Holland County Administrator Chairman 7/24/2024 Page 62 of 73 Citizen Comments Received Through the Comment Portal July 24, 2024 Board of Supervisors Meeting Comment Type Comment Name District Unscheduled matter Dear Chairman Holland and Members of the Chesterfield Board of Supervisors: You are no doubt aware that the Friends of Chesterfield appeal regarding the Dominion Energy gas plant to the BZA was not accepted. Just so you know, in not accepting our appeal, the county provided details which we believe undermines the county's apparent position that the Board of Supervisors need take no action related to the gas plant. First, Dominion Energy recently stated in the media that it is still considering both sites and has made no decision as to which site it may prefer. Second, the decision to not accept our appeal essentially admits that Deputy Administrator Smith had no basis on which to certify CERC as consistent with the County's ordinances. In numbered paragraph 6, the BZA notes that "Dominion has not submitted a site plan for review by the Director of Planning," and that, as far as the County is concerned, important details about the plant are still "speculative." The BZA further implies that Deputy Administrator Smith acted prior to a forthcoming review by the Planning Office, in which it will determine whether the plant will "be in compliance with the County's zoning ordinance and the zoning cases applicable to the properties." Finally, the ruling is not altogether clear on the significance that the County gives the Director of Planning's April 5, 2024 Written Determination. If you review that April 5 Glen Besa Dale 7/24/2024 Page 63 of 73 Comment Type Comment Name District letter, you will note that there is no mention of the CCRC. As a result, it remains our position that Mr. Smith's May 24, 2024 signing of the Local Governing Body Certification Form is invalid and subject to challenge. For these reasons, we renew our request for a Board of Supervisors hearing on the gas plant relating to both the zoning and to the Suitability and Value Form. Upon a Board hearing and consideration of public testimony, we believe you will conclude that Dominion Energy's Chesterfield County Reliability Center should not be approved. Sincerely, Glen Besa Friends of Chesterfield Unscheduled matter Bellwood Community Center, and the James River, raises substantial environmental justice concerns. Such gas facilities entail health hazards for neighboring communities. Engineered for rapid cycling, they often employ more polluting fuels and possess fewer pollution mitigation mechanisms. According to Dominion's projections, the facility would discharge up to 1,110 tons of hazardous air pollutants annually, presenting significant health risks to nearby residents, including numerous households and the students of Bellwood Elementary School. Moreover, the gas facility's construction is costly, estimated at $600 million, and its electricity generation cost of $100 per MWh is nearly five times that of utility-scale solar power. These expenses are likely to burden consumers, and are concerning when clean energy Connor Kish Bermuda 7/24/2024 Page 64 of 73 Comment Type Comment Name District options cost roughly $61 per MWh. Clean energy alternatives like solar, wind, and battery storage can meet our energy needs sustainably and economically, vital for addressing climate change and ensuring a secure, environmentally sound future for all Virginians. I urge you to reject Dominion's proposed Chesterfield Energy Reliability Center and advocate for clean energy remedies. Please refer to the accompanying document delineating strategies to support Virginia's projected energy demand growth without resorting to a new gas facility. [Clerk’s note: the hyperlink to the referenced document has been redacted, but a copy of the document is attached.] Sincerely, Connor Kish Director of the Virginia Chapter Sierra Club Unscheduled matter Hello Board of Chesterfield Supervisors/Dale County supervisor/ Jim, I am a Virginian and a mother. I am reaching out to you about Dominion's proposal for the Chesterfield Energy Reliability center. I am concerned for the future air quality for my family and children if this plant is realized. