ATTACHMENT 3
Transportation Funding Resolution
Whereas, an efficient transportation network is crucial to sustainable economic growth in the
Commonwealth, a cleaner environment and enhanced public safety and quality of life; and
Whereas, the Commonwealth faces a documented transportation funding shortfall including a
recurring and inflating road maintenance funding shortfall resulting in the Commonwealth Transportation
Board eliminating and reducing programmed project spending totaling $1.1 billion in the new six-year
transportation program; and
Whereas, the Virginia Department of Transportation is transferring almost $400 million in Fiscal
Year 2008 from road construction funds to support road maintenance activities; and
Whereas, the eliminated and stalled project monies include primary, urban, and secondary
construction funding reductions to regions and localities of up to 44 percent for Fiscal Year 2009; and
Whereas, funding for new highway and bridge construction is diminished as the annual road
maintenance shortfall continues to escalate and the estimate to repair the Commonwealth’s 1,700
deficient bridges totals more than $3 billion; and
Whereas, regions of economic importance to the Commonwealth, including Hampton Roads and
Northern Virginia, confront major transportation funding challenges in addition to those shared by all other
areas of the Commonwealth; and
Whereas, transferring State general funds to transportation neither adequately supports
documented and recurring transportation infrastructure investment needs, nor serves to protect the
Commonwealth’s additional core services including public education, health care, mental health and
retardation, and public safety; and
Whereas, Virginia has the nation’s seventh lowest motor vehicle sales tax rate and the
Commonwealth last enacted dedicated, new, significant and recurring annual statewide revenues for
transportation in 1986, including the last increase in Virginia’s modestly low gas tax rate of 17.5 cents per
gallon; and
Whereas, since 2006 the Commonwealth has enacted significant reforms to improve the
coordination between transportation and local land-use planning;
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved that the County of Albemarle, Virginia, hereby calls on the
Governor of Virginia and the Virginia General Assembly during the forthcoming transportation special
session to enact a significant transportation funding package to include dedicated, additional, significant
and recurring annual revenues to address the Commonwealth’s documented transportation infrastructure
needs; and
Be It Further Resolved, that the Governor of Virginia and the Virginia General Assembly are
urged to enact dedicated, additional, significant and recurring annual revenues to eliminate the road
maintenance shortfall; increase funding directed to interstate and primary highways, urban and secondary
roads, and transit projects; guard against the transfer of general funds to transportation; and address the
unique transportation needs of specific regions of the Commonwealth, and continue efforts to improve
coordination of land use and transportation connections.

Safer Chemical Management Procedure
County of Albemarle Subject: Safer Chemical Management / Integrated
Pest Management
Document No.:

Prepared By:
LAC/SET
Approved By:
1.0 purpose
The purpose of this procedure is to ensure a safer approach to the selection and application of custodial,
grounds and pest control operations within the County of Albemarle, as the County aims to minimize
chemical usage to the greatest extent practicable in its day-to-day operations and activities. This
procedure is intended to be implemented as part of the County’s and Schools’ respective Environmental
Management Policies
2.0 definitions
A. Carcinogens refer to any substance or agent that can cause cancer. Compound listed in the
latest edition of the Annual Report on Carcinogens, U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services, National Toxicology Program as known or reasonably anticipated to be carcinogenic.
B. A disinfectant is used on hard inanimate surfaces and its objective is to destroy or irreversibly
inactivate infectious fungi and bacteria but not necessarily their spores. Disinfectant products are
divided into two major types: hospital and general use. Hospital type disinfectants are the most
critical to infection control and are used on medical and dental instruments, floors, walls, bed
linens, toilet seats, and other surfaces. General disinfectants are the major source of products
used in households, swimming pools, and water purifiers. (EPA: Pesticides – Antimicrobial
Pesticide Products Factsheet; http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/factsheets/antimic.htm)
C. Endocrine disruptors are exogenous substances that act like hormones in the endocrine
system and disrupt the physiologic function of endogenous hormones.
D. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a pest control strategy that promotes the use of a variety
of tactics including pest-resistant cultivars and biological, cultural, and physical controls.
Pesticides are a control tactic employed in IPM, but are only used when needed. When a pest
problem is identified and non-chemical means are exhausted, only the least toxic and most
effective pesticide is used.
E. A mutagen is a physical or chemical agent that changes the genetic information (usually DNA) of
an organism and thus increases the frequency of mutations above the natural background level.
F. A neurotoxin is a substance that is poisonous to nerve tissue (i.e., lead, mercury).
G. A teratogen is any medication, chemical, infectious disease, or environmental agent that might
interfere with the normal development of a fetus and result in the loss of a pregnancy, a birth
defect, or a pregnancy complication.
H. A sanitizer is used to reduce, but not necessarily eliminate, microorganisms from the inanimate
environment to levels considered safe as determined by public health codes or regulations.
