CITY COUNCIL'S BRIEFINGS
SOUTHEASTERN PUBLIC SERVICE AUTHORITY - SPSA Status Report
1 :00 P.M.
ITEM # 52631
John S. Hadfield, Executive Director - Southeastern Public Service Authority (SPSAj, recognized. with
appreciation. the contributions of Wade Kyle, Administrator - Waste Management Division and Michael
J. Barrett, Board Member - Southeasten Public Service Authority. During the past fiscal year, FY 2003,
in excess of 1,200,000 tons of waste was managed by SPSA.jor the entire region. Less than one-half was
actually placed in the landfill. This was benejicially utilized to create energy jilr the Waste Plant in
Portsmouth or recycled for other products.
White Goods Program
Purpose is to properly dispose of ozone depleting/gas containing
appliances (Freon) (in compliance with federal regulation)
Virginia Beach Waste Management brings appliances collectedfrom
citizens to the facility located at the Landfill II site
SPSA handles the evacuation of the items received as well as the
recycling of the appliances
SPSA created a joint venture with Virginia Beach and the program is
going well
SPSA assumed this White Goods Program, at no cost to the City. The previous year Virginia Beach
expended approximately $150,000 to manage this program.
Yard Waste Consolidation
Two SPSAfacilities handle the composting
Suffolk Composting Facility, Regional Landfill site
Yard Waste Processing Facility Landfill II site
These two facilities will be consolidated at the Landfill II site
A Fall 2004 construction completion is expected
Oceana Transfer Station Changes
Starting Monday, July 5, the Oceana Transfer Station, 20025 Virginia
Beach Boulevard. will no loner accept residential waste
SPSA 'sLandstown Transfer Station, 1825 Concert Drive, is available
to residents as well as Landfill II
The Landstown facility is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 A.M
to 4:30 P.M. and Saturdays, 8:00 A.M. to 12:00 Noon
Household hazardous waste and used oil disposal is available to
Virginia Beach residents at the Landstown site as well
Beginning October 1 through March 31, the Oceana Transfer Station
will be closed on Saturdays due to slower traffic in these winter
months.

CITY COUNCIL'S BRIEFINGS
SOUTHEASTERN PUBLIC SERVICE AUTHORITY - SPSA Status Report
ITEM # 52631 (Continued)
Mr. Hadfield advised the two additional activities, working with Virginia Beach, SPSA has installed: new
solid waste management software and two new scales at the Virginia Beach Landfill II site (one to be
automatedfor City vehicles).
The Southeastern Public Service Authority and each of the communities are bound by the organization of
SPSA and the contract with each of the communities. Contracts with communities are written to require
virtually all waste collected in a community be taken to SPSA and that communities pay the tipping fee
necessary to operate the system. The Contract began in 1984 and will expire in 2018. The last expansion
of the Regional Landfill required fourteen (14) years to obtain the necessary permits. SPSA must begin
planning now for the future: waste disposal activities, other infrastructure improvements needed or desired
by the communities; financing to maintain the agency; security, and certainty of environmental standards
for waste disposal.
Last year SPSA was the recipient of a national award by the Southeastern Association of North America,
rating the Southeastern Public Service Authority: Number One Integrated Waste Management System. The
Chesapeake Bay Foundation and Hampton Roads Sanitation District also presented prestigious awards to
SPSA.
A Subcommittee of the SPSA Board of Directors, of which Wade Kyle is a member, is working on a Draft
Contract.
Mr. Kyle advised City Council will be briefed within the next two (2) months relative SPSA 's intended use
of the City's landfill.
Mr. Hadfield advised the SPSA Board of Directors is endeavoring toward parity of fees between the
Municipalities and the private sector entities. Three years ago, SPSA 's rate was $57.00 a ton. This year the
fee is $49.00 and thefee next year will be $46.00 per ton. Thefeefor the private sector is $40.00 per ton.
SPSA's goal is to reach a $42.00 a ton parity in FY 2006,
Mr. Hadfield advised the three (3) communities in Souths ide Hampton Roads which charge a separate
garbage disposal fee, as part of their tax fee:
Norfolk
Portsmouth
Franklin
$ 9,00 a month (one-half of the total waste management costs)
$19.00 a month (full cost of both collection and disposal)
$15.00 - 18,00 a month (full cost of both collection and disposal)
The other SPSA communities take the cost of waste management out of the General Fund. Relative escalating
cost offuel, this encompasses less than 2% of the total cost.

CITY MANA GER 's BRIEFING
DREDGING
ITEM # 52623 (Continued)
The majority of the program is currently sustainable from a dredged material perspective. The areas of
Western Branch and Eastern Branch of the Lynnhaven River and ancillary channels experience difficulty
event in the case of stormwater management.
Hydraulic Dredging Disposal Sites
Characteristics
Transmitted through a pipeline in slurry form
Use of Dikes and Berms jor Containment
Decanting of Water
Mr. Block displayed a diagram of the Hydraulic Dredging utilizing either the upland disposal or borrow pit
filling. Borrow pits created when I-264 was built were utilized as a primary source of disposal for many of
the dredging projects.
Capacity and Inventory
Hydraulic Dredging Disposal Sites
Three (3) major considerations:
'Pumping Distance/proximity to dredged area
Availability/suitability
Capacity
· The length of the pipeline has to be appropriate for the amount and value of the dredging to be
accomplished in order to be economically feasible. Mobilization/demobilization costs of the Western
Branch, Lynnhaven River, were approximately $850,000.
Availability rejers to ownership. If the City does not own the site, there must be a process jor obtaining the
site. Suitability refers primarily to the top of the adjacent and surrounding residences. This incorporates a
"rough" idea of the ability to permit the site. Capacity is a key issue. Maps depicted the approximate
feasible pumping distance ;rom Eastern and Western Branches of the Lynnhaven River and preliminary
Hydraulic Dredging Disposal sites. Property records were searched in the City's data bases to identify
undeveloped properties greater than five (5) acres (including water bodies). These sites were then screened,
based on capacity. The sites which had at least 50, 000 cubic yards of capacity per dredged material disposal
were identified. Obvious environmental issues were also considered i.e. wetlands. Sites were not screened
out based on availability or suitability.
Mr. Block referenced the chart depicting Potential Hydraulic Dredging Disposal Sites At this time, the City
does not have a hydraulic site for all of its needs. The Whitehurst Pit exists but is outside the pumping
distance of the Western Branch of the L ynnhaven River. It would be within the pumping distance for the
Eastern Branch.

