ant Application for FY08 Water Supply Planning Funds
Whereas, the Virginia General Assembly has mandated the development of water supply plans by
all local governments; and
Whereas, the State Water Control Board has issued Regulation 9 VAC 25-780 Local and
Regional Water Supply Planning to guide this planning process; and
Whereas, local governments in the Northern Shenandoah Valley region began working
cooperatively on groundwater resources in 1983; in-stream flow in 1994; water supply in 1999; and water
resources policy in 2002, leading to the Shenandoah Valley Water Resources Strategic Plan; and
Whereas, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality has announced the availability of
grant funds to assist localities offset some of the costs related to the development of these plans; and
Whereas, Regulation 9 VAC 25-780 gives incentives to localities for the cooperative
development of regionally networked plans, extending the due date to November 2, 2011 for regional
plans and providing priority grant assistance to localities cooperating regionally in meeting the planning
requirements; and
Whereas, Frederick County along with the Counties of Clarke, Page, Shenandoah and Warren,
and City of Winchester have funded the Regional Water Resources Policy Committee Strategic Plan for
FY 2007-2008, allocating $20,000 cash and $7,500 in-kind for water supply planning as a commitment to
develop a Regional Water Supply Plan meeting the November 2, 2011 deadline; and
Whereas, the Towns of Berryville, Edinburg, Front Royal, Luray, Mount Jackson, New Market,
Shenandoah, Stanley, Strasburg, and Woodstock have been invited to participate in this cooperative grant
project; and
Whereas, the County of Frederick requires the development and recordation of data, information
and mapping to meet the planning requirements of Regulation 9 VAC 25-780, a continuous planning
requirement which will require review every five years and updating every decade; and
Whereas, based on the grant proposal developed by the Northern Shenandoah Valley Regional
Commission, the County can meet the Phase I planning requirements, specifically a description of : 1)
existing water resources (9 VAC 25-780-70); 2) existing water use (9 VAC 25-780-80); 3) existing
water resource conditions (9 VAC 25-780-90) and 4) water management actions (9 VAC 25-780-110 & -
120) as part of a cooperative grant application for $50,000 through the Northern Shenandoah Valley
Regional Commission, allocating 80.5% of the $$8,295 cash funding provided to the Strategic Plan for
Water Supply Planning priorities plus, through Committee service time, contribute to the $7,500 in kind
for the grant application proposal to be submitted by May 18, 2007; and
Whereas, the Northern Shenandoah Valley Regional Commission, consistent with the Regional
Water Resources Strategic Plan, seeks to develop a regional water supply plan that will be jointly
managed by localities, as with the Regional Solid Waste Management Plan, and participating localities
,_ agree with this approach,
Now, Therefore Be It Resolved, that the County of Frederick agrees to fund and participate on
the Water Supply Subcommittee of the Regional Water Resources Technical Committee in the grant
application to the Department of Environmental Quality and authorizes the Regional Commission to
manage the grant if awarded to develop local water supply planning information in the context of both the
Planning District and Shenandoah Valley to comply with Phase I of Regulation 9 VAC 25-780.
Upon the motion of Gene E. Fisher and seconded by Charles S. DeHaven, Jr., this Resolution is
hereby approved on this 9"' day of May, 2007.
