The Center for Natural Capital (The Center) is a

501 c-3 charitable organization whose mission is to

create, optimize and integrate natural capital

solutions into the marketplace to

achieve beneficial social and

environmental outcomes.

Natural Capital (our stock of

natural assets like soils, water and

biodiversity) provides a wide range

of benefits to humans with services

like clean water for drinking,

productive soils for agriculture and

pollination of crops. These are

called Ecosystem Services and our

society relies on these services to thrive. For many

reasons, the quality and health of these assets

and services are in decline and intervention is

often necessary to restore nature’s ability to

provide these services.

The Center raises local social and

environmental awareness by

providing meaningful employment

to create healthier ecosystems

which can provide us with these

vital services. Some of the Center’s

programs may directly rebuild

natural capital (healthy soil) while

others may enhance an ecosystem

service (clean water). We achieve

this by supporting the values of the

communities within which we

operate to engage the power of entrepreneurism

to improve our ecosystems and our economies.

StreamSweepers How does The Center enhance our river services to our communities?

StreamSweepers is our entrepreneurial

intervention to enhance the clean water services

our rivers provide us. Over the last four years we

have employed nearly 50 of Central Virginia’s

young adults to complete riparian assessment,

cleaning and maintenance of three river systems

(Rapidan, Robinson and Hughes) in their entirety

totaling more than 115 miles. These efforts are the

first comprehensive cleaning and assessment of

entire river valleys in Virginia’s history.

This is important work because these rivers are

the source of the drinking water that water

filtration plants provide to hundreds of thousands

of people. Sweepers remove pollution causing

debris from our rivers to provide us with clean

water.

StreamSweepers is the bridge between youth

camps and clubs and successful adult

employment. Our employees have gone on to

declare college majors not only in fields like

wildlife and fisheries biology, but also in business

with an emphasis in sustainability. While this is

great, what is even better is that regardless of

their career path, Sweepers tell us that they have

a vision for a positive future – a vision for how they

can take care of themselves, their communities

and future generations.

Community Energy Program How does our energy fuel choice affect the health of our forest capital?

As water runs through the

landscape, so does energy.

And as energy decisions tend

to be made by facility

managers with a singular focus

on cost, the Center’s

Community Energy Program

seeks to show how energy

decisions are intertwined with

the local economy, society and

ecology. Our Community

Energy Program connects

communities to their landscape

by creating a new kind of

business demand for more

ecological harvesting and

management of nearby

forestland. Heating buildings

with locally sourced biofuels

(wood and grasses) creates

markets for otherwise low/no

value material, encouraging

landowners to manage their

forests and grasslands, keeping

forests as forests and promoting

a healthy and diverse

landscape. This type of energy

burns cleanly, creates local jobs

to grow, harvest, and process

the fuel, and cycles carbon

quickly as compared to burning

fossil fuels. Wood and native

grasses have been used for

centuries to heat homes in

other parts of the U.S. and in

Europe and now with new

technologies can safely and

cleanly heat and power public

facilities and commercial

buildings. Not only is

Community Energy affordable

and creates local jobs, it can

help revitalize rural areas facing

tough economic headwinds.

Appalachian Wood Energy Hub Building a bridge between healthy forests, clean rivers and economically vibrant communities in SWVA.

In 2017, the Center, in partnership with

Mountain Heritage and other community

development organizations in Southwest

Virginia proposes to establish a new Regional

Appalachian Wood Energy Hub that will

integrate river valley, mountain forest and

community economic health. As healthy

forested landscapes are the source of the water

for rivers and rivers are the source of drinking

water and recreational economic activity for

vibrant communities, wood energy ties the

three together.

The Appalachian Wood Energy Hub will

serve the SWVA region by establishing a new

wood pellet and associated products

processing and distribution facility in the St. Paul

area. The Hub will improve the health of the

regions forests by using invasive species and the

low/no value woody material removed during

forest management to produce fuels for

heating area residential, commercial and

public buildings.

