The County's payment of its respective share of the remediation costs pursuant to the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding is expressly made contingent on the annual appropriation of sufficient funds by the Board of Supervisors, and on the continuing payment by the University of Virginia and the City of Charlottesville of their respective shares of the remediation costs under the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding. A certified copy of this Resolution shall be attached to and made a part of the Memorandum of Understanding. MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING AMONG THE CITY OF CHARLOTTESVILLE THE COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE THE RECTOR AND VISITORS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA AND THE RIVANNA SOLID WASTE AUTHORITY This Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") is made this _day of 2004 by and among the City of Charlottesville (the "City"), the County of Albemarle (the "County") the Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia (the "University") and the Rivanna Solid Waste Authority (the "Authority"), together referred to as the "Parties." WHEREAS, WHEREAS, WHEREAS, WHEREAS, WHEREAS, prior to the formation of the Authority, the City and the County jointly owned a tract of approximately 300 acres of land situated on State Route 637 in Albemarle County, Virginia, on which a solid waste depository was developed known as the Ivy Landfill (the "Landfill"); on November 20, 1990, the City and the County entered into a certain Solid Waste Organizational Agreement for the purpose of forming the Authority to operate the Landfill, which Landfill operated continuously from 1968 until the closure of Cell 2 in 2001; at all times since 1968 the City, the County and the University have utilized the Landfill and benefited from its use as a solid waste depository; pursuant to the Virginia Administrative Code, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (the "VDEQ") has promulgated regulations for closure of solid waste depositories located within the Commonwealth of Virginia; pursuant to such regulations, the Authority has submitted a Corrective Action Plan ("CAP") to the VDEQ for the closure, remediation and monitoring of all disposal cells located at the Landfill; 3 WHEREAS, beginning July 1, 2005, the Authority expects to incur the following expenses for the closure, remediation and monitoring costs for the Landfill (the "Costs"): a. The expenses incurred by the Authority under the CAP; b. The cost of such additional remediation activities, which if not required under the CAP, are approved by the Authority's Board of Directors as being reasonably necessary or appropriate to complete the remediation of the Landfill; and c. The administrative overhead of the Authority reasonably allocated to such activities; WHEREAS, the estimated Costs for each fiscal year of the Authority beginning July 1, 2005 (the 2006 fiscal year) through June 30, 2035 are shown on a spreadsheet (i) using current dollars and (ii) assuming an inflation rate of 2.5% per annum attached hereto as Exhibit A; WHEREAS, the costs and expenses the Authority expects to incur under the CAP cannot be funded by future revenues of operation of the Authority; WHEREAS, the Parties have agreed that the following allocation of the Costs is reasonable and appropriate: City: County: University: 33% 60% 7%; and WHEREAS, the University, since it is not a party to the Solid Waste Organizational Agreement and not represented on the Board of Directors of the Authority, desires to fix its share of the Costs, and the City and the County are willing to allow it to do so. NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows: 1. The University agrees to fund its share of the Costs as set forth on Exhibit A on the first day of each fiscal year of the Authority beginning on July 1, 2005 and continuing on each July 1 thereafter through and including July 1, 2034, reserving the option to pay one-quarter of such amount initially, and paying three additional equal quarterly installments on October 1, January 1 and April 1 of each year. The University shall also have the right to prepay all or any portion of its share of the Costs on or before December 31,2005 based on the amounts set forth on Exhibit B, or at anytime thereafter based on the amounts set forth on Exhibit A with any Costs projected after the prepayment date adjusted to prepayment date dollars using the inflation rate assumed on Exhibit A. 2. Each of the City and the County agrees to fund its share of the balance of the Costs remaining after payment of the University's share of the Costs as the total amount of such Costs for each year may be adjusted in the budget approved by the Authority's Board of Directors each year in the following percentages: City: County: 35.5% 64.5% 4 Such amounts shall be paid to the Authority on the first day of each fiscal year of the Authority beginning on July 1, 2005 and continuing on each July 1 thereafter through and including July 1, 2034, with each reserving the option to pay one-quarter of such amount initially, and paying three additional equal quarterly installments on October 1, January 1 and April 1 of each year. 3.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY ORDAINED THAT: Section 1. Purpose. The Board of Supervisors finds that discharges or releases of petroleum from leaking underground storage tanks may pollute ground water and, at high enough levels, these pollutants may render water unsuitable for drinking and may cause adverse effects on the public health, safety and welfare. Section 2. Applicability. This Ordinance shall apply to those areas of the County where the release or discharge of petroleum from leaking underground storage tanks has been confirmed by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality and such area remains an active contamination area. For the purposes of this Ordinance, the term "active contamination area" means those lands within the area identified by the 7 Virginia Department of Environmental Quality to be contaminated such that, in its judgment, the contamination poses a risk to human health and the environment and warrants corrective action or remediation, and those lands within two thousand (2,000) feet of the contaminated area determined by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality to be at risk for contamination. Section 3. Well testing and reporting. Each private ground water well serving as the primary potable water supply for a structure within an active contamination area shall be tested as provided herein prior to the issuance of a building permit for the structure: A. Contaminants to be tested. The tests shall determine whether the following volatile organic compounds are present in the water: Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, and Xylenes. B. Applicable standards. Each contaminant identified in Section 3(A) of this Ordinance shall be tested for compliance with the maximum contaminant level established for that contaminant under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act, as follows: 1. Benzene: 0.005 MCL (mg/L) 2. Toluene: 1 MCL (mg/L) 3. Ethylbenzene: 0.7 MCL (mg/L) 4. Xylenes (total): 10 MCL (mg/L) For the purposes of this Ordinance, "MCL" is the maximum contaminant level, which is the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. The units are in millgrams per liter (mg/L); milligrams per liter are equivalent to parts per million. C. Sampling and testing services. Samples shall be taken and tests shall be performed using appropriate testing methods by either the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality or by a laboratory certified by the Commonwealth of Virginia to perform such services. No such tests shall be conducted by Consolidated Laboratories. The cost of such tests shall be paid by the landowner, provided that nothing herein prohibits the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality from conducting the tests without charge to the landowner. D. Reporting of test results. The testing laboratory shall notify the landowner of the test results in a written report. Section 4. Building permit; withholding. Each applicant for a building permit for a structure to be served by a private ground water well as the primary potable water supply within an active contamination area shall present the report containing the test results required by Section 3 of this Ordinance prior to issuance of the building permit. A. No contaminants detected. If there are no tested contaminants detected, then the building permit shall be issued provided that all other applicable requirements are satisfied. B. Contaminants detected; exceed applicable standards. No building permit shall be issued if one or more contaminants are detected and they exceed the federal Safe Drinking Water Act standards identified in Section 3(B) of this Ordinance, unless and until an alternative primary potable water supply is provided. Section 5. Immediate effect; emergency. This Ordinance shall take effect immediately, being adopted under emergency procedures pursuant to Virginia Code § 15.2-1427, and shall remain in effect not longer than sixty days unless readopted in conformity with the applicable provisions of the Virginia Code. 8 PLEASE SIGN BELOW IF YOU WISH TO SPEAK ON MATTERS NOT LISTED ON THE AGENDA FROM THE PUBLIC - MARCH 9, 2005 91\r- 2-f-lì~ 'P-3 -()<j't;~ lbC6 '117- -.3 f () 5 6 7 8 9 10 Windale John P.

