SOUTHEASTERN PUBLIC SERVICE AUTHORITY - LANDFILL SITES
3:00 P.M.
ITEM # 34975
Robert Matthias, Director of infergovernmental Relat!6'6s, advised Durwood
Curling, Executive Director - Southeastern Public Service Authority, had
previously presented intormation relative Alternative Disposal Sites. These
alternatives have now been limited. The Board of Directors of SPSA will be
making the final decision on October 23, 1991, and will be pursuing the
expansion of the Regional Landfill at Suffolk as the first priority with the
second priority being to build a Regional Landfill and a "Waste to energy"
plant at the Isle of Wight Site. At this time, the other sites have been
deleted from consideration. Mr. Matthias distributed a brochure entitied:
Alternative Disposal Options. Said information is hereby made a part of the
record. Total Project Cost Coinparlson and Present Value Analysis is depicted on
page 5 of said report. The Corps of Engineers has Indicated, because of
mitigation necessary at the Suffolk site, their review would be more favorable
If a "waste to energy" plant were also considered at this site. A Summary of
Tipping Fee Impacts from the year 1997 to 2021 is shown on page 6. There is
very little difference over the long term between the Suffolk Site with a
"waste to energy" and the Isle of Wight Site w.ith a "waste to energy" facility.
Page 8 lists the Additional Costs tor Member Communities In the Year 2000, with
Page 9 depicting the Year 2010. The tipping fee Impact is shown with each
alternative. Estimated Economic Impacts Arising from the Presence of a
14otorsports Complex In Isle of Wight County was also distributed to City
Council and is hereby made a part of the record.
A resolution supporting the Southeastern Public Service Authority's Efforts to
find Additional Landfill Capacity is SCHEDULED for adoption during today's
Format Session (October 22, 1991).
Councilwoman Parker distributed copies ot a position paper to Durwood S.
Curling, Executive Director -Southeastern Public Service Authority of
Virginia. The various organizations expressed concern relative the "waste to
energy" plant and the environmental cost of Incineration. Additionally,
incinerators transform trash into toxic ash which must be disposed.
Mayor Oberndorf and Mr. Matthias advised the options being investlgated by SPSA
are not for a mass burn Incinerator. The City is currently participating with
the Norfolk Naval Shipyard In Resource Recovery. Ferrous metals, and any other
extraneous material causlng the type of toxic residue In a mass burn
Incineration, are sorted.

FY 1991-1992 - 1995-1996
ITEM # 34976
3:20 P.M.
E. Dean Block, Assistant City Manager for Economic Management, presented the
Capital Improvement Program FY 1991-1992 - 1995-1996, and advised, relative the
expansion of the Marine Science Museum, the City Manager was authorized to
conduct a financial feasibility study. This process is well underway and City
Staff will be meeting later this week to interview the two final candidates for
this study which should be completed in January. This combination of events
allows the City Council to respond and examine alternative ways of either
moving forward with the expansion of the facility or determining the time is
not appropriate. The Marine Science Museum has sufficient funding to carry the
project through to at least next June, by which time, the City Council will
have received information concerning longer term financial considerations.
Mr. Block referenced the BIKEWAYS Section and advised this is only the off-road
bikeways. There are a substantial number of bikeways which would be constructed
with roadways.
The COASTAL Section is a new section. The Coastal Mangement projects are
necessary to provide Virginia Beach with adequate erosion control and waterway
maintenance for the next five years. These requests are based upon the urgent
requirements anticipated by City Council and the Department of Public Works, as
well as State and Federal agencies. There is not a great deal of funding in
these projects at this time. Many of these are dependent not only on uncertain
Federal funding, but also uncertain City funding. Project #2-704 Beach Erosion
Control and Hurricane Protection has sufficient City funds to continue through
the planning previously authorized by City Council; however, there are many
decision points which must be reached before the Project could ever move to
construction or complete design. The $750,000 in Project #2-077 Citywide Sand
Replenishment Project represents an effort to establish a partial funding pool
for emergency replacement actions due to major storms or should there be a
program requiring a City match of Federal funds. The annual truck haul funds
are in the Operating Budget and will continue to remain there.
Relative Project #2-049 Resort Streetscape Improvements, ten blocks of
utilities will be placed underground and five blocks of landscaping above
ground. This will provide twenty-five blocks completed underground and fifteen
blocks completed above ground. Next Fall, ten blocks will be completed above
ground and ten blocks underground. By the Spring of 1993, there will be
twenty-five blocks of completed landscape, thirty-five blocks of underground
utilities. By the end of 1995, the City should be to the point where all of the
work will have been underway and finalized.
Relative the status of the Western Branch Lynnhaven River Dredging Study,
Arthur Shaw, the City Engineer, advised the design firm has been selected.
Concerning the BUILDINGS Section, this is an area where the City's fiscal
constraints did have a significant impact on the ability to carry out projects,
which had previously been programmed. The City Council has had concerns, but
not identified to the extent as some of the others i.e. Schools as being of a
higher priority. Mr. Block referenced Project #3-005 Underground Storage Tanks,
which represents a mandated project and is part of the EPA Leaking Understorage
Tank Program. The City is not sure whether there will be sufficient funding for
the project over the long run, as this is a constant process of discovery.
There might be a substantial cost of removing a leaking tank. Mayor Oberndorf
advised that in 1986 she warned the City of this and was assured the Fire
Department was making sure all tanks were not leaking nor would be in violation
of the EPA. Mayor Oberndorf advised the gasoline storage tank for the Ford
Motor Company was taken out of the ground. A concrete holding area was built
for the tank so that if the tank leaked it could not go anywhere but in the
concrete area. This was then bermed and planted, turning a potential hazard to
a positive experience. The testing of all the tanks has not been completed.

