6.B. SOCIAL SERVICES BOARD PRESENTATION
Mr. Chris Kollman, Chairman of the Chesterfield/Colonial
Heights Social Services Board, introduced members of the
Social Services Board, who were present at the meeting.
Ms. Marsha Sharpe, Director of Social Services, gave a brief
overview of the framework of the Social Services system that
includes work support programs, basic needs programs and
safety and protection programs. She stated the economic
recession that began in 2007-2008 resulted in a historic
increase in demand for safety net programs. She further
stated economic recovery is beginning to have a positive
effect on the population that is the most vulnerable to job
loss. She stated the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
Program (TANF) and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP) caseload numbers are not on a slow downward
trend as job availability increases. She further stated the
program that is not following the same downward trend as the
other public assistance programs is Medicaid. She noted
growth is mainly a result of policy changes at the federal
level and will likely continue. In regards to community
engagement and outreach, she stated the department has an
important role in linking unemployed and underemployed
citizens to employers who are hiring. She further stated the
county's Virginia Initiative for Employment Not Welfare VIEW
team has launched an employment center and has begun hosting
monthly job fairs. She stated the Department functions as a
broker between partners who want to offer help and the
community who needs help. She then reviewed the department's
FY2016 revenues and expenditures. She stated recruitment and
retention of qualified employees continue to be Department
priorities. She further stated strategies to address
recruitment and retention of eligibility workers have begun
to slow the unacceptably high turnover rate in that division,
and the addition of eleven new positions has positively
impacted morale and has allowed management to shift from
crisis management to setting goals to increase citizen access
and take action to reduce the backlog created during the
recession. In regards to the future, she stated the recession
reminded us that the safety net serves all, that no one is
protected from a bad economy or personal misfortune. She
further stated as the more skilled and those with higher
education have not gone back to work, the focus for the
future should be on ensuring that low income families are not
left behind as the economy grows and as employers seek
employees who are qualified for a more skilled workforce. In
closing, she expressed appreciation on behalf of the Social
Services Board and the department staff, for the Board's
unwavering support and for the opportunity to share
information about the department's efforts.
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's concerns regarding electronic
document management, Ms. Sharpe stated it is her
understanding the matter is a capacity issue within the state
contract.

8.B.17. CANCELLATION OF NOVEMBER 18, 2015 PUBLIC HEARING
REGARDING CIVIL ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM FOR VIOLATIONS
OF LAW REGARDING PASSING OF A STOPPED SCHOOL BUS
In response to Mr. Gecker's request, Mr. Mincks stated state
law provides that the Board of Supervisors may adopt an
ordinance authorizing the School Board to establish a civil
enforcement program to install video cameras on school buses
which record violations of the state code prohibiting passing
of a stopped school bus. He further stated on issue that has
arisen is whether the court summons for violation of the
ordinance must be served by a law enforcement officer in
person or whether it could be mailed to the violator. He
stated the County Attorney's Office concluded that personal
service by a law enforcement officer appeared to be required
under state law and, earlier this month, the Virginia
Attorney General came to the same conclusion. However, he
stated this requirement will result in increased costs which
the Schools believe renders the program financially
unfeasible. He further stated Schools has requested that the
item be withdrawn from the Board's consideration at this
time. He stated Albemarle County and some other jurisdictions
are suspending the program as well.
On motion of Ms. Jaeckle, seconded by Mr. Gecker, the Board
cancelled the November 18, 2015 public hearing regarding
civil enforcement program for violations of law regarding

The following item was moved at the Chairman's discretion:
17.B. TO CONSIDER THE CLAIM OF SARAH M. KLUG AND MAURY ANN
MILLER FOR SURPLUS TAX SALE FUNDS
Mr. Mincks stated this date and time has been advertised for
the Board to consider the claim of Sarah M. Klug and Maury
Ann Miller for surplus tax sale funds. He further stated
there is a procedure under the state code when property is
sold due to delinquent real estate taxes that the money stays
with the Clerk of the Circuit Court. He stated if there is
any excess over the tax amount and all the fees from the sale
of the property from delinquent taxes and whatever that
surplus is goes to the Clerk. He further stated pursuant to
state law, since two years had passed with no one coming
forward to claim the funds, the surplus was paid to the
county by the Clerk of the Circuit Court. He stated the law
allows the former owners to request the money from the county
after such surplus funds are paid to the county. He further
stated the request must be approved and the funds
appropriated by the Board after holding a public hearing.
Mr. Scott Barney, representing the applicants, stated the
foreclosure sale was not done correctly and the proper due
diligence was not done to find his clients and recover the
surplus funds. He requested to have $120,000 appropriated by
the Board to his clients. He noted no jurisdictions have ever
denied any of his requests.
Mr. Elswick called for public comment.
Mr. Freddy Boisseau urged the Board to approve the claim.
There being no one else to address the issue, the public
hearing was closed.
In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Mr. Mincks stated if
the Board approved the full amount or any amount that is be
subject to the approval of the County Attorney's Office and
how the disbursement is handled.
Mr. Barney stated he has no problem providing his tax
identification number.
Mr. Elswick noted the tax owed has been settled with the
county.
Mr. Elswick then made a motion, seconded by Mr. Warren, for
the Board to approve the full amount of $121,086.85 to Ms.
Sarah M. Klug and Ms. Maury Ann Miller.

