As proposed the requested rezoning proposal is not in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan as well as the Northeast Land Use Plan (NELUP) portion of the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed zoning classification of Extractive Manufacturing conflicts with the Board’s adopted future land use designations which call for Industrial and Heavy Industrial uses for the parcels under consideration in this rezoning. The Applicant has recently completed and is awaiting peer review on a hydrogeologic study. Given the numerous groundwater concerns raised by local residents as part of the NELUP public hearing process, the results of this study could be a meaningful point of consideration for the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors. Below, the applicant’s proffer statement, dated July 10, 2023, details the applicant’s proffered conditions to offset impacts of development. Staff notes of areas of concern are included in bold italics. In addition to those comments, Staff would recommend the Planning Commission carefully consider the following items: 1. The ability to implement the future comprehensive planned land uses if the current, inconsistent, application is approved. 2. The enforceability of proffers on parcels not bound by the proffer package after the proposed use is in operation. 3. The acceptability of the applicant’s modifications to the transportation system and whether the proposed roadway sections align with the needs of the Comprehensive Plan. 4. Impacts on the community and particularly nearby residents and enforceability of proffers offered to mitigate those impacts. Following a public hearing, a recommendation from the Planning Commission regarding this rezoning application to the Board of Supervisors would be appropriate. The Applicant should be prepared to adeq uate l y address all concerns rai s ed by the Planning Commission . 5 Rezoning #03-23 O-N Mineral (Chemstone) dba Carmeuse Americas September 21, 2023 Page 2 T his report i s pre pared by the Frederick County Planning Staff to provide i nforma tion to the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors to assist them in m aking a decision on this applic ation .

Planning & Zoning: 1) Site History The original Frederick County zoning map (U.S.G.S. Inwood/Stephenson Quadrangles) identify the subject parcels as being zoned A-2 (Agricultural General). The County’s agricultural zoning districts were subsequently combined to form the RA (Rural Areas) District upon adoption of an amendment to the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance on May 10, 1989. The corresponding revision of the zoning map resulted in the re-mapping of the subject property and all other A-1 and A-2 zoned land to the RA District. 2) Comprehensive Plan The Com prehensive Plan is the gu i de for the future growth of Frederick County. The Comprehensive Plan is an official public document that serves as the community’s guide for making decisions regarding development, preservation, public facilities, and other key components of community life. The Plan is developed with the input of the public and adopted by the Board of Supervisors (lasted updated November 2021). In essence, the Comprehensive Plan is a composition of policies used to guide the future physical development of Frederick County in support of the Board’s adopted Vision and Core Values as outlined in the plan. The Area Plans in Appendix I of the Comprehensive Plan offer more detailed implementation guidance in the planning areas of the County. Land Use The Northeast Land Use Plan (NELUP) in Appendix 1 of the Comprehensive Plan does not 7 Rezoning #03-23 O-N Mineral (Chemstone) dba Carmeuse Americas September 21, 2023 Page 4 currently have text addressing the future of the parcels in question. However, the Land Use Plan calls for Industrial, Warehousing, and Heavy Industrial uses for the parcels subject to this rezoning request. The County is currently in the midst of an update to the NELUP which could impact the Comprehensive Plan compliance of this application if adopted. Transportation and Site Access The parcels in question have frontage on Branson Springs Road, Woodbine Road, and Grace Church Road. To serve the designated future land uses in the NELUP, the roadways are planned to be improved to major collector roadways in the Eastern Road Plan component of the Comprehensive Plan. The Applicant proposes numerous changes to these roadways via abandonments and realignment/replacements as detailed in the proffers. It is also noteworthy that this application, due to the applicant’s proffered intention to access these parcels via the existing Carmeuse facility entrance and tunnel underneath Brucetown Road, will continue to send future trips down Brucetown Road. Brucetown Road to the west of the applicant’s entrance is planned to become a major collector roadway and the intersections of Hopewell and Brucetown Road with Route 11 are planned to be aligned. 3) Proffer Statement, Dates July 10, 2023 staff notes in bold italics 1. LAND USE AND PHASING 1.1. The Property shall be developed in substantial conformance with the GDP. The GDP is intended to delineate the general location of the regional road systems, the approximate limits of mining, and the general location of Woodside Road, Branson Springs Road and Grace Church Road. The final location of the road improvements and the approximate limits of mining may be adjusted to accommodate final engineering design requirements, and Virginia Department of Energy (“VDOE”) permitting requirements, without the need to revise the GDP - provided that these adjustments are consistent with the overall layout depicted on the GDP. Staff Note : Specific GDP date should be referenced in addition to attachment of the GDP to the proffer statement. 1.2. While the entire Property shall be zoned to the EM (Extractive Manufacturing) zoning district, the Owner shall limit the area for extractive mining to that area delineated on the GDP as “Approximate Limits of Mining”. 2. REDUCTION IN HEIGHT OF EXISTING STOCKPILE 2.1 The Owner shall reduce the maximum height of the existing 150-foot stockpile along the western border of the existing Martin Farm, Tax Map Parcel 33-A-144, as shown on Exhibit A (the “Existing Stockpile”), by 50 feet. This Existing Stockpile is located on lands owned by the Owner that are currently zoned EM and are not included in this rezoning application. 8 Rezoning #03-23 O-N Mineral (Chemstone) dba Carmeuse Americas September 21, 2023 Page 5 Staff Note: As this parcel (33-A-144 ) is not part of this re zoning and thus not bound by this proffer, additional measures should be taken to ensure that the stockpile height could not be raised above the 100 feet in the future. 2.2 The materials removed from the Existing Stockpile shall be relocated to other areas of Owner’s lands as generally depicted on Exhibit A, in conformance with VDOE permits and in conformance with Proffer 3, below. Staff Note : T he relocation area depicted in the applicant’s graphics (Exhibit A) indicate significant additional encroachment of the stockpile toward a neighboring resid ence. This impact should be carefu lly considered. Furthermore, the reference to proffer 3 appears to be in conflict as proffer 3 references a 75 foot stock p ile as opposed to 100 and references within proffer 3 are to the rezoned property and new quarry. Additional clarity is needed. 2.3 Following this reduction in the height of the Existing Stockpile and stabilization of the stockpile elements, the Owner shall reclaim the disturbed areas of overburden material with seed – such seed selection to be determined in consultation with the Division of Mining’s mine inspector based on the best post-mining land use determination at the time, and in accordance with VDOE reclamation regulations and associated permits. 2.4 The Owner shall file all requisite permits allowing for this reduction in the height of the Existing Stockpile within six (6) months following Final Approval. Thereafter, work in reducing the height of this Existing Stockpile shall commence promptly upon issuance of the VDOE authorizing this activity, and Owner shall complete this reduction in the height of the Existing Stockpile no later than thirty (30) months following issuance of these VDOE permits. 3. NEW STOCKPILES AND BERMS 3.1 Any new stockpiles created on the rezoned Property (the “New Stockpiles”), which Owner anticipates shall be located within the general area depicted on Exhibit A, shall not exceed 75 feet in height and shall not be permanent in nature. 3.2 Within eighteen (18) months following cessation of all mining activities on the rezoned Property, and pursuant to the VDOE permits, all New Stockpiles shall be reclaimed so as to be amenable for other economic development and industrial uses. “Mining activities” means operations associated with the exploration for, and extraction of, aggregates and other minerals, including byproducts of the same, and the development and operations of a mine and all acts incident or conducive to any such operations and purposes, including but not limited to, reclaiming stockpiled stone for processing and all mine closure and rehabilitation activities. Staff note : As writt en and combined with applicant’s long history and stated long term nature of the ap plica nt’s activities it should be noted that this proffer comm itment would likely be unrealized for decades to come. 9 Rezoning #03-23 O-N Mineral (Chemstone) dba Carmeuse Americas September 21, 2023 Page 6 3.3 Earthen berms shall be created around any new quarry areas on the Property and shall be at least twenty (20) feet in height and conform to VDOE mining requirements. The berms shall be landscaped to minimize impacts to the viewshed of the surrounding community. There shall be no extraction of material for processing outside these berms. Berms shall be constructed at least three (3) years (36 calendar months) prior to the extraction of the material for processing. The Owner shall adhere to the relevant Buffer and Screening requirements of the Frederick County Code (165-203.02), where applicable, and in accordance with permits issued to Owner by the VDOE, as shown on the GDP. In addition to requirements of the Frederick County Code, Owner will take all appropriate measures to ensure survival of such plantings. The landscaping shall be subject to reasonable approval of the Zoning Administrator of Frederick County. Staff note: More detail should be developed and incorporated into the proffers to ensure the Board and public have a clear expectation of the la ndscaping plan to be implemented. 4. TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS 4.1. The Owner shall construct all public roadway improvements referenced below in the locations depicted on the GDP and in accordance with regulations required for state road acceptance by the Virginia Department of Transportation (“VDOT”). Minor modifications, as necessary upon final engineering, shall be permitted subject to site plan approval by the County and VDOT. 4.2. In order to facilitate improvements at, or in the vicinity of, the Hopewell Road/Martinsburg Pike/Brucetown Road Intersection, the Owner shall, upon Final Approval: (i) Provide a cash donation of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) to the County for such improvements within one (1) year of Final Approval, (ii) Dedicate that parcel of land it currently owns identified as 2023 Frederick County Tax Map Parcel 33-A-115A to the Board within two (2) months after receipt of a written request from a duly authorized agent of the County, (iii) Dedicate that parcel of land it currently owns identified as 2023 Frederick County Tax Map Parcel 33-A-115B, to the Board within two (2) months after receipt of a written request from a duly authorized agent of the County, and (iv) Donate up to thirty thousand (30,000) tons of aggregate to go towards the intersection improvements, which shall be made within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written request from a duly authorized agent of the County or VDOT. 10 Rezoning #03-23 O-N Mineral (Chemstone) dba Carmeuse Americas September 21, 2023 Page 7 4.3. Road Abandonments & Relocations. Concurrent with the filing of Rezoning Application RZ #03-23, the Owner has requested that the Board initiate certain road abandonments and relocations of (i) a portion of Woodside Road (State Route 671), (ii) a portion of Grace Church Road, and (iii) a portion of Branson Spring Road (State Route 668), as shown on the GDP (collectively, the “Road Abandonments and Relocations”). The effective date of the Road Abandonments and Relocations shall be the date on which the Road Improvements (defined below) are substantially constructed and opened for vehicular traffic. Staff note: While the Board may choose to support the proposed actions with public hearings and resolutions or letters of support subject to the requirements of the various actions being u ndertaken by the Applicant, staff would note that without expedient pursuit of the changes to the road system, those Board actions could be come outdated a nd not meet requirements of the Virginia Department of Transportation. If this were to transpire, a future board would be asked to renew these actions and a current Board action could not bind a future Board. This could potentially result in a future Board choosing not to support the proposed roadway changes. 4.4 Road Improvements. Within one (1) year following Final Approval, the Owner shall submit design plans for the following road improvements (collectively, the “Road Improvements”): Construction of a cul-de-sac on Woodside Road (State Route 671) 0.1 miles east of the Winchester & Western Railroad crossing as shown on the GDP, together with dedication plats of all needed rights-of-way and necessary easements, and (A) Construction of a new paved Rural Two-Lane Section (R2) public road within Owner’s property boundary as shown on the GDP running from Woodbine Road (State Route 669 to Grace Church Road (State Route 668) (the “New Road”) taking into consideration the geometric design and the vertical and horizontal alignment of the New Road, together with dedication plats of all needed rights-of-way and necessary easements, and (B) Construction of a cul-de-sac at the eastern end of Branson Springs Road (State Route 668) as shown on the GDP, together with dedication plats of all needed rights-of-way and necessary easements. In addition to the construction of this cul-de-sac, the Owner shall construct new access points and driveways to Branson Springs Road (State Route 668) to serve the two parcel owners identified as 2023 Frederick County Tax Map Parcels 33-A-87 and 34-1-B. Following approval of the design plans for the Road Improvements by the County and VDOT, the Owner shall provide a corporate surety bond approved by the County Attorney for the construction of the Road Improvements using a proffer performance 11 Rezoning #03-23 O-N Mineral (Chemstone) dba Carmeuse Americas September 21, 2023 Page 8 agreement. The Road Improvements described in Section 4.4.B and 4.4.C above must be completed by the Owner prior to Owner’s extraction of material from the rezoned Property for processing, or fifteen (15) years following approval of the design plans by the County/VDOT, whichever comes first. Road Improvements described in Section 4.4.A must be completed within ten (10) years following approval of the design plans by the County/VDOT. The section of Woodside Road (State Route 671) between the new cul-de- sac and its intersection with Grace Church Road (State Route 668) may be abandoned in order to accommodate the desired land use in phases, while keeping the other sections of the road open to vehicular traffic until such time as the other approved Road Abandonments and Relocations become effective. The Owner shall also dedicate all needed rights-of-way and necessary easements for these roadway improvements on the Property to the Board at no cost to the County prior to the commencement of any road construction activities. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Road Abandonments and Relocations contained in Section 4.3 above, Woodside Road (State Route 671) north of Grace Church Road, Branson Springs Road (State Route 668), and Grace Church Road (State Route 668) shall remain open for vehicular traffic until such time as the New Road has been completed and is opened for vehicular traffic, at which time the approved Road Abandonments and Relocations shall become effective. Staff note : S taff would note that the roads to be constructed are comprehensive planned to be major collector roa dways which indicates a likely future need for a 4- lane divided facility. Measures should be taken to res e rve suffici ent right-of -ay for future widening. Additionally, measure s should be taken to avoid items such as significant curves or other design elements that are not conducive to safe and efficient travel and particularly industrial traffic. 4.5 Mine Traffic and Tunnel Under Brucetown Road For all rezoned Property, the Owner will utilize the tunnel beneath Brucetown Road for the hauling of production materials between Owner’s rezoned and owned properties, and Owner’s existing zoned and owned properties. 4.6 No Increase in Quarry-Related Truck Traffic Volumes Exiting onto Brucetown Road While approval of Rezoning Application RZ # 03-23 will allow for additional mineral resource mining to take place on land rezoned to the EM (Extractive Manufacturing) district, the rezoning does not contemplate any increase in the processing capacity of the lime plant, aggregate plant, or milled limestone plant currently being operated by Owner. Staff note: For clarity this is not a commitment to not further expand p roce ssing capacity of the e xisting processing operations not subject to this rezoning. However, recognizing that traffic on Brucetown Road is nonetheless a concern to some members of the community, if at any time after Final Approval the average daily traffic of 12 Rezoning #03-23 O-N Mineral (Chemstone) dba Carmeuse Americas September 21, 2023 Page 9 ticketed customer trucks over any consecutive 30-day period exceeds 400 ticketed customer trucks leaving the plant via the Brucetown Road exit per day, the Owner shall provide an additional one-time cash contribution to the County in the amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for road improvements in the vicinity of Hopewell Road, Martinsville Pike and Brucetown Road. Following Final Approval, upon reasonable advanced written notice to Owner, an employee of the County, subject to reasonable and customary terms of confidentiality due to the competitive/sensitive nature of such information, may perform an audit of Owner’s books and records showing the number of customer trucks departing the plant via the Brucetown Road exit, as evidenced by departing customer scalehouse tickets, in order to verify Owner’s compliance with this section. Staff note: Staff is uncertain how much, if at all, the proposed “400 ticketed customer trucks exiting ” exceeds current facility norms as they attempt to evaluate this proffer . In addition, staff would note that there could be a scenario based on future business decisions and/or demand the Applicant could exceed the threshold and pay the penalty, after which the Board would have no further recourse or ability to offset the impact re gardless of how m uch or for how long the Applica nt exceeded the threshold. 4.7 Exit and Relocation Restrictions Owner further covenants and agrees that: (i) Owner shall not use any other point of exit from the plant onto Brucetown Road other than the Brucetown Road exit that exists as of the date of this rezoning application, and (ii) Owner shall not relocate Owner’s existing lime kilns or related equipment onto the newly rezoned Property. Staff note: Related to the staff n ote to proffer 4.6, staff would express concern regarding the ability for the County and/or VDOT to require future entrance improvements to address growth (if there is growth) in traffic at the entrance. 5. BLASTING ACTIVITIES 5.1 Limitations on Blasting Hours and Other Operating Activity Hours of Operation Owner covenants and agrees that no drilling, blasting, or hauling activities shall take place on the Property on the following major holidays: New Year's Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, the day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve Day, and Christmas Day. Furthermore, Owner agrees it shall limit all blasting activities to the hours between 11AM and 5PM, Monday through Friday. If there is an emergency situation that necessitates 13 Rezoning #03-23 O-N Mineral (Chemstone) dba Carmeuse Americas September 21, 2023 Page 10 blasting outside these hours, Owner shall give the County Zoning Administrator prior notice of the date and time that such blasting will occur, and the reason that necessitates the off- hour blasting. 5.2 Limitation on Total Blasting Activity All blasting associated with mining activities on the Property is governed by Owner’s mining permit approved by the VDOE. In addition, Owner agrees that it will further limit all blasting activity on the Property North of Brucetown Road to a maximum of fifteen (15) total blasts in any consecutive five (5) day period. 5.3 Pre-Blast Alerts The Owner shall establish and maintain a notification methodology that will provide advanced notice, upon request, to any party that owns property within fifteen hundred feet (1,500’) of Owner’s rezoned Property (the “Surrounding Property”), of any blasting that will occur North of Brucetown Road. Such notification methods may include, but shall not be limited to, telephone calls, text messages and/or emails. 5.4 Blasting Activity Planning and Monitoring Owner agrees to have a VDOE-approved blasting plan in place at all times. Peak particle velocities (PPV) shall not exceed the limits contained in, and shall be monitored in accordance with, Owner’s mining permit approved by the VDOE. In addition to the VDOE monitoring requirements, Owner agrees to install and maintain a minimum of three (3) additional permanent seismograph units in areas that surround any new active quarry location on the Property to further monitor PPV and air vibrations related to blasting activity on the Property. The location of these additional seismograph units shall be chosen in coordination with, and at the direction of, a licensed seismograph engineer that is experienced in this function in order to maximize such units’ monitoring sensitivity. 5.5 Damage Caused by Blasting Any damage to the Surrounding Property caused by blasting on the rezoned Property (such causation being verified by the VDOE as well as an independent third-party expert) shall be promptly remediated and repaired by Owner at Owner’s sole cost and expense. Staff note: VDOE verific ation should be sufficient to require remediation. A third party should only be included if the initial review by VDOE find s no causation. 14 Rezoning #03-23 O-N Mineral (Chemstone) dba Carmeuse Americas September 21, 2023 Page 11 6. NOISE AND LIGHT EMISSIONS 6.1 In order to reduce noise emissions, the Owner shall install directional ("white noise") style back-up horns on all mining equipment and any other vehicles operating on the Property that have back-up alarms. These “white noise” alarms will replace the louder “beep” style alarms routinely installed on Owner’s mining equipment/vehicles. 6.2 In order to reduce light emissions, the Owner shall not install fixed lights on top of berms or stockpiles on the rezoned Property. 6.3 All lighting installed on the rezoned Property North of Brucetown Road shall be down- facing, unless otherwise required by the VDOE or other applicable regulatory agency. Staff note: The comments from the County Attorney noted the potential use of temporary lighting and in response the Applicant noted that temporary lighting would not be used. However, the proffers do not appear to prohibit their use. Temporary lighting, particularly if powered by a gasoline generator has the p otential to create a negative impact to surrounding properties. 7. DUST 7.1 Dust from all mining and production operations on the rezoned Property shall be controlled by wet suppression, or equivalent, consistent with the terms and conditions of the general air permit issued by the VDEQ. 7.2 In addition, Owner shall perform street sweeping services twice per week from the current Brucetown Road entrance and 2,000 feet west on Brucetown Road to further mitigate the potential of any fugitive dust. Staff note: Staff would suggest that due to varying weather patterns a nd levels of business use that can impact the amount of dust or mud carried to Brucetown Road and the number of past comments from surrounding residents regarding dust and mud on th e roadway combined with the fact that the Applicant would have the equipment available to perform th e service that roadway dust and mud be treated daily. 8. GROUND WATER 8.1 Owner shall maintain a minimum of two (2) monitoring wells to establish baseline water levels to effectively monitor and avoid any detrimental impact to groundwater wells on the Surrounding Property. Owner agrees to install at least one (1) such monitoring well within six (6) months after Final Approval. 8.2 Any adverse impact or damage to wells located on the Surrounding Property caused by Owner’s mining activity on the rezoned Property (such causation being verified by VDOE 15 Rezoning #03-23 O-N Mineral (Chemstone) dba Carmeuse Americas September 21, 2023 Page 12 as well as an independent third-party expert) shall be promptly remediated and repaired by Owner at Owner’s sole cost and expense. Staff note: As noted above, VDOE determination of impact should not require th ird party verification of the need to offset an impact unless VDOE determines there not to be cau sation. In addition, staff would note that the Applicant has re cently completed and awaits peer review on a hydrogeologic s tudy. The results of this peer reviewed document could be an important considera tion for the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors. 9. CONTRIBUTION IN SUPPORT OF VOLUNTEER FIRE AND RESCUE SERVICES 9.1.