Clement Secretary of Transportation Ninth Street Office Building 202 North 9th Street, 5th Floor Richmond, VA 23219' 'i'/~~"-?' -r/ ;7J Dear Secretary Clement: I and many of my fellow Virginian's are saddened that you will soon be leaving us as Secretary of Transportation. It appears that Virginia and VDOT in particular have taken great strides forward under your leadership. Thank you for your service to the Commonwealth. There is one more critical action you can take before leaving us as Secretary of Transportation. That would be to make sure that the through-traveling tractor trailer restriction requested for Routes 231 and 22 by the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors is placed on the agenda at the next meeting of the Commonwealth Transportation Board and that the restriction is enacted. This past Monday, March 7th, there was yet another tractor trailer wreck on Route 22. This was the second log truck to crash in exactly the same place traveling in the same direction. Miraculously in both instances no one was injured. Whether it was luck or divine intervention hardly matters. It is unlikely that the next time we will be so lucky. The last tractor trailer crash on Route 231 was just this past September. . We have been given to understand that both you and Commissioner Shucet have stated that you will support the requested restriction and that it is up to Butch Davies as representative ûom the Culpeper District to the CTB to bring the item forward. I have contacted Mr. Davies requesting that he put the restriction on the agenda for the next meeting even though the deadline for agenda submittals was on March 4th. If for any reason Mr. Davies cannot or will not bring the item forward, I would respectfully request that you do so on behalf of the Albemarle Board of Supervisors. We are very concerned that if the requested restriction is not acted on at the next CTB meeting, that it will be tabled until a new Secretary is appointed, at which time we face the very real prospect of having to start again ûom square one. That simply is an unacceptable prospect. I hope that we can count on your intervention and support in this critically important matter. Thank you. Sinç"fe regards, L qh~~ Cc w/o attachment The Honorable Butch Davies Senator Creigh Deeds Delegate Rob Bell Albemarle County Board of Supervisors Factors to be Considered in the Decision to Implement a Restriction on Through Traveling Tractor-Trailers on Routes 231 and 22 between the Town of Gordonsville and Shadwell The Virginia Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) is in the process of reviewing a request by the County of Albemarle Board of Supervisors to restrict through trips by tractor-trailers along Routes 231 and 22 between Shadwell and the Town of Gordonsville. The following analysis of the factors surrounding the county's request is provided on behalf ofthe citizens who live along the roadway, many of who in 1994 first brought the safety issues associated with large truck traffic on the roadway to the attention of the Board of Supervisors. The analysis is organized into the following sections: a Statement of Need, Alternative Routes, Additional Factors, and an Analysis of Factors. Statement of Need 1. The Albemarle County Chief of Police has recommended the restriction as the only reasonable and feasible way to improve the protection of the health, safety and welfare of the public traveling the roadway. 2. The Board of Supervisors has adopted three separate resolutions beginning in 1995 stating their desire to the Commonwealth Transportation Board for the implementation of the restriction based broadly on the following factors: a) citizen concerns that are supported by factual data regarding the incompatibility of Routes 231 and 22 with large trucks and the record of accidents invo Iving trucks b) actions by the state that increased the dimensions and weight of trucks that can legally use a road that, because of its design and construction, is inherently dangerous for use by trucks ofthat size and class c) improvements on the scale necessary to make the roadway safe for the largest class of trucks are undesirable and incompatible with both the roadway's designation as a Virginia Byway that travels through a designated Rural Historic District and with the Albemarle County Comprehensive Plan d) statements by both the County and state law enforcement officials that effective enforcement activities cannot be conducted once trucks already are on the roadway 3. In the ten years since the first request for the restriction and particularly since last spring when VDOT repaved and widened the travelway by several inches, safety along the road has deteriorated. Truck drivers continue to break the laws governing size and classes of vehicles they conduct on the roadway, and they continue to ignore both the speed limit and all posted Advisory Speeds on curves. Since the citizens' fIrst request in 1994, no fewer than 15 (and perhaps more) tractor-trailers have been involved in accidents along the roadway. Those accidents have killed three people, permanently maimed one person, and caused countless dollars in property damage and other related costs. 3/8/05 Alternative Routes Two routes offer reasonable alternatives to trucks needing to get to and from the Town of Gordonsville and 1-64: Route 33, connecting to Route 29; and Route 15, with its direct connection to 1-64 at Zion's Crossroads. These roads are Federal Primary Highways and they are constructed to higher geometric design standards than are Routes 231 and 22. These alternate routes are by far the safer routes for tractor-trailers. See Exhibit 1. VDOT recently added Route 15 to the Surface Transportation Assistance Act (ST AA) Truck Routing System because ofthe development at Zion's Crossroads of the Wal-Mart Regional Distribution Center and other planned truck-dependent industries. Residents ofthe Town of Gordonsville are concerned about the negative effect that the inevitable increase in truck traffic will have on them. This has led to the additional concern that the proposed restriction on Routes 231 and 22 will exacerbate the problem. However, the fact is that the restriction will have little additional effect on the residents of the Town. Here is why: 1. In order to protect investments on Main Street, the Town was successful in having VDOT restrict trucks from using Main Street and in establishing High Street as the route for all large trucks through town. 2. According to the 1991 edition of the Virginia STAA Truck Routing map, High Street, T-I006, has been the designated truck route through the Town since the STAA routes approved in 1982. Route 15 south of town has been added to the ST AA System. See Exhibits 1 and 2. 3. Truck traffic heading to and from Zion's Crossroads and going through the Town will increase significantly regardless of what happens on Routes 231 and 22. The Wal-Mart facility alone is estimated to generate 1,\'00 truck trips per day. Additional truck-dependent development around Zion's Crossroads already under construction will increase truck traffic through the Town still further. 4. While truck traffic through the Town may be an annoyance to the residents, truck traffic on Routes 231 and 22 is a very real and quantifiable hazard for everyone who drives on the roadway, and that includes the residents of the Town of Gordonsville. 