Sanitizers include food contact and non-food contact products. Sanitizing rinses for surfaces such
as dishes and cooking utensils, as well as equipment and utensils found in dairies, food-
processing plants, and eating and drinking establishments comprise the food contact Sanitizers.
These products are important because they are used on sites where consumable food products
are placed and stored. Non-food contact surface sanitizers include carpet sanitizers, air
sanitizers, laundry additives, and in-tank toilet bowl sanitizers. (EPA: Pesticides – Antimicrobial
Pesticide Products Factsheet; http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/factsheets/antimic.htm)
12
I. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are gases emitted from certain solids or liquids, which
may have adverse health effects (i.e., paints, varnishes, pesticides, cleaning supplies).
(http://www.epa.gov/iaq/voc.html)
3.0 procedures
A. Custodial Operations
Custodial categories include multipurpose cleaners (e.g. surface cleaners, floor cleaners),
specialty cleaners (e.g., floor strippers, floor finishes and glass cleaners) and disinfectants.
1. Multipurpose and Specialty Cleaners
a. Products used shall be certified by Green Seal, Green Guard or Environmental
Choice
b. If a product does not have such certification, the product shall not contain
carcinogens, mutagens, teratogens, endocrine disruptors, or neurotoxins, and
contain low or no volatile organic compounds (VOC).
2. Sanitization and Disinfection
a. High-touch areas will be routinely cleaned or sanitized as deemed appropriate by
the manager overseeing custodial operations for the facility.
b. Disinfectants shall be used in response to blood-borne pathogen or bodily fluid
incidents, in response to viral outbreaks, or as directed by the Virginia
Department of Health (VDH).
B. Grounds Care
“Grounds care” includes both the management of grounds and outdoor pests.
1. Grounds care departments will continually evaluate the feasibility of changing traditional
practices in the interest of eliminating chemical usage (e.g., manually pulling weeds).
2. If it is determined that a chemical application is necessary, then organic or biologically-
based alternatives shall be used, with the following exceptions:
a. Treatment of stumps of woody invasive species and poison ivy
b. Use of non-selective herbicides for spot-treatments of skinned areas of baseball
infields and warning tracks as needed
c. One-time application of broad-leaf pre-emergent herbicide to reduce broadleaf
weeds, so that Bermuda grass can compete with crabgrass for establishment of
a new field
d. Emergency spot treatment for grub worms
e. Spot treatment of parking lots, along rip-rap and in ditches
3. Any County employee or contractor applying pesticides on County or School Board-
owned property must hold a current Registered Technician or Commercial Applicator
License as issued by Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services
(VDACS).
4. Each application of pesticide or herbicide must be documented on the
“Pesticide/Herbicide Tracking Log” (Appendix A), including the amount applied, active
ingredient and application location. Tracking logs will be maintained by the
Environmental Compliance Managers.
C. Indoor Pest Management
A formal Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program for each school and local government
building will be completed by August 2008. IPM procedures will be incorporated as a separate
procedure of the Environmental Management Policy. Until a separate IPM Procedure is
completed, the following steps will be used to make a decision regarding each indoor pest
management need:
1. Physical means of preventing pests will be implemented first.
2. When pesticides are used, only the least toxic with the most effective outcome shall be
used.
3. Records of all pesticide applications indicating the amount of pesticide, active ingredient
and affected area will be maintained by the Environmental Compliance Managers.
D. Employee Safety
13
1. County employees will have access to Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for all
products used. Employees shall follow all guidelines and instructions listed on MSDS,
including personal protective equipment (PPE) recommendations.
2. Hazard Communication (HAZCOM) training shall be provided to all employees before
use of any product requiring a MSDS.
E. Annual Audit
An annual audit of this procedure will be conducted by the Environmental Compliance Managers.
An audit report will be presented to the Board annually for review.
F. Waiver Process
If a situation arises requiring the use of a product that does not meet the above specifications
(e.g., not Green Seal certified), then a waiver must be applied for and approved before a product
may be purchased or used:
1. The Waiver Request (Appendix B) shall be submitted to the Environmental Compliance
Manager for the schools or local government, as appropriate, and shall include: the
purpose of the requested chemical, the MSDS, the area where the chemical will be used,
the anticipated frequency and duration of use, application technique, and anticipated
usage amount.
2. If a waiver is granted, the written waiver will include an expiration date, and alternatives
consistent with the procedure must be explored when the waiver expires. All granted
waivers will be presented with the annual audit results to the Board.
G. Exemptions
Exemptions to the waiver process include (1) emergency situations that could impact human
health or safety, and (2) practices required in order to maintain insurance policies. If an
emergency situation requiring chemical use arises that is not identified in this section, the request
for use of a product or practice must go through the Waiver Process, as described in Section F.
The following are exemptions to Sections A, B, and C of this procedure:
1. Treatment of bees, wasps or hornets
2. Periodic termite treatment or other insurance-related pest control requirements