The site is bounded by the Winchester & Western Railroad on the west, undeveloped land to the east, Woodbine Road to the north and Turkey Run to the south. PROJECT AREA 51 Carmeuse Lime & Stone Clear Brook, VA 3 Site Suitability 100 Year Flood Plains – The project area has a floodplain on the south. Turkey Run parallels the southern boundary of the project area and its floodplain also extends into the project area. Figure 2 shows the FEMA flood hazard mapping with this floodplain area. About 10 acres of the Turkey Run floodplain extend towards the mining area. Current plans call for impacts to this stream and wetland to be avoided. Figure 2 Floodplain Map PROJECT AREA 52 Carmeuse Lime & Stone Clear Brook, VA 4 Wetlands – A desktop review of the US Fish and Wildlife Service's National Wetland Inventory mapping shows there are wetlands on the site. Figure 3 shows the location of wetlands mapped by the agency. 53 Carmeuse Lime & Stone Clear Brook, VA 5 Figure 3 National Wetland Inventory Map Project Location 54 Carmeuse Lime & Stone Clear Brook, VA 6 There are two freshwater ponds shown as wetland areas on the NWI map. Prior to any site work activity the entire site will be reviewed to confirm the presence of these and other wetlands. Any permits required for the wetland areas will be obtained from the appropriate agency. Steep Slopes – Based on field observations and 5 ft contour mapping provided by the Frederick County GIS, the site has been found to be generally flat, without any steep slopes. Mature Woodlands – There are no areas of mature woodlands on the site. Prime Agricultural Soils – Based on data from the USDA Web Soil Survey, the soils are classified as shown in Table 2. Of the soils listed, 3B Blairton silt loam, 14B Frederick Poplimento, 29 Massanetta loam, and 32B Oaklet silt loam are recognized by the USDA as prime farmland soils. Figure 4 shows the soils map.

The relocated portion of the road will be constructed as a two-lane paved roadway from Grace Church Road to its intersection with Woodbine Road. Also, Branson Springs Road will terminate in a cul de sac east of the W&W Railroad crossing, and Woodside Road will also terminate in a cul de sac just east of the W&W Railroad crossing near the Titan concrete plant. Figure 5 shows the location of these roadway features. Mining equipment will cross Brucetown Road through an existing tunnel under the road. Carmeuse customers will continue to use the existing entrance on Brucetown Road. 58 Carmeuse Lime & Stone Clear Brook, VA 10 Figure 5 Proposed Roadway Modifications Sewage Conveyance and Treatment Wastewater generated on the site will be in Port-a-Pottys which will be maintained by private haulers. Wastewater will be transported to the Opequon Creek Water Reclamation facility where it will be treated. 59 Carmeuse Lime & Stone Clear Brook, VA 11 Water Supply There will not be a need for potable water in the mine area. Excess water from the mine could potentially be used to supply drinking water to Frederick County citizens and businesses. Drainage Drainage from the area flows east via Turkey Run and Duncan Run. Surface runoff from the mining area will be routed through stormwater management facilities to control the quantity and quality of stormwater leaving the site. Solid Waste Disposal Facilities There is no planned solid waste stream associated with this project. If solid waste should occur, it will be collected and disposed of by private haulers. The solid waste generated in the mine, if any, will be transferred to the Frederick County Landfill Facility by private licensed commercial carriers. Historical Site and Structures A review of the online Virginia Dept. of Historic Resources records shows several historic architectural or archeological sites in the proposed project area. Figure 6 shows the Dept of Historic Resources map showing the location of the features. The following brief descriptions correlate to the feature ID number. Site 034-5138. A review of the VA Department of Historic Resources records showed this resource as a barn on Woodside Road, constructed between 1946 and 1991 with no discernable style. Site 034-0730. The VA Department of Historic Resources records showed this resource as the Dangerfield-Phelps-Robinson, House, currently known as Mt Prospect. It was constructed in 1810Ca during the Early National Period (1790-1829). Mt Prospect is unusual in that is a stone house which burned and was partially rebuilt using brick. Site 034-0731. The VA Department of Historic Resources records identified this site as the Branson-Stephenson-Huyett-Light House, currently known as Woodside. The house was constructed in the 1840Ca Antebellum Period (1839-1860). Site 034-1053. The VA Department of Historic Resources records also showed this resource as the David Shaull house, currently known as the - Anderson – Reese House. The house was constructed in 1845Ca Antebellum Period (1830-1860). Site 44FK0697. The VA Department of Historic Resources records also showed this site as a small trash scatter near the Mt. pleasant house. 60 Carmeuse Lime & Stone Clear Brook, VA 12 Figure 6 VA Department of Historic Resources Map 61 Carmeuse Lime & Stone Clear Brook, VA 13 Impact on Community Facilities Educational Facilities – This project will not add children to the school system. Emergency Services – the Frederick County Sheriff Department will provide Police protection. The property is in the first response area for the Clear Brook Fire and Rescue station. Therefore, response times from the station to the site are reasonable. Parks and Recreation – This project will not add to the population of Frederick County and, therefore, will not increase the demand for Parks and Recreational services. Solid Waste – As previously stated, solid waste is not expected to be generated on the site, but if any occurs it will be collected and transported by private haulers to the Frederick County land fill. 62 October 31, 2022 TRAFFIC DIVERSION STUDY Carmeuse Lime and Stone Clear Brook, VA 12/19/22 Prepared for: Carmeuse Lime & Stone 508 Quarry Lane Clear Brook, VA 22642 Prepared by: Stowe Engineering, PLC 103 Heath Court Winchester, VA 22602 12/20/22 63 Table of Contents Executive Summary ....................................................................................................................................... 2 Introduction and Background Information ................................................................................................... 1 Project Location and Description .............................................................................................................. 1 Non-existent Transportation Improvements ............................................................................................ 2 TIA Scoping ................................................................................................................................................ 2 Study Area ................................................................................................................................................. 2 Existing Roadway Descriptions ................................................................................................................. 3 Nearby Land Uses ..................................................................................................................................... 4 Comprehensive Plan ............................................................................................................................. 4 Zoning ................................................................................................................................................... 6 VDOT Functional Classification ................................................................................................................. 7 Multi-Modal Access .................................................................................................................................. 7 Future Transportation Improvements ...................................................................................................... 7 Existing Conditions ........................................................................................................................................ 8 Existing Traffic Operations ........................................................................................................................ 8 Assessment of the Existing Conditions: .................................................................................................... 8 Planned Quarry Development .................................................................................................................... 10 Overview ................................................................................................................................................. 10 Roadways Impacted ............................................................................................................................ 10 Travel Times ............................................................................................................................................ 12 Diverted Travel Times ......................................................................................................................... 14 Delays ...................................................................................................................................................... 16 Conclusions and Recommendations ........................................................................................................... 17 64 Executive Summary This Traffic Diversion Study has been performed to quantify the changes in travel times resulting from the relocation and vacation of public roadways that pass through the mining area proposed by Carmeuse. The Virginia Department of Energy regulations prohibits the traveling public from entering a permitted mine area due to the potential dangers of mining activity. Therefore, Carmeuse proposes to reroute the traveling public around the proposed mining area by vacating portions of the following public roads: • Branson Springs Road (Route 668) to be terminated with a cul de sac near the W&W railroad crossing. • Woodside Road (Route 671) to be terminated with a cul de sac near the W&W railroad crossing. • Woodside Road (Route 671) to be relocated to the east of the proposed mine area. • Grace Church Road (Route 668) to be routed into the relocated Woodside Road. Travel times were collected in five runs between 11:00AM and 2:00PM along three primary travel routes between Point A, the intersection of Grace Church Rd and John Deere Ct, and US Route 11 and I-81. Travel times were also computed on a new route between Point A and US Route 11 and I-81 at Rest Church Road. The collected travel times were averaged to arrive at a travel time for each route. Variations in travel times are attributed to the distance, roadway surface, speed limits, and signal phasing. The speed limits on Grace Church, Woodside, and Branson Spring Roads are 35MPH by statute, but due to the narrow roadway width, short site distances, and gravel surface, most drivers will not feel safe at that speed. The higher speed limit and hard surface on Sir John and Brucetown Roads permit motorists to travel at higher speeds, reducing their overall travel times. In addition, the traffic signals at Route 11 randomly affected travel times to I-81. Existing travel on Grace Church, Woodside, and Branson Spring Roads is limited by driver comfort, which results in slower speeds due to the narrow roadway width, short site distances, and gravel surface. The relocated woodside Rd will be paved, which will enable motorists to travel at 45MPH. The traffic signal at Route 11 and Rest Church Road randomly affected travel times to I-81. The following table summarizes the anticipated changes in travel times resulting from the proposed diversions. 65 From To Travel Time increase/decrease (min:sec) Diverted travel time (min:sec) Int of John Deere Ct & Grace Ch Rd Int of Route 11 & Brucetown Rd via Brucetown Rd instead of Grace Ch + Branson Sp + Rte 11 -0:36 3:40 Int of I-81 SB ramp @ Hopewell Rd via Brucetown Rd instead of Grace Ch + Branson Sp + Rte 11* Int of John Deere Ct & Grace Ch Rd -0:57 5:26 Int of John Deere Ct & Grace Ch Rd Int. of Route 11 & Rest Church Rd -0:09 6:45 Int of John Deere Ct & Grace Ch Rd Int of I-81 NB ramp and Rest Church Rd -0:11 7:35 While the travel time savings associated with the proposed diversions are minor, they do allow the traveling public to reach their destinations efficiently and safely. This engineer believes that the changes in travel times resulting from this rezoning are both manageable and acceptable for this project setting. 66 Introduction and Background Information Page | 1 Introduction and Background Information Project Location and Description This project involves rezoning 391.87 +/- acres in Frederick County, VA, for surface ore mining. The project is north of Clear Brook, VA, and east of Route 11. Figure 1 shows the location of the site. Figure 1 Project location map The project site consists of rolling fields currently being used for farming. Route 11 and I-81 are to the west of the site, Woodbine Road is to the north, and the W&W railroad is along the western property boundary. Grace Church Road (Route 668), Branson Springs Rd (Route 668), and Woodside Road (Route 671) are gravel roads that pass through the project area. Two single- family residences and some farm buildings are also present within the project boundary. Exit 323 Exit 321 67 Introduction and Background Information Page | 2 Non-existent Transportation Improvements Based on a review of the online VDOT Six-Year Improvement plan, there are no VDOT roadway improvement projects in the area. The Frederick County 2022/23-2027/28 PRIMARY ROAD IMPROVEMENT PLAN calls for Route 11 to be widened to a 4-lane urban section between Cedar Hill Road and West Virginia and the Frederick County NON-HARD SURFACE ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS 2022/2023 through 2027/2028 show the paving of Grace Church Road as unscheduled. Both projects are dependent on VDOT funding. TIA Scoping A Traffic Study Pre-Scope of Work meeting was held with VDOT on January 25th, 2022, with a follow-up meeting on March 30th, 2022. The study was determined to be a Diversion Study rather than a routine Traffic Impact Analysis since the proposed rezoning generates no new traffic. A copy of the final scoping document is included in Appendix A. Study Area The study area extends from Rest Church Road (Route 669) on the north to Hopewell and Brucetown Roads (Route 672) on the south and from Sir Johns Road (Route 667) on the east to I-81 on the west. Figure 2 shows the study area in this analysis. 68 Introduction and Background Information Page | 3 Figure 2 Project Study Area Existing Roadway Descriptions The attributes of the existing road network in the study area are described in Table 1.