5. The crux of the matter is that trucks have to drive through the Town of Gordonsville regardless of whether they use Gordon Avenue (Route 231) or High Street (T-1006). The High Street route affects 33 houses and 16 duplexes. The Gordon Avenue (Route 231) route affects 35 houses and 50 garden apartments. Both routes affect their share of businesses and both affect the school and at least one church. In addition to the school, the Gordon Avenue (Route 231) alternative routes trucks by the VFW Post, which has more activity than the churches on High Street. Church activities mainly are limited to a few hours on Sunday morning, which is a period very low truck traffic. The VFW, on the other hand, holds regularly scheduled weekly events plus special events throughout the week. 6. High Street is the safer of the two routes through the Town because of its 35 mph speed limit, and even with on street parking utilized it is wider than Gordon Avenue (Route 231). 2 3/8/05 7. A Route 15 bypass to move trucks around the Town of Gordonsville will be required regardless of whether the through truck restriction is implemented on Routes 231 and 22. The two issues are not inexorably linked. Objections to Proposed Restriction Both Louisa and Greene Counties have gone on record in opposition to the proposed restriction. However, their sole objection is their contention that the restriction might increase truck traffic on Routes 15 and 33. Truck traffic on those roads will increase regardless of whether the proposed restriction is imposed. More importantly, the reason truck traffic is going to increase on those roads is a direct result of land planning decisions made by those jurisdictions. Development around Zion's Crossroads and Ruckersville will have a far greater impact on traffic levels on Routes 15 and 33. The citizens of the Town of Gordonsville and of Orange and Albemarle Counties had absolutely no voice whatsoever in the approval oftruck-dependent development in Louisa or Greene Counties, some of which contributes to the problem on Roùtes 231 and 22. Yet, even though Route 231 tmverses less than one-third of a mile through Louisa County and is nowhere near Greene County, VDOT is according to them a dominant voice in determining whether the truck restriction will be implemented in Albemarle County. This situation imposes a substantial inequity to the citizens of Albemarle County. Interestingly enough, Klöckner Pentaplast apparently has stated they do not support the restriction. This is difficult to fathom after their efforts to voluntarily restrict tractor- trailer traffic on the road. In addition it bears repeating that tractor trailers serving Klöckner Pentaplast could not legally use Route 231 until after the regulations were changed in 1995 (and then again in 1996). The STAA Route and Virginia Access System were specifically modified to allow large truck access to the plant through the Town of Gordonsville and Klöckner Road was constructed at considerable state expense to accommodate large trucks accessing the plant from Route 15. The truck accident that killed three people on Route 231 occurred after the state relaxed truck size regulations and Klöckner Pentaplast began using it to access their plant rather than the STAA Route. Additional Factors Supporting the Proposed Restriction The Gordonsville Bypass There already exists the need for a truck bypass around the Town ofGordonsville. In 2004, VDOT spent millions of dollars resurfacing Routes 231 and 22 to repair the damage done by years of abuse by large trucks. The funds expended on this project were not in the Six Year Plan nor were they in the residency's 2004 budget for maintenance. Apparently these were "found funds". Just where a cash-strapped VDOT "found" the funds is a question that bears answering. The timing of the expenditure and the formal review ofthe through truck restriction is an unlikely coincidence. The funds expended on Routes 231 and 22 could have been "found" to help fund the construction of the Gordonsville Bypass. With construction funds from general revenues virtually non-existent, VDOT needs to look to the private sector to help fund the bypass. Companies locating in Zion's Crossroads and trucking firms that are significantly increasing truck traffic through Gordonsville have a responsibility to and should be asked to contribute funding to the construction of the bypass. This is possible through the 1995 3 3/8/05 Public Private Transportation Act and may be facilitated through the VDOT Innovative Finance and Delivery Office. The timing of the construction ofthe bypass and the restriction under consideration for Routes 231 and 22 are completely and wholly separable. The through truck restriction already is 10 years overdue. The public cannot afford to wait until the bypass is constructed for the implementation of restriction. In the interim, improvements can be made to the intersection of High Street and Gordon A venue to better facilitate turning movements by large trucks. Again, this is an improvement that needs to be made regardless of what happens on Routes 231 and 22. Access Requirements While there is a demonstrated need for the traveling public to use Routes 231 and 22, there is no need whatsoever for through traveling commercial traffic to use the roadway. Because ofthe size oftractor-trailers and the way they are driven on Routes 231 and 22 they are incompatible with the roadway and the general traffic using the roadway. It has been demonstrated that viable alternative routes exist. Two local businesses, Klöckner Pentaplast - an international manufacturer - and Intertrans - an interstate trucking company - voluntarily have routed their trucks off of Routes 231 and 22. In addition, Klöckner Pentaplast asked for and received signed pledges ITom trucking companies and suppliers stating that they too would voluntarily use alternatives routes. Together with surrounding industries these vendors and trucking fIrms totaled more than 150 companies willing to voluntarily limit heavy truck traffic on Routes 231 and 22. See Exhibits 3 & 4. These voluntary acts prove that there is no "need" for through commercial traffic to use Routes 231 and 22 to get either ITom or to the Gordonsville area. Orange County Rescue Squad According to the data available for the period ITom July 2001 through June 2002, the Orange County Rescue Squad makes an average of 5 emergency trips down Route 231 and 22 every day. There is only one zone for an ambulance to pass trucks on each of Routes 231 and 22. The danger of ambulances making emergency trips on Routes 231 and 22 was demonstrated last year when one ITom the Orange County Rescue Squad ran off the road and crashed. Enforcement Both state and local law enforcement officials have repeatedly said that is impractical and dangerous to conduct truck-related enforcement activities on Routes 231 and 22. This assertion is borne out by the fact that over the course of 10 years only a couple of demonstration enforcement actions have been conducted. None of these enforcement actions had any lasting effect whatsoever on the habits of the trucking industry. Illegal categories of trucks continued to use the road and trucks regularly are driven at speeds well in excess of 65 mph every day. This is true