My name is 70 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:45,680 Dr. Nin Smith. I live at 45 on Mclofflin Road in Laurel Fort. 71 00:04:41,919 --> 00:04:53,919 I'm here because a damn fail in Carol County and people downstream including 72 00:04:49,520 --> 00:05:01,400 myself, 30 other citizens paid the price. 73 00:04:55,840 --> 00:05:01,400 That dam is Virginia Dam 03504. 74 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:10,880 It let loose 150 million gallons of water and whatever else was in that 75 00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:18,240 lake. It belongs to Old Mill. It is regulated 76 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:23,120 by DCR. I know that Old Mill's wastewater system. [snorts] Did you 77 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:28,639 know? Did you know they have a wastewater plant there at Old Mill Golf 78 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:37,479 Course and their dam failed and that wastewater 79 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:37,479 plant is below the dam. 80 00:05:37,759 --> 00:05:46,800 These are not vague allegations. These are regulated facilities. 81 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:51,680 There are records and there are inspections. 82 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:56,400 There are compliance requirements. And there is a very simple question for 83 00:05:54,479 --> 00:06:06,199 this board. What did Carol County know 84 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:06,199 about this dam before August 2nd? 85 00:06:08,319 --> 00:06:17,280 And what did Carol County do after August 2nd? 86 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:23,440 I have 30 members of my community who've signed a petition asking for time and a 87 00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:30,560 meeting in front of this board because nothing was done. In fact, the 88 00:06:27,280 --> 00:06:38,080 only way the county found out that this dam is breached is because I called DCR 89 00:06:35,759 --> 00:06:42,240 who then sent a letter. I hope all of you read. 90 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:48,560 What did Carol County do? Well, I've been digging in the records about this, 91 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:56,560 Dan. What I'm finding is very deeply troubled. There appears to be roughly a 92 00:06:51,680 --> 00:07:02,880 20year history of non-compliance uh by this owner of Old Mill, an owner 93 00:07:01,039 --> 00:07:07,919 who you brought before you and celebrated for over 30 minutes. Yet 94 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:13,199 you'll only give me 3 minutes to talk about it. 95 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:18,960 20 years they've been out of compliance. Not 20 days, 96 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:23,360 20, not 20 weeks. 20 years they've been out of compliance. 97 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:31,759 If that is wrong, if that's wrong, if that information is wrong, correct me. 98 00:07:28,479 --> 00:07:36,000 You can't. If that's true, that they've been out of 99 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:39,520 compliance. Listen, I got two more minutes. 100 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:43,160 » I'm going to give you another minute. >> Thank you. 101 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,160 » Uhhuh. 102 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:51,840 » Why wasn't something done when this stand was out of compliance for 20 103 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:56,160 years? People downstream were flooded when it failed. And now the question 104 00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:02,639 becomes even more important. What happened after the fail? Did this county 105 00:07:59,039 --> 00:08:11,280 demand answers? Did each of you demand answers? Did it Did you contact DCR? No, 106 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:16,240 I did. Did you contact DEEQ? No, I didn't. 107 00:08:13,919 --> 00:08:23,440 Find out what really happened in the office. 108 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:30,400 Put the complete history of ban 35 03504 out on the table for all of us. Get DQ's 109 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:36,159 records about the waste facility. Did it breach when the dam did. Find out 110 00:08:33,919 --> 00:08:42,399 exactly what happened during the August flood. Find out what the emergency 111 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:46,560 notification system was supposed to do. And that's where they're mainly out of 112 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:52,240 compliance. you have some work to do about this 113 00:08:49,279 --> 00:08:54,800 errant neighbor and I look forward to hearing what you're going to do. 114 00:08:53,680 --> 00:09:02,360 » Thank you, sir. >> Thank you. 115 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:02,360 » And next we have Greg Alger. 116 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:14,560 » Good evening, y'all. [clears throat] >> Good evening. 117 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:18,720 » I'm coming just to talk about a little bit about what So my family and friends 118 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:26,120 were concerned about several people in this room and it's the recoccurring 119 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:26,120 thing here the data center 120 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:33,120 a lot of the people that I know doesn't think the board's really 121 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:38,240 concerned about I don't know if that's true or not 122 00:09:35,519 --> 00:09:43,200 but what I've been told is you know y'all are supposed to represent us our 123 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:50,399 beliefs our values it's not like we're asking for y'all doing something illegal 124 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:57,839 But nobody I talked to has mentioned wanting a data center in this town. 125 00:09:53,839 --> 00:10:02,839 Nobody. There's too many negative side effects 126 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,839 uh from having. 