ITEMS FOR INFORMATION ONLY
1-Joe Wilder discussed the different divisions of the Public Works department. A question
was asked concerning the status of illegal dumping at the county convenience sites. Staff
indicated we haven't seen an increase in illegal dumping, but we know some do occur.
We discussed the use of video cameras at convenience sites to record license plates of
illegal dumpers.There have been previous discussions regarding the use of cameras but
the cost to purchase, install and review the camera footage was very expensive.The
committee also discussed the use of vehicle stickers to indicate the vehicle is from the
county.This topic has also been discussed during past meetings.The management of
issuing the stickers is not something that staff could easily do with the limited resources
and the added expense.The final conclusion regarding illegal dumping is we are not
seeing an increase in illegal dumping. However, if the Board of Supervisors would want
the department to consider different options, we can provide a cost analysis.
The committee was updated on the Animal Shelter. On March 1, 2024, Christina Tasker
was hired as the new manager of the shelter. Christina replaces Kathy Whetzel who
recently retired. The shelter has been very busy with many dogs over the last year.
A question was asked concerning the status of the shelter and a cat program where cats
are spayed/neutered and then released back into the community. We informed the
committee that while we support spaying/neutering animals and private organizations,
we do not actively participate in this type of program. Some complaints are received from
citizens in the community where the cats are released in colonies. There are currently no
laws or ordinances in place concerning cats.
One suggestion from the committee was for us to look into improving our on-line
interface regarding adoptable animals. We could have a more user-friendly website where
people could look at available animals, events, etc. Possibly something similar to the SPCA
website. We currently have an online website where people can view adoptable animals.
We will review that system and see where we can improve it.
A memorandum was handed out at the meeting with updates regarding the landfill.
Updates were given on the Construction/Demolition Debris (CDD) Landfill construction
and permit modification. We also discussed the current tipping fees and indicated we are
going to be doing an updated pro forma tipping fee analysis to ensure the landfill has
proper tipping fees in place moving into the future to accommodate future expansions.
There were discussions about the influx of CDD waste coming in from the increased
building construction in our region. The committee discussed making sure the tipping fee
analysis addresses the increased costs to the landfill operations from the increased
construction debris.The citizens should not have to cover these additional costs related to
CDD waste.
(Attachment 2)
We informed the committee that we will be updating County Code Chapter 143 —
Stormwater/Erosion and Sediment Control this year to comply with changes in Virginia
regulations. It will mainly be edits to citations and code references. We will bring a draft
ordinance to the committee in late Summer/early Fall.
Respectfully submitted,

RE: Recycling, Refuse Collection, Litter Prevention and Conservation
DATE: March 11, 2024
Below is a detail of activities and accomplishments as they relate to recycling,refuse collection, litter
prevention and conservation:
■ Compost Bin &Rain Barrel Pre-Order Sale is on-going through April 7. This sale offers
discounted recycled-content bins,barrels and tumblers to residents each year and encourages
conservation.
■ Conducting yearly Recycling Rate survey of commercial entities. Data will be submitted as a
planning district to the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality which forwards the
data to the Virginia General Assembly.
■ Participating in a federal grant awarded to the Northern Shenandoah Valley Regional
Planning District by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.Part of the proceeds will
fund several roll-off recycling containers at the county's citizens' convenience sites.
■ Since July, a total of 1,869 tons of recyclables have been collected. This includes electronics
and scrap metal accumulated at the regional landfill. It is projected that the recycling rate for
the fiscal year will exceed last year's figure.
■ During February, a total of 23,231 tons of refuse was collected at the county's ten citizens'
neighborhood convenience sites. This figure does not include refuse collected at the landfill's
citizens' center.
■ As projected,hauling fees have dropped by nearly one-third at the Gore Citizens'
Convenience Site since a used compactor was installed during upgrades to the facility in
2023.Previously,refuse had been collected in 8-yard cans which offered no compaction. A
three-month average of hauling costs is currently $1,070 per month compared to $3,576 per
month.
■ During the current fiscal year, the Clean Sweep crew has picked up nearly 17 tons of
roadside litter. The crew is supervised by one part-time staff person. A group of four trustees
from the regional jail provide labor. As of the end of February,the jail's in-kind services
represented a contribution of$43,739.

MANAGER'S REPORT (SEE ATTACHMENT T)
Snow Removal:
The Sanitary District has experienced several snow events to date this winter season. Staff works
very hard to keep the roads as clear as possible throughout each and every snow or ice event.