even on Route 22 where the posted speed is 50 mph and the advisory speeds on the curves are as low as 30 mph. According to VDOT's publication, Virginia's Size. Weight. and Equipment Requirements for Trucks. Trailers. and Towed Vehicles, the speed limit for trucks on non-limited access highways, less than four lanes is 45 mph. See Exhibit 5. Routes 231 and 22 certainly fall into that category. That means that every truck using the road is 4 3/8/05 exceeding the permitted speed limit, often by 20 or more miles an hour. The defmition of "truck" in this instance is not limited to tractor-trailers. Some of the most chronic offenders are the drivers of dump trucks making runs to and 1Ì'om the Luck Stone and Williamson facilities located on Route 250 near Shadwell. The proposed through truck restriction can easily and effectively be enforced 1Ì'om Route 250 in Shadwell and either in Gordonsville or at the intersection of Route 231 and K.löckner Road, Route 860. From these locations police can prevent truckers 1Ì'om transiting Routes 231 and 22. The enforcement issue alone, or more accurately the lack of possible enforcement once trucks are on Routes 231 and 22, justifies the need for the restriction. Current Truck Size Regulations The Virginia General Assembly was duped two sessions in a row, in 1995 and again in 1996, into increasing the width and then the length of tractor-trailers allowed to travel any road in the state. None ofthe representatives to the General Assembly then representing the Charlottesville area had any idea that the bills they had passed applied to tractor-trailers or knew anything about the ST AA Truck Routing System. Senator Creigh Deeds, who now represents the 25th District and was a Delegate on the House Transportation Committee in 1995 and 1996, and Butch Davies, who now is a member of the Commonwealth Transportation Board and was a Delegate during those years, both expressed surprise when informed at a meeting in August 2002 about the changes to the regulations. The reason all of these elected officials were surprised on learning about the changes to the regulations is that the changes were masked in bills concerning recreational and farm vehicles and the ensuing regulations were then written broadly so they also applied to tractor-trailers. The effect has been to nullify the 1982 ST AA Truck Routing System that was previously in force. That means that trucks 8 ~ feet wide and 65 feet long weighing 80,000 pounds may legally travel roadways where previously they were limited to a maximum of 8 feet wide and 60 feet long. The truck restriction for Routes 231 and 22 was requested even before the changes to the regulations allowed larger tractor-trailers legally to use the road. Additionally, for the paltry annual fee of$45 (or $85 for two years), truckers can get a Virginia Hauling Permit that allows them to drive oversize and over weight vehicles on any road they please. That may account for why, since 1996, residents of Routes 231 and 22 have reported oversize trucks on the road, even though VDOT posted signs stating that trucks over 65 feet are prohibited on Routes 231 and 22. VDOT needs to be called to account :f.:>r why it appears to have abetted this subterfuge and then permitted wholesale changes to the regulations governing the ST AA Truck Routing System without first having conducted a thorough analysis of the possible negative impacts to at-risk roadways such as Routes 231 and 22. Record of Accidents Involving Tractor Trailers VDOT's most recently published study of accidents on Routes 231 and 22, the Route 22/231 Corridor Study, is dated March 15, 1996. The period of the study is ftom 1990 up to February 1996. That report is now more than eight years old, and there have been numerous accidents in the intervening years. In addition, it is important to note that the 5 3/8/05 actual number of tractor-trailers involved in accidents on the roadway cannot accurately be determined by reviewing VDOT statistics alone. This is bec~use that data does not capture every accident that has occurred. Also, the VDOT data utilizes an "other" category of accident types that could be masking accidents involving tractor-trailers and other types of trucks. By combining the data in the report with easily identifiable accidents that either are missing from the data period or have occurred since February 1996, it can be determined that, since 1990, at least 18 tractor trailers have been involved in crashes on Routes 231 and 22, including the CVS truck crash last September and the log truck crash on March 7, 2005. Using only the statistics from the 1996 report for all classes oflarge trucks, the number involved in accidents on Routes 231 and 22 between January 1990 and February 1996 increases to over 40 trucks. Add to that number the accidents that have occurred in the nine years since the date of the report and the number of truck accidents on Routes 231 and 22 goes significantly higher. In addition there have been automobile accidents caused by but not involving trucks, which consequently are not reported as truck-related accidents. For a single IS-mile stretch of roadway, Routes 231 and 22 have an extraordinary record of accidents. By contrast, the accident records for the II-mile stretch of Route 15 between Gordonsville and 1-64, despite requests, have never been made available by VDOT for comparative analysis. Analysis of the Factors In a fair and balanced review of the facts, there can be only one decision made regarding the through truck restriction proposed for Routes 231 and 22. That decision must be to implement the restriction. The safety of the general traveling public along this segment of roadway depends on the implementation of the restriction. The success or economic viability of commerce is not substantially affected by the decision. There simply is no evidence that can or would prove a significant negative economic impact. Too many businesses have voluntarily agreed to drive alternate routes. Safety of the traveling public and residents along the roadway is the greater issue. The residents of the Town of Gordonsville are in a vice to be sure, but the imposition of the restriction does not affect the impact of trucks on the town in any significant way. The amount of truck traffic is going to increase whether the restriction is imposed or not. Fewer residents living along High Street are affected by truck traffic than those who live along Gordon Avenue (Route 231) in the Town and Orange County. There is the need to construct a by-pass to route trucks around town regardless of whether the restriction is or is not implemented. For the past 10 years, VDOT officials have avoided making this decision because of political pressure from the trucking industry and commercial interest lobbies who VDOT views as allies. Today, there are new leaders at VDOT and a new CTB who seem to be more interested in doing what is right to create a safer road system within the Commonwealth. 6 3/8/05 List of Exhibits Exhibit 1 - 1991, Virginia ST AA Truck Routing Map with Alternative Routes Exhibit 2 - VDOT Truck Route Through Town of Gordonsville Exhibit 3 - Example ofthe voluntary agreement between Klöckner Pentaplast and trucking fIrms, July 10, 1996 Exhibit 4 - Letter uom Harry VanBeek to Luck Stone, December 9, 1996 Exhibit 5 - Virginia's Size.