In response to Mr. Paul Grasewicz's question, Mr. Warren
stated Planning staff would be addressing the remand request.
He further stated staff brought to his attention that there
are some outstanding issues that have not been resolved
dealing with architectural designs and cash proffers.
Mr. Grasewicz stated the area in question does not meet any
of the criteria for warranting a revitalization area.
Ms. Cynthia Losen expressed concerns with a possible
reduction in cash proffers that would result in less money
available for public facilities.
There being no one else to speak to the remand, the public
hearing was closed.
Mr. Warren noted he supports the full cash proffer amount.
In response to Mr. Warren's request, Ms. Darla Orr stated at
the time of the Planning Commission meeting the applicant had
submitted revisions to proffered conditions relative to
design standards. She further stated there was discussion and
concerns that greater consideration was not given to
incentivize quality development for the reduced cash proffers
since the property was within the Providence Middle School
revitalization area. She stated there was also discussion
that a comprehensive strategy in revitalization areas was
needed and revitalization efforts should be coordinated in
cases where incentives are proposed for development in
revitalization areas. She further stated after the meeting
the applicant approached staff to see what could be changed

to warrant some support from the county for a reduction in
the cash proffer because of the proposed area. She noted
those conversations are ongoing; however, there has been no
resolve to that issue. She stated Mr. Warren had indicated
his wish to have to case remanded because of changes at the
Planning Commission public hearing and for the opportunity
for the public to voice their opinions.
Mr. Warren stated he plans to remand the case back to the
Planning Commission to make sure all issues are resolved. He
further stated he is not fond of changes being made after the
Planning Commission meeting before it comes before the Board
of Supervisors without the public's knowledge.
In response to Mr. Warren's question, Mr. Turner stated if
the case is remanded by the Board, Planning staff would
advertise the meeting for December. He further stated if the
Planning Commission were to act on the case in December, it
would come before the Board in December as well.

stated the Planning Commission recommended approval because
the tower is a replacement rather than a new tower; monopole
rather than a stealth design is more appropriate at the site;

development; and street access exception prevents additional
stream crossing. He further stated staff recommended denial

impacts, it exceeds residential density recommended by the

facility plus conditional use planned development to permit
exceptions to ordinance requirements and amendment of zoning
district map on 19.5 acres fronting 930 feet on the north
line of Lucks Lane, 550 feet east of Explorer Drive. Density

standards. The Comprehensive Plan suggests the property is
appropriate for Residential use (2.5 dwellings/acre or less).

Ms. Darla Orr presented a summary of Case 15SN0657 and stated
the Planning Commission recommended approval because as
conditioned, the proposal is compatible with area residential
development and is appropriate to support reduced cash
proffers for dwelling units licensed as assisted living
units. She further stated staff recommended denial because
the proposal exceeds residential density suggested as
appropriate for the area and it fails to fully address
development impacts. She noted an emergency access is planned
to Lucks Lane in lieu of a second public road access. She
stated the Fire and Transportation Departments must approve
the access.
Mr. Andy Scherzer, representing the applicant, stated a
senior residential development with multi -family dwelling
units and group care facility beds is being proposed. He
further stated he feels issues and concerns from area
residents have been fully addressed. He stated the
development would be limited to a maximum of 112 multi -family
dwelling units, with 56 proffered units classified as
independent living units licensed by the Department of Social
Services. He noted the cash proffer policy should consider
other impacts from senior housing to include a cash proffer
for Fire and EMS. He also noted Lucks Lane has capacity for
additional traffic. He stated the applicant has provided
relatively attractive architectural design; buffers to
eastern neighbors; and a drainage easement.
Mr. Elswick called for public comment.
Mr. Paul Grasewicz, Clover Hill District, urged the Board to
approve the request. He stated while built as complete
dwelling units, assisted living units should not be
considered dwellings. He noted the senior component will not
generate school -aged students.
There being no one to speak to the issue, the public hearing
was closed.
Mr. Warren concurred with the Planning Commission's
recommendation to approve the request.
Mr. Warren then made a motion, seconded by Mr. Holland, for
the Board to approve Case 15SN0657.
Ms. Jaeckle noted a lot of senior citizens that reside in
area neighborhoods have an opportunity and benefit by moving
into assisted living residential care. She recommended
modifying the density for an appropriate conditional use for
more established areas.
Mr. Holland stated the age -wave demographic is growing in
Chesterfield County rapidly. He further stated senior
residential developments are needed throughout the county.
Mr. Gecker stated the Fire and EMS proffer is very low and
the proposed type of facility has a much higher demand for
emergency services than normal residential areas. He
recommended going forward for the Board to work with the Fire
Department to discuss the demand modals and see what the
15-1081

Rl�
M
M
dollar amount is appropriate for a facility of this type and
have a better understanding of how much of the capacity of
existing fire stations are being absorbed.
In response to Mr. Elswick's question, Battalion Chief
Chambers stated the majority of the demand would be for
Emergency Medical Services and would bring in about 56 calls
per year.
Mr. Warren stated the new Board of Supervisors coming in
January needs to give the staff better clarification on
defining the cash proffer system because the public may get
the wrong impression. He further stated there was a good
reason why there was a reduction in the cash proffer relative
to the proposal being discussed. He noted there is
flexibility built into the system.
Mr. Holland concurred with Mr. Warren's remarks.
Ms. Jaeckle stressed the importance of having more group care
facilities within the county.