See figure 4. Figure 4 Frederick County Zoning Map Rezoning Area 72 Introduction and Background Information Page | 7 VDOT Functional Classification The VDOT Functional Plan for this portion of Frederick County is shown in Figure 5, which shows Route 11 (Martinsburg Pike) as a "Major Collector" in the vicinity of the study area, and I-81 with a Functional Classification of "Interstate." The functional designation establishes the VDOT Access Management requirements for median crossovers and traffic control. Figure 5 VDOT Approved Roadway Functional Classification Map Multi-Modal Access The existing roadway network does not include continuous pedestrian access. Bike lanes are not included in the existing roadway typical sections. Future Transportation Improvements Based on a review of the online VDOT Six-Year Improvement plan, there are no VDOT roadway improvement projects in the area. The Frederick County 2022/23-2027/28 PRIMARY ROAD IMPROVEMENT PLAN calls for Route 11 to be widened to a 4-lane urban section between Cedar Hill Road and West Virginia and the Frederick County NON-HARD SURFACE ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS 2022/2023 through 2027/2028 show the paving of Grace Church Road as unscheduled. Both projects are dependent on VDOT funding. 73 Existing Conditions Page | 8 Existing Conditions Existing Traffic Operations For background and reference, turning movement traffic counts were collected on Tuesday, November 16th, and Thursday, November 18th, 2021, from 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM and from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM to identify the peak traffic volume hours. Upon reviewing the data, abnormally high volumes were observed in the AM count around exit 321. Upon further investigation, it was found that an accident in the southbound lanes of I-81 just south of exit 321 was causing traffic to reroute onto Hopewell Road and south on Route 11. Therefore, this area was counted again on May 17th, 2022. Pre-COVID AM traffic counts collected in 2019 were grown at 1%/year for three years and were used as a comparison to the May 17th counts around exit 321. The AM peak hour volumes used at exit 321, Hopewell Road and Brucetown Road are a blend and adjustment of volumes representing the historical traffic growth. The November 18th, 2021, PM peak hour volumes were unaffected. In addition to the counts at Brucetown and Hopewell Roads, a combined count was assembled to identify the peak hours for the combined traffic volume. Following consultation with VDOT, a 24 hr video count was performed at the intersection of Woodside Rd and Branson Springs Rd, and Woodside Rd Grace Church Rd on Tuesday, April 6th, 2022. The traffic count data is included in Appendix B. The existing turning movement data for the AM and PM peak hours are summarized in Figure 6. Assessment of the Existing Conditions: • Very few vehicles are using Branson Springs Rd, Woodside Rd, and Grace Church Road. Eleven vehicles passed through the Branson Springs/Woodside intersection during the peak AM hour which includes two UPS size trucks. During the peak PM hour, a total of twenty-two vehicles passed through the Branson Springs/Woodside intersection with no trucks. These volumes are proposed to be rerouted. • A large volume of southbound traffic moves from Route 11 to Rest Church Road to I-81 in the AM peak hour and goes opposite in the PM peak hour. This consumes much of the capacity on Rest Church Road, creating traffic congestion in the morning and evening peak hours. The other intersections in the vicinity of exit 323 functions without undue congestion. • The east and west approaches of the signalized intersections of Hopewell and Brucetown Roads on Route 11 experience delays in the AM and PM peak hours. Heavy vehicles are going to and from various commercial and industrial facilities near the intersection. When heavy vehicles are present, they delay traffic because they accelerate slower than a car. In addition, the approaches from the east and west both have a single shared lane which restricts turning movements and causes further delays. 74 Existing Conditions Page | 9 Figure 6 2021 Existing Traffic Volumes 75 Travel Times Page | 10 Planned Quarry Development Overview Carmeuse has acquired property north of Brucetown Road and intends to perform surface mining there. The mining activity will extend northward from the existing quarries north side of Brucetown Road, as shown in Figure 2. While the mining activity will take place over many years, the initial berm construction and vegetative screening is expected to occur early in the project development. This work will cause several roads in the project area to be rerouted or closed, which will require motorists to travel on alternate routes. Impacted Roadways The Virginia Department of Energy regulations prohibits the traveling public from entering an active mine area due to the danger mining activity presents. Therefore, prior to work beginning those roadways that pass through the mining area will be rerouted or closed. This includes: • Branson Springs Road (Route 668) to be closed with a cul de sac east of the W&W railroad crossing • Woodside Road (Route 671) to be rerouted • Grace Church Road (Route 668) to be closed with a cul de sac east of the W&W railroad crossing Woodside Road will be relocated to the east of the rezoning area. Figure 7 shows these planned road changes. 76 Travel Times Page | 11 Figure 7 Planned Roadway Changes Rezoning Area 77 Travel Times Page | 12 Travel Times As previously mentioned, the purpose of this study is to determine the change in travel times motorists will experience due to these roadways being relocated or closed. Methodology To determine the difference in travel times, travel time runs along the roadways to be rerouted or closed were measured, as were travel times along the logical alternative routes. A set of travel times runs along each route was measured five times, and then averaged to get a travel time. Appendix C shows the data from the travel time runs and the average time. Travel times were measured between 11:00AM and 1:00 PM on Wednesday September 14 and Thursday September 15, 2022. Performing the travel time runs mid-day provided a better representation of the actual travel times without variable delays caused by external conditions, such as variable traffic volumes and congestion in the peak hours. For the purposes of this study, the intersection of Grace Church Road and John Deere Court was selected as the origin-destination point for the motorist who the proposed road changes will divert. This intersection is positioned to give the motorist a choice of routes to Route 11 and I- 81. Also, for the purposes of this study, it is assumed that motorists desiring to go south on I-81 will use Brucetown Road to Hopewell Road. Those wishing to go north on Route 11 or I-81 are using any combination of routes, including Grace Church Road to Branson Springs Road to Route 11, and Grace Church Road to Woodside Road to Woodbine Road to Route 11. To develop a travel time as close as possible to that experienced by motorists currently using the affected roadways, origin and destination points were identified as: • Southbound I-81 ramps at exit 321 • Northbound I-81 ramps at exit 323 • Route 11 at the intersection of Brucetown Rd • Route 11 at the intersection of Rest Church Rd • The intersection of Grace Church Road and John Deere Ct Tables 2 and 3 show the existing average inbound and outbound travel times between these origins and destinations. 78 Travel Times Page | 13 Table 2 Existing outbound travel times.

Northbound motorists will use the relocated Woodside Road to get to Route 11 and I-81NB. To get the travel time for routes using the relocated Woodside Road a speed of 45 MPH for the 2.3-mile length of new road was added to the proportional travel times on Grace church Road and Woodbine Roads. Tables 4 through 7 provide the computation of the travel time for this route.

For motorists desiring to go south on Route 11 or I-81 from point A, the travel time using Brucetown Road is shorter than that of Grace Church and Branson Spring Roads. The travel times for motorists traveling north to Rest Church Road are longer. Table 6 provides a summary of the increase/decrease in travel times and the diverted travel times.

The variations in travel times are primarily attributed to the roadway surface, speed limits, and signal phasing. The speed limits on Grace Church, Woodside, and Branson Spring Roads are 35MPH by statute, but due to the narrow roadway width, short site distances, and gravel surface, a driver may not feel safe at that speed. While travel times were being collected, 25MPH was the maximum speed our drivers wanted to go. The higher speed limit and hard surface roads on Sir Johns and Brucetown Roads permit the motorist to travel at higher speeds, thereby reducing their overall travel times. The traffic signal at Route 11 and Brucetown Road randomly affected travel times to I-81. Travel to Rest Church Road is likewise affected by roadway surface, speed limits, and signal phasing. Travel on Grace Church, Woodside, and Branson Spring Roads is limited by driver comfort, and slower speeds are experienced due to the narrow roadway width, short site distances, and gravel surface. Even though the distance is longer, the ability to travel at 45MPH over those longer distances increased the travel times only modestly. The traffic signal at Route 11 and Rest Church Road randomly affected travel times to I-81. 82 Conclusions and Recommendations Page | 17 Conclusions and Recommendations This Traffic Diversion Study has been performed to quantify the changes in travel times resulting from the relocation and vacation of public roadways that pass through the mining area proposed by Carmeuse. The Virginia Department of Energy regulations prohibits the traveling public from entering a permitted mine area due to the potential dangers of mining activity. Therefore, Carmeuse proposes to reroute the traveling public around the proposed mining area by vacating portions of the following public roads: • Branson Springs Road (Route 668) to be terminated with a cul de sac near the W&W railroad crossing. • Woodside Road (Route 671) to be terminated with a cul de sac near the W&W railroad crossing. • Woodside Road (Route 671) to be relocated to the east of the proposed mine area. • Grace Church Road (Route 668) to be routed into the relocated Woodside Road. Travel times were collected in five runs between 11:00AM and 2:00PM along three primary travel routes between Point A, the intersection of Grace Church Rd and John Deere Ct, and US Route 11 and I-81. Travel times were also computed on a new route between Point A and US Route 11 and I-81 at Rest Church Road. The collected travel times were averaged to arrive at a travel time for each route. Variations in travel times are attributed to the distance, roadway surface, speed limits, and signal phasing. The speed limits on Grace Church, Woodside, and Branson Spring Roads are 35MPH by statute, but due to the narrow roadway width, short site distances, and gravel surface, most drivers will not feel safe at that speed. The higher speed limit and hard surface on Sir John and Brucetown Roads permit motorists to travel at higher speeds, reducing their overall travel times. In addition, the traffic signals at Route 11 randomly affected travel times to I-81. Existing travel on Grace Church, Woodside, and Branson Spring Roads is limited by driver comfort, which results in slower speeds due to the narrow roadway width, short site distances, and gravel surface. The relocated woodside Rd will be paved, which will enable motorists to travel at 45MPH. The traffic signal at Route 11 and Rest Church Road randomly affected travel times to I-81. This engineer believes that this rezoning and its associated traffic diversions result in travel time changes that are both manageable and acceptable for this project setting. 83 Appendix A Pre-Scope of Work Meeting Form 84 SCOPING INFORMATION Traffic Impact Analysis for Carmeuse Rezoning January 13, 2022 Rev 3/23/22 Prepared by Stowe Engineering, PLC 103 Heath Court Winchester, VA 22602 85 It is important for the applicant to provide sufficient information to county and VDOT staff so that questions regarding geographic scope, alternate methodology, or other issues can be answered at the scoping meeting.

The rezoning will allow Carmeuse to gain access to additional reserves to continue operations at current levels. There is no plan to increase production, and therefore traffic is expected to remain unchanged from present-day traffic volumes. In recent years Carmeuse has relied heavily on rail to move large amounts of aggregate out of the area. Locally, trucks transport aggregate, lime, and milled limestone. Almost all trucks come from or head to the west on Brucetown Road. From there, the rips disburse on Route 11 or I-81. The Institute for Transportation Engineer's Trip Generation Manual, the 11th edition, does not have a land use category for surface mines. Therefore, historical count data and current turning movement counts have been used to quantify the existing trips generated at the Carmeuse plant in Clear Brook, VA. Truck Design Hourly Volume: Carmeuse weighs all customer aggregate trucks when they leave the property. All customer lime and milled limestone trucks cross the scales on arrival and departure from the property. This action provides a historical record of the total number of trucks leaving the property. Table 1 and Figure 1 on the following pages show the monthly and daily average number of trucks crossing the scales in each of the last four years. The monthly average number of trucks for each of the past 4 years was ordered from highest to lowest and plotted from this data. See Table 2 and Figure 2. By evaluating the slope of the line, it becomes easy to identify an overall daily design volume at 200 trucks/day based on the line's upper break point. Trip Generation: The daily design volume of trucks is 43% greater than the actual volume of trucks that crossed the scales on November 16, 2021, the day the turning movement counts were collected at the Carmeuse entrance. To calculate the average AM and PM peak hour trips at the entrance, the peak hour turning movement volumes entering and leaving the site was increased by 43%. The result is presented in Table 3, which also provides a breakdown of non-customer trips, including 90 employees, 30 contractor employees (average), and 15 trips for goods and services.