Box 278 Charlottesville, VA 22902 y'l1 Dear Mr. Wood: On June 15,we sent a letter to your facility in Shadwell and in Greene County, requesting to limit heavy truck traffic on Rt. 22 and Rt. 231. Unfortunately we never received a response from either location. This morning, around 9:30 a.m., I was behind two trucks which came from your Shadwell Plant, traveling towards Gordonsville. I stayed behind the trucks, as they traveled over Rt. 22 east and Rt. 231 north, heading towards Orange. The bed of one truck was not covered very well and it lost gravel when maneuvering the dangerous curves on Rt. 231. The license plate of the truck was 166066. I also noticed that both trucks traveled at high speeds in excess of the posted speed limits, crossing over the double lines and making an already dangerous road even more hazardous. I understand that it is impossible to avoid these routes for deliveries to customers who live therel However, the two truck were clearly headed to Orange and could have taken the much safer way over Rt. 64 towards Zions Cross Roads and then Rt.15 to Orange. It is a pity that Luck Stone is not joining 150 other vendors, trucking companies and surrounding industries in an effort to limit heavy truck traffic on these beautiful and scenic routes. Attached please find again a copy of our letter from June. Maybe you will reconsider your position and join us in our efforts to preserve the beauty and safety of thesp historical Virginia roads, by instructing your drivers to use alternate routes Si7ii¡ Á çfu( cc.: Senator Emily Couric .,' -- Rigid Film and Sheet .

We are located in the beautiful Virginia countryside in Gordonsville, V A. One of the most scenic roads in Virginia, Rt. 231 is right at our doorstep. We have been in business in this location for over 17 years. The reason for my letter is to ask for your help in preserving the beauty and safety of this historical Virginia road. ...... .. .... .. ..... ......... . The residents along Rt. 22 and 231 have requested the Virginia Department of Transportation to restrict heavy trucks from traveling this road. The residents take the view that Rt. 231 is much to narrow and winding for heavy trucks to be on. We at Klockner have our own fleet of trucks, "Intertrans Carrier Company" and have for several years voluntarily restricted our trucks from using this road from our plant South to Charlottesville. We are asking that you help us by also voluntarily restricting your drivers from using this stretch of road. I have enclosed a map of the most practical routes to take into and from our plant. The Virginia Department of Transportation has installed caution lights at the intersection ofRt. 231 and Rt. 860,Klockner Road to help identify the entrance into our plant and eliminate trucks going past our entrance southon Rt. 231. We hope we can count on your support to voluntarily restrict your drivers from using Rt. 22 from Charlottesville to Rt. 231 into Gordonsville. Please indicate your willingness to do so by signing the second copy of this letter and returning to us in the self addressed envelope. We know by your joining forces with us on this issue we can show our local offidals and residents ofRt. 231 that our industry and the trucking industry that services us are doing everything possible to keep our roads safe. Thank you for your help and the service your company has given to Klockner. -/. .' . / r'. L ~Á// pe. Kind regards, Company: ~ i?í '7l?í~ M/~ ~' Patsy J.

I chair the ACE Committee, And come before you tonight to ask that you restore our budget to its customary level of $1 Million dollars and consider a modest increase to keep pace with real estate prices. The program will be in its fifth year and enjoys wide support. We have completed 13 projects with a 14th near completion. We will have over 3,000 acres protected as soon as that project is recorded. We have another 6 projects in advanced stage and 9 qualifying applicants for this year. This year's class is the strongest so far and its acreage totals over 2,100 acres. We anticipate that there will not be enough money to pay for all the qualifying projects this year. We estimate we will need 1.7 to 2 Million and even with carryover of $479K from earlier years, we will be short. Real estate values have risen 40% since 2000 when the program began: To keep pace with the modest conservation goals set in 2000, we should be seeing funding of $1.4 Milli on. Lee Catlin in The County's public relations department has suggested that ACE would benefit by increased level of publicity. We would like to ask that the program be given a separate item of $5-7 K for this purpose. Despite the success and popularity of the ACE program, we must ask each year at this time that our budget be restored. As we have done for the last several years, we implore you to give this program permanent line item funding. bf2 (Q 11\\ I\.~ The ACE program is ~kt4jJI a sacred cow: Please do not <Ø.iBl~.oß feeding her. 1ù·I'ð e~ to + ec..d ~î My name is Jo Vining and I am the proud Principal of Brownsville Elementary School. I have over thirty years in the field of education, the past eleven as an administrator. I applaud our Superintendent, Dr. Castner for his thoughtful and dynamic vision for Albemarle County Schools to be a great school system, not just ok or even good but a GREAT SCHOOL SYSTEM. I have witnessed tremendous changes during Dr. Castner's service to the county, including the implementation of State Standards of Learning testing, the use of assessments and data to guide instructional practices, and the increased accountability and challenges educators face as a result of the No Child Left Behind Act. Our best educators have risen to the challenges, actively learning and working to provide the best practices in instruction for our diverse group of learners so that each of our students can become a life long learner. r- < .'d .~_ ~ -f/ý-~/ _'. -,~'L'.~~~_~____ ___~_. ./ ~.'" - -~".,~"",~..~".-,... . -" j"--/ Dr. Castner's budget, with the support of the School Board reflects well our priorities and needs in order to prepare our students to be successful in the 21 st century. Specifically: ** Without competitive compensation for teachers, administrators, and classified employees, we will lose the very quality of the personnel that have led Albemarle County Schools to achieve such high success. We must make compensation a top priority if we are to recruit and retain the very best especially when faced with baby boomer retirees in the near future. ** Secondly, this budget request supports increased funding in assessment and information services to meet the NCLB achievement targets and professional development in best instructional and assessment practices. This staff development is vital in reducing teacher variance in classrooms and in providing staff with the tools to reach our children most effectively. ** Last, this budget allows the funding needed to support computer replacement cycles and to fund transportation to provide a needed longer elementary school day. As an Albemarle County Principal, I fully support this budget for absolutely reflecting the needs of our division to engage the hearts, minds, bodys, and spirits of our students in ways that will help them become successful adults. As John F. Kennedy said, " A child miseducated is a child lost." Please endorse educating them well. (Jt) \J (vUvl3 I November 24, 2003 Mr. Lindsey Dorrier, Chairman Albemarle ~ Board of. SupeMSO~ 401 McIntire Road Clwlottes.viUe, Va" 229.02 ,... ·.';"/0/ ¿ 7~ Dear Mr. Dorrier, I am writing to you today as President of the Stony Point Volunteer Fire Company. The Board of Difectœs. bas. asked me.to. present to y.ou as the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, a list of capital improvements needed for our facility. The existing fire house, after 3.0· years of continuous use, hinders our ability to keep up with the growing needs of the community and the staff, both career and volunteer. The proposed elimination of the present revolving capital improvement fund could create a financial hardship for the fire company, potentially taking away monies from other priority projects in order to supply an upgraded facility. \' Stony Point Fire Company has been actively involved in the "full funding" proposal by the Albemarle FireIRescue Dept. for the last year and a half. Frankly this process has raised many questions, a lot of times without reasonabi! answers, about the commitment to the volunteer fire companies by the County. Because of this we feel it is in the best interest of our company to petition the Board of Supervisors directly for the financial backing we: need. Below are listed ten improvements we feel are needed if we are to continue to serve the needs of our community, as well as provide a safe haven in times of emergency and disaster: 1. Exterior building repair, a. New roof(standing metal) b. Painting of exterior trim. 2. Generator for backup power. 