15SN0665
In Dale Magisterial District, Henry E. Myers, Jr. requests
rezoning from Agricultural (A) to Community Business (C-3)
and amendment of zoning district map on .8 acre located in
the northeast corner of Iron Bridge Road and Frith Lane.
Density will be controlled by zoning conditions or Ordinance
standards. The Comprehensive Plan suggests the property is
appropriate for Corporate Office use. Tax ID 769 -663 -Part of
9114.
Mr. Ryan Ramsey presented a summary of Case 15SN0665 and
stated the Board deferred the case to permit additional time
for staff and the applicant to coordinate on possible
proffered conditions for the request. He further stated a
commercial development is planned for the request property as
well as the remainder of the parent parcel that is located to
the north which is owned by the applicant and zoned Community
Business (C-3). He stated the Planning Commission and staff
continue to recommend denial because the request does not
address possible impacts of use on area development; does not
comply with the Comprehensive Plan; and is incompatible with
area office and residential development.
Mr. Henry Myers stated he purchased the property sixty years
ago and had it zoned to A and B-2 close to fifty years ago.
He further stated he has elected to pursue rezoning
independent of the remainder of the parent parcel. He stated
the parcel needs to be rezoned to permit Neighborhood
Business uses.
Mr. Elswick called for public comment.
Ms. Kay Robertson, resident of Deerfield Estates, urged the
Board to deny the case. She expressed concerns relative to
proposed uses, increased traffic and loss of vegetation that
provides privacy to area neighborhoods and businesses.
Mr. Freddy Boisseau, Bermuda District resident, stated the
applicant has the right to develop and make use of the
proposed property. He asked the Board to approve the rezoning
request.
There being no one else to speak to the issue, the public
hearing was closed.
Mr. Holland noted his opposition to the request given that
the applicant has not offered to offset any of the
development impacts to include environmental and
transportation concerns in the sixty-day time period. He
stated the Board may choose to remand the case back to the
Planning Commission or deny it entirely.
15-1090
10/28/15
Mr. Ben Myers, son of Henry Myers and part owner of the
subject property, stated the proposed use compliments what is
already zoned for the parent property. He expressed concerns
relative to the recommended Conceptual Drainage Study. He
noted his family plans to go ahead with the development of
the request property.
Mr. Holland reiterated his opposition to the request.
Mr. Holland then made a motion, seconded by Mr. Warren, for
the Board to deny Case 15SN0665.
In response to Mr. Holland's question, Mr. Myers stated there
is no need to remand the request because he plans to develop
the request property.
Discussion ensued relative to the possibility of a remand of
the request back to the Planning Commission.
Mr. Mincks noted if the applicant comes forward with a
substantially different application, which may be filed at
any time as well.
Mr. Holland stated his motion stands as presented.
Mr. Gecker stated it is a shame that the applicant is
unwilling to treat the case as a combination with the
existing zoned Community Business C-3. He expressed the
possibility of zoning on the site that could be inappropriate
for the corridor.
Mr. Elswick called for a vote on the motion made by Mr.
Holland, seconded by Mr. Warren, for the Board to deny Case
15SN0665.
Ayes: Elswick, Warren, Jaeckle, Holland and Gecker.
Nays: None.

