New National Opioids Settlements: Teva, Allergan, CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart Opioids Implementation Administrator [email protected]
Russell County, VA Reference Number: CL-393034
TO LOCAL POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS AND SPECIAL DISTRICTS:
THIS PACKAGE CONTAINS DOCUMENTATION TO PARTICIPATE IN THE NEW NATIONAL OPIOID SETTLEMENTS. YOU MUST TAKE ACTION IN ORDER TO
PARTICIPATE.
Deadline: April 18, 2023
Five new proposed national opioid settlements (“New National Opioid Settlements”) have been reached with Teva, Allergan, CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart (“Settling Defendants”). This Participation Package is a follow-up communication to the Notice of National Opioid Settlements recently received electronically by your subdivision or special district (“subdivision”).
You are receiving this Participation Package because Virginia is participating in the following settlements:
Teva Allergan CVS Walgreens Walmart
If a state does not participate in a particular Settlement, the subdivisions in that state are not eligible to participate in that Settlement.
This electronic envelope contains:
Participation Forms for Teva, Allergan, CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart, including a release of any claims.
The Participation Form for each settlement must be executed, without alteration, and submitted on or before April 18, 2023, in order for your subdivision to be considered for initial participation calculations and payment eligibility.
Based upon subdivision participation forms received on or before April 18th, the subdivision participation rate will be used to determine whether participation for each deal is sufficient for the settlement to move forward and whether a state earns its maximum potential payment under the settlement. If the settlement moves forward, your release will become effective. If a settlement does not move forward, that release will not become effective.

The Participation Form for each settlement must be executed, without alteration, and submitted on or before April 18, 2023, in order for your subdivision to be considered for initial participation calculations and payment eligibility.

If the settlement moves forward, your release will become effective. If a settlement does not move forward, that release will not become effective
Any subdivision that does not participate cannot directly share in the settlement funds, even if the subdivision’s state is settling and other participating subdivisions are sharing in settlement funds. Any subdivision that does not participate may also reduce the amount of money for programs to remediate the opioid crisis in its state. Please note, a subdivision will not necessarily directly receive settlement funds by participating; decisions on how settlement funds will be allocated within a state are subject to intrastate agreements or state statutes.
In Virginia, participating counties and independent cities may receive some of the settlement funds directly, pursuant to the allocation framework set forth in the Virginia Opioid Abatement Fund and Settlement Allocation Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”), which has been previously approved by all Virginia counties and cities, and the Virginia Opioid Abatement Fund statute, Va. Code § 2.2- 2374. In addition, some towns are being asked to approve the settlements and submit participation forms because, due to the structure of the settlement agreements, towns above a certain population threshold must approve the settlements and submit participation forms in order to maximize the overall recovery for the Commonwealth and its subdivisions. Participating towns are not eligible to receive direct shares from the settlement funds—however, they may be able to apply for, request, or receive funds for opioid abatement programs through their counties. Participation by these towns will help to maximize the recovery for all of Virginia’s counties, including the counties in which they are located.
You are encouraged to discuss the terms and benefits of the New National Opioid Settlements with your counsel, your Attorney General’s Office, and other contacts within your state. Many states are implementing and allocating funds for these new settlements the same as they did for the prior opioid settlements with McKesson, Cardinal, Amerisource, and J&J/Janssen, but states may choose to treat these settlements differently.
Information and documents regarding the New National Opioid Settlements and how they are being implemented in your state and how funds will be allocated within your state allocation can be found on the national settlement website at https://nationalopioidsettlement.com/. This website will be supplemented as additional documents are created.
How to return signed forms:
There are three methods for returning the executed Participation Forms and any supporting documentation to the Implementation Administrator:
(1) Electronic Signature via DocuSign: Executing the Participation Forms electronically through DocuSign will return the signed forms to the Implementation Administrator and associate your forms with your subdivision’s records. Electronic signature is the most efficient method for returning Participation Forms, allowing for more timely participation and the potential to meet higher settlement payment thresholds, and is therefore strongly encouraged.

Information and documents regarding the New National Opioid Settlements and how they are being implemented in your state and how funds will be allocated within your state allocation can be found on the national settlement website at
https://nationalopioidsettlement.com/. This website will be supplemented as additional documents are created.