Mr. Block displayed a map with the ancillary channels depicted which have been dredged since 1990. Some
of these have been dredged by "piggy-backing" on projects such as the Eastern Branch and Western
Branch Lynnhaven dredging. Many have been accomplished on a private basis without any significant
involvement by the City other than the issuance of a permit (estimated to be approximately twenty,four (24))
channels. Potential ancillary channel dredging was also displayed.

Beyond one or, at most, two cycles, mechanical dredging will
become primary method
Transfer Sites will need to be utilized
Ancillary Channels
Continue to allow piggybacking when hydraulic capacity exists
Continue to allow use of Landfill II at no cost
Relative the Western Branch Lynnhaven River dredging the FY 2004-2005 Capital Improvement Program
appropriates $200,000 for preliminary work with the bulk of the funds, approximately $2.8-MILLION,
incOlporated in Fiscal Year 2007-2008.
Relative the City seeking additional hydraulic and/or mechanical disposal sites, the recommendation is to
proceed consistent with timing of the Western Branch cycle. Mr. Block cited alternatives for discussion
relative additional assistance the City should provide to ancillary channels.
1. Continue current policy
2. Construct Transfer Site(s) to Facilitate Work
3. Undertake one or more Public Private Education Facilities
and Infrastructure Act (PPEA) projects
4. Advance Western Branch City project
5. Government-provided overall program
Mr. Block advised the recommendation is to combine Alternatives No.1 and 2.
June 1, 2004

CITY MANA GER 'S BRIEFING
DREDGING
ITEM # 52623 (Continued)
If recommendations are accepted, the policy will be:
City navigational dredging will be performed in accordance with the
Capital Improvement Program
Ancillary channels will be allowed to piggyback on City projects to
the extent disposal capacity exists
City will continue to allow ancillary channel projects to use Landfill
II for disposal of dredged material
City will seek to designate and establish transfer sites, consistent with
funding
Councilman Schmidt referenced polices for hydraulic dredging versus mechanical dredging and requested
the City staff review the potential to create the berms, dikes and drainage necessary to hydraulicly dredge
into an area that might be City controlled i.e. transfer station and then once dewatered or decanted then haul
out to a disposal site. Therefore, there is a continuing use. Although more expensive than hydraulic
dredging, it creates a life cycle by re-utilization. Mr. Block advised this would entail an expense as hydraulic
dredging combined with mechanical di;posal is involved. Also suitability issues are entailed. This would not
be sand and the material pumped out would have an odor.
Concerning the Western Branch Lynnhaven River Dredging in 2008, Council Lady Wilson inquired relative
the possibility of allowing the Church Point, Thoroughgood and otherancillmy neighborhoods to piggyback
on the front end of the 2008 dredging, as a type of cost-sharing arrangement.
Phillip Roehrs, Beach Management - Public Works, advised the next cycle of Western Branch will probably
be a six month long contract.
Vice Mayor Jones inquired relative the old Borrow Pit behind Burton Station and the Airport Industrial
Park and its availability as a hydraulic disposal site. Vice Mayor Jones was concerned relative the
Thoroughgood/Church Point dredging issues. This site shall be reviewed by staff This pit is privately
owned.
Mr. Block advised relative the mechanical hauling to a transfer site, the material taken from the barge and
placed in the truck will be "watery" and, therefore, there will be the possibility of leakage. Mr. Roehrs
advised fine grain materials take quite a while to "drop ". The silt takes a length of time to dry.
Councilman Maddox referenced Lake Rudee and Lake Wesley, which utilize a City-owned dredge. As this
is a river dredge and can only work in very calm water, approximately 60% of the time, the dredge sits idle.
Councilman Maddox has been approached by residents who live on Lake Rudee i.e. Harbor Point. They
reside on canals which have "silted in ". Councilman Maddox does not believe this canal has ever been
dredged. As this dredge is already owned, and capacity is not an issue, Councilman Maddox suggested these
canals be dredged by the City-owned dredge. Mr. Block advised the permitting issues are important. Buying
another dredge might be an alternative for the Lynnhaven. These dredging issues shall be reviewed and
information concerning cost provided

The City Manager advised dredging on private property requires a charge.
Relative dredging, Councilman Villanueva requested information relative re-instituting the boat tax and
increasing the fees at the Lynnhaven Boat Ramp. An overall policy relative long term and short term
dredging is necessmy.
Mr. Roehrs advised in 1989 the cost for the Rudee Inlet II Dredge was $890,000, Mr. Roehrs believes
the cost would be approximately $2-MILLION in today's market.
Mr. Block advised relative addressing the ancillary channels, alternative scenarios would be presented
concerning a contract versus in-house approach.