127 00:10:03,279 --> 00:10:09,519 We just want to know that we're being taken care of. 128 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:14,959 Most people think zoning is not the only option. There's got to be another what 129 00:10:12,399 --> 00:10:17,959 option out there. Uh 130 00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:26,800 and I guess something I want to ask supervisors as a whole. You really want 131 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:29,920 your kids growing up with these data centers and their neighborhood effects. 132 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:35,920 You want your grandkids, your nieces, your nephews, your neighbors, you want 133 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:42,040 them having to hear these data centers, deal with the water shortages, the rise 134 00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:42,040 of electric bills that we get from. 135 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:50,480 Why can't we leave these data centers in Lowland County, Prince William County, 136 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:56,959 Fairfax, and where all these areas that support Abigail Spamber? 137 00:10:54,320 --> 00:11:01,760 Um, they don't care about this part, this part of the state. 138 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:05,760 Um, do we really think that data centers 139 00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:11,680 will fit in with our tourism industry around here? Nobody else does. 140 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:16,480 Um, and if if it's an revenue, tax income, 141 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:21,200 revenue thing, why can't we get more factors in this place in this county? 142 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:26,800 I'm a lifelong I have lived in Carol County my whole life. 143 00:11:23,519 --> 00:11:33,200 We had the we had Mayfield, we had cross crew, we had all these other packers, 144 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:38,880 they closed down and we haven't really gotten a lot of jobs. We had Magnolia 145 00:11:35,519 --> 00:11:45,360 for decades. Now look at Magnolia. We are losing people to take younger 146 00:11:43,279 --> 00:11:50,800 generations are now going elsewhere so they can find jobs. 147 00:11:48,560 --> 00:11:56,720 So why can't we get factories in here instead of a data center? 148 00:11:53,920 --> 00:12:03,040 Uh, it's something else that some of the folks that I know one board must be 149 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:07,680 reminded of that no matter how long you've been on the board, no matter how 150 00:12:04,959 --> 00:12:11,440 what your last name is, what you've done respectfully, 151 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:17,538 come election time, each and every one of you can be replaced if you don't 152 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:20,920 represent your constituents. [applause] Thank you. 153 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:27,399 Okay, next is Ron Mclofflin. 154 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:36,920 » You don't want to speak? Thank you, sir. Okay, next is Jean Bergetta. 155 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,920 » Yes. 156 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:48,399 » I just um want to first start off by saying I'm not for zoning and not for 157 00:12:46,079 --> 00:12:53,360 data centers. I don't think I'm sorry. I don't think those are our only You know, 158 00:12:50,639 --> 00:12:58,820 it seems like there were big being given uh started out the noise about data 159 00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:02,320 centers and then it became the noise [snorts] about zoning and then it became 160 00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:07,200 we have to have both of those things. It sounded like from this board that in 161 00:13:04,399 --> 00:13:12,240 order to uh reel in data centers we need to have zoning. So in other words, both 162 00:13:09,279 --> 00:13:17,120 things are an inevitable thing it sounds like from this board. And I don't 163 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:23,600 believe that's the truth. And honestly, I think that uh a lot of the there's 164 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:29,600 been a lot of uh I'm trying to be nice about this obiscation as far as what uh 165 00:13:27,680 --> 00:13:34,399 the data centers approaching Carol County. It seems like we've been told 166 00:13:32,079 --> 00:13:38,720 many times, oh, nobody's approached us yet. It hasn't it isn't a thing. But in 167 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:43,120 fact, it is a thing. And it has been approached has been being talked about 168 00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:45,760 for quite a while now. So, um, you know, I don't think that we're being 169 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:50,720 represented, uh, truthfully [clears throat] and with, 170 00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:55,200 uh, you know, clarity. And I think we deserve that as as residents of this 171 00:13:52,639 --> 00:14:00,320 county.