Electronic signature is the most efficient method for returning Participation Forms, allowing for more timely participation and the potential to meet higher settlement payment thresholds, and is therefore strongly encouraged

Fwd: Information on proposed Clinch River Plant battery grant 1 message
Lou Wallace [email protected] Tue, Feb 14, 2023 at 6:53 PM To: Lonzo Lester [email protected]
---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Larry E Jackson [email protected] Date: Tue, Feb 14, 2023, 5:04 PM Subject: Information on proposed Clinch River Plant battery grant To: [email protected] [email protected] Cc: Don Nichols II [email protected]
Ms. Wallace,
It was good to talk to you today about the battery project being considered for the Clinch River Plant. Thank you in advance for considering a letter of support for the grant.
As background, Appalachian Power is in the process of applying for a federal grant to site a long-duration iron-air energy storage battery at Clinch River. This application requires letters of support from the community, and thus my request to Russell County. Here are some additional facts about our proposal based on the questions you had this afternoon:
Water Impact
We are unaware of any water impacts at this point in the project If our plan is awarded by the DOE, APCo will undertake any and all measures necessary and ensure the proper authorities are knowledgeable of our plan
Size of project
The project will require approximately 15 acres of flat land It also requires an easy interconnect with the 138kV grid This makes the Clinch River site desirable for this proposed project
Tax impacts
We have conducted an “IMPLAN” study to determine the tax impact of the project However, our model does not allow us to extract the impacts for an individual county or independent city. Rather, it is done at the state level However, based on our model and the outputs, which are an aggregation of taxes for each subset of the study region, we estimate a total tax impact (local, state and federal) of approximately $8.8 million
I hope this answers your questions. Please let me know if any additional information is required. Thanks for your consideration of providing us with a Letter of Support for this important project.

‘As background, Appalachian Power in the process of applying fr a federal grant to site a long-duration iron-ar energy storage battery at Clinch River. This ‘application requires letters of suppor from the community, and thus my request to Russell County. Here are some addtional facts about our proposal based (on the questions you had this afternoon:
Water impact
- We are unaware of any water impacts at this point in the project
- If our plan is awarded by the DOE, APCo will undertake any and all measures necessary and ensure the proper authorities are knowledgeable of our plan
Size of project
+The project wil require approximatoly 15 acres of flat land ‘+ Italso requires an easy interconnect with the 138KV grid ‘+ This makes the Clinch River site desirable for this proposed project
Tax impacts
-
We have conducted an “IMPLAN” study to determine the tax impact ofthe project
-
However, our model does not allow us to extract the impacts for an individual county or independent city. Rather, itis done at the state level
-
However, based on our model and the outputs, which are an aggregation of taxes for each subset ofthe study region, we estimate a total tax ‘impact (local, state and federal) of approximately $8.8 million
| hope this answers your questions. Please let me know if any additional information is required. Thanks for your consideration of providing us witha Letter of ‘Support for this important project.

RE: Letter of Support for DOE Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) Long-Duration Energy Storage
Demonstrations Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) DE-FOA-0002867 Topic Area 2C
To Whom It May Concern:
On behalf of Russell County, Virginia, we would like to voice support for American Electric Power (“AEP”) and its grant application under the Long-Duration Energy Storage Demonstrations FOA DE-FOA-0002867 (“LDES”). As one of the largest electricity producers in the nation, AEP has established a goal to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2045. AEP is making our nation’s energy grid cleaner, more resilient, and more reliable by implementing ambitious clean energy targets and a continuous improvement mindset.
Russell County is a community of nearly 26,000 residents nestled in the mountains of Southwest Virginia.
The Clinch River Power Plant has been an integral part of our community for nearly 65 years and we
believe this investment in new battery technology will allow it to remain an important part of our
community for years to come.
AEP continues to invest in renewable technologies, such as wind and solar, that could potentially provide greater benefits to customers if paired with LDES. Installing cost-effective multi-day 24+ hours LDES technology would have widespread benefits on the residents in Russell County, Virginia and the surrounding coalfield counties. We believe investing in this project would create significant opportunities to support technology solutions that increase the flexibility, efficiency, reliability, and resilience of the electric power system. Smart grids and grid resilience would significantly benefit our communities within AEP’s service territories.
AEP has demonstrated its commitment to safely and reliably fulfilling its customers’ power needs. We are confident that AEP can effectively implement this multi-day 24+ hours LDES storage technology project. With over 100 years of proven ability to build world-class infrastructure, coordinate community- wide efforts, and collaborate with local stakeholders, AEP has our full support. We hope that the Department of Energy will fulfill this vital infrastructure funding request.

