission of a nomination. The nontinators should work with local government staff to obtain such data. Under the present process, the extent of impact of a nomination is unknown and may remain an unknown factor until the public hearing. Local govermnents and affected landowners cannot properly comment on a nomination. Without appropriate dehneations, any comments would be speculative and would have to reflect a 'worst case' scenario. 4. Criteria for renomination of waterbodies that do not receive a Tier III designation should be established at five-year increments to interface with review of a local government's comprehensive plan. 5. The regulations, procedures and processes should be amended to allow local govermnents to participate in the designation of Tier I and Tier II waterbodies. NOMINATION OF Tile NORTH LANDING RIVER AND ITS MAJOR TRIB~~IF.S FOR DESIGNATION OF TIER ITl EXCEPTIONAL WATERS The City of Virginia Beach has several concerns with regard to the appropriateness of a Tier HI designation for the North Landing River and its major tributaries. From the onset, it should be noted that the City has adopted regulations and ordinances which expressly address the degradation of water quality. These regulations and ordinances are an integral part of the City's stormwater management plan and meet the federal standards under Ms. Dalton -3- September 15, 1993 § 402(p)(3)(B) of the Clean Water Act. 33 U.S.C.S. § 1342 (p)(3)(B). Moreover, the City's Comprehensive Plan has estabhshed land uses and development criteria in the areas affected by the nomination which are consistent with the foregoing federal standards. The proposed Tier [] designation appears to have been established for areas of the Commonwealth with exemplary environmental settings, particularly those which are not urban or suburban in character. Since the proposed designation would prohibit increases tn the volume of discharge to the designated segments, regardless of water quality, the conveyance of stormwater associated with development may present substantial problems. In terms of the City's Comprehensive Plan, the proposed designation would have the most significant h-npact upon Transition Areas I, II, and III, where controlled urban and suburban development is to occur. Transition Area I was established by the City to provide additional opportunities to enhance the economic development potential of Virginia Beach. Transition Area I is seen as an area where a greater proportion of non-residential development such as commerce and major employment centers can be accommodated. This type of urban development necessitates the use of stormwater management facilities in accordance with existing City ordinances. Treated stormwater must be conveyed, at a rate which approximates pre- development conditions, to a receiving stream. Since Transition Area I is located in the headwater areas of the North Landing River, it is reasonable to expect that the proposed designation will have an impact upon development within this area due to increases in the volume of stormwater discharge. According to the DEQ, the specific boundaries of the area subject to Tier [] designation cannot be determined until mixing zones are established for the designated river segments. The extent of the mixing zones will cenaxnly affect the level of development. This is further complicated by the fact that areas with tidal influence must be modelled to determine mixing zones. The proposed designation of the North Landing River does not extend north of the bridge at Route 165. However, the extent of the mixing zones is a significant and unknown variable at this time and as such, presents a major concern. Transition Area II was established by the City to provide opportunities for residential development at densities compatible with the surrounding environmentally sensitive land and with the rural area of the City adjacent to it. Courthouse Estates and the Indian River Plantation Tracts are both located within this Transition Area. Both projects have been reviewed and have received a favorable recommendation by the City's Planning Commission. This type of suburban residential development necessitates the use of stormwater management facilities in accordance with existing City ordinances. Treated stormwater must be conveyed, at a rate which approximates pre-development conditions, to a receiving stream. Transition Ms. Dalton -4- September 15, 1993 Area II is located within the headwater areas of both the North Landing River and West Neck Creek. West Neck Creek serves as the eastern boundary of this Transition Area. In light of the uncertainty of the extent of the mixing zones and designation boundaries and the prohibition of any tncrease in the volume of stormwater discharge to West Neck Creek and its dehneated nfixmg zones, the C~ty believes that proposed development in this area could be severely curtailed. Transition Area III was established by the City as an area where rurally-compauble development, agriculture, public recreational facilities, and land banks could be established. Although Transition Area [] is not designed to support development of an urban or suburban nature as in Transition Areas I and Il, development within this Area will also require the use of stormwater management facilities in accordance with City ordinances. A golf course and subdivisions have been reviewed and have received a favorable recommendation by the City's Planning Commission. Transition Area III is located within the headwater areas of West Neck Creek. As is the case with Transition Areas I and II, the extent of the mixing zones and designation boundaries are not