Staff clears snow and ice from approximately 100 lane miles of road and five parking areas as
well as shovel snow from the two (2) mailbox house sidewalks in Shawneeland.
Staff pretreats the roads with a mixture of#9 stone,salt,and calcium to help with melting once
the snow starts to fall.This mixture also assists in giving traction to keep traffic moving. Additional mix is
used when and where it is needed during all snow events.This mixture will assist in melting snow and ice
in temperatures down to the lower 20s,In areas where the sun has limited access to the road surface, it
will take longer for melting to occur.
Each trail is plowed and treated several times throughout every snow event.It may appear
that the road has not been plowed but a snowplow cannot remove 100 percent of the snow.Staff
puts a big emphasis on snow removal and to do their very best each and every snow.
Please be patient and allow the plow drivers to do their job so we can get the roads cleared.
Tree Removal:
The tree contractor removed eight (8) more dead/dying trees from the right-of-
way for the Sanitary District. This process will continue as trees continue to die.
Staff will begin cutting dead/dying trees this month. All the wood from these trees
will be left in safe spots on the right-of-way for the residents to collect for their use.
Citizens may call the Shawneeland office for locations to collect this wood.
Shawneeland Parking Policy(SEE ATTACHMENT 2):
The Shawneeland parking policy was written and completed by the Frederick
County Attorney's Office on November 1, 2016. The policy will be enforced as it is written
at any time a violation is observed.
Please follow this policy to avoid any inconvenience it may cause by having your
vehicle towed. All tow bills are the responsibility of the owner of the vehicle in violation.
Cherokee Lake Level:
The Cherokee Lake level has risen 18 feet over the past seven (7) weeks. This is due
to the amount of moisture we have received during that time. At its lowest point, the lake
was 22 feet to the negative. This is a significant increase in a short period of time.
Although the wafer levels are on the rise, please keep in mind that the lake still has
a significant leak. The rate of the leak where we measure it is at a loss of 122 gallons per
minute. This may not sound like a lot but when you put it in perspective, we are losing
7,320 gallons per hour and 175,680 gallons per day. So, the key to keeping good levels is
getting lots of moisture.
Potholes:
Potholes are starting to pop up all over the subdivision. There are several
contributing factors that result in potholes forming.
Water penetrating through the road surface is how it begins. As we experience
freezing and thawing temperatures the water expands thus cracking the pavement. The
water also softens the underlying roadbed making it soft. This starts a process known as
pumping when vehicles drive across these areas. This action further deteriorates the road
surface resulting in road surface failure, or potholes.
The best way to keep potholes to a minimum is to seal the road surface to prevent
water penetration. The lack of sealing road surfaces will result in very expensive repairs. It
requires potholes being repaired by removing the road surface and any affected
subsurface materials that have failed then replace with new subsurface materials along
with new asphalt.
By maintaining a good surface sealing program this will substantially reduce the
costs of pothole repairs. Surface sealing is a common practice not only in the state of
Virginia, but in all states across the country and around the world. The lack of maintaining
a seal program will most certainly show itself in a very short time and will result in very
expensive repairs.
2024 SSDAC CHAIRMAN SELECTION
Mrs. Sargent was selected to Chair the meeting.
Being that we only had a quorum, Mrs. Sargent moved we postpone the selection
of new chairman out to the next meeting on May 6, 2024. Mr. Gartner seconded the
motion. There was little discussion and the motion to accept the proposed date passed
unanimously.
■ MAILBOXES - SEE PUBLIC COMMENTS
■ SHAWNEELAND LOTS (SEE ATTACHMENT 3)
A list of the lots owned by Shawneeland was presented to the SSDAC by Kevin,
the manager. After some discussion, it was determined that the lots on this list should
remain in Shawneeland's possession. They are lots that are utilized by Shawneeland for
various uses.
PUBLIC COMMENTS (3 MINUTES PER PERSON)
The following residents signed up to speak.
Mrs. Sargent suggested that a subcommittee be formed to look into the cost of fixing the
dam, building a pool or having Frederick County Parks and Recreation take over the
common areas and build a public pool. Motion was made by Mr. Gartner and seconded
by Mr. Bailey. The motion passed unanimously.
Bill Guy:
• Requests that steps be taken to revive the lake.
Jenny Guy:
• Asks if there is a plan for a pool over by the pond area.
• Comments on the status of lake repairs and inquires why the second round of repairs
were not carried out.