DWR recommends DCOR review DWR’s Best Management Practices for Tri-Colored Bats that is accessible online at http://www.dwr.virginia.gov/wp-content/uploads/LBBA_TCBA_Guidance.pdf.
Impacts to Wildlife and Natural Resources
To minimize overall impacts to wildlife and natural resources, DWR has the following recommendations about development activities:
• Avoid and minimize impacts to undisturbed forest, wetlands, and streams to the fullest extent practicable as applicable. Avoidance and minimization of impact may include relocating stream channels as opposed to filling or channelizing as well as using, and incorporating into the development plan, a natural stream
channel design and forested riparian buffers.
• Maintain undisturbed naturally vegetated buffers of at least 100 feet in width around all on-site wetlands and on both sides of all perennial and intermittent streams.
• Maintain wooded lots to the fullest extent possible.
• Design stormwater controls for this project to replicate and maintain the hydrographic condition of the site prior to the change in landscape. This should include, but not be limited to, utilizing bioretention areas, and minimizing the use of curb and gutter in favor of grassed swales. Bioretention areas (also called rain gardens) and grass swales are components of Low Impact Development (LID). They are designed to capture stormwater runoff as close to the source as possible and allow it to infiltrate slowly into the surrounding soil. They benefit natural resources by filtering pollutants and decreasing downstream runoff volumes.
• Adhere to a time-of-year restriction from March 15 through August 15 of any year for tree removal and ground clearing to protect nesting resident and migratory songbirds.

See DHR’s website for more information about applicable state and federal laws and how to submit an application for review: http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/StateStewardship/Index.htm.
6(b) Agency Findings. DHR states that there are no known archaeological resources in the project area of potential effect (APE); however, the APE has never been surveyed for archaeological resources. A review of historic aerial and topographic images indicates that the APE has been disturbed by at least one cycle of construction and demolition. Additionally, the APE was likely disturbed when the wastewater treatment plant was constructed. Based on this information, there is very little likelihood of encountering intact archaeological deposits in the APE. No historic architectural resources will be impacted by this project.
6© Agency Recommendation. In the event that previously unidentified archaeological resources are discovered during ground disturbing activities, all construction work involving subsurface disturbance should be halted in the area of the resource and in the surrounding area where further subsurface remains can be reasonably expected to occur. The State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) via DHR should be contacted for further guidance before proceeding with additional site work.

8(b) Requirements. DEQ SWRO states that modifications and upgrades to wastewater treatment works may have additional implications to the VPDES permit associated with the facility. Coordinate DEQ SWRO prior to construction to ensure compliance.
- Water Withdrawal Permitting and Compliance. The EIR (page 23) states that impacts to groundwater are not anticipated. However, the EIR does not address how the facility obtains water for utility uses.
9(a) Agency Jurisdiction. The DEQ Office of Water Supply administers the regulation for groundwater and surface water reporting and permitting, which requires monthly measure and annual reporting of surface and ground water withdrawals by applicable individuals or facilities that meet the threshold. The purpose of withdrawal reporting is to enable appropriate planning for the Commonwealth’s future water needs through the collection of accurate information.
Under the Ground Water Management Act of 1992, the DEQ Water Withdrawal Permitting Program regulates ground water withdrawals in certain areas called Ground Water Management Areas. Groundwater is regulated under:
▪ The Ground Water Management Act of 1992 (Virginia Code, Title 62.1, Chapter 25)
▪ Designated Groundwater Management Areas (9VAC25-600-10 et seq.) ▪ The Groundwater Withdrawal Regulations (9VAC25-610-10 et seq.)
The Virginia Water Protection Permit (VWP) Program regulates surface water withdrawals from state waters and related permanent structures, fill, excavation, or back-flooding. DEQ issues VWP permits for such impacts through use of the joint permit application process and collaboration between the Office of Water Supply and the Office of Wetlands and Stream Protection. Examples of projects include, but are not limited to,