TO CONSIDER AN APPLICATION FOR WASTE MATERIAL
MANAGEMENT AND DISPOSAL BY SHOOSMITH BROTHERS,
INCORPORATED TO USE THE QUARRY AS A LANDFILL
Mr. Dupler stated this date and time has been advertised for
the Board to consider an application for waste material
management and disposal by Shoosmith Brothers, Incorporated
to use the quarry as a landfill. He further stated the
history of the landfill involves two large parcels and noted
the first parcel was zoned in 1976. He noted it did permit
out-of-state trash and that parcel is currently in use today
and accepting out-of-state trash. He stated the second large
parcel was a 1997 zoning case that was approved by the board
and it is the subject area that contains the quarry. He
further stated it allowed in-state trash only, and with
respect to the quarry and the use of the quarry as a
landfill, placed two conditions on that use: 1) it would not
be allowed for ten years from the date of the rezoning before
the county or DEQ could consider it for use as a landfill and
2) that all quarry operations must cease within the quarry if
the county was going to use it as a landfill. He stated in
1999, the county undertook another public hearing process for
the siting of the landfill. He further stated under county
ordinances and the zoning, the county was required to approve
the 1997 zoning case site for use as a landfill. He stated
previous board of supervisors did that in 1999 and approved
the entire site for use as a landfill, including the quarry.
He further stated they also, at that time, approved operation
for all portions of the landfill other than the quarry;
however, they did not entertain any discussion about using
the quarry portion of the landfill on that parcel really
because one of the zoning conditions said that that could not
be done for ten years and because the applicant, as a result
of that zoning condition, did not request consideration of
that at the time. He stated early this summer in July, DEQ
held a public hearing to introduce and begin DEQ's process of
issuing a permit for Shoosmith Brothers, Inc. to place, or to
actually convert the quarry into a landfill. He noted the
county provided testimony to the DEQ, along with a number of
citizens. He stated at that time, the county indicated that
there was an approval process required by zoning that
15-1099
10/28/15
F]
Shoosmith Brothers, Inc. would be required to go through
before they were in compliance with the zoning and that staff
believed it was premature for any actions to be taken on
issuance of a permit at that time. He further stated staff
subsequently reinforced this in a letter to DEQ regarding the
zoning and indicated that a condition of zoning required our
approval prior to any operation within the quarry portion of
the landfill, and staff believes DEQ has heard that message
and staff have had some feedback from DEQ that they are
looking for county approval prior to issuing a permit. He
stated staff asked for 90 days in order for the process to
play out for the county to take a good look at the quarry,
its operation and design and be able to reach the kind of
decision that is expected under the zoning for this parcel,
and DEQ did grant an extension of the public comment period
through October 30, 2015. He further stated comments are due
this Friday, October 30, to DEQ by 5 p.m. He stated county
review and approval is required once a completed application
by Shoosmith Brothers is submitted. He noted there is a
rather detailed list of submissions that are required for a
permit of this type. He stated ordinance mandates that the
board take action within 90 days on this application. He
further stated a public hearing is not mandated and was not
anticipated in the zoning process that got us to this point.
He stated it is only right to allow the public to come out
and comment on this before the board entertains this permit.
He further stated the purpose is two -fold tonight - one is to
receive public comments regarding the design and operation of
quarry landfill. He stated the second is to receive input for
incorporation into public comments to send to DEQ. He further
stated the first one is on the physical decision that you
will have to make in terms of the operation of a landfill in
the quarry and then the second purpose is, and what comments
does the board wish to send to DEQ regarding this matter.
Mr. Rob Key, Director of General Services, stated in order to
provide insight for the Board into the highly complex
technical requirements of constructing and operating a
landfill and quarry, the county hired an independent
engineering consultant that specializes in this area, Golder
Associates. He further stated the applicant has been working
with DEQ for some time and this past summer, they submitted
documents for the county's review and during the same
timeframe, DEQ sent the county the draft permit modification.
He stated staff reviewed the requirements of the conditional
use permit and the ordinance requirements and held a number
of meetings between the county's engineering consultant and
Shoosmith's team to complete the review. He further stated
the process included a full review of the original design
documents with Golder's expert assistance, and in order to
ensure that Golder had a complete understanding, Shoosmith
and their engineers met with county staff and Golder,
answering questions and reviewing details of the documents.
He stated in the course of those meetings, staff presented
Golder's recommendations to Shoosmith and their design and
operations team in order to improve that design. He further
stated the extensive review completed is driven by the County
15-1100
10/28/15
Code requirement, the language which creates the standard to
be met. He stated the purpose of the review was to assist the
county in determining if the design meets the standard. He
further stated Golder Associates having reviewed the
documents in depth and having met with Shoosmith's design
engineers a number of times in order to ask questions and
clarify their understanding of the engineering documents,
made a number of recommendations to add safeguards and
redundancies to the design, as originally submitted. He
stated these recommendations are extensive and has put in
significant additional safeguards for protective of water
resources and for odor management. He further stated their
report is posted on the county website, along with the
summary table of the added safeguards. He stated Shoosmith
has agreed to all of the additional safeguards, which are
being memorialized in the county's comments to DEQ. To assure
enforcement, he stated the county is having the appropriate
requirements included in the Utilities Department's
pretreatment permit and in the solid waste permit
requirements. He further stated staff believes that the
standard can only be met with the additional safeguards in
place in the permits. He noted it is not his intention to
review each and every summary item, just to note that the
document is available, summarizing the extensive engineering
documentation in the event that the public does not wish to
read the 100 -plus documents that are on the website, which
includes the back -and -forth between our engineering team and
their engineering team.
In response to Mr. Elswick's question, Mr. Key stated the
county's legal team has a listing of all the requirements
that are being requested that is being put into the
commitment letter. He further stated the public comment
period ends on Friday. He stated a copy of the county's
comments is incorporated into the commitment letter.
In response to Mr. Elswick's questions, Mr. Dupler stated
staff's understanding is that Shoosmith who is up next will
present a document that represents the county engineer's
comments and the response to them in terms of what is going
to be done and that there is agreement between the county and
SCS Engineers that these are appropriate. He noted staff
does not want to pre -guess or pre -judge what the board may
do, and if the board adds additional things beyond what is in
this letter, staff will include those comments in the
response to DEQ. He stated the county's comments parallel
Golder's recommendations.
Mr. Stegmaier clarified that it will not necessarily be the
limit of the county's comments. He stated, besides other
things that the board may ask to be included, we also have
the option of including, for example, all of the comments
received from the public as part of that submittal to DEQ as
well.
Mr. Mincks noted including the transcript of this public
hearing is important.