• Mr. Alderman explained to Mrs. Guy that the contractor didn't leave by choice, the
committee decided that they wanted to keep the lake open for the season instead
of doing the second round, as the contractor proposed. The committee did have
the funds available to do the second round of treatment, but it was voted to keep
the lake open instead.
Jason Croasdale:
• Compliments the SSD Maintenance Staff on work being done.
• Requests information on the old mailboxes that have been replaced.
Wants to use old parcel boxes as Library boxes for residents. Motion made by Mr.
Bailey and seconded by Mr. Gartner. The motion passed unanimously.
• Volunteered to lead the effort to install new Library boxes.
Micah Jacobs:
• Inquired about possibly selling the old mailboxes at auction.
The council discussed and determined that the mailboxes were not worth anything and
Mr. Bailey put forth a motion that they be scrapped. This motion was seconded by Mr.
Gardener. The motion passed unanimously.
Ryan Anderson:
• Inquired about cavities under the roadway causing problems with the road across
from the dam.
• Mr. Alderman described that the erosion was deep in the ground and could affect
the roadway but at this point has not.
Meeting adjourned. 8:15 PM.
FREDERICI( COIJNTY SAM I ARY DIS I RICT OFI III'k'ELAN
IVIANA(3"EIVS REPORT P ITT F E I I I
Snow Removal:
The Sanitary District has experienced several snow events this winter season. The staff
works very hard to keep the roads as clear as possible throughout each and every snow or ice
event.The staff clears snow and ice from approximately 100 lane miles of road in Shawneeland.
In addition to the roads, we plow S parking areas and shovel snow from 2 mailhouse sidewalks.
The staff pretreats the roads with a mixture of#9 stone, salt, and calcium to help with melting
once the snow starts to fall.This mixture also assists in giving traction to keep traffic moving.
Additional mix is used when and where it is needed during all snow events.This mixture will
assist in melting snow and ice in temperatures down to the lower 20s. In areas where the sun
has limited access to the road surface it will take longer for melting to occur.
Every trail is plowed and treated several times throughout every snow event. It may
appear that the road has not been plowed but a snowplow cannot remove 100% of the snow.
We put a big emphasis on snow removal and to do our very best each and every snow.
Please be patient and allow the plow drivers to do their job so we can get the roads
cleared.
Tree Removal:
As always dead and dying trees continue to be a big concern for staff and residents
alike. We will continue removing dead and dying trees from Frederick County right of way. I will
continue to use a licensed and insured tree contractor to remove trees that are not safe for the
staff to remove.
If there are any trees that are dying and losing limbs it is deemed to be unsafe and it will
be removed from the right of way. It is not cost effective to prune trees with dead or dying
branches only to remove them months later.
Shawneeland Parking Policy:
The Shawneeland parking policy was written and completed by the Frederick County
Attorneys Office on November 1, 2016.The policy will be enforced as it is written at anytime a
violation is observed.
Please follow this policy to avoid any inconvenience it may cause by having your vehicle
towed.All tow bills are the responsibility of the owner of the vehicle in violation.
Cherokee Lake Level:
The Cherokee Lake level has risen 18 feet over the past 7 weeks.This is due to the
amount of moisture we have received during that time.At its lowest point the lake was 22 feet
to the negative. This is a significant increase in a short period of time.Although the water levels
are on the rise, please keep in mind that the lake still has a significant leak.The rate of the leak
where we measure it is at a loss of 122 gallons per minute.This may not sound like a lot but
when you put it in perspective,we are losing 7,320 gallons per hour and 175,680 gallons per
day.So,the key to keeping good levels is getting lots of moisture. of course,this is something
that is out of anyone's control.
Potholes:
As I am sure most of you have noticed potholes are starting to pop up all over the
subdivision.There are several contributing factors that result in potholes forming.Water
penetrating through the road surface is how it begins.As we experience freezing and thawing
temperatures the water expands thus cracking the pavement.The water also softens the
underlying roadbed making it soft.This starts a process known as pumping when vehicles drive
across these areas.This action further deteriorates the road surface resulting in road surface
failure, or potholes.
The best way to keep potholes to a minimum is to seal the road surface to prevent
water penetration.The lack of sealing road surfaces will result in very expensive repairs. It
requires potholes being repaired by removing the road surface and any affected subsurface
materials that have failed then new subsurface materials replaced along with new asphalt.
By maintaining a good surface sealing program this will substantially reduce the costs of
pothole repairs.Surface sealing is a common practice not only in the state of VA but in all states
across the country and around the world.The lack of maintaining a seal program will most
certainly show itself in a very short time and will result in very expensive repairs.