design, and operational procedures that will facilitate the reduction of wastes at the source.
12(a) Recommendations. We have several pollution prevention recommendations that may be helpful in constructing or operating this facility:
• Consider development of an effective Environmental Management System (EMS). An effective EMS will ensure that the proposed facility is committed to complying with environmental regulations, reducing risk, minimizing environmental impacts, setting environmental goals, and achieving improvements in its environmental performance. DEQ offers EMS development assistance and recognizes facilities with effective Environmental Management Systems through its Virginia Environmental Excellence Program (VEEP). VEEP provides recognition, annual permit fee discounts, and the possibility for alternative compliance methods.
• Consider environmental attributes when purchasing materials. For example, the extent of recycled material content, toxicity level, and amount of packaging should be considered and can be specified in purchasing contracts.
• Consider energy efficiency when choosing materials and products, like insulation, fixtures, and HVAC systems.
• Consider contractors’ commitment to the environment when choosing contractors. Specifications regarding raw materials and construction practices can be included in contract documents and requests for proposals.
• Choose sustainable materials and practices for building construction and design.
• Integrate pollution prevention techniques into the facility maintenance and operation, to include inventory control for centralized storage of hazardous materials. Maintenance facilities should have sufficient and suitable space to allow for effective inventory control and preventive maintenance.
DEQ’s Office of Pollution Prevention provides information and technical assistance relating to pollution prevention techniques and EMS. If interested, please contact DEQ (Meghann Quinn at 804-698-4021).

PRR also administers the Land & Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) program in Virginia.
Division of Natural Heritage
The Department of Conservation and Recreation’s Division of Natural Heritage (DCR) has searched its Biotics Data System for occurrences of natural heritage resources from the area outlined on the submitted map. Natural heritage resources are defined as the habitat of rare, threatened, or endangered plant and animal species, unique or exemplary natural communities, and significant geologic formations.
Please note according to DCR’s predictive suitable habitat models, potential may exist for aquatic natural heritage resources, including several federally and/ or state protected rare mussels, downstream from the project area in the Clinch River. To minimize adverse impacts to the aquatic ecosystem as a result of the proposed activities, DCR recommends the implementation of and strict adherence to applicable state and local erosion and sediment control/storm water management laws and regulations. DCR supports the use of uv/ozone to replace chlorination disinfection and the long-term benefits from the proposed upgrades to the treatment plant. Due to the potential presence of freshwater mussels downstream in the Clinch River, DCR also recommends adoption of ammonia limits protective of mussels for the VPDES permit.
This project area also intersects the karst bedrock screening layer. Encountering undocumented caves, sinkholes or other sensitive karst features in this area is possible.

karst will help to reduce any potential impact to the karst, groundwater and surface water resources as well as any associated fauna and flora.
If karst features such as sinkholes, caves, disappearing streams, and large springs are encountered during the project, please coordinate with Wil Orndorff (540-230-5960, [email protected]) the Virginia DCR, Division of Natural Heritage Karst Protection Coordinator, to document and minimize adverse impacts. Activities such as discharge of runoff to sinkholes or sinking streams, filling of sinkholes, and alteration of cave entrances can lead to environmental impacts including surface collapse, flooding, erosion and sedimentation, contamination of groundwater and springs, and degradation of subterranean habitat for natural heritage resources (e.g. cave adapted invertebrates, bats). These potential impacts are not necessarily limited to the immediate project area, as karst systems can transport water and associated contaminants rapidly over relatively long distances, depending on the nature of the local karst system. If the project involves filling or “improvement” of sinkholes or cave openings, DCR would like detailed location information and copies of the design specifications. In cases where sinkhole improvement is for storm water discharge, copies of VDOT Form EQ-120 will suffice.
DCR recommends all applicable federal, state, and local regulations and guidelines be adhered to in the VPDES permitting of this project. If these regulations are met, it will help reduce any potential impact to the karst, groundwater and surface water resources as well as any associated fauna and flora.
Under a Memorandum of Agreement established between the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) and the DCR, DCR represents VDACS in comments regarding potential impacts on state-listed threatened and endangered plant and insect species. The current activity will not affect any documented state-listed plants or insects.