The Hub will also be the seasonal base of

operation for the StreamSweepers, who will be

improving the health of the Clinch, Powell and

Holston Rivers. By creating a fuel from the

byproducts of forest management, the Hub will

provide a locally-produced fuel that supports

local jobs, forest and river health, and in the

long run, the outdoor recreation tourism

industry. What makes this project different from

other wood pellet projects is its focus is on local

fuels for benefit of the local forests, rivers and

communities!

Natural Capital, P.O. Box 901, Orange, VA 22960. 501©(3) 20-1996189

The Center’s focus includes the economic revitalization of rural areas through the

restoration of the natural capital needed for the provision of ecosystem services.

RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF RUSSELL COUNTY, VIRGINIA

CONSENTING TO THE ISSUANCE OF WATER REVENUE BONDS BY THE RUSSELL COUNTY

PUBLIC SERVICE AUTHORITY AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF FINANCING

AGREEMENTS AND SUPPORT AGREEMENTS PROVIDING FOR RUSSELL COUNTY’S

MORAL OBLIGATION TO MAKE CERTAIN APPROPRIATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE

BONDS

The Russell County Public Service Authority (the “Authority”) proposes to issue its $512,053 Water

Revenue Bond, Series 2017 and $197,027 Water Revenue Bond, Series 2017 (the “Bonds”) to the Virginia

Resource Authority, as Administrator of the Virginia Water Supply Revolving Fund (the “VRA”), to finance

waterline extensions in the Fincastle Estates, Thompson Creek, and Tunnel Road areas in Russell County

(the “Projects”) as improvements to the Authority’s water system (the “System).

The Authority has requested the Board of Supervisors of Russell County, Virginia (the “County”)

to facilitate the issuance and sale of the Bonds by consenting to the issuance of the Bonds and providing

for the County’s pledge of certain water revenues and its moral obligation to make certain appropriations

to the Authority with respect to the Bonds and the System.

As part of its plan for financing the Projects, the Authority proposes to execute the following

documents, drafts of which have been presented to the Board of Supervisors at this meeting:

a. two Financing Agreements (the “Financing Agreements”) between the

Authority and the VRA, and to which the Board of Supervisors of the County

is asked to acknowledge, consent and agree; and

b. two Support Agreements (the “Support Agreements”), between the

Authority, the Board of Supervisors of the County, and the VRA.

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF RUSSELL COUNTY, VIRGINIA:

The Authority’s plan of financing for the Projects, substantially on the terms set forth in

the Financing Agreements and which involves the issuance of the Bonds, is approved, and the Board of

Supervisors finds that the issuance of the Bonds will benefit the inhabitants of Russell County. The Board

of Supervisors consents to the issuance of the Bonds.

The Board of Supervisors agrees, in accordance with the Support Agreement, to pay to

the Authority amounts sufficient to pay the debt service under the Bonds and any other indebtedness

secured by or payable from the revenues of the System, including the Existing Parity Bonds set forth on

Exhibit F to the Financing Agreements, the operation and maintenance expense of the System of which

the Projects are a part, and additional payments for costs and expenses related to any amendment,

waiver, consent, or collection or enforcement proceedings under either Financing Agreement, subject to

annual appropriation by the Board of Supervisors, all on the terms and conditions to be provided in the

Support Agreements. The County’s obligations to make payments to the Authority pursuant to this

resolution shall be subject to and dependent upon annual appropriations being made from time to time

by the Board of Supervisors for such purpose. Nothing in this resolution, the Bonds or the Support

Agreements shall constitute a debt of the County within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory

limitation or a pledge of the faith or credit or the taxing power of the County.