From Tim Stowe Stowe Engineering, PLC CC Transportation Planning, Staunton Dist Re Traffic Study for Carmeuse Rezoning, Clear Brook, VA 92 01.17.2022 Memo Pg.02 Variations in the traffic volumes at Carmeuse are seasonal. And while the traffic data collected for the Traffic Impact Analysis will include all Carmeuse related peak hour trips, the values shown in Table 3 provide a conservative average of the daily and peak hour trips. 93 2018 2019 2020 2021 Notes Jan 5006 2483 4101 2801 Feb 4451 1976 3146 2339 March 3788 3182 3468 3855 April 5155 3932 3825 3486 May 5181 4262 4096 3086 June 5223 4445 4308 4362 July 4699 4206 3950 3671 Aug 4106 4550 3140 3630 Sept 3652 6759 3553 3386 Oct 4380 6743 5082 3765 Nov 3733 3451 3281 3142 Nov 2021 Average = 126/day Dec 3053 2711 2391 3389 Total 52427 48700 44341 40912 Month Truck Avg 4,369 4,058 3,695 3,656 Daily Truck Avg 175 162 148 146 Using 25 days per month(excluding Sat's) TABLE 1.

We are unaware, however, whether the Property owners intend to authorize your firm to make binding commitments on their behalf as this matter progresses. While attorneys at law may obviously appear before County officials to present and advocate for a rezoning, in the absence of powers of attorney from the owners, the County would of course be unable to accept any changes to the Proffer Statement without each of the owners then expressly acknowledging agreement to the changes. The person authorized to sign is Nicholas Bonarrigo, who is a duly empowered corporate officer of O-N Minerals (Chemstone) Company. O-N Minerals (Chemstone) now owns the entirety of parcel 34 A 129E. As such Carmeuse will be the only signatory. As the Rezoning proposes that two of the parcels - 34-A-8A and 34-A- 129E - would be split-zoned, we will need a metes and bounds plat of the proposed zoning district boundaries, to prevent any ambiguities as to exactly what areas are subject to which zoning. Also, per the proposed Generalized Development Plan (the "GDP"), the right-of- way for proposed relocated Woodside Road would be outside the rezoned portion of parcel 34-A-129E, but in order to bind that portion of parcel 34-A-129E to a commitment to provide right-of-way for the relocation, that additional portion of parcel 34-A-129E would need to be part of the Rezoning. O-N Minerals (Chemstone) now owns the entirety of parcel 34 A 129E. The proposed right of way for the relocated Woodside Road, which is outside of the rezoning area, will be on lands owned by O-N Minerals (Chemstone). A metes and bounds plat for the spilt parcels has been provided and is shown on the GDP. As written, the obligations in the Proffer Statement are obligations only of the "Applicant", which the Proffer Statement defines only as Carmeuse. In order for the Proffer Statement to be fully enforceable, all obligations should be those of the "Owners", as defined in the Proffer Statement. The Owner and the Applicant is now O-N Minerals (Chemestone) Company, and the word Applicant has been removed from the proffers. 140 O-N MINERALS (Chemstone) COMPANY d/b/a CARMEUSE AMERICAS REFERRAL AGENCY COMMENTS/RESPONSES Revised 7/10/2023 REFERRAL AGENCY DATE REC'D.REFERRAL AGENCY COMMENT RESPONSE TO COMMENTS GDP - The materials are not entirely clear regarding what constitutes the GDP, as the document labelled "Generalized Development Plan" has multiple pages stapled to it and, as well, immediately following the stapled pages were pages with various stockpile photosimulations. I note, in particular, that the second of the pages stapled together may be helpful for inclusion as part of the GDP. Also, with respect to labeling, the label that the Proffer Statement text indicates - "Generalized Development Plan - Carmeuse Lime & Stone Clear Brook Quarry" - is not the same as that on the GDP, as the latter does not reference "Clear Brook Quarry". The GDP is a stand-alone 1-page document. All other documents are for illustrative purposes only and are not proffered. Proffer 1 - The proffer refers to the GDP delineating the general location of the "quarry" but does not define what would constitute the "quarry". This leaves unclear whether the "quarry" is, for example, just the excavation pit or whether the "quarry" also includes areas for the conduct of related activities. This has been better defined in the Proffer Statement and the property shall be developed in substantial conformance with the GDP, which shows the outline of the quarry pit. Proffer 2 - The proffer purports to obligate Carmeuse with respect to Carmeuse's existing operations at its facility south of Brucetown Road, which is not part of the Property. In this regard, the last sentence of Proffer 2.1 refers to relocating "removed stockpile elements" to "other" areas of the Property; there is no stockpile on the Property now, so what constitutes the "other" areas of the Property is unclear. Also, no binding documents appear to indicate the location of any stockpiles on the Property (again, only the page attached to the GDP, but not designated as part of the GDP, refers to a stockpile). We have provided Exhibit A in the proffer statement to show the area of the new stockpile will be located. See Proffer 2.2. Proffer 3.1 - The Proffer does not identify the time within which removal of the stockpiles will take place, nor does it identify any means for securing satisfaction of this obligation. Future stockpiles in the newly rezoned area will be depleted as market conditions dictate. See revised proffer statement 3.2 for further clarification. 141 O-N MINERALS (Chemstone) COMPANY d/b/a CARMEUSE AMERICAS REFERRAL AGENCY COMMENTS/RESPONSES Revised 7/10/2023 REFERRAL AGENCY DATE REC'D.REFERRAL AGENCY COMMENT RESPONSE TO COMMENTS Proffer 3.2 - Unless the second of the pages stapled together with the GDP is specifically included as part of the GDP, the Proffer Statement does not identify the locations of the berms. Please refer to Exhibit A in the proffer statement for approximate berm locations. Proffer 4.1 - The proffer is unclear, in that it discusses "public roadways proposed for improvement", but the Proffer Statement generally proposes only the relocation of existing roadways, as opposed to improvement of any roadways. The relocated road shall be designed and constructed as a rural 2 lane paved road meeting the VDOT standards in a dedicated fee simple right-of-way. Proffers 4.2 and 4.3 - The proffers do not state the time within which Carmeuse would dedicate each parcel, following the respective County request. The revised proffer statement now contains the timing of the dedication of the parcels. See Proffer 4.2. Proffer 4.3 - Staff should be aware that the proffer represents a contingent commitment that would only vest if Carmeuse is successful in acquiring parcel 33-A-115B. We now own this parcel of land and Proffer 4.2.iii has been updated accordingly. Proffer 4.4 - The proffer does not specify a time for completion of the construction. With general respect to the concept of the proposed road abandonments, I acknowledge and appreciate the explanation in your cover letter as to Carmeuse's proposed creative approach to seeking removal of roads from, in particular, the Property's active operations area as shown on the GDP. Having said that, I see two issues, interconnected to some extent, to Carmeuse's proposed approach. First, the process under Va. Code § 33.2-909 is a legislative process, such that whether to act under that process is discretionary for the local governing body. The related issue is one of timing - can VDOT assign what would need to be a conditional effective date to an abandonment under Va. Code § 33.2-912? If not, then Carmeuse would have to proceed without having received definitive VDOT action under § 33.2-912, as the Proffer Statement would still remain in full force and effect. We will build the road within 15 years of approval of the rezoning application and we will do this in a phased approach.

Would this nullify the commitment in the first sentence? If so, the proffer should so state, in such a way that the proffer commitment is conditioned on the occurrence. Also, the proffer may need to clarify that "roadways and tunnels internal it" Carmeuse's property includes other properties owned by Carmeuse and not part of the Rezoning. Carmeuse is currently in the process of obtaining the permits, including a renewed permit from VDOT and OmniTRAX. We will keep the county informed of our progress. Proffer 4.6 - Staff should be aware that this proffer may represent a limited commitment, as it would involve self-reporting by Carmeuse. The revised proffer allows for a County audit of the number of ticketed customer trucks leaving the property via the Brucetown road exit at any time. Proffers 6, 7 and 8 (now covered in revised Proffers 9, 10, and 11) - These proffers certainly represent a well-intended gesture by Carmeuse, but I must question whether they are permissible under applicable law. Virginia Code § 15.2-2298(A) allows for the voluntary proffering of reasonable conditions, provided that, as would be relevant here, (i) the rezoning itself gives rise to the need for the conditions, and (ii) the conditions have a reasonable relation to the rezoning. I recognize that § 15.2-2298 does not necessarily provide an owner a remedy for a locality's acceptance of conditions that may not comply with that section, but Va. Code § 15.2-2208 does. While subsection B of § 15.2-2208.1 appears to offer a safe harbor for a locality's acceptance of non-complying conditions - namely that the applicant must object in writing to the conditions - upon closer inspection of § 15.2-2208.1, that safe harbor does not appear to be absolute. If an applicant objects in writing, yes, the section provides that a court shall presume, absent clear and convincing evidence, the conditions were "the controlling basis" for the locality's decision. However, the absence of that presumption would not prevent an applicant from still attempting to offer direct proof alleging a "controlling basis". See Revised Proffers 9, 10, and 11. Proffer 8 (revised Proffer 12) - Also, notwithstanding the foregoing, I also note that Proffer 8 is not sufficiently definite, as it provides no details regarding the proffered trails. We are not proffering a specific trail; we are proffering services to plan and locate the trail in addition to funds for trail construction.

Krumenacher, GZA GeoEnvironmental, Inc. Stephanie A. Cook, P.G., GZA GeoEnvironmental, Inc. Bernard G. Fenelon, GZA GeoEnvironmental, Inc. File No.: 20.0158489.00 Re: Site Conceptual Hydrogeologic Model Existing Quarry and Proposed New Quarry Carmeuse Winchester Quarry Winchester, Virginia GZA GeoEnvironmental, Inc. (GZA) is pleased to provide O-N Minerals (Chemstone) Company, d/b/a Carmeuse Americas (Carmeuse/“Client”) this site conceptual hydrogeologic model (“Report”) for the Winchester Quarry (“Existing Quarry”) and nearby property to the north in Frederick County, Virginia (“Site”) where Carmeuse is proposing a new quarry development as an expansion of the Existing Quarry (“Proposed Quarry”). The Existing Quarry, Proposed Quarry, and several former quarries between the two locations are referred to collectively as the “Quarry Area” or “quarries,” each shown on Figure 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. During almost 70 years of bedrock mining (quarrying) in the area, the available technical evidence does not support that the pumping of water out of the mine/quarry (dewatering) has impacted nearby springs, streams, ponds, or water supply wells with the possible exception of a 14-foot hand dug well. The evidence that supports this conclusion includes the continued existence of local springs, ponds, streams, and water supply wells near the former and Existing Quarry and the lack of documentation that these resources have experienced problems associated with the quarries. If the opposite were true, there would be ample documentation developed over the decades showing otherwise. 2. The historic and Existing Quarry provides a decades old living laboratory that can be used to predict the potential impact the Proposed Quarry may have on surface water and groundwater, albeit to a lesser degree due to its proposed shallower depth of excavation. 3. The existing quarrying in the Martin Pit will have less potential to impact nearby groundwater users because it will be mined 160 feet shallower than the adjacent East Pit that was mined for several decades. By mining shallower, the groundwater level in and immediately adjacent to the Martin pit will remain at least 160 feet higher than in the East Pit while it was mined and the water was pumped out. 4. Given that water pumping from the East Pit had no reported impact on the nearby springs, streams, ponds, and potable water supply wells, it is reasonable to conclude that 160 feet shallower mining in the adjacent Martin Pit will also not impact those resources. 178 September 25, 2023 File No. 20.0158489.00 Site Conceptual Hydrogeologic Model Page | 2 Proactive by Design 5. Groundwater level data from wells installed near the Existing Quarry show little impact of quarry dewatering on the groundwater elevations. A residential well located about 300 feet west of the Martin Pit shows water levels 150 feet higher than the quarry floor, indicating very little drawdown in the aquifer and a very limited cone of depression to the west. Similarly, groundwater level data from a monitoring well installed about 600 feet north of the East Pit shows groundwater to be at least 140 feet higher than in the East Pit water level as of September 2023, indicating very little drawdown in the aquifer and a very limited cone of depression to the north. The favorable geologic structure (bedrock dip and faulting) that minimizes the groundwater drawdowns west and east of the Quarry Area is evidenced by the flowing springs and streams, ponds, and productive water supply wells located east and west of the quarries. 6. Mining in the Proposed Quarry will also lower the groundwater level in the pit to about 300 feet below the surrounding ground surface, like at the Martin Pit, but similarly is not expected to impact nearby springs, streams, ponds, and potable water supply wells due to the same geologic settings. 7. History has demonstrated that quarrying in the area has not negatively affected the surface water and groundwater resources and will provide for a long-term reliable source of potable water in addition to providing the needed construction aggregate for the rapidly growing County. 8. The two major bedrock types in the area, mapped as carbonate (limestone) and shale (which includes limestone and sandstone), provide the area with a reliable source of domestic potable water that has not been negatively affected by the previous or existing, quarrying. 9. Although a relatively widespread phenomenon in the carbonate bedrock of the Shenandoah Valley, sinkhole formation in the Frederick County area is of relatively minor occurrence. Almost 70 years of mining have not exacerbated sinkhole formation and because of the similar geologic conditions with the Existing Quarry, the risk of enhanced sinkhole formation with the Proposed Quarry is expected to similarly be low. 10. GZA’s review of recent surface water and well complaints alleging impacts from quarrying indicate that, with the exception of a 14-foot deep almost 200-year-old hand dug well approximately 200 feet from the Existing Quarry, quarry dewatering is not the cause of the alleged complaints. 11. GZA reviewed Carmeuse’s Rezoning Proffer Statement submitted July 2023, and in particular Section 8 “Ground Water” which offers repairs to damage caused by mining to water supply wells on Surrounding Property, defined to be within 1,500 feet of the Proposed Quarry property. Based on the size of the Proposed Quarry property, the well protection will extend up to 2,500 feet west, up to 5,000 feet east, up to 3,500 feet north, and up to 5,500 feet south of the proposed extraction area (the quarry) within the Proposed Quarry Property. Based on our understanding of the hydrogeologic model as described in this Report, Carmeuse’s commitment to the County and the surrounding community is greater than the potential impact and industry standard of care for this geologic setting and the proposed scale of operation. PURPOSE We understand that Frederick County representatives requested that Carmeuse address potential water quantity and quality impacts to potable water supply wells in response to County representatives and citizen questions raised during public discussions on the Proposed Quarry. GZA has extensive experience evaluating surface water and groundwater at quarries similar to Carmeuse in Virginia, nearby states and elsewhere across the United States. We understand the potential impact that mining can have, as well as the depth of federal, state, and local rules, regulations, guidance, and best management practices that mining operations need to follow. As professionals, GZA serves as an independent third party that relies solely upon verifiable, vetted, technical facts. 179 September 25, 2023 File No. 20.0158489.00 Site Conceptual Hydrogeologic Model Page | 3 Proactive by Design INTRODUCTION GZA developed the conceptual hydrogeologic model for Carmeuse and other stakeholders to describe the physical conditions and characteristics of the geology and the surface water-groundwater interactions as they relate to natural conditions, and those that may be associated with past, present, and proposed limestone bedrock mining in the area. This Report is intended to answer questions and concerns that the County and other stakeholders may have pertaining to potable water supply wells, springs, and streams in the area. Note that our conceptual hydrogeological model is subject to the Limitations provided in Attachment 1. GZA is a multidisciplinary engineering, environmental and geologic consulting firm founded in 1964. GZA now has about 700 staff in 32 offices across the US. The GZA staff identified above are licensed professional geologists in multiple states, including Virginia, have combined 100 years of hydrogeologic experience and are providing technical opinions as they pertain to the hydrogeology of the region and Quarry Area as experts in mining properties, practices, and operations; and the physical characteristics and interactions of mining on soil, bedrock, surface water, groundwater and earth science by knowledge, skill, experience, training, and education. GZA was requested to review the Existing Quarry and Proposed Quarry operations and independently opine on the degree and extent of potential impacts quarrying has had or may have on the regional and local hydrogeology that includes springs, ponds, streams and groundwater. GZA geologists familiarized themselves with the hydrogeologic conditions in the Existing Quarry and Proposed Quarry vicinity, historical mining and groundwater use, and performed a reconnaissance of the area, quarries, springs, streams, and ponds. GZA also reviewed and considered water supply well and surface water complaints that were recently raised at public meetings and addressed those at the end of this Report. On September 20, 2023, Mr. Krumenacher visited and observed the Existing Quarry (East Pit, Martin Pit, Pit #1, Pit #2, and Pit #3); the Proposed Quarry property; Whetzel spring location; and nearby streams (Turkey Run, Clear Brook Run, and Opequon Creek. During the September 20, 2023 visit, Mr. Krumenacher had no restrictions on access to the pertinent areas or limitations on time and had opportunity to observe areas of interest. Information obtained from the site visit included observations that were consistent with GZA’s independent research and review and the findings and conclusions presented in this Report.