Hi Julia. I am sorry these comments are coming late. I lost a few workdays to Covid and am working on getting caught up. I hope these comments are still useful.
Ms. Wellman,
We have reviewed the subject project that proposes upgrades to a wastewater treatment plant in Russell County. The Clinch River in the project area is designated a Threatened and Endangered Species Water due to the presence of a significant number of state and federally listed aquatic species, including but not limited to: Tennessee Beans, Oyster Mussels, Sickle Darters, and Slender Chubs. We also document Federally Proposed State Endangered Tri-Colored Bats from the project area.
Provided that no instream work is proposed as part of the upgrades to the wastewater treatment plant, we do not anticipate adverse impacts upon listed species in the Clinch River to result from activities associated with this particular project. However, DWR will work with DEQ and the applicant on the issuance/reissuance of the VPDES permit associated with this facility to address any concerns related to operation of the facility to ensure avoidance of impacts upon listed aquatic species and other resources under our jurisdiction.
DWR’s online bat hibernacula and roost applications do not indicate that the project site occurs within any regulatory buffers of known Tri-Colored Bat hibernacula or roosts. Therefore, we do not anticipate adverse impacts upon this species to result from activities associated with this project. However, we do recommend review of DWR’s Best Management Practices for Tri-Colored Bats, accessible here:
http://www.dwr.virginia.gov/wp-content/uploads/LBBA_TCBA_Guidance.pdf
To minimize overall impacts to wildlife and our natural resources, we offer the following comments about development activities: we recommend that the applicant avoid and minimize impacts to undisturbed forest, wetlands, and streams to the fullest extent practicable. Avoidance and minimization of impact may include relocating stream channels as opposed to filling or channelizing as well as using, and incorporating into the development plan, a natural stream channel design and forested riparian buffers. We recommend maintaining undisturbed naturally vegetated buffers of at least 100 feet in width around all on-site wetlands and on both sides of all perennial and intermittent streams. We recommend maintaining wooded lots to the fullest extent possible. We generally do not support proposals to mitigate wetland impacts through the construction of stormwater management ponds, nor do we support the creation of in-stream stormwater management ponds.
We recommend that the stormwater controls for this project be designed to replicate and maintain the hydrographic condition of the site prior to the change in landscape. This should include, but not be limited to, utilizing bioretention areas, and minimizing the use of curb and gutter in favor of grassed swales. Bioretention areas (also called rain gardens) and grass swales are components of Low Impact Development (LID). They are designed to capture stormwater runoff as close to the source as possible and allow it to slowly infiltrate into the surrounding soil. They benefit natural resources by filtering pollutants and decreasing downstream runoff volumes.

We recommend that all tree removal and ground clearing adhere to a time of year restriction (TOYR) protective of resident and migratory songbird nesting from March 15 through August 15 of any year.
We recommend adherence to erosion and sediment controls during ground disturbance. To minimize potential wildlife entanglements resulting from use of synthetic/plastic erosion and sediment control matting, we recommend use of matting made from natural/organic materials such as coir fiber, jute, and/or burlap.
We recommend protecting from impacts a naturally vegetated buffer of at least 300 ft on both sides of waters known to support listed aquatic species.
In addition to the listed species and wildlife resources mentioned above, a number of species designated as Species of Greatest Conservation Need in Virginia’s Wildlife Action Plan are likely to occur, if suitable habitat exists, in and around the project area. We recommend that the Virginia Wildlife Action Plan (available through www.bewildvirginia.gov) be reviewed to determine what threats are known to these species, what constitutes suitable habitat for these species, and how to best protect them and their habitats from harm.
This project is located within 2 miles of a documented occurrence of federally-listed species. To ensure protection of such species, we recommend coordination with the USFWS through their Online Project Review Process (https://www.fws.gov/office/virginia-ecological-services/virginia-field-office-online-review-process).
This project is located within 2 miles of a documented occurrence of a state or federal threatened or endangered plant or insect species and/or other Natural Heritage coordination species. Therefore, we recommend coordination with VDCR-DNH regarding protection of these resources.

Julia- There are no known archaeological resources in the project area of potential effect (APE); however, the APE has never been surveyed for archaeological resources. A review of historic aerial and topographic images indicates that the APE has been disturbed by at least one cycle of construction and demolition. Additionally, the APE was likely disturbed when the waste water treatment plant was constructed. Based on this information, there is very little likelihood of encountering intact archaeological deposits in the APE. In the event that previously unidentified archaeological resources are discovered during ground disturbing activities, all construction work involving subsurface disturbances should be halted in the area of the resource and in the surrounding area where further subsurface remains can be reasonably expected to occur. The State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) via VDHR should be contacted for further guidance before proceeding with additional site work. No historic architectural resources will be impacted by this project.