The Board of Supervisors of the County acknowledges that (i) the obligations of the

Authority to determine, and of the County to pay, the charges for the use of and for services to be

furnished by the System (as defined in the Financing Agreement) are crucial to the security for the Bonds,

(ii) VRA would not purchase the Bonds without the security and credit enhancement provided by the

Support Agreements, (iii) VRA will be a third party beneficiary of the Support Agreement for so long as the

Bonds remain outstanding, and (iv) VRA is treating each Support Agreement as a “local obligation” within

the meaning of Section 62.1-199 of the Code of Virginia of 1950, as amended (the “Virginia Code”), which

in the event of a nonpayment thereunder authorizes VRA or the trustee for VRA’s bonds to file an affidavit

with the Governor that such nonpayment has occurred pursuant to Section 62.1-216.1 of the Virginia

Code. Section 62.1-216.1 of the Virginia Code provides that if the Governor is satisfied that such

nonpayment has occurred, the Governor will immediately make an order directing the Comptroller to

withhold all further payment to the County of all funds, or of any part of them, appropriated and payable

by the Commonwealth of Virginia to the County for any and all purposes, and the Governor will, while the

nonpayment continues, direct in writing the payment of all sums withheld by the Comptroller, or as much

of them as is necessary, to VRA, so as to cure, or cure insofar as possible, such nonpayment.

Any one of the Chairman or Vice-Chairman of the Board of Supervisors or the County

Administrator is authorized and directed to execute and deliver the Financing Agreements and the

Support Agreements. The Financing Agreements and the Support Agreements shall be in substantially

the forms presented at this meeting, which are approved, with such completions, omissions, insertions

and changes as may be approved by the officer executing the agreement, his execution to constitute

conclusive evidence of his approval of any such completions, omissions, insertions or changes. The County

Administrator is authorized and directed to take such actions and give such notices as may be required of

him under the Financing Agreements and the Support Agreements.

The County’s obligations to make payments to the Authority pursuant to this resolution shall be subject to and dependent upon annual appropriations being made from time to time by the Board of Supervisors for such purpose. Nothing in this resolution, the Bonds or the Support ‘Agreements shall constitute a debt of the County within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation or a pledge of the faith or credit or the taxing power of the County.

The Board of Supervisors of the County acknowledges that (i) the obligations of the Authority to determine, and of the County to pay, the charges for the use of and for services to be furnished by the System (as defined in the Financing Agreement) are crucial to the security for the Bonds, (ii) VRA would not purchase the Bonds without the security and credit enhancement provided by the Support Agreements, (ii) VRA will be a third party beneficiary of the Support Agreement for so long as the Bonds remain outstanding, and (iv) VRA is treating each Support Agreement as a “local obligation” within the meaning of Section 62.1-199 of the Code of Virginia of 1950, as amended (the “Virginia Code”), which in the event of a nonpayment thereunder authorizes VRA or the trustee for VRA’s bonds to file an affidavit with the Governor that such nonpayment has occurred pursuant to Section 62.1-216.1 of the Virginia Code. Section 62.1-216.1 of the Virginia Code provides that if the Governor is satisfied that such nonpayment has occurred, the Governor will immediately make an order directing the Comptroller to withhold all further payment to the County of all funds, or of any part of them, appropriated and payable by the Commonwealth of Virginia to the County for any and all purposes, and the Governor will, while the nonpayment continues, direct in writing the payment of all sums withheld by the Comptroller, or as much of them as is necessary, to VRA, so as to cure, or cure insofar as possible, such nonpayment.
Any one of the Chairman or Vice-Chairman of the Board of Supervisors or the County Administrator is authorized and directed to execute and deliver the Financing Agreements and the Support Agreements. The Financing Agreements and the Support Agreements shall be in substantially the forms presented at this meeting, which are approved, with such completions, omissions, insertions and changes as may be approved by the officer executing the agreement, his execution to constitute conclusive evidence of his approval of any such completions, omissions, insertions or changes. The County Administrator is authorized and directed to take such actions and give such notices as may be required of him under the Financing Agreements and the Support Agreements.
This resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.

binding commitment to make such appropriations in future fiscal years, hereby states its intent to

make such appropriations in future fiscal years, and hereby recommends that future Boards of

Supervisors do likewise.