ITEM # 34976 (Continued)
Concerning the funding ot the Fire Stetion on- the corner of Diamon4.$p-rings
Road and the General Booth Fire and ReScue StatiOn, Mr. Block advised the CIP
carries the funding for design of the projects but not for construction. These
two stations would entail over $1-MILLION in annual Operating Expenses.
Relative the Increase of $500,000 In cost of the General Booth Fire and Rescue
Station, Information concerning statistics involving response times and various
other criteria will be provided. Concern was expressed regarding the
eliminatlon of this fire station. This station is very large, comprised of
15,000 square feet. The land has been purchased.
Concerning the Increase of $186,000 in the Fire Station - Little Neck, Mr.
Block advised when the original budget for that project was prepared, It was
anticipated the project would be built on existing City owned property. The
project was moved to another parcel not owned by the City, thus the total
project increased.
Relative the Pendleton Child Service Center, the City Is paying $250 a day to
the State. The agreement extends through June 1992 and then the City must
vacate the property unless an extension is negotiated. The State will not
assist with the acquisition and construction of a new facility. The City is
appealing to the State for some relief. The Military wishes to retain
Pendleton. Social Services, Mental Health/Mental Retardation and other
Departments of this nature are reviewing the possibility of combining services.
Concerning the Pavilion expansion, Mr. Block advised the Feasibility Study was
just received. There was an expressed desire for funding; however, there was a
number of policy issues i.e, $1/2-MILLION for design, which the City Staff
believed City Council would want to review.
The City is in the process of constructing a new Judicial Center, which will
make the old District Court and Circuit Court Buildings available for
occupancy. Mr. Block advised last year in the CIP, the City programmed a total
of approximately $6-MILLION over several years for renovation, rehabilitation
and revision of those buildings in order to take existing city-owned offices
and locate them in these facilities. These renovation budgets have been
constrained to a total of $4-MILLION. The City Staff proposed delaying the
renovation ot the historic court house some additional years. A priority would
be placed on moving existing City agencies paying rent into these offices
propsed for renovation. Calculations Indicate this $4-MILLION investment would
more than pay for itseit in a relatively short period of time. This project
would not have been recommended if there were not a substantial rental savings.
A list of the current office space being leased to the City outside the
Municipal Center was requested as it was believed many ot the leases extend
beyond the time the City could move back into these facilities. Mr. Block
advised the construction will be phased, as necessary.
In the PARKS AND RECREATION Section, the Integrity of the .7 cents increase of
the real estate property tax rate concerning proceeding with the acqulsition of
park land and the development of park land to eliminate existing backlogs has
been retained. Mr. Block advised the .7 cents is strictly for Capital costs.
This program is continuing and has been generally successful. The City will
Investigate continued work on the Princess Anne Park Expansion, but only to
insure the necessary connections can be completed to the roadways for the new
school system and then commence first phase work Involving ballfields.
Concerning Twenty-fourth Street Park, through the Resort Area Program initial
feasibility work has been performed. In this year's Resort Area Program, there
are sufficient funds to begin design work on what might ultimately become an
Improved Twenty-fourth Street Park; however, there are no funds for any
construction work at the present time as this was not originally envisioned in
the program.

Concern was expressed by Council Members McClanan and Parker relative
objectives ot the Virginia Beach City Public Schools. An invitation shall be
extended to the School Board to attend a Capital Improvement Program FY 1991-
1992 - 1995-1996 WORKSHOP SCHEDULED for the City Council Session of October 29,