Re: DEQ Project # 22-197S
Dear Ms. Helbert,
Thank you for submitting this proposed project for wastewater treatment plant upgrades at the Appalachian Detention Center Unit #29 to the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality. This site is located on Rt. 640 southeast of Honaker, in Russell County, Virginia. Proposed activities include the construction of a new laboratory building, a new UV disinfection building, an additional digester, and a sludge fan press building / covered concrete pad sludge storage area. An estimated 3,400 square feet of open grassy area would be disturbed for this construction. Also proposed is the replacement or refurbishing of most of the existing equipment at the wastewater treatment plant, with no change to the footprint of current structures. These proposed upgrades would not increase the overall design capacity of the wastewater treatment plant.
This project area is in the watershed of the Clinch River in the Tennessee and Big Sandy River Basin (Clinch River Subbasin), Section 2, Class IV. The Clinch River in this area is currently unassessed. For more information, please contact DEQ Regional TMDL Coordinator David Nichols at [email protected].
The following discussion is provided as a guideline of programs administered by the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), which could be applicable to the proposed action. Final determination concerning potential impacts on these programs rests with DEQ’s Southwest Regional Office.

The Department of Environmental Quality has no objections to the project provided that
the applicant abides by all applicable state, Federal, and local laws and regulations.
Prior to construction, all permits and approvals must be obtained. In general,
development must incorporate features which prevent significant adverse impacts on
ambient air quality, water quality, wetlands, historic structures, fish wildlife, and species
of plants, animals, or insects listed by state agencies as rare, threatened, or
endangered.
- Water Quality and Wetlands. Although no long-term adverse impacts to water quality are anticipated from this project, potential short-term adverse impacts resulting from surface runoff due to construction must be minimized. This can be achieved by using Best Management Practices (BMPs).
Federal and state governments regulate impacts to streams and wetlands. The Virginia Marine Resources Commission serves as the clearinghouse for the Joint Permit Application (JPA) used by: (1) U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for issuing permits pursuant to § 404 of the Clean Water Act and § 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act; (2) Department of Environmental Quality for issuance of Virginia Water Protection Permit pursuant to § 401 of the Clean Water Act, Virginia Code § 62.1-44.2 et seq., Virginia Code § 62.1-44.15:5, and Virginia Administrative Code 9 VAC 25-210-10 et seq.; and (3) Virginia Marine Resources Commission regulates encroachments on or over state- owned subaqueous beds as well as tidal wetlands pursuant to Virginia Code § 28.2- 1200 through 1400. Contact VMRC at (757) 247-2200 to determine the need for a JPA for this project. VMRC will distribute the application to the appropriate agencies. Each agency will conduct its review and respond.
In general, DEQ recommends that the amount of stream and wetland impacts be avoided to the maximum extent practicable. For unavoidable impacts, DEQ encourages the following practices to minimize the impacts to wetlands and waterways: use of directional drilling from upland locations; operation of machinery and construction vehicles outside of stream-beds and wetlands; use of synthetic mats when in-stream work is unavoidable; stockpiling of material excavated from the trench for replacement if directional drilling is not feasible; and preservation of the top 12 inches of trench material removed from wetlands for use as wetland seed and root stock in the excavated area. The Southwest Regional contact is currently David Nishida at (276) 698-7680 or email [email protected] if a permit is necessary to go forward with the project.
- Erosion and Sediment Control and Stormwater Management. Erosion and sediment control measures must be implemented in accordance with the current edition of the Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook and the Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Regulations, which are available online: https://www.deq.virginia.gov/water/stormwater/esc-handbook. If the total land disturbance exceeds 10,000 square feet, an erosion and sediment control plan will be required. Erosion and sediment control requirements are regulated by the local

For unavoidable impacts, DEQ encourages the following practices to minimize the impacts to wetlands and waterways: use of directional drilling from upland locations; operation of machinery and construction vehicles outside of stream-beds and wetlands; use of synthetic mats when in-stream work is unavoidable; stockpiling of material excavated from the trench for replacement if directional drilling is not feasible; and preservation of the top 12 inches of trench material removed from wetlands for use as wetland seed and root stock in the excavated area. The Southwest Regional contact is currently David Nishida at (276) 698-7680 or email David. Nishida@deq. virginia.gov if a permit is necessary to go forward with the project.
- Erosion and Sediment Control and Stormwater Management. Erosion and sediment control measures must be implemented in accordance with the current edition of the Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook and the Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Regulations, which are available online: https://www.dea. virginia. goviwater/stormwater/esc-handbook, If the total land disturbance exceeds 10,000 square feet, an erosion and sediment control plan will be required.