Mr. Holland stated the public hearing is critically important
so those comments that we receive tonight will be included
with the board's recommendation for Friday and that is why
the public hearing and the comments from the citizens are so
important.
Mr. Brennen Keene, representing the applicant, introduced a
number of people here tonight that are available to answer
questions on specific issues - Ms. Andrea Wertzel, his co-
counsel, with Troutman Saunders, who has been involved with
the DEQ permitting and is available for questions about the
DEQ permitting process; Mr. Fletcher Kelly the Vice President
of Shoosmith Brothers; Mr. Bruce Kobel, the landfill manager;
Mr. Bob Dick, project director with SCS Engineers, the
engineering firm for Shoosmith; Mr. Charles Warren, Senior
Project Engineer with SCS; and Dr. Laura Green with Green
Toxicology who is here to answer any questions about health
issues. He stated the scope of the request is very
straightforward. He further stated as a result of discussions
with staff coming out of the DEQ permitting process,
Shoosmith filed an application for Article VIII approval. He
further stated the conditional use permit was decided in 1997
and those conditions are in full force and effect. He stated
the siting approval for the entire landfill area, including
the quarry, which was a technical approval done by the board
in 1999, is in effect and valid. He further stated the
original quarry was permitted in 1965 and subject to an
amendment in 1966 dealing with the depth of the quarry. He
stated in 1976 the original landfill was permitted, and in
1997, the additional property was added for expansion of the
landfill, and this was the 1997 permit area. He further
stated the board imposed certain conditions that were
relevant to this permit, one that requires the submission of
an annual health risk assessment, and the interesting thing
is that the health risk assessment is required to be
submitted by an independent consultant to the county each
year by Shoosmith is subject to the same standard of review
that is for the Article VIII permit. He noted there were a
lot of proffered conditions, 25 separate proffered conditions
from the original landfill case. He stated much of the
conditions had to do with berms and buffering dealing with
public roads, setbacks along Swift Creek, protection of Swift
Creek, a number of conditions that were proffered, pages and
pages of proffers, intended to be protective of public health
and safety and welfare. He further stated there was a
specific commitment for monitoring of Swift Creek that passes
along the boundary of this property and there is a monitoring
plan that was required. He stated that monitoring plan has
been approved and has been followed dutifully since it was
approved by the county staff. He further stated it requires
in -stream monitoring, orderly up and downstream of the
landfill, with the results of the monitoring done by an
independent company, the results provided to the county, and
an annual report of those results provided to the county, and
to this date, those results have shown no degradation of
Swift Creek as a result of the landfill. He further stated in
addition, all reports required to be submitted to DEQ have to
be submitted to the county, so there is a redundancy there,
and the county had access to the DEQ permitting process,
special access to ensure that the county was involved in that
process. He stated in 1999, the siting approval was for a
tire expansion area of the landfill and the application
included very specific and detailed information involving
location hydrology, engineering data, operations plans,
15-1102
10/28/15
groundwater monitoring, leachate collection specifications
and post -closure plans - a very detailed application. He
further stated in 2011, Shoosmith filed its permit amendment
for disposal in the quarry area, and for purposes of this
process going forward, for consistency with the documents
that have been submitted to DEQ. He stated at the time of the
application, Shoosmith had ongoing discussions with county
staff and area neighbors regarding the permit, the
application, and ongoing landfill operations. He further
stated a Shoosmith-created outreach group meets on a regular
basis that Shoosmith has voluntarily been involved with, and
the purpose of that group is to provide feedback and for
engagement with the community so Shoosmith can get that
feedback and address that feedback. He stated Shoosmith has
worked diligently to address concerns with county staff and
by Golder, and as a result of the recommendations made by
Golder, Shoosmith has agreed to accept those conditions. He
further stated the Golder recommendations were extensive and
were redundant measures to provide additional safety within
the quarry pit. He stated the grading control plan, the
measurement analysis for grading control, was a big part of
the Golder recommendations. He further stated the
measurement, analysis, storage and management of leachate,
for instance, one of the concerns was that the recirculation
of leachate, which is a common practice in the landfill to
help speed up the decay of waste, also creates heat, and
there was some concern that that heat may create problems
within the landfill. He stated Shoosmith said they were not
going to recirculate leachate. He further stated use of
vertical wells, as well as horizontal wells, to capture gas
and get the gas out of the landfill; additional safety
measures for the construction of the landfill regarding how
the seams are put together and how the landfill is
constructed; additional groundwater monitoring requirements;
additional safety measures around the rim of the facility to
ensure safety and security; and provisions to require
consistency with the county's Conditional Use Permit. He
stated he believes that Golder's conclusion is consistent
with the judgment of DEQ in its issuance of the draft permit
and there are a number of justifications for approval of the
application pending, other than the technical merits. He.
provided details of Shoosmith's economic viability and stated
the landfill provides a long-term reliable and low-cost
option for waste disposal in the county, which is important
for economic development. He stated the available and
reliable economical waste disposal is very important to
helping the county retain and attract businesses,
particularly manufacturing and industrial businesses. He
further stated INGENCO invested $5 million to put a landfill
gas power generation facility on the landfill property, and
they did that based upon the fact that there is going to be a
long-term gas supply from the landfill as it grows and it
produces more and more landfill gas. He asked that the board
consider the application and accept the reasoned,
professional judgments of DEQ, and approve this Article VIII
application as posing no substantial present or potential
danger to the health, safety and welfare of any person or the
environment.
In response to Mr. Holland's question, Mr. Keene stated the
SCS Engineers' letter of October 28, 2015, was filed with DEQ
today.