known at this time. Inasmuch as West Neck Creek serves as the western boundary of this Transition Area, and the Tier [] designation would prohibit any increase in the volume of stormwater discharge to West Neck Creek and delineated mixing zones, the City believes that the impact upon land use m this Area could be significant. Although the Transition Areas defined by the Comprehensive Plan are the areas of the City upon which the proposed Tier ffI designation could have the most profound impact, planned land uses in other areas of the City could be affected by such designation as well. Several major commercially zoned tracts are within the headwater areas of West Neck Creek. For example, the southern portion of Oceana West Industrial Park, which has been a highly successful economic endeavor for the City, is bordered by a river segment where West Neck Creek and London Bridge Creek/Canal # 2 meet. The Comprehensive Plan encourages businesses and research centers in these conunercial tracts and, where appropriate, light industrial, recreational and related open spaces can also be developed. This type of urban development generates stormwater runoff which must be discharged to a receiving stream. Although the majority of the affected tracts do not border the main stream of West Neck Creek, mixing zones could encompass the tributary streams into which stonnwater would be discharged. Therefore, it is not unrealistic to expect that the proposed designation could have a negative impact upon planned land uses in these areas. In addition to the above-referenced areas, Salem Canal, which serves as a headwater area to the North Landing River, also supports considerable suburban-type development. The extent of the mixing zones for the North Landing River will influence the level of Ms. Dalton -5- September 15, 1993 impact to land use associated with the proposed Tier III designation within the area draining to Salem Canal. The proposed designation does not include the area of the North Landing River north of the bridge at Route 165. However, the extent of the mixing zones is an unknown variable at this time, and presents a major problem. The City of Virginia Beach has a genuine and realistic concern that planned land uses could be negatively affected by the proposed Tier [] designation due to the prohibition of any increase in the volume of stormwater discharged to the designated river segments and mixing zones. W~thout knowing the extent of the mixing zones within these wind-tidally influenced tributaries, it must be assumed that the level of impact upon planned land uses in these areas will be maximum. This is not an unrealistic assumption when one considers that the main stem of the North Landing River to Route 165 (North Landing Bridge), West Neck Creek, the Pocaty River, Blackwater Creek, Mill Dam Creek and all of their respective mixmg zones are affected by the proposed designation. Moreover, the Tier [] designation offers no flexibility for any planned land uses including future expansions and upgrades to the City's transportation network. Furthermore, the Tier [] designation fails to take into account the possible impact upon land values. It is not unrealistic to predict that affected landowners whose property is rendered almost valueless, except for recreational purposes, would claim a regulatory taking. Is the Cormnonwealth of Virginia prepared to defend such claims ? More importantly, who will pay damages in the event a takings claim is resolved in favor of the landowner - the nominators, the Commonwealth or the City? These comments no doubt reflect a 'worst case' view of potential impact upon land use associated with the proposed Tier IH designation. However, the permanent nature of the designation, the uncertainty of the extent of the mixing zones and designation boundaries, the express prohibition of any new or expanded sources of discharge notwithstanding improvements to water quality, and the inclusion of the entirety of West Neck Creek in the nomination legitimizes this view. The Tier ~ designation would nullify a significant number of the planned land uses set forth in the City's Comprehensive Plan and would jeopardize the economic growth potential of the City. The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality maintains that a Tier ~ designation will not restrict planned land use or development potent:al. However, the reality of the Tier [] designation belies this view. The inability to increase the volu~ne of stormwater discharge, regardless of water quality, renders planned land uses for the urban, suburban and transition areas economically unfeasible and, in effect, imposes a 'no growth' potential upon affected areas. Accordingly, the appropriateness of a Tier [] designation for the North Landing River and its major tributaries is questionable. Although the City has concerns with the petition, as submitted, it is our understanding that the nominators are in the process of working with the respective staff of Ms. Dalton -6- September 15, 1993 the cities of Vtrginia Beach and Chesapeake to amend the petition regarding the North Landing River and its major tributaries. A meeting with the nominators, representatives of the DEQ and the staff of file crees of Virginia Beach and Chesapeake has been scheduled for October 6, 1993. It ~s quite possible that the City may revise its comments after tlus meeting. Accordingly, the City respectfully requests to reserve its right to submit further cmnments regarding the Tier III designation of the North Landing River prior to any further consideration of file petition by the DEQ staff or the State Water Control Board.