Mr. Watson, you want to tell us about the 247 00:19:12,799 --> 00:19:19,039 » Okay. Uh, we approved the uh went through the process and approved the 248 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:24,160 budget this year to provide funding for uh Carol County Schools. Uh when we went 249 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:30,400 through the process, we knew that the budget was not approved from the state. 250 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:39,440 So, the funding would change based on uh the approved uh Virginia state budget. 251 00:19:35,039 --> 00:19:46,320 The uh reason for having the uh public hearing is because the total budget 252 00:19:41,919 --> 00:19:50,799 change would be more than 1% of the uh budget. 253 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:56,840 Out of this that's the uh total revenues that were received by the schools would 254 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,840 be uh 1,296,87. 255 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:02,360 of that only 277,594 256 00:20:03,360 --> 00:20:12,559 uh is local effort. Okay, we fund the school system at U 257 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:17,280 require local effort plus the additional programming and this is part of that as 258 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:23,600 well. So this is not an addition on top of u our local required effort or the 259 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:30,080 additional funding. So, okay. >> Uh, part of this funding they received 260 00:20:25,360 --> 00:20:34,720 was for special ed at risk uh school federal dollars for school uh 261 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:38,200 improvement, but the total amount of the change would be1,296,87. 262 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,640 Um 263 00:20:42,159 --> 00:20:52,880 uh if the board would like to uh move forward with it to vote to approve the 264 00:20:48,799 --> 00:20:56,520 uh bud budget appropriation request for fiscal year 2627 265 00:20:57,039 --> 00:21:05,120 close the public hearing at 7:40 school budget amendment and I'll 266 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:08,640 entertain a motion.

Based upon the 467 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:33,839 clear and consistent opposition expressed by the citizens of Carroll 468 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:38,480 County, I move that the board of supervisors decline to pursue or adopt 469 00:37:36,240 --> 00:37:42,560 the proposed countywide zoning zoning ordinance.

That's all I have. 486 00:38:38,079 --> 00:38:48,400 » Okay. Um, so I've got a few things I want to get into. Um, [clears throat] 487 00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:53,440 one thing on the This will be our This is, you know, the the old meal. Um, you 488 00:38:51,359 --> 00:38:58,880 know, there was 8 to 9 ines of rain that night. Um, we do have sympathy empathy 489 00:38:56,400 --> 00:39:04,560 for the for the people there, but we we've explained to um Mr. Smith several 490 00:39:02,079 --> 00:39:09,280 times, we're not the enforcement agency. Um, we don't have regulatory, we don't 491 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:13,119 regulate or have enforcement authority over impounds. And there was no 492 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:17,359 emergency action response as implemented because no one called 911. No emergency 493 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:22,240 calls were made. I mean we're boots on the ground will come if you call for 494 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:26,320 emergency but no one called we weren't even notified 495 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:30,400 by him until almost a week later that there been a damage and these already 496 00:39:28,720 --> 00:39:36,079 noninvoked emergency response procedures are determined that emergency existed. 497 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:40,079 So there was no emergency response for us to be Yeah, they they are in 498 00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:46,079 violation which we know that but the again we're not the enforcement 499 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:48,800 enforcement is DCR which um you want to say anything about that Mr. 500 00:39:47,119 --> 00:39:52,240 Fel Monica I mean I know you're all working with them and and they're 501 00:39:50,079 --> 00:39:57,200 they're going to regulate it and get it you know then we'll have a copy of it on 502 00:39:53,839 --> 00:40:01,200 on hand and that's that's where it lays. >> Yes. So I would just say that DCR is 503 00:39:59,359 --> 00:40:04,200 actively involved and they are the regency 504 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:23,599 agency and they are actively involved in working with the dam. Um I know they 505 00:40:21,119 --> 00:40:28,240 submitted a formalized letter advising them of the status of their 506 00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:32,640 non-compliance. Um, and we as uh emergency management, we're definitely 507 00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:37,119 in support of any action that needs to happen. We are to be a stakeholder and a 508 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:41,280 community partner with all of our dam owners. And at their request, we work 509 00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:46,240 with them, help them, give them guidance, participate in tabletop 510 00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:50,880 exercises, review their plans, and things of that nature. But we can only 511 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:56,079 do that when those dam owners that are required by the regulation to submit 512 00:40:53,200 --> 00:41:02,240 that to us. So, um, our plan moving forward is to reach out to all of our 513 00:40:58,720 --> 00:41:05,520 dam owners and, um, ask them if they do have an emergency action plan, would 514 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:11,040 they share that with us, which they are supposed to do, but we can ask them. And 515 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:15,359 our plan moving forward is to at least on an annual basis reach out to each of 516 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:19,680 our owners, let them know that we're interested, and if we don't hear from 517 00:41:17,359 --> 00:41:22,480 them, then we will let DCR know that we have not heard anything. Right. 