Pollution Prevention. DEQ recommends that construction projects incorporate the principles of pollution prevention including the following recommendations:
• Consider environmental attributes when purchasing materials. For example, the extent of recycled material content and toxicity level should be considered.
• Consider contractors’ commitments to the environment when choosing contractors. Also, specifications regarding raw material selection (alternative fuels and energy sources) and construction practices can be included in contract documents and requests for proposals.
• Choose sustainable practices and materials in infrastructure and construction and design. These could include asphalt and concrete containing recycled materials and integrated pest management in landscaping.

December 30th, 2023
After much planning and discussion with the Russell County Tourism Advisory Committee and other county/regional officials, it was decided that the county is in need of forming a foundation that will be used to build the tourism industry in Russell County. This foundation will consist of professional photography for social media promotions, the Experience Russell website, and print media. Along with the creation of an adventure guide including design and printing, there is also a plan to do magazine advertisements in the coming years (Blue Ridge Outdoors, others).
Building a foundation for tourism in Russell County is crucial to the continued advancements and to bringing other tourism attractions in while continuing to market our current attractions. Being a small rural county in far Southwest Virginia it can be difficult to build a strong standing in the tourism industry, considering a small budget and small department. The ARPA funding available to the county will allow the department to change that standing and continue to grow.
Tourism Product Development
Adventure Guides
Funding Amount: $15,000
Estimated Timeline: May 2023 - November 2023
During the decision to create an adventure guide highlighting the county as an adventure
location for friends, families, couples, and singles. After having met with a print media specialist
and a digital format specialist as well, it was decided to pursue a more economical route with
the print media, including a QR code and application that can be used digitally on our social
media pages. Along with an interactive application to be added to our website. Therefore, we
are getting both media forms for a more affordable option and utilizing the majority of our
funding to the best of our ability.
Website Updating Funding Amount: $1,500 Estimated Timeline: May 2023 Since the beginning of COVID, our tourism department struggled to stay up to date on the ongoings throughout the county, and since the hiring of a full-time employee steps has been taken to update the website. Although, the website does need to have some remodeling and to be transferred to a different editing platform. This would include using funds for the development of the website and updates.

General Assembly Adopts “Skinny Budget,”
Adjourns Sine Die
February 28, 2023
The 2023 session adjourned sine die on Saturday, February 25, as scheduled,
but without resolving differences between the House and Senate on revisions
to the biennium budget. Instead, budget conferees proposed, and both
chambers adopted, a “skinny budget” that addresses four priority items:
Includes $115.9 million GF in FY 2023 and $125.8 million GF in FY 2024 for
the combined impact of K-12 technical adjustments related to average
daily membership (ADM) changes, sales tax revenue forecast changes, and
program participation updates. Also provides an additional $16.8 million GF
in FY 2023 to ensure that the sum of basic aid and sales tax payments a
school division receives in FY 2023 is at least the sum of basic aid and sales
tax payments that was communicated to school divisions in June 2022;
this action addresses the error in the Department of Education’s
calculation tool.
Provides $904.6 million to the Revenue Stabilization Fund to meet the
Constitutionally-required FY 2024 deposit.
Provides the $250 million deposit to the Virginia Retirement System that
was included in the budget adopted last year as a contingent
appropriation to address unfunded liabilities. An estimated $147.5 million
would be provided to the teacher retirement plan out of this funding.
Provides $100 million in FY 2023 to address cost overruns for previously
authorized capital projects.
Media reports indicate that budget negotiators intend to continue working
toward agreement on the larger array of spending items and tax policy
changes under consideration in conference, and the Governor indicated a
willingness to continue to work with the legislature to �nalize a budget,
although no dates have been provided for a potential special session as of yet.

Lonzo,
Back in June 2022 the county provided a NOIA resolution for Route T1211 in Cleveland. However, we did not follow through with the procedure of posting the willingness/PH advertisement. Attached are the sample templates for a willingness & a public hearing (whichever you choose). I bring this up now because you could combine this advertisement with the one for Route 871, and get two birds with one stone. Saves you the cost of a newspaper ad if you combine them into one.