Mr. Elswick called for public comment.
Mr. Bob Olsen, a Midlothian District resident, stated Ms.
Jaeckle needs to remove herself from the meeting for a
financial conflict of interest. He further stated Ms. Jaeckle
has received campaign contributions of $550, running
unopposed, from Shoosmith Corporation. He expressed concerns
relative to all chemical items coming out of the leachate
that is coming out of the Shoosmith landfill. He stated the
testing that is done outside of the dump, along Swift Creek,
does not test for these items. He further stated the proper
testing under the 1997 zoning is not being done and expressed
concerns regarding the ownership of the landfill. He urged
the Board to protect the citizens of Chesterfield County.
Mr. Edward Ring stated back when the permit was changed to
allow out-of-state garbage, the citizens of Chesterfield and
the board never requested taxation authority over the
landfill. He suggested asking the General Assembly for
taxation authority so that out-of-state garbage can be taxed
and adopting a condition to test Swift Creek for heavy
metals. He asked the board to defer action on the matter
until those things have come to fruition and have Shoosmith
let the citizens know 90 days before they start construction.
Mr. Tony Cesentani expressed concerns relative to air
pollution, water pollution, land pollution, noise pollution
and high-risk of contamination. He stated county roads are
deteriorating and dirty with trash from the trucks traveling
on major throughways; fly ash is being dumped in the
landfill; and noise pollution continues almost 24-7 from
heavy equipment and gun shots. He urged the Board to deny the
request.
Mr. Gary Troxell, resident of the Highlands, stated previous
boards have repeatedly authorized the expansion despite the
harm to the common -good and harm to the growth of the county.
He further stated the landfill like this does not belong in
the midst of a densely populated residential and retail area.
He stated the Golder report clearly states that liners leak
and with those leak toxins such as chromium and arsenic, and
coal fly ash disposed of in the landfill can flow into the
ground water. He stated the current Shoosmith landfill
operation for the proposed quarry expansion clearly poses a
substantial present or potential danger to the welfare of
many citizens.
Ms. Lisa Mansfield expressed concerns relative to truck
traffic that continues to grow at an alarming rate, buzzards
the landfill attracts, and the smell of the trash the dump
emits. She stated the residents of Chesterfield County who
have lived with the negative impact of the landfill for
longer than its original lifespan deserve to have the set
closed date. She further stated the landfill should not be
expanded so that one company can continue to grow and make
money.
15-1104
10/28/15
Mr. John Barabee, Dale District resident, expressed concerns
relative to his quality of living being compromised and
degraded; thousands of seagulls and buzzards swarming and
defecating on homes and driveways; obnoxious odors of the
exposed garbage; and the constant high level of noise from
the heavy equipment operating 12-16 hours each day. He stated
there is little or no demand for homes in close proximity to
that dump and low demand equates to lower values for sellers
and compromises homeowners' investments, assessed values and
eventually county revenue.
Mr. John Knec, Dale District resident, urged the Board to
deny Shoosmith's request. He stated granting Shoosmith a
permit to use the additional capacity in that quarry would
likely result in the significant increase in the amount of
out-of-state waste. He suggested that Chesterfield impose a
very high tax or fee on any out-of-state waste to make it
difficult for out of state localities to use the landfill in
Chesterfield in the future.
Mr. Ray Walsh, Dale District resident, stated when the
management of that landfill changed and the existing
organization came in, residents saw a big difference in terms
of their responsiveness and their proactive effort to try and
control what certainly is a difficult situation. He further
stated Shoosmith has created an outreach group where they try
to interact with the local citizens in the different
subdivisions. He stated he does not have a strong opinion on
whether to accept their proposal, but he gives them credit
for the effort they have put through since they took over
control of that operation.
Ms. Karen Holmes, resident of Arbor Landing stated the odor
is a consistent issue and problem to the point of her family
not being able to enjoy being outdoors on many days during
the year and there have been some days in the last couple of
years that her eyes have actually burned because of the air
quality. She urged the Board to consider denying the
application to expand into the quarry.
Mr. Barry Moore expressed concerns relative to the expansion
of the landfill into the quarry and increased truck traffic.
He stated Ironbridge Road has changed and it is not an
industrial area, it is residential. He urged the Board to
deny the request.
Mr. Tim Gilbert, resident of the Highlands, stated his
neighbors have trouble breathing; they do not like the smell;
they do not like the noise; and they do not like the sight.
He expressed concerns with the expansion of the landfill into
the quarry and the potential for the expelling of
contaminates. He urged the Board to deny the request.
Mr. Bill Busby, Arbor Landing resident, expressed concerns
relative to the increased number of buzzards circling his
neighborhood because of the landfill. He stated the landfill
does not belong in the middle of a densely populated area. He
15-1105

