- Greensville County
Greensville County Solar Project LLC has provided the Department
of Environmental Quality a revised notice of intent to submit the necessary
documentation for a permit by rule for a small renewable energy project (solar)
near Emporia. The notice of intent is for an 80-megawatt alternating current
solar project. The ground-mounted array will utilize photovoltaic solar modules
and single-axis tracking technology constructed on approximately 1,225 acres
(originally the project was intended to use 1,185 acres). The project site is
located outside of the city limits of Emporia along Rock Bridge Road. A solar
project is permitted under this use category through a special use permit from
Greensville County Board of Supervisors and will not require rezoning. The
original notice of intent was posted to the Virginia Regulatory Town Hall on
October 18, 2018, and published in the Virginia Register of Regulations on
November 12, 2018.

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH
January 2019 - Public Participation in
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Process
The Virginia Department of Health (VDH) is pleased to announce
several opportunities for funding drinking water infrastructure. Applications
may be submitted year round, however, VDH will conduct one round of evaluations
submitted by the deadline. Applications postmarked or received after the due
date will be considered for funding in the following round. Funding is made
possible by the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) Program and the
Water Supply Assistance Grant Fund (WSAG) Program (if funds are available). The
fiscal year 2020 DWSRF Intended Use Plan will be developed using public
input on these issues.
(1) Public Comments and Set-Aside Suggestions Invited
(submission deadline April 1): To identify ways to improve this program, VDH
seeks meaningful input from the public, the waterworks industry, or other
interested parties. Anyone may make comments or recommendations to support or
revise the program. Everyone has the opportunity to suggest new or continuing
set-aside (nonconstruction) activities. Set-aside funds help VDH assist waterworks
owners to prepare for future drinking water challenges and ensure the
sustainability of safe drinking water.
(2) Construction, Consolidation, and Refinance Fund Requests
(application deadline April 1): Owners of community waterworks and nonprofit
noncommunity waterworks are eligible to apply for construction funds. VDH makes
selections based on criteria described in the DWSRF Program Design Manual, such
as existing public health problems, noncompliance, affordability,
regionalization, and the availability of matching funds. VDH anticipates a
funding level of $25 million.
(3) 1452(k) Source Water Protection Initiatives (application
deadline April 1): Loan funds are available to (i) community and nonprofit
noncommunity waterworks to acquire land or conservation easements and (ii)
community waterworks only to establish local voluntary incentive-based
protection measures.
(4) Lead Service Line (LSL) Replacement Program (application
deadline April 1): In an effort to accelerate the removal of lead from drinking
water, the DWSRF Program has made funding available for the complete removal of
the public or private portion of the LSLs. In conjunction with other available
funds, this program intends to provide up to $5,000 dollars as grant funds (of
which up to $500 may be eligible as an administrative fee) for each service
line replaced on the homeowner's side of the meter. The LSL includes pipe entry
into the structure (up to the shut-off valve) but excludes the premise
plumbing.
The VDH DWSRF Program Design Manual describes the features of
the opportunities listed in this notice for funding. After receiving public
input, VDH will develop an intended use plan (IUP) for public review and
comment. When developed, the IUP will describe specific details for use of the
funds. A public meeting is planned, and written comments will be accepted
before submittal of a final version to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
for approval.
Applications, set-aside suggestion forms, program design
manuals, and information materials are available on the VDH website at http://www.vdh.virginia.gov/drinking-water/financial-construction-assistance-programs/drinking-water-funding-program-details/. This
information can also be obtained from Steven Pellei, PE, FCAP Director,

will be recorded for future play back. The tentative time and date for the
webcast is 1 p.m. on February 20, 2019. The link will be provided at a
later date on the Office of Drinking Water website.
Material will focus on drinking water construction funding
available through VDH. The Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund Program
will be discussed. Participants will be advised on program updates and guided
through program criteria, program applications, and the project scheduling
steps needed for smooth project implementation.