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, humans have until 2030 to drastically reduce carbon emissions and until 2050 to stop emitting altogether in order to avoid severe consequences of climate change. The proposed pollution output will be 2,213,100 tons of CO2 equivalent, a full 13% increase in Dominion's total emissions in its entire service territory—including Lysandra Cazalet Dale 7/24/2024 Page 65 of 73 Comment Type Comment Name District North Carolina. Please protect people of Chesterfield and Virginians from this project and work with Dominion to consider other renewable options for energy generation. Thank you for your work and time, Lysandra Cazalet Unscheduled matter My name is Traci Franssen and I am contacting you with concerns about the Chesterfield Energy Reliability Center Dominion is proposing. Some of you promised to protect our air when you ran for office. I want to see you do that. I do not want increased pollution due to this costly project. I do not want increased costs on my energy bill to construct this project. This project does not align with a commitment to clean energy and reduced carbon to prevent worsening climate change and subjects community members to more harmful pollution. I request that you protect Chesterfield residents from these impacts by voting no on the conditional use permit. Be creative and let's get Chesterfield to LEAD the way on clean air -- we can have clean air AND reliable energy, it just won't pad the pockets of Dominion's shareholders so let's see if there is enough will to do what is right instead of what is easy. Thank you, Traci Franssen Traci Franssen Matoaca Unscheduled matter Please don’t approve Dominion Energy’s permit for making dirty energy (as there has to be a cleaner of doing it in this day and age!). Would also ask that you’d consider giving County residents a tax Jan Caldwell Dale 7/24/2024 Page 66 of 73 Comment Type Comment Name District credit for getting solar panels on their homes. Unscheduled matter My name is Marlene McGraw and I am contacting you with concerns about the Chesterfield Energy Reliability Center Dominion is proposing. I do not want increased pollution due to this costly project.

I request that you protect Chesterfield residents from these impacts by voting no on the conditional use permit. Thank you, Marlene McGraw Marlene McGraw Midlothian Unscheduled matter My name is Holli Coats, I am contacting you about the Chesterfield Energy Reliability Center Dominion is proposing. I oppose this project due to its proximity to vital wetlands and precious natural areas. I do not want increased pollution due to this costly project. I also oppose this project because of the health impact it will have on local residents.

Thank you. Unscheduled matter My name is Wendy Deaner and I am contacting you with concerns about the Chesterfield Energy Reliability Center Dominion is proposing. I do not want increased pollution due to this costly project. This project does NOT align with a commitment to clean energy and reduced carbon to prevent worsening climate change and subjects community members to MORE harmful pollution. The proposed pollution output will be a full 13% increase in Dominion's total emissions in its entire service territory, including North Carolina. I request that you protect Chesterfield residents from these impacts by voting NO on the conditional use permit. Wendy Deaner Unscheduled matter I am a Virginian high school student and the Clean-Up Chair for GreenTeenz. GreenTeenz is a youth-led environmental non-profit whose goal is to advocate and act on behalf of the well- being of the earth. It's important to create awareness for environmental concerns as a young person because we are handed the responsibility of reversing the detrimental actions that were neglected to acknowledge the long-term effects. Therefore, I am reaching out to you about Dominion's proposal for the Chesterfield Energy Reliability center. I'm scared that if we don't slow down the emission rates of CO2, then we will continue to allow such implementation and cross a point of no-return. Do you want your children to live in a world unsafe from pollutants? Elizabeth Janney 7/24/2024 Page 68 of 73 Comment Type Comment Name District Please protect the future generations of Virginians from this project and work with Dominion to consider other renewable options for energy generation. Unscheduled matter Reliance on fossil fuels is definitely not the solution. The Energy Reliability Center proposal will increase harmful pollution. Please vote no on the conditional use permit. The project will add more carbon emissions, tremendously worsen future air quality, lead to severe consequences and horrible conditions. Consider renewable options for energy generation. Commit to clean energy to save lives of creatures and also vegetation. Frances Broaddus- Crutchfield Unscheduled matter I am a Richmonder, sister, daughter, auntie, and active community member (serving as a Court Appointed Special Advocate, and on the board of the Virginia Civic Engagement Table, among other roles). I am reaching out to you about Dominion Energy's proposed "Chesterfield Energy Reliability Center." I am concerned