CITY MANAGER'S PRESENTATION
WATER RESOURCE ITEM # 34984
Clarence 0. Warnstaff, Director of Public Utilities, advised the Department has
recently completed an exhaustive review and analysis of the City's water
system. The water Supply System Status Report was prepared by Thomas M. Leahy,
11, P.E., Water Resources Engineer - Department of Public Utilities. The
purpose of the report was to review the status of the water supply system and
to determine the course of action in order to Insure a safe, reliable, adequate
water supply for the citizens.
Southeast Virginia has suffered from inadequate water supplies for the last 15
years. The City of Norfolk serves the majority of Southeastern Virginia. The
City ot Norfolk provides ali the water currently purchased by the City of
Virginia Beach and also provides water to its own citizens within its
boundaries and to all the United States Government Installations located both
In Norfolk and Virginia Beach. The City of Norfolk provides approximately one-
third of the water supply of the City of Chesapeake. On five occasions, the
citizens in Southeastern Virginia have been requested to restrict their water
consumption. Mandatory water use restrictions have been implemented by the
city Councils of the Region in 1976/77, 1980/81 and 1991. Voluntary
restrictions were called upon in the Summer of 1986 and the Fail of 1987.
Mr. Warnstaft summarized the findings of the Status Report:
1. During a criticai drought, the Norfolk water system can provide
approximately 70 mgd (with restrictions and allocations similar
to those imposed during the 1980-81 drought).
2. The five Virginia Beach emergency wells provide approximately
11 mgd yield (i.e., a total system yield of 81 mgd); the
emergency wells are a temporary short-term supply that can only
be used in emergency conditions.
3. Virginia Beach has limited and temporary contract rights to the
emergency wells; the wells are owned by the host jurisdictions
and renewal of contract rights is not automatic or guaranteed.
The City's rights to access the wells have been, and will be
diminished over time.
4. The water demand on the Norfolk system in calendar year 1990
was 86 mgd.
5. Existing water demand exceeds the prudent available supply
(during drought conditions) by 5 mgd.
6. Growth in water demand must be limited until more reliable
additional water supplies are in place.
Concerning Lake Gaston, Mr. Warnstaff reiterated these historical points:
1. The Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Marine
Fisheries Service, the State Water Control Board and the
Southeast Public Service Authority have all agreed that the
Lake Gaston Project had minimal environmental impacts and was
the best choice of all the alternatives under consideration.
2. Since the decision in 1982 to pursue Lake Gaston, several
changes in the regulatory environment have reinforced the fact
that the Lake Gaston Project was and is the best alternative
from an environmental and regulatory standpoint.

CITY MANAGER'S PRESENTATION
WATER RESOURCE ITEM # 34984 (Continued)
Mr. Warnstaft advised on July 3, 1991, the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals
rendered a decision to uphold the Lake Gaston Army Corps of Engineers Permit.
The Fourth Circuit Court is now deciding the City's appeal on the construction
Injunction. If the Fourth Circuit Court makes a decision to allow construction,
It is recommended that construction on the Lake Gaston Project begin
Immediately.
Mr. Leahy performed an extensive analysis of the Alternatives:
1. Of the water supply alternatives considered by Virginia Beach
only seawater desalting is likely to be implementable in
today's regulatory environment on a permanent basis.
2. Seawater desalting Is not practical because of the very high
cost and environmental etfects of energy consumption and waste
brine discharge (cost is approximately $7.00 per 1,000
gallons).
3. The development of a temporary brackish groundwater desaiting
system would be very expensive (estimated at $72-MILLION over a
10-year period) and would require two to four years to develop.
Computer modeling indicates that there would be significant
water level declines In Hampton Roads and northeast North
Carolina frorn the operation of 10 mgd bracklsh groundwater
desalting system (i.e, 15 mgd groundwater withdrawal). City
Staff is not optimistic that the State Water Control Board will
issue the necessary groundwater permits for a 15 mgd
withdrawal. The City wi 11 have to conduct an aquifer testing
program to determine it the State Water Control Board would
permit a smaller withdrawal under emergency conditions.
4. Because of anticipated objections to the groundwater
withdrawals, the City has no assurances that It can obtain the
groundwater permits in a timely fashion, If It can obtain them
at all.
Assuming permits could be obtained for seawater Intake and waste brine
discharge, and if only fifty percent of the water demand was furnished by
seawater desaiting, the water rates would double. Although it will siphon off
tunds and resources from the Lake Gaston Project, the City should conduct
aquifer and treatment process investigations to determine if the State Water
Control Board will Issue emergency groundwater withdrawal permits for bracklsh
groundwater desalting facilities; therefore, the staff will immediately pursue
groundwater pump testing, treatment process testing, and permitting to
determine it the Virginia State Water Control Board will permit groundwater
withdrawals for emergency brackish groundwater desalting facilities
On August 1, 1991, the City of Norfolk, advised Virginia Beach by letter that
Virginia Beach should restrict its use of the Norfolk supply to an annual
average of 30 mgd. The current Virginia Beach annual average water demand Is 32
mgd. This is exclusive of any drought-related reductions.

CITY MANAGER'S PRESENTATION
WATER RESOURCE ITEM # 34984 (Continued)
There are es sent i al ly three alter'n at i.ves aval labte to the Ci ty regardin g water
demand and water supply:
1. Implement a moratorium on new connections to the water system,
l.e,. Connections or
2. Continue to allow connections to the system as the market
dictates. This will require the construction of seawater
desalting facilities which will result in significant and
substantial water rate increase's, or
3. Implement an Interim program to:
a. Continue to expedite the Lake Gaston Project.
b. Limit new connectlons to the water system.
c. Implement a mandatory water use restriction program.
d. Investigate the availability of limited brackish
groundwater desaiting as an interim-temporary water
supply.
There are no other options reasonably avai lable. Unfortunately, the City will
be faced with choosing from these very di.fficult alternatives. If the pipeline
is not cleared for construction within the next 30 days, severe action will be
warranted. It should be noted; however, that even if the pipeline is cleared
for construction today, a managed approach, including limitations on new
connections to the water system, and a program of mandatory water use
restrictions, will be necessary to see us through the construction phase.