3. Paving of the Driveway both front and rear. a. Cement pad at all bay entrances with drain Culverts 4. 20'x40' steel storage building w/electrical and water. s.. New bunkrooms for male and female members. 6. New bathrooms for male and female members with complete shower facilities. 7. Completely renovate and enlarge the kitchen. S. HVAC. upgrade (the existing system is as old as the building) .j I , 9. Renovate meeting room. 10. Epoxy bay floors. We feel these improvements would be a wise investment for the County, providing another 10 - 15 years of viable space for the station and a suitable working environment for a career staff that is certain to increase. In comparison to other facilities in the County we feel our request is modest and will serve the Stony Point Community for many years to come. Thanks for your positive attention to this request. Sincerely John C. Vermillion Jr. President, Stony Point Volunteer Fire Company #I ,. ¡. Good Evening, ~('!,,&ð -6' 7/ My name is Bernardette Hearns and I am the PTO President at Brownsville Elementary, an Albemarle County resident and tax payer; but more importantly I'm the mother of son who's in 3rd grade and a daughter who will enter kindergarten next year. I stand before you tonight in support of the School Board's funding request for the '05-'06 school year. I support this request because included in it are increases in funding to meet federal No Child Left Behind requirements by implementing a longer instructional day in elementary schools, the K-12 World Language Initiative, technology upgrades and replacements, teacher professional development, and the implementation of best curriculum and instruction practices outlined in the Framework for Quality Learning. This request will also enable our schools to maintain a market- competitive compensation package that attracts, retains, and motivates the quality individuals who are diverse in backgrounds, thoughts and abilities. This is particularly critical as some of our children of color often never see a teacher or school leader who looks like them to serve as an everyday role model. You may say that's what parents are for, but we've all been children once and parents, although likely role models, are not visible during the day to reinforce the concept that everyone regardless of ethnicity, gender, socio-economic background or national origin can and should reach their full potential. So, our educators must be the ones to bridge this gap. It is imperative that this is addressed immediately as more than 30% of Albemarle County's most experienced teachers will become eligible for retirement within the next two years and statistics show that more than 60'0 of all newly hired county teachers depart within their first three years on the job. We must be able to compete with the surrounding counties and school divisions such as the city of Charlottesville, Fluvanna County, and Northern Virginia from a compensation perspective. In addition to this, this funding request will enable new strategies and structures to be formed and put in place to begin to close the achievement gaps that exist. And with teacher professional development the best curriculum and instruction practices outlined in the Framework for Quality Learning can be implemented. It also has a plan to improve our students' ability to apply knowledge and skills in the context of solving real-life problems. Our kids go to school to learn and will become our leader of tomorrow, our educators need to be equipped to take the achievement gap on. This' funding request supports the personnel, strategies and structures necessary for quality teaching and learning that results in high achievement for all students. Our Albemarle County School System is one of the top-performing school divisions in the state. With your approval of the School Board's budget request it can remain that way! Please fully fund the School Board's budget request. Thank You! March 9, 2005 ,$1(06 ./" ý/ Members of the Board of Supervisors and Mr. Tucker: Good evening! My name is Carole Hastings and for the past 22 years, I have been a taxpayer, County employee and parent of students in Albemarle County Schools. I am also the spokesperson of the Albemarle County Building Level Administrators Association. four members of our group were included with the Superintendent's staff in the formulation of the 2005-2006 School Division Budget. We support the Superintendent's budget based on several factors. The school is the place where budget emphasis must remain. At this point, the School Board does not have enough revenue to fund its full budget request. Hopefully, by briefly reviewing those initiatives that directly affect schools, you will see fit to fund the entire request. Our first priority was the continuation of the effort begun last year to have a competitive salary scale for Albemarle County teachers. We commend the Board of Supervisors and School Board for their efforts devoted to making the dream of being in the top quartile of our market a reality. Building level administrators who are being increasingly held accountable for results in our schools know very well the importance of attracting and retaining the very best teachers for our students and the impact this has on achievement. We also strongly support the inclusion of money to address market issues affecting Building Services and Transportation as these services are also essential to our student achievement. finally, the increase in medical insurance contributions by 15% shows a strong commitment to our employees in assisting them to realize more of their salary increase without it having to go for the cost of health insurance. The increase in funding to support the Curriculum and Assessment Institute is critical in having teachers become an integral part of our efforts to provide students with lifelong learning skills. In addition, the increase in the instructional day for elementary schools by 15 minutes per day should be an important assistance in helping our youngest students achieve the academic goals established by the School Board and Superintendent. We look forward, at some point in the near future, to being able to adjust the middle and high school ending times to provide for more equity between the three levels of our school system. With regard to other improvements, we are excited by the possibilities of the Data Warehouse Start Up to assist schools in more efficiently using the data that is made available to us. We have made tremendous improvements in our technology use in our School Division by both students and staff and appreciate the support required for the replacement and maintenance of this huge investment in instruction. We urge the Board to continue its emphasis on the importance of the schools as the unit in the organization where support is most needed in the School Division. It is there where the students need support to learn, the teachers need resources to provide the best instruction possible and the principals need assistance with their important roles as instructional leaders. We also appreciate the need for adequate funding for local government requirements such as sufficient police officers, fire and rescue squad staff, etc. We hope that you will find it possible to fund the entire budget request presented by the School Board. We hope that you will make the critical budget decisions with the schools as one of your primary focus areas.