CONCEPTUAL HYDROGEOLOGIC MODEL The depth of information reviewed and researched by GZA as summarized above was relied on to some extent and informed on the preparation of this Report. As presented below, the above sources were utilized to develop an understanding of the hydrogeologic characteristics of the area and present facts on the history of quarrying in the area; ground surface topography; surface water features such as springs, ponds, and streams; the soil types; the bedrock structure and characteristics of the local limestone and shale; groundwater occurrence and movement; past, current and proposed quarry dewatering; area groundwater use; and review of recent complaints pertaining to surface water and water supply wells. QUARRY HISTORY 1. A 1986 Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy report (Sweet, 1986)2 states that “W. S. Frey Company, Inc., located about 7 miles north of Winchester in Frederick County, just east of Clear Brook, has been in operation at this site since 1961.” 2. An October 22, 2022 story in the Winchester Star (Carmeuse reveals future plans for its Clear Brook location) states that quarrying in the area was occurring in the 1950s, which may have intended to state 1960s. The report indicates that a tunnel was constructed beneath Brucetown Road that Carmeuse reports was in the 1960s, to allow passage between the initial two mine pits, Pit #1 and Pit #2, shown on Figure 1. 3. Local quarrying also occurred in the early 1960s, approximately 1 mile southwest of the Carmeuse property, on land now owned by the Frederick County Sanitation Authority, now Frederick Water, where depicted on Figure 1. 4. Sweet, 1986 reported at least 5 other limestone mining locations in Frederick, Shenandoah and Rockingham counties, indicating a long history of limestone mining in the area. 5. USGS Quadrangle maps show that Pit #1, Pit #2, and a portion of the processing plant area on the Carmeuse property were active in 1967, Pit #3 was active in 1979, and the East Pit was active in 1987. These pits and plant area are shown on Figure 1. 2 1986, November, Sweet, Palmer C., Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy, Virginia M inerals, Vol 32, No. 4, Virginia’s Lime Industry. 182 September 25, 2023 File No. 20.0158489.00 Site Conceptual Hydrogeologic Model Page | 6 Proactive by Design 6. Carmeuse reported that the Martin Pit (Figure 1) commenced development in 2018 as confirmed by aerial photographs reviewed on Google Earth and the Frederick County GIS Planning Access Terminal. 7. The Martin Pit is the only Carmeuse pit that is actively being mined at the time of this Report. Each of the other former quarries identified above are flooded or being flooded with water. 8. Frederick Water utilizes Pit #1 and Pit #2 as a potable water supply sources, pumping about 2 million gallons per day (MGPD) and recharges the pits using two water supply wells (OW-1-31E at 0.5 MGPD and Whetzel Well 1 MGPD) installed in 2000 about 500 and 1,300 feet from Pit #2, respectively. The Frederick Water supply well locations are shown on Figure 1. TOPOGRAPHY AND SURFACE WATER 9. The Existing Quarry and Proposed Quarry are located in the Shenandoah Valley region of the Valley and Ridge Physiographic province characterized by a repeating series of ridges (mountains) separated by valleys formed from lateral forces that folded the bedrock strata. 10. The nearest ridges are North Mountain located about 5 miles west and Blue Ridge about 15 miles east of the Existing Quarry and Proposed Quarry, as shown on Figure 2. 11. The ground surface generally slopes east from elevations greater than 1,000 feet on the ridges to an elevation of about 465 feet at Opequon Creek about 2.5 miles east of the Quarry Area. 12. The Existing Quarry and Proposed Quarry properties are at approximate elevation 620 feet, midway between the western ridges and the valley bottom at Opequon Creek. 13. In the Quarry Area, surface water flows east to Opequon Creek in a relatively closely spaced series of streams, from less than ½-mile to 1 mile apart, many of which emanate from springs located from less than 1 to 2 miles west of the Quarry Area. The springs and streams are shown on Figure 3. 14. The springs near the Quarry Area are generally at ground surface elevation of 600 to 700 feet, providing an indication of the groundwater elevation at those locations. 15. The streams near the Quarry Area are mapped as intermittent and/or perennial. Where perennial, which also provides an indication of groundwater elevation, the approximate elevations range from 600 to 700 feet. 16. The streams and several of the springs are mapped on the USGS Quadrangle maps dating back to 1899 and are shown on maps prepared in each decade since. 17. The springs and streams have been draining surface water and groundwater since the ridges and valley formed and local development, including quarrying, has not materially altered the flow patterns. 18. During mining of each of the quarries in the area identified above and on Figure 1, groundwater and surface water that accumulated in the quarry was temporarily pumped, as is ongoing in the Martin Pit, but after mining and pumping stopped, the quarries filled with water. 19. The water elevation in the filled quarries is indicative of the groundwater elevation at those locations, similar to the springs, groundwater fed ponds, and perennial streams in the area. GEOLOGY Soil 20. The soil in the area mapped by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) was formed from the weathering of the underlying bedrock. 183 September 25, 2023 File No. 20.0158489.00 Site Conceptual Hydrogeologic Model Page | 7 Proactive by Design 21. At and east of the Existing Quarry, the soil is primarily mapped as channery loam 18 to 33 inches thick over bedrock. Channery denotes the soil contains more than 15% by volume flat fragments of bedrock as long as 6 inches in dimension. 22. West of the Existing Quarry and at the Proposed Quarry, where the underlying bedrock is limestone, the soil is comprised of greater than 80 to 90 inches of clay, the maximum depth of investigation by the NRCS. 23. East of the Proposed Quarry, the soil is also primarily mapped as channery loam 18 to 33 inches thick over bedrock (shale). 24. The soil formed as the product of chemical and mechanical weathering of the underlying bedrock and reflects the physical characteristics of the rock from which it was formed. Thus, the soil that formed from the weathering of limestone and shale is fine-grained clay and silt. 25. Because the bedrock east of the Quarry Area also contains sandstone and conglomerate, the soil may also contain sand and gravel-sized particles. Bedrock 26. The bedrock in the Shenandoah Valley is geologically divided into two primarily rock types, carbonate (limestone) at and west of the Quarry Area and the Martinsburg Formation, rock regionally referred to as shale with layers of limestone and graywacke (clayey sandstone with a range of grain sizes) east of the Quarry Area. 27. The carbonate bedrock in the area includes the New Market Limestone, the target rock quarried by Carmeuse, and the overlying Edinburg Limestone and underlying Rockdale Run Formation. 28. The bedrock overlying the Edinburg Limestone is the Martinsburg Formation, commonly referred to as a shale which also includes limestone and sandstone. 29. The Existing Quarry and the Proposed Quarry are located along the eastern margin of the carbonate bedrock area where limestone is the surficial rock. The limestone is present from the quarry properties to at least 1 to 2 miles west beyond the nearest ridges described above. 30. Bedrock geologic maps with locations of the prior, existing, and the Proposed Quarry highlighted are included as Attachments 2 and 3. 31. The bedrock in the region is folded, forming the valley and ridge topography described above and as shown in the cross-sections included on the geologic maps. 32. In the region that includes the Quarry Area the bedrock dips generally east at about 45 degrees. 33. Similarly, in the area of Opequon Creek and areas east, the bedrock dips generally west at about 45 degrees. 34. The east and west dipping bedrock form a syncline (Massanutten Synclinorium), a linear trough, with an axis located about halfway between the quarry areas and Opequon Creek, as shown on the geologic maps. 35. The limestone that is mined at the Existing Quarry and proposed to be mined at the Proposed Quarry (the New Market Limestone) is less than 250 feet thick, but due to the relatively steep dip, may be exposed at the ground surface in relatively thin bands 250 to 500 feet wide; which is why the limestone quarries are generally long and narrow but can be deeper than 250 feet. 36. The limestone is overlain by the Martinsburg Formation, generally referred to as shale. In the Quarry Area, the shale is absent or thin, but from the eastern margins of the quarry areas to Opequon Creek, the shale is shown on the geologic map cross-sections to be more than 3,000 feet thick. 184 September 25, 2023 File No. 20.0158489.00 Site Conceptual Hydrogeologic Model Page | 8 Proactive by Design HYDROGEOLOGY The groundwater system in the region is principally in the underlying bedrock. The overlying soil is thin and fine-grained, so is not anticipated to provide suitable water storage for domestic use. Limestone 37. The limestone is dense and fine-grained and saturated where present below the groundwater table surface. 38. Based on the elevation of springs and perennial streams near the quarries, and the soil thickness, the groundwater elevation is generally at or near the top of bedrock. 39. The five springs located in the Quarry Area (Hot Run spring head water, Washington, Turkey Run head water, Whetzel, and Branson) range in elevation from 590 feet (Whetzel) to 650 feet (Washington). The spring and stream locations are shown on Figure 3. 40. A small unmapped spring was also reportedly present on the southern end of the Martin Pit but that areas was recently excavated in accordance with state permits. 41. The USGS reported that many springs in the Shenandoah Valley “are associated with faults, suggesting that faults may serve as important directional controls on ground-water flow.” 42. Although saturated, the limestone’s dense, fine-grained matrix will store and transmit very little groundwater and is similar in character to dense concrete. 43. Photographs included in Attachment 6 taken in Pit #1 and the Martin Pit show the typical character of the limestone bedding and jointing and dry nature of the quarry walls. 44. The groundwater storage and transmission (flow) in the limestone is in the joints derived from bedding planes (spaces between rock layers) and fractures that formed in response to the forces that caused the bedrock layers to fold. A schematic showing the conceptual groundwater flow in fractured carbonate bedrock is provided in Attachment 4. 45. The joints are ubiquitous throughout the limestone and trend in parallel and perpendicular directions relative to each other and generally transmit water where present below the groundwater table. 46. In some areas when the bedrock is resistant to folding, the forces cause the rock to break along a fault plane moving rock upward or downward sometimes distances of hundreds of feet relative to the other side of the fault plane. The faults are not always a single, thin plane, but a series of parallel faults and fractures (fault zone) over hundreds of feet that can emanate for long distances (miles). Major faults are commonly included on the USGS geologic maps. A fault located between the Martin Pit and the East Pit is evident on the geologic map and cross- section in Attachment 3. 47. Joints in limestone bedrock may maintain an aperture (separation) that can provide a path for groundwater to be transmitted vertically downward within the bedrock and horizontally from higher to lower elevations where it discharges to surface water. 48. Other joints may be characterized by or be partially filled with broken rock that can be subject to dissolution by mildly acidic precipitation and recharge water and erosion by flowing water. 49. These fractures provide the groundwater migration pathways from recharge, water that infiltrates the ground, and enable the groundwater to flow from higher elevations to lower elevations discharging into the area streams (Hot Run, Clearbrook Run, Turkey Run, Coyle Run, Duncan Run, and others). Streams are highlighted on Figure 3. 185 September 25, 2023 File No. 20.0158489.00 Site Conceptual Hydrogeologic Model Page | 9 Proactive by Design 50. Each of those streams transmit precipitation runoff and groundwater and ultimately discharge into Opequon Creek. 51. Water supply wells installed in the limestone rely upon the bedrock joints to transmit water to the well and, where joints are infrequent, need to rely on the open well borehole to store water due to the low rate of groundwater recharge to the well. 52. Based on a review of the Frederick Water distribution map and aerial photographs, there appear to be nine residential or commercial buildings that may have limestone wells in the vicinity (within 1 mile) west of the Existing Quarry, assuming other area buildings within the areas of the municipal water distribution systems are connected to municipal water, which may not be the case. Limestone is only present north, south, and west of the Existing Quarry. 53. Outside of the Frederick Water and Berkeley County, West Virginia distribution systems, aerial photograph review identified approximately 10 residences ¾- to 1 mile west of the Proposed Quarry where limestone is mapped. 54. The Frederick Water distribution area and location of residences and commercial businesses within a 1-mile radius of the East Pit are shown on Figure 4. 55. The Frederick Water and Berkeley County distribution areas and location of residences and commercial businesses within a 1-mile radius of the Proposed Pit are shown on Figure 5. 56. Based on GZA’s discussion with a local water well driller, water supply wells that are installed in the limestone that is generally present north, south, or west of the Quarry Area are completed to depths of 200 to 500 feet. 57. Streams generally form in areas of weak rock caused by joints and faults, characteristics that can extend to great depths. 58. Karst features formed by the dissolution of carbonate (limestone) bedrock may result in sinkhole formation. 59. Sinkhole occurrence is mapped by Virginia Department of Energy, Geology Mineral Resources with data plotted on a GIS-based website: https://energy.virginia.gov/webmaps/GeologyMineralResources/. 60. Sinkholes are present throughout the band of carbonate bedrock present in the Shenandoah Valley, but occur at a relatively low density as compared to the remainder of the valley in Frederick County, as shown on the figures in Attachment 5. 61. The low density of sinkhole formation in the Quarry Area during more than 70 years of mining indicates that there is a low risk of future sinkhole development with the Proposed Quarry that will be shallower with less dewatering than the Existing Quarry. 62. One relatively active sinkhole is reportedly present in the vicinity of Turkey Run north of the Proposed Quar ry. Anecdotal evidence from the local landowner/farmer is that the sinkhole has been forming there for decades and is filled with rock and soil when it opens. Shale 63. The bedrock present east of the Quarry Area to Opequon Creek is the Martinsburg Formation. See Geologic Maps in Attachments 2 and 3. 64. The Martinsburg is present along an approximately 3-mile wide, north-south valley that extends through the Shenandoah Valley. 65. The Martinsburg is reported by the USGS (online spatial data) to be predominantly shale with scattered limestone and sandstone interbeds, particularly in the lower section. 186 September 25, 2023 File No. 20.0158489.00 Site Conceptual Hydrogeologic Model Page | 10 Proactive by Design 66. Rader and Biggs, 1976,3 reported that the Martinsburg contains three general rock types; a lower section of shale and limestone, a middle flysch sequence (thin beds of shale or marl with sandstone or conglomerate), and an upper sandstone. 67. Harlow et al.,4 reported that the Martinsburg consists of interbedded shale and lesser graywacke siltstone and graywacke sandstone and define the basal unit as the Stickley Run Member comprised of platy limestone and calcareous shale. 68. Images of the three Martinsburg rock types taken from Google Earth Street View are provided in Attachment 6. 69. The term shale is used to denote rock comprised of fine-grained sediment smaller than sand in the range of silt to clay (finest). Shale, also commonly referred to as mudstone, ranges from siltstone to claystone, none of which may be comprised purely of silt or clay, but a gradational mixture, and may include a broad percentage of sand. 70. Near the quarries, the lower shale and limestone are likely present, which are described further as argillaceous (shaley) limestone and calcareous (limey) shale.5 See images of lower Martinsburg shale in Attachment 6. 71. Further east, halfway to Opequon Creek and toward the axis of the syncline (Massanutten Synclinorium), the flysch deposits and sandstone may be present. See images of the middle flysch and upper sandstone of the Martinsburg in Attachment 6. 72. Harlow et al., reported that the top of the Martinsburg (the sandstone) is not present in Frederick County. 73. The Martinsburg was studied in adjacent Shenandoah County (Hinkle and Sterrett, 1977)6 where it is present in the same physiographic and geologic setting as in Frederick County. 74. Hinkle and Sterrett reported that the Martinsburg is the best groundwater-producing formation in the County, as good as the limestone, and also reported good to excellent well yields when overlain by alluvial deposits (in the area of streams). 75. The Martinsburg bedrock has several physical features that apparently makes it a reliable groundwater source. The rock is in a folded, fractured, and faulted trough structure. The Martinsburg also contains limestone and calcareous shale layers that can be subject to dissolution resulting in groundwater transmission pathways. The Martinsburg also contains sandstone layers and, as shown in Attachment 6, is highly jointed, which provides groundwater storage and increased bedrock permeability. 76. Streams generally form in areas of weak rock caused by fractures and faults, characteristics that extend to great depths vertically. 77. The USGS geologic map in Attachment 3 includes an audiomagnetotellurics apparent electrical resistivity section along a portion of the cross-section that depicts the subsurface near the Existing Quarry. 78. Apparent electrical resistivity surveys in bedrock are used to identify and distinguish, on a broad scale, between competent bedrock (high apparent resistivity) and permeable bedrock (low apparent resistivity) that are jointed and fractured. 3 Rader, Eugene K., and Biggs, Thomas H., 1976, Geology of the Strasburg and Toms Brook Quadrangles, Virginia: Virginia Divisio n of Mineral Resources, Report of Investigations 45. 4 Harlow, Jr., George E., Orndorff, Randall C., Nelms, David L., Weary, David J. and Moberg Roger M., 2005, U.S. Geological Survey, Hydrogeology and Ground-Water Availability in the Carbonate Aquifer System of Frederick County, Virginia, Scientific Investigations Report 2005-5161. 5 Fichter, Lynn S., and Diecchio, Richard J., 1986, The Taconic Sequence in the Northern Shenandoah Valley, Virginia, Geological Society of America Centennial Field Guide—Southeastern Section. 6 Hinkle, Kenneth R., and Sterrett, R. McChesney, July 1977, Groundwater of Shenandoah County, Virginia, Valley Regional Office Virginia State Water Control Board Bureau of Water Control Management, Planning Bulletin 306. 187 September 25, 2023 File No. 20.0158489.00 Site Conceptual Hydrogeologic Model Page | 11 Proactive by Design 79. The apparent electrical resistivity survey shows that the central portion of the area mapped with the Martinsburg, centered on the axis of the Massanutten Synclinorium, exhibits a low apparent electrical resistivity indicative of saturated permeable bedrock to great depths. 80. Based on GZA’s conversation with a local water well driller, water supply wells are installed in the shale at depths of 200 to 600 feet and typically produce 5 to 10 gallons per minute (gpm) and can produce up to 20 gpm. 81. Hinkle and Sterrett reported that the water quality in the shale is similar to that in the limestone, although it is not as hard and contains higher than average iron and manganese concentrations that are greater than state and federal drinking water standards. 82. Water quality in shale commonly contains minerals that may impart odor, color, or sediment in the water. A local well driller told GZA that the water from the shale commonly contains high iron, sulfur, and other minerals. 83. Outside of the Frederick Water distribution system, aerial photograph review identified 54 residences or commercial buildings within a 1-mile radius of the Existing Quarry that likely have wells installed within the shale. Those wells are generally ¼- to 1 mile from the Existing Quarry. 84. Outside of the Frederick Water and Berkely County, West Virginia distribution systems, aerial photograph review identified 57 residences or commercial buildings within a 1-mile radius of the Proposed Quarry that likely have wells installed within the shale. Those wells are generally ½- to 1 mile from the Proposed Quarry. 85. The Frederick Water and Berkely County, West Virginia water distribution area and location of residences and commercial businesses within a 1-mile radius of the Proposed Quarry are shown on Figure 5. 86. Commonly, limestone and shale would be considered two hydrostratigraphic units, the limestone an aquifer and the shale a confining layer or aquitard. 87. Based on the physical characteristics of the Martinsburg described above and evident in photographs contained in Attachment 6, such as low- and high-angle joints, faults, and granular layers (flysch and sandstone), it is reasonable to consider the limestone and shale in the Quarry Area to be one hydrostratigraphic unit, or one aquifer. 88. Harlow et al., focuses on the carbonate aquifer that overlies the Martinsburg, and do not describe the Martinsburg as a distinctly separate aquifer or as an aquitard. 89. Although one hydrostratigraphic unit, the Martinsburg likely contains localized confining layers where joints are not as prevalent; however, those areas would be localized and not have a major influence on the overall transmission of groundwater in the region. Examples of that condition are evident in photographs of the Martinsburg lower unit in Attachment 6. HISTORICAL AND CURRENT QUARRY DEWATERING 90. Quarry dewatering has been ongoing in the Quarry Area since at least the 1960s. 91. The dewatering rate at each of the quarries is not known and is anticipated to be a function of the quarry size and depth. 92. Quarry pumping data provided by Carmeuse for the East Pit ranged from about 0.6 to 1.4 MGPD (400 to 1,000 gallons per minutes [gpm]) and averaged about 1.0 MGPD (700 gpm). The broad range in pumping data is due in part to variations in flow estimating that are based on pump curves, pumping elevations and piping lengths and drought conditions. 188 September 25, 2023 File No. 20.0158489.00 Site Conceptual Hydrogeologic Model Page | 12 Proactive by Design 93. The estimated surface water drainage area into the East Pit is about 135 acres. Based on the average annual precipitation of 42 inches per year, the average annual precipitation contribution to the annual pumping from the East Pit was about 0.4 MGPD, (300 gpm), or about 30% to 70% of the total water pumped from the quarry. 94. The estimated groundwater pumped from the East Pit ranged from 0.2 to 1.0 MGPD (150 to 700 gpm), in the range of pumping rates reported by Frederick Water from their two production wells at the Anderson Treatment Plant. 95. Quarry pumping data provided by Carmeuse for the Martin Pit for 2018 through 2023 ranged from about 0.6 to 0.7 MGPD (450 to 500 gpm). 96. The estimated surface water drainage area into the Martin Pit is about 60 acres. Based on the average annual precipitation of 42 inches per year, the average annual precipitation contribution to the annual pumping from the Martin Pit was about 0.2 MGPD (130 gpm), or about 30% of the total water pumped from the quarry. 97. The estimated groundwater pumped from the Martin Pit ranged from 0.4 to 0.5 MGPD (300 to 350 gpm), less or equivalent to the lower capacity pumping well utilized by Frederick Water at the Anderson Treatment Plant. 98. Little to no groundwater was observed by GZA entering the walls of Pit #1, Pit #2, Pit #3, the East Pit and Martin Pit, which is consistent with the low pumping rates reported by Carmeuse (see photographs in Attachment 6). 99. In GZA’s experience, the estimated groundwater withdrawal rates less than 1,000 gpm are very low for a carbonate bedrock quarry where rates as high as 20 to 30 MGPD or 15,000 to 20,000 gpm may occur. 100. Data available to predict the rate of quarry filling is from the East Pit, where groundwater pumping ended in late 2021, and water elevations measured by Carmeuse indicate the East Pit had filled with more than 230 feet of water by September 7, 2023; an average rate of about 750,000 gallons per day. 101. The observed average rate of East Pit filling with precipitation and groundwater is consistent with the estimated pumping rates from the quarries. 102. The geology of the various quarries is similar, so it is reasonable to believe that the historical dewatering rates since the early 1960s were consistent with the current dewatering rates at the Existing Quarry. 103. Quarries that were dewatered and then reflooded naturally with groundwater include the now County-owned quarry about 1 mile southwest of Carmeuse, Pit #1, Pit #2, Pit #3, and the East Pit. In each quarry, except the East Pit, which is still reflooding, the groundwater level returned to pre-dewatering elevations. 104. The water levels in the local springs, streams, and ponds provide the most relevant and reliable evidence of the impact of local quarry dewatering on the groundwater table surface. 105. The position of the Quarry Area and high density of springs, streams, and ponds in the folded regional bedrock trough fed by groundwater recharge from nearby ridges and thin soil over jointed and faulted generally permeable bedrock make the variety of permanent water features the surface expression of groundwater. 106. During the history of quarry dewatering, it is reasonable to believe, anecdotally (due to lack of documentation or reports to the contrary which would be expected), and based on a review of aerial photographs, that the local springs kept flowing; these include the following: a. Hot Run spring headwater located approximately 2,600 feet from the East Pit and 2,000 feet from the Martin Pit; b. Washington Spring located approximately 4,600 feet from the East Pit and 3,900 feet from the Martin Pit; c. Slate Run spring headwater located approximately 1,500 feet from Pit #1 and 1,300 feet from Pit #2; 189 September 25, 2023 File No. 20.0158489.00 Site Conceptual Hydrogeologic Model Page | 13 Proactive by Design d. Whetzel Spring, located approximately 500 feet from Pit #3 and 1,400 feet from Pit #2; and e. Turkey Run spring headwaters located approximately 500 feet from Pit #3. 107. During the history of quarry dewatering, based on the same premise as with the springs that the streams kept flowing; these included the following: a. Hot Run located approximately 300 feet from the East Pit; b. Clearbrook Run located approximately 300 feet from the Martin Pit and East Pit before dewatering water is added to it near the East Pit; c. Slate Run located approximately 1,500 from Pit #1 and 1,300 feet from Pit #2; and d. Turkey Run located approximately 3,000 feet from Pit #3. 108. During the history of quarry dewatering, based on the same premise as with the springs, the nearby ponds retained their water; these include the following: a. The pond fed by Hot Run spring located approximately 750 feet from the East Pit and 900 feet from the Martin Pit; b. Two unnamed ponds along Hot Run located approximately 600 and 900 feet south of the East Pit, respectively; c. Clearbrook Park pond located approximately 1,400 feet from Pit #1, 1,300 feet from the East Pit, and 500 feet from the Martin Pit; and d. At least six other small ponds (0.1 to 2 acres in size) present since at least the early 1960s, based on their presence on 1966 USGS Quadrangle maps, that are within 1 mile east of the East Pit, Pit #1, and Pit #2. 109. During dewatering, historically, there were no known problems with water supply wells, at least none are documented that can be referenced. Discussion with a local water well driller confirmed, anecdotally, that there is no history of well problems in the Quarry Area. 110. A previous hydrogeologic evaluation of the quarries in the Clear Brook area by Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), cited by Harlow et al., estimated a reliable yield of 2.17 MGPD and identified "no adverse effects from the withdrawal on the aquifer or other ground-water users in the area.”7 111. The bedrock type, elevation, structure, and dewatering rate estimated by SAIC are similar to the Existing Quarry with no adverse effects identified. 112. Harlow et al. reported that a groundwater flow model prepared by Burbey (2003) indicated that groundwater drawdowns associated with quarry dewatering occurs primarily “in the immediate vicinity of the quarries, and are asymmetric, extending southward and slightly northward (along the strike of the geologic units) however, little water-level decline extends west of the quarries and may indicate a hydrologic boundary or decreased permeability in this direction.”8 The Stephens City quarries are also in the New Market Limestone in a similar structural condition with steep dips and faulting as the Existing Quarry and Proposed Quarry. 113. The favorable geology that minimizes the groundwater drawdowns west and east of the Quarry Area is evidenced by the flowing springs and streams, ponds, and productive water supply wells located east and west of the quarries. 7 Harlow, Jr., George E., Orndorff, Randall C., Nelms, David L., Weary, David J. and Moberg Roger M., 2005, Hydrogeology and Ground-Water Availability in the Carbonate Aquifer System of Frederick County, Virginia, Scientific Investigations Report 2005-5161. 8 Ibid. 190 September 25, 2023 File No. 20.0158489.00 Site Conceptual Hydrogeologic Model Page | 14 Proactive by Design 114. Groundwater level data provided by Carmeuse for wells installed near the Existing Quarry show little impact of quarry dewatering on the groundwater elevations. A residential well located about 300 feet west of the Martin Pit shows water levels 150 feet higher than the quarry floor, indicating very little drawdown in the aquifer and a very limited cone of depression to the west. 115. Similarly, groundwater level data from a monitoring well installed about 600 feet north of the East Pit shows groundwater to be at least 140 feet higher than in the East Pit water level as of September 2023, indicating very little drawdown in the aquifer and a very limited cone of depression to the north. 116. In the Proposed Quarry area, the same geologic setting will minimize groundwater drawdown impact to Turkey Run, Coyle Run, Duncan Run, the nearby springs and ponds, and nearby water supply wells. 117. Recent public discussions about quarry expansion resulted in several public and a couple of private comments about water supply well and surface water quantity and quality concerns that citizens have attributed to the Existing Quarry. As an apparent recent phenomenon, these comments do not seem to represent a history of problems with operations of area quarries as anecdotally stated by the local water well driller based on his experience in the area. Each comment is addressed later in this Report. PROPOSED QUARRY DEWATERING 118. The lack of documented impacts of dewatering of at least six quarries since at least the early 1960s on nearby springs, streams, ponds, and water supply wells provides the most reliable predictions for expectations of potential impacts from the Proposed Quarry. 119. The Proposed Quarry will extract from the same bedrock unit as the other six quarries and, specifically, from the same geologic position relative to a major fault as Pit #3, mined to elevation 500 feet and planned to be mined to elevation 380 feet, and the Martin Pit, planned to be mined to elevation 320 feet. 120. Pit #1, Pit #2, and the East Pit were mined from the opposite downward side of the fault, resulting in the formation being deeper, at a lower elevation. The East Pit was mined to a bottom elevation of 160 feet. 121. Because of the geologic position relative to the fault, the bottom elevation of the Proposed Quarry will be similar to that of the Martin Pit and extend to elevation 300 feet, 140 feet higher elevation than the dewatering that occurred for many years in the East Pit. 122. Although dewatering is ongoing at the Martin Pit, the East Pit has filled with water from the base elevation of 160 feet, to elevation 390 feet as of September 7, 2023. 123. The much higher Proposed Quarry bottom elevation means there will be an even lower potential for impact to nearby surface water or groundwater resources compared to the area of the much deeper East Pit where there has been no demonstrated negative impact. AREA POTABLE WATER SUPPLY WELLS 124. GZA identified 54 possible potable water supply wells based on the presence of residential and commercial buildings observed on aerial photographs ¼- to 1 mile east of the East Pit and nine possible wells west of the East Pit. 125. The areas north, south, and west of the East Pit are within the Frederick Water distribution and are assumed to be connected to the Frederick Water distribution or at least have the option to connect. 126. The nine possible wells located west of the Existing Quarry are presumed to be installed in limestone and the 54 possible well locations identified east of the Existing Quarry are presumed to be installed in the shale/Martinsburg Formation. 191 September 25, 2023 File No. 20.0158489.00 Site Conceptual Hydrogeologic Model Page | 15 Proactive by Design 127. During the history of Existing Quarry operations, complaints about water supply wells were made only recently (May to August 2023) and are discussed in the section below. 128. GZA identified 72 possible potable water supply wells based the presence of residential and commercial buildings observed on aerial photographs within 1 mile of the Proposed Quarry. 129. The areas north, south, and partially west of the Proposed Quarry are within the Frederick Water or Berkely County, West Virginia distribution and are assumed to be connected to the Frederick Water distribution or at least have the option to connect. 130. Of the 72 well locations identified, 15 are believed to be installed in the limestone ¾- to 1 mile west of the Proposed Quarry and 57 are believed to be installed in the shale primarily ½- to 1 mile east of the Proposed Quarry; three of the 57 are located ¼- to 1 miles northeast of the Proposed Quarry. 131. Three of the four recent complaints of grit, sediment, or film on toilet water were from residents located about 1¼ miles southeast of the Proposed Quarry and more than 1½ to 1¾ miles from the Existing Quarry. 132. More than 80% of the presumed shale wells referenced above east of the Proposed Quarry are also located within 1 mile of the Frederick Water Anderson water treatment plant property where they are pumping 2 MGPD from Pit #2 and wells and 1.5 MGPD from wells (OW-1-31E at 0.5 MGPD and Whetzel Well 1 MGPD) into Pit #2. REVIEW OF RECENT SURFACE WATER AND WATER SUPPLY WELL COMPLAINTS GZA reviewed two surface water and seven water supply well complaints received by Carmeuse in 2023, since the public meeting to discuss the Proposed Quarry. If there were additional historical water -related complaints, the current Carmeuse management is not aware of them. The surface water complaints, each paraphrased from public testimony, pertained to the following: • Winchester (City) resident alleged that Carmeuse’s operations have ruined the Redbud Run that comes out of the limestone and by removing the limestone they are removing the water’s natural filtration into that creek. • Jeremiah Lane resident alleged that there was no water in a pond, no streams anymore, no natural spring. Redbud Run 1. Redbud Run is located approximately 3 miles southwest of the southern extent of the East Pit and Martin Pit and flows through/adjacent to two industrial parks. 2. In addition to Hot Run located 300 feet from the Martin Pit and East Pit, Hiatt Run, Lick Run , and several smaller associated tributaries are located between the Existing Quarry and Redbud Run. 3. Groundwater in the vicinity of the Existing Quarry does not discharge to Redbud Run, but flows to the east. 4. This complaint was also filed with Virginia Energy and according to their report on September 7, 2023, “The complainant felt her worries were somewhat exaggerated and would like to withdraw this complaint.” 5. Virginia Energy concluded, “The complainant is approximately 3.9 miles from the mine permit. It is unlikely that mining activity affects Redbud Run or any other streams or ponds in that area.” 6. As documented above, the historical and Existing Quarry have not affected the local springs, streams, and ponds as close as 300 feet from the Quarry Areas; therefore, Redbud Run would not be affected. 192 September 25, 2023 File No. 20.0158489.00 Site Conceptual Hydrogeologic Model Page | 16 Proactive by Design Jeremiah Lane 1. The pond in question is located approximately 1 mile north of the Martin Pit and East Pit. 2. The pond was apparently excavated in 2006-2007, over approximately 2.8 acres. Aerial photographs indicate that in August 2007, the pond was dry. 3. In October 2010, ponded water was evident in the east and west ends of the excavation. 4. Aerial photographs between 2010 and 2023, show wet and dry periods with the ponded water on the western areas not always present. 5. A 2019 aerial photograph on the Frederick County Planning Access Terminal shows the entire 2.8-acre pond area to be flooded. 6. The pond was excavated in an area mapped with upland Oaklet Series soil, at least 90 inches (7.5 feet) of firm clay. 7. The area excavated was apparently a broad topographic swale, but was not mapped by the USGS as a stream or spring. 8. The nearest mapped streams are Clearbrook Run about ½-mile south and Turkey Run about ½-mile north. 9. Based on mapped soil type and topographic position, the pond was excavated in an area that could capture and hold surface water drainage from uplands located primarily to the west, but the pond does not appear to be groundwater fed and could not be impacted by quarry dewatering. 10. There is no hydraulic connection between the alleged dry pond, stream, and spring and the Existing Quarry. The water supply well complaints, each paraphrased from contact with Carmeuse or public testimony, pertained to the following: • A 14-foot-deep, pre-Civil War, hand-dug well within ¼-mile of the Martin Pit; • A dry well greater than ½-mile east of the East Pit; and • Grit in a well within ½-mile east of the East Pit; • Three complaints of grit, sediment, or film on toilet water greater than 1 mile southeast (1) and 1½ to 1¾ miles northeast (2) of the East Pit. • Always has bad water quality in well. Hand-Dug Well 1. It is an unusual circumstance to have an operating well of that age and construction. 2. Although the well has obviously been through similar conditions as the current moderate to severe drought, its recently reported dry condition may be due to the drought. 3. The recent and historic use of the well is not known; i.e., daily, occasional, etc. 4. The well was apparently not affected by several decades of dewatering in the East Pit approximately 1,000 feet east, but may have been affected by recent dewatering in the Martin Pit, located a similar distance to the north, due to the anisotropy associated with the bedrock structure in the region, as described above, which indicates groundwater drawdowns will occur primarily north and south of the quarries. 193 September 25, 2023 File No. 20.0158489.00 Site Conceptual Hydrogeologic Model Page | 17 Proactive by Design Dry Well 1. The well is located more than ½-mile (about 2,800 feet) east of the East Pit. 2. The owner said the well was 135 feet deep. No well log or written records were provided. The well was present in 1975, when the owner bought the property, so it was at least 48 years old. 3. The owner stated that they felt a quarry blast in October 2019, and that sediment increased in their well after that date. 4. The owner stated that the well was muddy on June 9, 2021 and on June 15, 2021. A water well driller verified that the well was dry in June 2021, and a new well was drilled to 300 feet that produced water that flowed naturally under artesian conditions to above the surface on the property, confirming that groundwater levels remained high (above grade) and have not been adversely affected by quarry dewatering. 5. Based on review of aerial photographs, there are approximately 30 water supply wells located closer to the East Pit than this “dry” well. 6. The ground surface at the well location is about elevation 560 feet. 7. Clearbrook Run is located about 150 feet from the well at approximate elevation 550 feet , indicating that groundwater elevations remain high in the area of the well as also confirmed by the above-grade water level in the replacement well. 8. Clearbrook Run is mapped as perennial in the area of the dry well and should contain water at an elevation indicative of the groundwater table surface. 9. The well may have failed for a variety of reasons and it is difficult or impossible to opine on the cause without having been able to examine the well. 10. The location of the well relative to a consistent and reliable stream, the presence of at least 30 wells in the same general bedrock closer to the Existing Quarry, and the above-grade water level in the replacement well suggest that quarry dewatering is not the cause. Wells with Grit, Sediment, Film on Toilet 1. The nature and extent of the grit, sediment, and film on toilet is not known, as these were comments raised at a recent public meeting. 2. Grit and sediment are frequently observed in wells installed in fine-grained, soft, easily erodible bedrock such as shale and such a condition is not necessarily an attribute caused by local bedrock quarrying. 3. The nature of the grit, sediment, and film and well construction and water system would need to be reviewed to opine on the causes of the reported observations. 4. The location of most of these complaints, 1½ to 1¾ miles from the Existing Quarry and the presence of more than 50 wells without these reported issues in the same general bedrock closer to the Existing Quarry suggests that quarrying activities are not the likely cause. Bad Water Quality 1. This well is located about 1¾ miles from the East Pit. 2. Bad water quality is a subjective term and usually indicates the presence of dissolved metals, the odiferous sulfur compounds, and/or total dissolved solids in water from the well. 194 September 25, 2023 File No. 20.0158489.00 Site Conceptual Hydrogeologic Model Page | 18 Proactive by Design 3. Hinkle and Sterrett reported that the water quality in the shale contains higher than average iron and manganese concentrations greater than state and federal drinking water standards. The elevated dissolved iron and manganese concentrations in water from wells in the Martinsburg Formation indicate groundwater with naturally low oxidation- reduction potential, a common occurrence in shale, which results in naturally poor tasting water, water that stains porcelain and appliances, and commonly contains sulfur odor. 4. A local well driller told GZA that the water from the shale commonly contains high iron, sulfur, and other minerals. 5. The water quality at the well in question is likely a naturally occurring condition in the shale aquifer and likely not attributable to operations of the Existing Quarry. A water well complaint was also filed with Virginia Energy on July 24, 2023. According to the Virginia Energy report, “The complainant said that their residence is approximately 2½ miles from the Carmeuse operation. They have noted that the well (about 150 feet deep) has more sediments in the water since around 2015. There is also a smell to the water. A nearby spring dried up in 2022. Has concerns with dust and noise also.” Based on Virginia Energy observations, understanding of groundwater dewatering and distance to the complainant’s well, Virginia Energy concluded on September 9, 2023 that “[n]o enforcement action will be taken at this time.” RECOMMENDED GROUNDWATER LEVEL MONITORING NETWORK GZA reviewed Carmeuse’s Rezoning Proffer Statement submitted July 2023, and in particular Section 8 “Ground Water” which offers repairs to damage caused by mining to water supply wells on Surrounding Property, defined to be within 1,500 feet of the Proposed Quarry property. Based on the size of the Proposed Quarry property, the well protection will extend up to 2,500 feet west, up to 5,000 feet east, up to 3,500 feet north and up to 5,500 feet south of the Proposed Quarry property. Based on our understanding of the hydrogeologic model as described in this Report, Carmeuse’s commitment to the County and the surrounding community is greater than the potential impact and industry standard of care for this geologic setting and the proposed scale of operation. To help predict and avoid unnecessary interruption in use of potable water supply wells and gather data on local surface water resources, we recommended additional surface water and groundwater monitoring locations for consideration as summarized below for the Existing Quarry and Proposed Quarry areas. Existing Quarry During the period of mining and dewatering in the Martin Pit: 1. Continue monitoring water levels in the residential water supply well at 3144 Martinsburg Pike west of the Martin Pit and in monitoring well WI-UG-22-01 on the north side of the East Pit. 2. Continue to monitor the water level recovery and water level in the East Pit until water is either pumped into it from another source or water is pumped out of it. 3. Consider monitoring water levels in an additional residential water supply well west of the Martin Pit along Waverly Road if permission can be obtained. 4. Consider monitoring water levels in an additional residential water supply well east of the East Pit along Walters Mill Lane or Gun Club Road, Highway 666, if permission can be obtained. 5. Consider monitoring surface water levels in the Clearbrook Park Pond if permission can be obtained. 6. Consider monitoring surface water levels in the Hot Run pond southwest of the Martin Pit if permission can be obtained. 195 September 25, 2023 File No. 20.0158489.00 Site Conceptual Hydrogeologic Model Page | 19 Proactive by Design Proposed Quarry Prior to and during the period of mining and dewatering in Pit #3 and the Proposed Quarry: 1.