for the future air quality and well being for my family and our community if this plant is approved. This facility would be a major polluter in the area, at a time when our state and nation is making great strides to reduce harmful localized and climate- impacting pollution. Moreover, methane has significant public health detriments, and creates risk of explosion that would unnecessarily jeopardize our community's safety. The proposed pollution output will be 2,213,100 tons of CO2 equivalent, a full 13% increase in Dominion's total emissions in its entire service territory—including North Carolina. This is Kate West 7/24/2024 Page 69 of 73 Comment Type Comment Name District massive, and would cause irreparable harm to our families, and to future generations. From Global Clean Air (https://globalcleanair.org/m ethane-and-health/) (Environmental Defense Fund): Methane can also result in poor air quality by contributing to the formation of ground level ozone and particulate pollution. Exposure to ozone and particulate pollution damages airways, aggravates lung diseases, causes asthma attacks, increases rates of preterm birth, cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and heightens stroke risk. From the American Lung Association (https://www.lung.org/blog/me thane-gas-pollution): Climate change is responsible for driving extreme heat and extreme weather events like flooding, which, besides causing physical damage and injury, can also lead to stress and illness. Additionally, the costs of this facility are exorbitant. Currently, sustainable options are more cost- effective, and would save both taxpayers and ratepayers valuable funds. For this, your constituents would surely be grateful. Please protect people of Chesterfield and the surrounding area, and work to identify more cost-effective renewable options for energy generation. Unscheduled matter I am Georgianne Stinnett and I am requesting that you not grant Dominion Energy permission to build the methane burning power plant that they want in Chesterfield County. Georgianne Stinnett 7/24/2024 Page 70 of 73 Comment Type Comment Name District Climate change, spurred largely by fossil fuel use, threatens our existence. According to the Intergovernmental panel on Climate Change, we have until 2030 to drastically reduce carbon emissions and until 2050 to stop emitting entirely if we are to prevent severe consequences of climate change. The effects of increased pollution from this plant, with its toxins and particulates contaminating our air and water, would be most felt by those closest to the plant; however, the degradation to health, the environment, and overall quality of life would be felt on a global scale. At a time when it is urgent that we wean ourselves from fossil fuel, building a new methane fired power plant would counter the hard won progress that we are making in this direction. The Virginia legislature passed the Green New Deal which mandates that public policy fight climate change while promoting the use of renewable energy. As County Supervisors, you can help reach the goals of this mandate and create new jobs by building out sustainable energy infrastructure instead of contributing to our doom. Thank you for the opportunity to submit this comment and I appreciate your work to preserve our planet. Unscheduled matter I am a long time resident of Bon Air and deeply appreciative of the importance of air quality. I am reaching out to you about Dominion's proposal for the Chesterfield Energy Reliability center. I am concerned for the future air quality for my family and grandchildren if this plant is realized. According to the Marilyn Breslow 7/24/2024 Page 71 of 73 Comment Type Comment Name District Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, humans have until 2030 to drastically reduce carbon emissions and until 2050 to stop emitting altogether in order to avoid severe consequences of climate change. The proposed pollution output will be 2,213,100 tons of CO2 equivalent, a full 13% increase in Dominion's total emissions in its entire service territory—including North Carolina. Please protect the people of Chesterfield and all Virginians from this project and work with Dominion to consider other renewable options for energy generation. Climate stabilization is on all of us. We need your voice to stop this dangerous initiative. Dominion’s Chesterfield Gas-Fired Plant is Not a Cost -Effective or Affordable Option, but Clean Energy is. 7/24/2024 Page 72 of 73 Building a New Gas -fired Power Plant in Chesterfield will force families to foot the bill for hundreds of millions of dollars of decreased value of an asset and increase pollution. This fact sheet outlines the impacts of Dominion’s