Contact PersonlExt· Y Start/Finish Dates: Ted Armentrout 9234429,5314423 I ON-GOING - Status of Project: NEW PROJECT Type of Project: Proiect Owner: ALBEMARLE COUNTY Note: Be sure to complete Proiect Cost Spreadsheets associated with the proiect reauest /n addition, include anv other qraphics that describe the proiect (i.e. site plan, map, etc.) Project Description: Various maintenancelreplacement projects for the Stony Point Volunteer Fire Company. Location/Site Status/Land Acquisition Status: 3827 Stony Point Road, Charlottesville, VA 22911 Project Justification (Including Relationship to County Strategic Plan Goals/Objectives): The building and parking lot need numerous repairs and improvements to adequately accommodate the current staffing level and future projected growth. These modifications will aid the County career staff as well as the volunteers and the members of the Stony Point community in the event of a disaster. Several of the items will prevent further deterioration of the building and lot. - .!/~~~ ../ ,7 if Relationship to Approved County Strategic or Comprehensive Plan: The fire station is in the County's plan for the Stony Point area. Changes/Reasons for Revisions (If Update of an Existing CIP Project): Alternatives/lmpact if Project Not Funded/Completed: Further deterioration of building and lot. Lack of necessary facilitates for current and future staffing needs. Other Special Considerations (Future Expansion/Special Features/Etc.): At some point in the near future, 5 to 10 years, it will probably be necessary to provide staffing on a 2417 basis. The current facility is nowhere near ready to support that level of staffing. CIP FORM 1 PROJECT REQUEST :2: <I: CI:: CD o CI:: Q..

We are proud of our school system and the achievements of our students. While we struggle with tight funding, the County must find ways to provide the funding necessary to maintain and improve our school system. Albemarle County teachers are the key of our success. Without their dedication and talent, our students would be less motivated and lower achievers. And still, our teacher's salaries are currently in the bottom quartile in the state. Contrast their compensation with one of the highest costs of living in the state, and you can understand why 60% of new teachers hired by the County leave within the first three years of their employment. Currently, our students perform in the top 10% of the state. We cannot hope to maintain or improve our educational experience if we cannot remain competitive in the educational marketplace and retain teachers once they are hired and trained. Just when our new teachers are trained and productive, we lose them and have to reinvest additional time and resources to retrain more new teachers. This, in itself, is an inefficient and costly pattern. Better to compensate and retain talented and dedicated individuals, than lose money constantly recruiting and training. To help our County schools become competitive in the marketplace for teachers, the Meriwether Lewis PTO strongly supports the second year phase-in to meet the top quartile teacher pay scales, the classified merit plan of 4.4%, and the increased contribution to employee health insurance. Staffing at Meriwether Lewis is always extremely tight. We have approximately 2 hours of teaching assistant time for our kindergarten classrooms and an hour a day for first grade. One of the teaching assistant's salary is paid for by the PTO. We have one half-time literacy specialist and one half-time CTIP staff person for the entire school. We have a part time school nurse for 5 hours a day and the PTO pays for 20% of her salary. We strongly support the funding request to provide for the addition of .5 hours per 20 students for Math/Literacy k-1 Teaching Assistants, the proposed initiative for Literacy Specialists, and incorporating CTIP Staffing into the staffing formula. , A second issue of paramount importance to the County and to Meriwether Lewis is funding for technology to keep up with the changing world around our children. New technologies help our teachers teach and our students learn. Please support Dr. Castner's request as it helps incrementally to bring badly needed technology and necessary maintenance for technology into our classrooms. With your support for Dr. Castner's recommended budget, our children can continue their path to a quality, challenging educational experience which will prepare them at all ability levels for a successful future. The Meriwether PTO thanks Dr. Castner, the School Board and the staff of the Albemarle County School System for always striving for the best and, with your continued support, attaining it. PX BOS 0/ f"/C'::f' ~ ..,. :.'. ,~ My name is Martha Harris. My husband & I live inili;'~!~.!IJl!1 Pi~rtçt.QL· ";/ Albemarle County. I would like to address you tonight about the concerns I have over the drastic increase in the county budgets, both general government and school, since FY 2000-01 thru FY 2004-05 The total budget has increased $67,265,477 or 38.19% with an increase of population of only 9164 or 11.56%. The per capita cost of government has risen £rom $2,223 to $2,753 or 23.84%. The school budget has increased $35,879,132 or 32.31% with an increase of enrollment of only 119 students or less than 1 %. The annual cost per student has increased £rom $9074 to $11,891 or 31 %, again for less than a 1 % enrollment increase. All of these increases have occurred over a period of only 4 years, during a time of relatively low inflation and without any correlation to bulging growth as has been asserted. One of the major factors causing these increases has been the substantial compensation raises which have averaged approximately 5.5% annually for the past 4 years when scale adjustments, step increases and merit pool additions are totaled. The insurance benefit has increased 94%, £rom $2,750 to $5,345 paid for each employee. These increases have occurred over the same 4 year period that Social Security increases annually averaged 2.46% . I see absolutely no necessity for the residents of Albemarle County to continue receiving tax bill increases so drastically to support the out-of-control budget spending by the schools and also general government. The school operations division alone has requested a 9% increase for next year which includes an average salary increase of8.2% for teachers with scale & step combined and classified employees receiving a 7.4% increase with scale and merit pool combined. Since assessments have ballooned in both 2002 and 2004, I ask that the tax rate be lowered by at least $.04 to $.72 @ 100. The monies raised by this rate will provide all divisions with adequate funds to provide excellent services & education for all Albemarle residents.