Recent urbanization in the northern part of the Shenandoah Valley has increased the potential for formation of sinkholes and contamination of ground water. This map, at a scale of 1:100,000, shows areas of sinkholes and the generalized bedrock geology. It is useful for determining areas of potential future sinkhole development and areas that are generally susceptible to ground-water contamination. Features plotted include sinkholes, caves, springs, and travertine deposits. The sinkholes were identified from U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle maps; some were mapped in the field, and others were derived from the mapping of Hubbard (1983), Holmes and others (1984), Holmes and Wagner (1987), and Heidel and others (1991). Sinkholes in Clarke County, Virginia, were compiled from Hubbard (1990). Since various sources were used to compile the sinkholes on the map, coverage in some counties is better than others. For instance, Hubbard (1990) performed an in-depth photointerpretation for Clarke County, Virginia, resulting in a greater number of sinkholes for this county compared to the other counties in which sinkholes were compiled from topographic maps and soil surveys. The purpose of the present map is to show all of the reported sinkholes for the map area. Hubbard (1991) reported that only 19 percent of the sinkholes identified by photointerpretation are indicated on topographic maps by closed contours and 3 percent of the sinkholes shown in soil surveys are found on topographic maps for Clarke County. Springs were plotted from USGS 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle maps and from Price and others (1936), and McColloch (1986) for West Virginia and from Wright (1990) for Virginia. Travertine and marl deposits located on the Winchester 30' X 60' quadrangle were compiled from fi eld mapping and from Giannini (1990) and Sweet and Hubbard (1990). GEOLOGIC SETTING The Shenandoah Valley was defined by Hack (1965) as "an elongate area about 140 miles long that drains into the Potomac River" and "lies between the Blue Ridge Mountains on the southeast and the North and Shenandoah Mountains on the northwest." Rocks of the Shenandoah Valley in the Winchester 30' X 60' quadrangle range from Early Cambrian to Middle Ordovician in age. The carbonate rocks are divided into an eastern and western belt separated by shale and some sandstone of the Middle and Upper Ordovician Martinsburg Formation (unit 6 on map) which defines the axis of a large regional downfold, the Massanutten synclinorium. Rocks on the east limb of the synclinorium include carbonate rocks from the Lower Cambrian Tomstown Dolomite through the Middle Ordovician Edinburg and Oranda Formations. The west limb includes rocks from the Upper Cambrian Elbrook Formation through the Middle Ordovician Edinburg and Oranda Formations. The southeast boundary of the map is defined by the contact of the Tomstown with the underlying clastic rocks of the Blue Ridge province. The northwest boundary is the North Mountain fault zone which places Cambrian and Ordovician carbonate rocks over Upper Ordovician through Devonian clastic rocks. The generalized geology shown on this map was modified from Butts and Edmundson (1966), Edmundson and Nunan (1973), Cardwell and others (1968), McDowell (1991), and Orndorff and others (1993). The lithostratigraphic units, or formations, are combined into units characterized by their dominant rock types. For instance, interbedded limestone and dolostone of the Elbrook Formation and Conococheague Limestone are combined into one lithologic unit (unit 2), whereas the predominantly limestone lithology of the Stonehenge Limestone is considered its own lithologic unit (unit 3). Combined in this manner, the lithologic control on the development of karstic features may be examined. The rocks of the Shenandoah Valley are folded and faulted, and contain numerous joints, and veins. Folds are northeast trending and are generally overturned in the eastern belt and upright in the western belt. Faults are mainly thrust faults or high angle reverse faults, however, several cross faults also occur. KARST FEATURES Karst development in the study area is expressed by sinkholes, caves, and areas of poorly developed surface drainage on carbonate rocks. The most common karst features in this part of the Shenandoah Valley are sinkholes of various sizes. These closed depressions result from subsidence due to solution of the bedrock or collapse of roof rocks into subsurface solution cavities in carbonate rocks. Hack (1965) concluded that sinkholes in the southern part of the Shenandoah Valley were controlled by character of the bedrock, thickness of the overlying residuum, geologic structure, and their relationship to streams. The results of this study show that the lithologic characteristics, fracture density of the bedrock, and the proximity of carbonate rocks to streams are the main controlling factors in sinkhole formation. Sinkholes are more abundant and increase in size near intrenched streams. This relationship occurs along Cedar Creek northwest of Middletown along the Frederick and Shenandoah County line, Virginia, and along the Shenandoah River in Clarke County, Virginia. There, in the southeast corner of the map, lithologic unit 1 (Tomstown Dolomite and Waynesboro Formation) has a relatively high concentration of sinkholes compared to the other units (table 1). In the northern Valley and Ridge province "of Virginia, Hubbard (1983) attributed the greater development of sinkholes near streams to the steepened hydraulic gradient and increased rate of ground -water flow in these areas. Enhanced sinkhole development near streams in the Winchester quadrangle can also be attributed to this cause. Many of the springs in the Shenandoah Valley of the Winchester 30' X 60' quadrangle are structurally controlled, occurring where fault planes intersect the surface. Examples of these fault controlled springs are Shawnee Spring in Winchester, Frederick County, Virginia and Horsepen Spring in Clarke County, Virginia. Travertine deposits are associated with springs and in areas where stream waters supersaturated with respect to calcite traverse rough stream beds. A combination of increased temperature and aeration as surface streams flow over rough beds causes degassing of carbon dioxide (pCO2) and loss of calcite supersaturation, resulting in deposition of calcite (White, 1988). A spectacular travertine deposit is located on the northeast bank of Cedar Creek where Fawcett Run joins the creek just upstream from the State Route 628 bridge, 0.5 mi south of Marlboro, Frederick County, Virginia. This deposit has formed downstream from an unnamed spring at Marlboro and where Fawcett Run drops approximately 15 ft at a waterfall into Cedar Creek. The marl deposits located just north of Winchester, Frederick County along Redbud Run and those in Clarke County, Virginia have been mined for agricultural lime (Sweet and Hubbard, 1990). ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS AND PROBLEMS RELATED TO KARST Problems associated with karst in the Shenandoah Valley are subsidence, collapse, and ground -water contamination. Jennings (1985) defines subsidence as "the mass movement of soils, weathering mantles, and superficial deposits that is often gradual," whereas collapse is defined as "geologically sudden mass movement of the karst bedrock." Collapse sinkholes are generally rare in the Shenandoah Valley. However, both natural processes and man's influence do provide a risk; for example, Newton and Tanner (1987) provide several case histories of human-induced sinkholes in the eastern United States. In November of 1992, a collapse sinkhole developed in northern Clarke County, Virginia which caused extensive property damage completely engulfing a home in less than two months. A common cause of collapse is a drop in the water table due to extended droughts or excessive pumping of the ground water (Newton and Tanner, 1987). In the study area, subsidence typically occurs over a long period of time by solutional enlargement of fractures such as joints, faults, and bedding planes. 1 - Reconnaissance geologic mapping by Orndorff, modified from Cardwell and others (1968) 2 - Reconnaissance geologic mapping by Orndorff, 39°00' modified from Butts and Edmundson (1966) 78°00' Manuscript approved for publication January 25, 1994 INTERIOR —GEOLOGICAL SURVEY, RESTON, VA -1994 SINKHOLES AND KARST-RELATED FEATURES OF THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY IN THE WINCHESTER 30' x 60' QUADRANGLE, VIRGINIA AND WEST VIRGINIA By Randall C.