gas plant proposal, and comparable clean energy mix replacement options, as studied by Sierra Club using a methodology developed by RMI1. Dominion’s Proposal Cost to customers Clean energy option cost to customers Estimated Savings from clean energy options2 Debt passed on to Dominion customers if Chesterfield Plant is built $100/MWh $61/MWh $880 million $600,000,000 + *CEP = Clean Energy Portfolio (mix of clean energy projects) ● Clean energy is cheaper: Clean energy is not only cost competitive in Virginia today, but it avoids the cost risks associated with building new fracked gas facilities. The proposed gas plant in Chesterfield is more expensive than a viable clean energy mix that accomplishes the same result. Under a clean energy mix, fewer costs are passed down to Dominion’s customers and the increase of pollution in nearby communities caused by fossil fuels is avoided. Building clean energy projects instead of a new gas plant in Chesterfield would save Dominion’s customers upwards of $880 million. Any new gas plant results in higher electric bills for Virginia families while clean energy keeps costs low. ● Savings from clean energy could be even higher: ○ The clean energy mix presented here shows affordability benefits without Dominion meeting any state-mandated energy efficiency goals. If Dominion utilizes advanced energy efficiency as part of their clean energy mix, the clean energy option would be even more cost effective. Virginia families could pay even less. ○ The clean energy option laid out here assumes that Dominion uses prevailing wages and takes advantage of tax credits created by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Even more savings could be accessed through the clean energy mix option if Dominion takes advantage of additional tax credits related to using American-made parts and builds the clean energy in a federally-defined 1 https://rmi.org/about/ 2 Net present value (NPV) savings from building clean energy are the total savings expected over the lifetime of the clean energy project. This is the difference between the lifetime cost of the gas replacement and the lifetime cost of the clean energy project. Dominion’s Chesterfield Gas-Fired Plant is Not a Cost -Effective or Affordable Option, but Clean Energy is. 7/24/2024 Page 73 of 73 energy community. ● Virginia families shouldn’t be forced to pay for a debt-incurring project: The Virginia Clean Economy Act (VCEA) requires Dominion to deliver electricity from 100% renewable sources by 2045. Therefore, there is no value to building a facility that will have to shut down shortly after it’s built. If the plant is constructed, however, Virginia families will be held responsible for the $600,000,000+ of debt associated with construction and the monthly costs of operations on all utility bills.. The only way to avoid an unnecessary and costly increase in utility bills is to embrace a clean energy buildout. ● Clean energy protects health: The type of gas plant proposed by Dominion is air pollution-intensive, emitting harmful chemicals and toxins like Nitrogen Oxide, Sulfur Dioxide, and PM 2.53. These pollutants are linked with a suite of cardiovascular, respiratory and reproductive illnesses, including cancer. One study also found that these types of gas plants release even higher amounts of Nitrogen Oxide when sited in a community of color. There are no hazardous air pollutants associated with clean energy, so a mix of solar, wind, and battery storage saves money and doesn’t come with the trade off of making communities sick. ● Clean energy preserves our climate: Switching to clean energy achieves larger, more impactful emissions reductions while providing system reliability and service. If the proposed gas plant is built in Chesterfield, the projected greenhouse gas emissions are over 1 million metric tons carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) per year. This is equivalent to the climate pollution from over 240,000 cars on the road each year. Sources and methodology We use the methodology developed by RMI in Dyson, M., G. Glazer, and C. Teplin’s September 2019 report The Growing Market for Clean Energy Portfolios to estimate both gas plant and clean energy replacement costs. This methodology has been updated to include the latest available data. This also includes updates for tax incentives in the Inflation Reduction Act and assumes this project uses prevailing wages to take advantage of the additional tax credit available for projects with that characteristic. It assumes the project does not take advantage of the tax credits for domestic content and locating in an energy community. 3 https://www.cleanegroup.org/wp-content/uploads/The-Peaker-Problem.pdf