OS-E(1) AN EMERGENCY ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING TESTING REQUIREMENTS TO DETERMINE WHETHER A PRIVATE GROUND WATER WELL HAS BEEN CONT AMINATED WHERE THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY HAS CONFIRMED THAT THERE HAS BEEN A PETROLEUM RELEASE OR DISCHARGE AND THE WELL IS LOCATED IN AN ACTIVE CONTAMINATION AREA WHEREAS, Virginia Code § 32.1-176.5 enables the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors to establish reasonable testing requirements for private ground water wells serving as the primary potable water supply to determine whether the water from such wells complies with existing federal or state drinking water quality standards and to require that the testing be done prior to the issuance of building permits; WHEREAS, the release or discharge of petroleum poses a threat to the ground water and to private ground water wells that serve as the primary potable water supply and, in turn, poses a threat to the public health, safety and welfare; WHEREAS, private ground water wells located in areas where a petroleum release or discharge has been confirmed by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality may pose an immediate threat to the public health where the contamination has not been remediated or otherwise corrected; WHEREAS, it is necessary to protect the public health, safety and welfare in areas where there has been a petroleum release or discharge confirmed by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality by requiring that new private ground water wells in such areas be tested for petroleum contamination to determine the extent of the contamination, if any, and to assure that the wells satisfy existing federal or state drinking water quality standards for the contaminants; WHEREAS, active contamination areas have been identified in Albemarle County and proposed private ground water wells have not been tested and may be contaminated; WHEREAS, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality has cautioned that establishing new private ground water wells in the immediate area of a contamination plume could alter the conditions of existing contamination plumes and draw contaminants into areas that are currently free from contamination; and WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors finds that an emergency exists requiring the adoption of this Ordinance without prior public notice pursuant to Virginia Code § 15.2-1427. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY ORDAINED THAT: Section 1. Purpose. The Board of Supervisors finds that discharges or releases of petroleum from leaking underground storage tanks may pollute ground water and, at high enough levels, these pollutants 1 may render water unsuitable for drinking and may cause adverse effects on the public health, safety and welfare. Section 2. Applicability. This Ordinance shall apply to those areas of the County where the release or discharge of petroleum from leaking underground storage tanks has been confirmed by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality and such area remains an active contamination area. For the purposes of this Ordinance, the term "active contamination area" means those lands within the area identified by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality to be contaminated such that, in its judgment, the contamination poses a risk to human health and the environment and warrants corrective action or remediation, and those lands within two thousand (2,000) feet of the contaminated area determined by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality to be at risk for contamination. Section 3. Well testing and reporting. Each private ground water well serving as the primary potable water supply for a structure within an active contamination area shall be tested as provided herein prior to the issuance of a building permit for the structure: A. Contaminants to be tested. The tests shall determine whether the following volatile organic compounds are present in the water: Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, and Xylenes. B. Applicable standards. Each contaminant identified in Section 3(A) of this Ordinance shall be tested for compliance with the maximum contaminant level established for that contaminant under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act, as follows: 1. Benzene: 0.005 MCL (mg/L) 2. Toluene: 1 MCL (mg/L) 3. Ethylbenzene: 0.7 MCL (mg/L) 4. Xylenes (total): 10 MCL (mg/L) For the purposes of this Ordinance, "MCL" is the maximum contaminant level, which is the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. The units are in millgrams per liter (mg/L); milligrams per liter are equivalent to parts per million. C. Sampling and testing services. Samples shall be taken and tests shall be performed using appropriate testing methods by either the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality or by a laboratory certified by the Commonwealth of Virginia to perform such services. No such tests shall be conducted by Consolidated Laboratories. The cost of such tests shall be paid by the landowner, provided that nothing herein prohibits the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality from conducting the tests without charge to the landowner. 2 D. Reporting of test results. The testing laboratory shall notify the landowner ofthe test results in a written report. Section 4. Building permit; withholding. Each applicant for a building pennit for a structure to be served by a private ground water well as the primary potable water supply within an active contamination area shall present the report containing the test results required by Section 3 of this Ordinance prior to issuance of the building pennit. A. No contaminants detected. If there are no tested contaminants detected, then the building pennit shall be issued provided that all other applicable requirements are satisfied. B. Contaminants detected; exceed applicable standards. No building pennit shall be issued if one or more contaminants are detected and they exceed the federal Safe Drinking Water Act standards identified in Section 3(B) of this Ordinance, unless and until an alternative primary potable water supply is provided. Section 5. Immediate effect; emergency. This Ordinance shall take effect immediately, being adopted under emergency procedures pursuant to Virginia Code § 15.2-1427, and shall remain in effect not longer than sixty days unless readopted in confonnity with the applicable provisions of the Virginia Code.

Carey, do hereby certify that the foregoing writing is a true, correct copy of an Ordinance duly adopted by the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County, Virginia, by a vote of six to zero, as recorded below, at a regular meeting held on March 9, 2005.