Ground -water movement in the carbonate rocks of the Shenandoah Valley is extremely complicated. The openings in these rocks, consisting of joints, faults, and bedding planes, may be enlarged by solution of the limestone and dolostone resulting in a complex drainage pattern. This may increase the potential for ground -water contamination and complicates prediction of areas that may become affected. Dye-tracer tests, where fluorescent dye is introduced into a sinkpoint and detected at springs, wells, or surface streams, have been conducted to gain a better understanding of the Shenandoah Valley ground -water system (Kozar and others, 1991; Jones, 1991). Jones (1991), for example, reported travel times of three to five months for distances of one to three miles, which suggests that karstic fl ow is well developed in certain areas. Sources of ground -water contamination in the Shenandoah Valley of the Winchester quadrangle include agricultural runoff (pesticides, herbicides, animal waste), industrial pollution, underground storage tanks, regional landfills, and private septic systems. Areas affected by contaminants from these sources are difficult to predict due to the complex hydrogeologic setting in the karst terrain. During the last 200 years sinkholes have been used for dumping of waste and therefore are direct sources for ground -water contaminants. Slifer and Erchul (1989) estimate that there are over 4,600 illegal dumps in the karst area of the Valley and Ridge Province in Virginia, 30 percent of which are likely sinkhole dumps. Also, the possibility of buried sinkholes beneath the regolith which have no surface expression and the pinnacled nature of the carbonate bedrock should be considered in landfill and other land -use studies. Significant portions of the study area are underlain by carbonate rocks, but exhibit no surface expression of subsidence features. However, here too, karst processes are active. In these areas, karstification is expressed by poorly developed surface drainage, as well as some minor solutional sculpting of the exposed bedrock (karren features). Areas such as these present a variety of potential problems for land users, including relatively rapid movement of contaminated ground water, and difficulties in engineering building foundations due to differential compaction, soil piping, and collapse of subsurface cavities (White, 1988). CONCLUSIONS The existence of sinkholes, caves, pinnacled bedrock, and other karst features in the Shenandoah Valley of the Winchester 30' X 60' quadrangle indicate potential environmental and engineering hazards associated with urban development. Ground- water contamination is a serious concern and the complex hydrogeologic systems associated with karst create difficulties in predicting the rate and direction of ground- water movement. Also, ground-water contamination can affect surface water quality where it rises at springs. With the increase in industrial development combined with the long agricultural history of this part of the Shenandoah Valley, the potential of ground- water contamination has also increased. Subsidence and collapse, although rare, have occurred in the recent past and need to be considered in land use planning and construction. These problems associated with karst terrains should be considered at all scales of development as land use planning.