RE: Local Law Enforcement Block (“LOLE”) Grant Program - FFY 22
Dear Lonzo Lester:
The Byrne Justice Assistance Grant Program (JAG) makes federal funds available to localities to help support their efforts to reduce crime and improve public safety. The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services has been designated to administer a portion of the JAG funds reserved for Virginia and to make those funds available to local units of government. I am pleased to advise you that we are awarding your locality $2,623, funded through federal grant 15PBJA-22-GG-00616-MUMU. Your DCJS grant award number will be determined once your eligibility application is submitted and approved. The project period for this program is 3/1/2023 through 9/30/2023.
To indicate your acceptance of the award and conditions:
-
Sign the Statement of Grant Award/Acceptance (“SOGA”) and return it electronically within the next 45 days to [email protected] copying your Grant Monitor, Nicole Phelps at [email protected].
-
Localities wishing to accept the LOLE funds allocated for their jurisdiction will need to complete an “eligibility application” on DJCS’s On-line Grant Management System (“OGMS”) to ensure eligibility. The eligibility application process will be open until May 1, 2023. To receive funds, localities must complete the eligibility application process through the DCJS On-line Grants Management System (“OGMS”) no later than 5:00 pm on May 1, 2023. Please note that although OGMS uses the words “application” throughout the system, this is not an application but an eligibility process. This is a six (6) month grant and there will be no continuation.
-
Your agency will need to fill out all the requested information in the OGMS eligibility application to include the budget and brief budget narrative outlining how your agency will utilize the awarded federal funds (additional information on the LOLE grant program and how to complete the OGMS eligibility application is provided with this award package).

ARPA Update
After a discussion with VTC and Tourism Advisory Committee, there was a decision made to utilize the funds to create an adventure guide for Russell County. The guides will be featuring outdoor recreation, family adventures, itineraries, and more highlighting our tourism assets. The adventure guides will be in a magazine format with attractive graphics.
Including the adventure guide, we have also decided to schedule with a local photographer to get some high-quality and definition photographs taken throughout the county to be included in our adventure guide and used in social & print media campaigns as well. I met with Preston Ball and received a quote from him, I have also met with Cory Parker from MountainCap Media, he specializes in drone footage, I am still waiting for a quote from him. I will also be reaching out to Billing Bowlings, to get a quote as well.
During this process, I have also researched pricing on magazine advertisements including Blue Ridge Outdoors, Visit Virginia, etc. to also add to our ARPA plan as well.
Updates were made to the application and resubmitted, we are currently waiting on the confirmation of the funding.
VA250.
To form a Local VA250 Committee and join in the planning for this large-scale commemoration, we ask that the local governing body designate a liaison to work with the Commission, who will serve as the local contact with the state commission, participate in planning events, and communicate regularly on events occurring within the locality. While the Commission is planning statewide programs and events, including traveling exhibitions, strong involvement at the local level is crucial. The Commission is
Shiloh Lyttle, DMO Tourism Coordinator Office Phone: (276)344-8504 Cell Phone: (276)880-5728

COUNTY VAIRIGUNIAY
working with hundreds of partners across the state to encourage and support local participation. Local history, after all, is the foundation on which all else is built,
For those localities that form official Local VA250 Committees, as evidenced by the passing of a resolution of support, the designation of a local contact, and the formation of a Local VA250 Committee, the state commission will provide grant funding opportunities for commemorative events and make available programs to include traveling exhibitions and teacher resources.
Virginia Welcome Center Blitz/Brochur
We will have a one-month blitz this summer in July at the Bristol Virginia Welcome Center, highlighting the outdoor recreation and festivals we will have.

Jim asked if JoBeth and Shiloh could set up a time to do a meeting open to the public for training. They will consider it - possibly make it into a regional rather than a county meeting. Also, a possibility to create a video for the public on social media how-tos. JoBeth shared different sites such as Washington County Small Business makes tutorials available.

VA250 Grant — Shiloh shared about the VA250 grant opportunity for 2026, the 250" anniversary of the United States. A committee must be made to apply for this grant. Shiloh is the liaison. The governor will attend any of these events. Grant funding — commemorative events would need signage. Grants will be open twice a year until 2030. October 2023 is the next opening.
Comments: When discussing murals, the topic of music and the area’s history with music came up. It was brought up about different areas on the “Crooked Road” where music of the area could be played and be digitally interactive. Jim Lyttle voiced concerns about older visitors (as they are our largest
demographic of tourists) having problems interacting with these programs. Ms. Wampler explained that it was Senator Hackworth’s idea, and that it would also draw more young people to the area.
Dates to Remember: Next meeting at Curklin’s, February 21 @ 5:30pm
Adjourn
Carley Bruck made a motion to adjourn the meeting. The motion was properly seconded by Douglas Hubbard and the motion was carried.