518 00:41:21,119 --> 00:41:26,000 » And I feel like that would be our due diligence. Okay, thank you. 519 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:33,040 » I appreciate that. Thank you. >> I hate he's laughing, but um okay, the 520 00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:37,200 next thing um that I have I want to discuss, you know, talking about data 521 00:41:34,720 --> 00:41:40,079 centers. Um and again, I mean, some of you's been here, you know, I've lived 522 00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:44,240 all my life here, too. I've got kids here. You know, it's hard to find jobs. 523 00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:48,160 I mean, I know what you're talking about. And there I've drove away most of 524 00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:52,560 my life to work. We're not sitting here meeting with data centers. It's a buy 525 00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:55,680 right state. you know, you can be working one right now and I wouldn't 526 00:41:53,839 --> 00:41:58,800 know it, you know, and you can start it up. So, it's not like we're sitting down 527 00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:04,160 having conversation with all these data centers to come in. Um, you know, is 528 00:42:02,079 --> 00:42:11,200 there some things we can do? I'm hoping um in the PSA one thing we did do was we 529 00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:16,800 passed a policy that uh we passed it tonight as a matter of fact that any any 530 00:42:14,079 --> 00:42:23,200 commercial or industrial user that would require more than 40,000 gallons per day 531 00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:27,520 of drinking water capacity of such a daily consumption would have to come to 532 00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:33,040 the PSA board to get approval. So that's that's a big step. [applause] 533 00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:37,280 So, they can't just come in and PSA and take 300,000 gallons. They've got to 534 00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:39,920 come for permission. Um 40,000 gallons seems like a lot of water, but that's 535 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:44,079 not a lot of water. I mean, you know, there's there's a lot of places use more 536 00:42:42,079 --> 00:42:50,240 than that. But but that's a big step in my opinion, and I thank the PSA board 537 00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:56,560 for taking that step uh that we did. Um, another thing that I that I would would 538 00:42:52,400 --> 00:43:00,920 like to do is um Monday, Chris's not here, so if you need to know what Monday 539 00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,920 is, 540 00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:12,560 Monday, I'd like to advertise a meeting um Monday, September 14th at 5:30 541 00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:18,480 um to draft and adopt a data center ordinance 542 00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:23,520 that we can um move forward with. If you'll advertise that, Mr. Watson. 543 00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:29,400 And also um I think we need to have a a joint meeting with Britta 544 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:29,400 on Tuesday. 545 00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:40,800 Uh 5:30 will be Monday the data center and Tuesday is 5:30. Let's do 5:30 for 546 00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:44,119 Tuesday as well. 547 00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:53,200 » Do what? >> No, 548 00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:57,920 it's the third. So we have a services. 549 00:43:55,760 --> 00:44:02,640 Yeah, we should be good. Now they'll meet the week of the 21st. 550 00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:06,079 » Will those be public? >> Yes, there'll be some public portion. I 551 00:44:04,079 --> 00:44:09,359 mean, we're probably going to u you know have some conversations. You know, this 552 00:44:07,839 --> 00:44:15,040 is our first conversation with proceed as a board. So, uh but we will have some 553 00:44:12,240 --> 00:44:17,520 public comment. Yes. Or or at least give you some transparency of what we talked 554 00:44:16,720 --> 00:44:19,680 about. >> Public is invited. 555 00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:23,680 » Yes. >> Will it be here? 556 00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:26,880 » Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am. >> So, the the main money probably won't 557 00:44:25,359 --> 00:44:31,680 last very long. It's it's you know we'll have to draft an ordinance for the um 558 00:44:29,839 --> 00:44:36,400 data centers and but you're welcome to come at 5:30. Uh we'll do them both at 559 00:44:34,240 --> 00:44:40,880 5:30 if that's if that works for everybody. Make it simple Monday and 560 00:44:38,720 --> 00:44:44,599 Tuesday. Okay. And 561 00:44:45,119 --> 00:44:49,240 make sure I'm not missing anything. 562 00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:59,440 And I think we miss >> I do have one. 563 00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:05,119 » Okay. >> And I and I'll have to ask Mr. Watson on 564 00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:08,400 the appropriation for the do I need to appropriate that from the CIP or 565 00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:12,000 » which one >> for the ambulances? 566 00:45:10,240 --> 00:45:15,520 » It would have to be appropriated for the CIP. 567 00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:19,599 » Is the CIP is that a line item on the CIP?