noted a petition signed by Arbor Landing's homeowner
association board members and over 160 residents was
delivered to board members last week. He stated the petition
lists numerous reasons that the Arbor Landing residents
believe the expansion should be denied. He urged the Board to
deny the request.
Ms. Celeste Busby, Arbor Landing resident, expressed concerns
relative to increased traffic on Route 10 and the expansion
of the landfill. She stated the landfill does not belong in a
densely populated area. She urged the Board to deny the
request for the landfill to expand into the quarry.
Mr. Matthew Holmes, resident of Arbor Landing, stated the
smell of the Shoosmith Brothers landfill is unbearable. He
expressed concerns with the expansion of the landfill into
the quarry. He urged the Board to deny the request.
Mr. Tom Watson urged the board deny the Shoosmith Brothers,
Incorporated request to begin operation in the quarry. He
requested the county to propose an ordinance requiring full
disclosure of the proximity to the landfill and all real
estate transactions within a five -mile radius of the landfill
noting that this might also reduce the number of future
complaints.
Mr. Bill Woodfin, Matoaca District resident, expressed
concerns relative to the request to expand the landfill into
the quarry. He questioned the compliance history with DEQ
from Shoosmith, the amount of consent orders they have had in
the last several years, and how much they have paid in fines.
Mr. Terry Petze urged the Board to deny the request to expand
the landfill into the quarry. He expressed concerns relative
to the health and welfare of county citizens.
Ms. Margaret Warren, Arbor Landing resident, expressed
concerns relative to the odor emitted by the landfill. She
urged the Board to consider the health of county residents
and how they want to be able to enjoy their community both
inside and out.
Mr. Rodney Martin, a Midlothian District resident, expressed
concerns relative to the lack of information and data
provided by staff relative to the issue. He inquired about
the infringement of property rights on citizens living in
close proximity of the landfill.
Mr. Freddy Boisseau, a Bermuda District resident, expressed
concerns relative to the placement of the landfill in a
residential area and the acceptance of out of state trash. He
inquired about the infringement of property rights on
citizens living in close proximity of the landfill.
Mr. Duncan Holmes stated the landfill already has a
tremendous amount of garbage in it and has a tremendous
amount of leachate that comes out of it. He expressed
concerns with decreasing property values, noise and air
15-1106
10/28/15
pollution and heavy truck traffic. He stated he sees no
benefit for the county residents or from taxation of the
people who are actually working at the dump that justifies
the kind of risks that the county is taking in continuing to
maintain the dump in its current location. He urged the Board
to close the landfill as soon as possible.
Mr. Tom Pakurar, a Clover Hill District resident, expressed
concerns relative to water quality and the health and welfare
I'Viof county residents. He urged the Board to avoid the legacy
issue and deny expansion of the landfill into the quarry.
Mr. Larry Robertson, a Dale District resident, expressed
concerns relative to Swift Creek water and well water
contamination caused by the landfill. He urged the Board to
deny the request to expand the landfill into the quarry.
Mr. Tony Lash, owner of Lucky Dog Industry, stated he
currently has a contract with Shoosmith for garbage transfer.
He further stated he brings about 4 to 600 tons of recyclable
materials to Shoosmith and about 300 tons of municipal solid
waste. He stated he would prefer to see the landfill stay
open or he would have to move his company elsewhere.
Mr. Elswick expressed appreciation to those citizens who
voiced their opinions. He stated he knows that each and every
one spoke from their heart, and the board listened very
intently to what they had to say.
Mr. Keene stated, when this area is completed, out-of-state
waste will discontinue coming into the landfill. With regard
to the string testing, he stated the string testing protocol
was a plan that was submitted to the county, approved by the
county, and has been in process. He further stated Shoosmith
has always been willing to engage in discussions about how to
review their procedures and to make improvements. He further
stated when Mr. Jack Shoosmith sold his shares in Shoosmith
Brothers to Mr. Tony Lucas; there was confirmation that that
was consistent with the conditions from the county and the
transaction when Mr. Kelly and his partners bought the shares
of Shoosmith Brothers was also consistent with the
conditions. He noted it is not a violation of the Conditional
Use Permit in 1997. In regards to the comment letter, he
stated the incorporation of Golder's recommendations was done
by Shoosmith so as to ensure that those comments got into the
record before the comment period closes on Friday. He further
stated that was done by Shoosmith as a good -faith action to
take those comments it had already received from the county's
consultant and incorporate them into the permit, without
understanding how this process would turn out. He stated it
was done by Shoosmith in order to make sure that those
comments got into the record and had the weight of the
applicant asking for those changes, which is something that
DEQ has to seriously consider.

Mr. Holland stated the '97 zoning case means this condition
or use permit shall be granted to and for the operation of a
solid waste management facility by Shoosmith Brothers, Inc.
He further stated it shall not be transferable nor run with
the land.
In response to Mr. Holland's question, Mr. Keene stated
Shoosmith Brothers, Inc., which is the entity that owned the
property in 1997, owned the property when Tony Lucas acquired
the shares in Shoosmith Brothers, Inc., and owned the
property when Mr. Kelly and his partners acquired the shares
of Shoosmith Brothers, Inc., is still the owner. He further
stated it is still the same entity, it just has different
ownership of the shares of the entity.
In response to Mr. Elswick's question, Mr. Mincks stated what
Mr. Keene is correct. He further stated this same issue came
up in a real estate assessment case that the county had with
Shoosmith, and the court ruled that, as long as the entity
Shoosmith Brothers, Inc. was retained, the shares of stock
could be sold in that company. He noted that is not the same
as transferring to another company.
In response to Mr. Gecker's questions, Mr. Keene stated Cell
28 is into the design phase. He further stated Golder has
reviewed the designs.
In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Mr. Williams stated
Golder believes Cell 28 can be designed, constructed and
operated such that it would impose no substantial present or
potential danger provided Shoosmith meets the recommendations
that Golder provided to the county at the time, that this
facility can be conducted and operated in a manner that will
be protective of human health and the environment. He further
stated if Shoosmith constructs it the way Golder has
recommended it should meet the substantial standards. He
stated the design has been reviewed; however, the changes
that were proposed to be incorporated into a new design have
not be reviewed.
Mr. Holland expressed his appreciation to all of the citizens
who came out from Arbor Landing, as well as from The
Highlands and Woodland Pond subdivisions. He stated one of
the highest responsibilities he has is to make sure that the
safety, health and welfare of every citizen is very well
protected. He further stated as a CPA, he is always concerned
about costs and investments and how that relates. He stated
the study, as presented, does not really address those issues
of substantial present or potential danger to the health,
safety or welfare of any person. He further stated he needs
some more time to digest all the comments, to discuss it, and
to evaluate it. He noted he does not believe the board has
enough data to grant the request at this time. He expressed
concerns relative to pollution, contamination, heavy metal
testing, major concerns regarding the general health, and the
welfare and safety of county citizens. He noted there are
other impacts that have not been discussed, such as the
15-1108
10/28/15
impact of major storms and/or earthquakes to the quarry. He
stated he is not prepared to agree with Golder's study and
wants to analyze the situation. He further stated what he has
heard tonight gives him great pause, great concern, regarding
the welfare of the citizens of Dale and Chesterfield County.
In response to Mr. Elswick's question, Mr. Dupler stated one
option is to have a transcript prepared of the comments the
Board heard tonight and forward those as comments on behalf
of the citizens of our county to DEQ. He further stated he
believes it would be relatively difficult to get a transcript
to the board before the comments are due on Friday.
Mr. Elswick stated the board needs to decide, are they
comfortable enough with what the public said and what Golder
has recommended that we accept, or does the board want that
in the public comment documents from Chesterfield?
Mr. Mincks stated the transcript of the public hearing plus
all of the documents that were filed by speakers with the
board ought to be part of the documents, plus the Golder
report. He further stated the Board also needs to send a
statement to DEQ that explains to them where the Board is
procedurally; the position would be that until the board
makes the decision on the permit, the county cannot certify
that Shoosmith is in compliance with zoning and DEQ needs to
know our position on that.
In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Mr. Mincks stated if
the board does not certify, DEQ cannot issue the permit and
has concurred in that regard.
Mr. Holland recommended the .inclusion of a transcript, pinned
to the appropriate reports from Golder and others, to ensure
that their comments are recorded, documented and are read by
DEQ.
In response to Mr. Elswick's question, Mr. Mincks stated the
comments made by the various board members during this
conversation will also be part of that transcript.
Mr. Holland concurred with Mr. Elswick's recommendation.
Mr. Mincks recommended including the transcript, plus a
summary that staff would put together for DEQ where staff
believes we are procedurally and what we think that means
legally.
Mr. Gecker concurred with Mr. Mincks' recommendation. He
stated he is not sure the board members made comments toward
these specific issues at this point.
In response to Mr. Elswick's question, Mr. Mincks stated the
board can also submit questions, as well as comments, to DEQ.
Mr. Gecker concurred.

Mr. Holland stated specifically the questions that Mr.
Woodfin mentioned, should be asked and clarified. He further
stated those questions need to be answered, and the board
needs this information before making a decision at the
appropriate time.
In response to Mr. Elswick's question, Mr. Mincks stated Mr.
Keene actually indicated previously that he has already filed
with DEQ. He further stated that would be necessarily
something to confirm, but by their filing that with DEQ and
filing their willingness to abide by that, then that would be
ultimately part of the permit that DEQ would issue with a
recommendation of the board.
Mr. Holland made a motion to add the public comments
transcript as stated this evening, as well as the associated
reports, included in the filings with DEQ.
In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Mr. Holland stated a
transcription or a summary of the comments done by staff
would be sufficient. He further stated transcripts are
usually more appropriate.
Mr. Gecker stated there is a time pressure here for staff.
In response to Mr. Holland's question regarding
transcription, Ms. Blakley stated it could be done.
Mr. Mincks stated other offices could assist in the
transcription process. He further recommended including a
summary of the county's legal position on where the board
stands, and include also what DEQ has already filed with,
that was represented was already filed with DEQ.
Mr. Holland concurred.
In response to Mr. Elswick's question, Mr. Mincks stated a
transcription of the hearing would be sent to DEQ.
Mr. Stegmaier stated not a transcription, but the actual
video.
In response to Mr. Elswick's question, Mr. Mincks stated the
A/V of the meeting could be submitted as part of the public
comment; however DEQ is going to want to see it in writing.
Mr. Holland stated his motion has been modified to include
the comments by the attorney, as stated, to include video, as
well as the transcription, whatever is feasible.
Mr. Warren seconded Mr. Holland's motion, as amended.
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's question, Mr. Mincks stated DEQ
does need comments in writing. He further stated a video copy
of the proceedings will also be submitted.
Discussion ensued relative to the submission to DEQ.