DONDERO) Staff Report for the Planning Commission Prepared: September 18, 2023 Staff Contacts: M. Tyler Klein, AICP, Senior Planner Reviewed Action Planning Commission: 10/04/23 Pending Board of Supervisors: 11/08/23 Pending EXECUTIVE SUMMARY & STAFF CONCLUSION FOR THE 10/04/23 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: This is an application to rezone approximately 4.75+/- acres from RA (Rural Areas) District to RP (Residential Performance) District with proffers to enable the development of up to 25 single-family attached (SFA, townhome) units. The subject property is in the Red Bud Magisterial District south of the signalized intersection of Senseny Road (Route 657) and Channing Drive. Staff notes the proposed rezoning does not include the “mix of uses” envisioned by the urban center land use designation in the Comprehensive Plan and the Senseny/Eastern Frederick Area Plan (SEFLUP). However, the proposed rezoning may otherwise be appropriate given the scale of the project and the relatively small size of the property in question. Furthermore, the ability of the project to be connected in the future to a larger, more integrated, and mixed-use development is possible. To that end, the rezoning accommodates the future collector roadway (Channing Drive extended) and multiuse trail, which may allow for future connectivity to the envisioned “urban center.” The applicant has provided a proffer statement, dated July 12, 2023, that addresses capital impacts to County services ($13,098 per unit; or $327,450 for the total project), necessary transportation improvements for the extension of Channing Drive and future site access to adjoining parcels. There are no outstanding review agency comments. Following a public hearing, a recommendation from the Planning Commission regarding this rezoning application to the Board of Supervisors would be appropriate. The Applicant should be prepared to adequately address all concerns raised by the Planning Commission. 227 Rezoning #04-23 Dover Hill Crossing II September 18, 2023 Page 2 This report has been prepared by the Frederick County Planning Staff to provide information to the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors to assist them in making a decision on this application. It may also be useful to others interested in this zoning matter. Unresolved issues concerning this application are noted by staff where relevant throughout this staff report. PROPOSAL: To rezone 4.75 +/- acres from RA (Rural Areas) District to RP (Residential Performance) District with proffers to enable the development of up to 25 single-family attached (SFA, townhome) units. LOCATION: The subject property is located at 2216 Senseny Road, Winchester; immediately south of the signalized intersection of Senseny Road (Route 657) and Channing Drive.

The Comprehensive Plan is an official public document that serves as the community's guide for making decisions regarding development, preservation, public facilities and other key components of community life. The Plan is developed with the input of the public and adopted by the Board of Supervisors (lasted updated November 2021). The Plan is a vital tool that provides direction for future growth, aimed at ensuring orderly well-planned development to promote, preserve and protect the health, safety, general welfare, and quality of life for the citizens and businesses of Frederick County. The Area Plans in Appendix I of the Comprehensive Plan are the primary implementation tools and are 228 Rezoning #04-23 Dover Hill Crossing II September 18, 2023 Page 3 instrumental to the future planning efforts of the County. Land Use Compatibility The Comprehensive Plan and the Senseny/Eastern Frederick Area Plan (SEFLUP) provide guidance on the future development of the subject property. The Plan identifies the subject property with a “urban center” (Greenwood) land use designation and as being within the limits of the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA) and Urban Development Area (UDA). The “Greenwood Urban Center,” as stated in the plan: “Provides an opportunity for a focal point for an area where most of the recent suburban residential development has occurred. The Greenwood Urban Center is envisioned to introduce a mix of uses into already developed areas in a way that builds the identity and enhances its livability. This urban center should embrace a traditional main-street feel, be pedestrian- friendly, ecologically sensitive, and architecturally distinctive, honor our region’s local heritage and look to the future by promoting urban life in a dynamic new way. This lifestyle center should be defined by tree-lined boulevards and an inviting central park area oriented around the existing historic farmhouse and grounds. The residential densities in the core of this area are envisioned to be in the 12-16 units per acre range, tapering off to 6 units per acre on its perimeter. Anchored in all directions by existing and proposed schools and park areas, this urban center is tailored to be the future focal point of the Senseny Road and Greenwood Road area.” Staff notes the proposed rezoning does not include the “mix of uses” envisioned by the urban center land use designation in the Comprehensive Plan. However, it may otherwise be appropriate given the scale of the project and the relatively small size of the property in question. Furthermore, the ability of the project to be connected in the future to a larger, more integrated, and mixed-use development is possible. The proposed rezoning is on the northeast corner of the plans designated urban center area and has a proposed density of 5.26 dwelling units/acre (25 units on 4.75-acres) which is consistent with the plans desired density along the perimeter of the Greenwood Urban Center. Finally, the proposed rezoning also accommodates the future collector roadway and multiuse trail, detailed below, which may allow for future connectivity to the envisioned urban center. 2) Site Access and Transportation The Eastern Road Plan, contained in the Comprehensive Plan, identifies a “new major collector roadway” bisecting the subject property extending Channing Drive south from the intersection with Senseny Road to Route 50. A new multiuse trail, running parallel to the extension of Channing Drive is also identified in the adopted plan. Senseny Road (Route 657) is identified as an “improved major collector” roadway, ultimately a four-lane urban roadway. The SEFLUP also emphasizes access management, particularly along primary roadways. The right-of-way for the future extension to Channing Drive (105’ wide) on the subject property and multiuse trail are depicted on the included Generalized Development Plan (GDP) dated July 12, 2023. A two-lane portion of Channing Drive extended is proffered to serve as access to the development, with 229 Rezoning #04-23 Dover Hill Crossing II September 18, 2023 Page 4 no additional points of access proposed directly from Senseny Road. The rezoning is generally consistent with the adopted plan policy. 3) Potential Impacts & Proffers Capital Costs When evaluating capital costs of new residential development, the County projects per unit costs through the Capital Impact Model (CIM). The CIM is an economic tool that the County utilizes when considering land use planning policy decisions and rezoning applications. The model has been designed to project fiscal impacts that may result with land use change decisions. The CIM was originally adopted by the Board of Supervisors (BOS) in 2005 and the last annual update was made staff and the adopted by the BOS in July 2022. A summary of the project outputs for the proposed 25-unit single-family attached (SFA – townhome) development in the Red Bud district is provided below (and full summary included in the attachments to this staff report). The Capital Impact Model (as of March 2023) projects a per unit capital cost to the County of approximately $13,097. 230 Rezoning #04-23 Dover Hill Crossing II September 18, 2023 Page 5 Proffer Statement The applicant has provided a proffer statement dated July 12, 2023, including monetary contributions to County departments and non-monetary improvements. The applicant proposes a per unit contribution of $13,098 per SFA unit (for a project total of $327,450) to offset capital impacts as follows: County Department Monetary Contribution Parks & Recreation $784 per unit (Proffer 2.1) Fire & Rescue $4,884 per unit (Proffer 3.1) Public Schools $7,165 per unit (Proffer 4.1) Sheriff $265 per unit (Proffer 5.1) In addition to the above monetary contributions, the applicant proposes the following other proffered commitments: • Proffer 1.1: Limit the total number of single-family attached (SFA townhome) units that may be developed to 25 and prohibit the development of multifamily units on the subject property. • Proffer 8.1: Construction of a two-lane extension of Channing Drive, south of Senseny Road, and terminating at the southern property line to serve as access to the development. • Proffers 8.2 & 8.3: Reserve area for future right-of-way (ROW) dedication for the full section of Channing Drive and future multiuse trail (105-feet in width) and reserve area for future inter- parcel connection to the lot south of the subject property.

The subject property is owned by Ken/Karen Dondero and Victor/Patricia Cruz identified as Tax Parcel 65-A-16. This Parcel is south of Senseny Road, directly across from the termination of Channing Drive at Senseny Road (see the Location Exhibit included with this report). The Parcel is currently zoned RA, Rural Area District, within the Urban Center of the Red Bud Magisterial District. Upon rezoning to the RP District, the area to the west of the new extension of Channing Drive is expected to be developed into residential units. The remaining property to the east of the new extension of Channing Dr will not be further developed at this time, however it may be at some time in the future. Site Information Location: The Parcel (Tax Map #65-A-16) fronts on the south side of Senseny Road (Route 657), at the termination of Channing Drive. Magisterial District: Red Bud District Tax Map Numbers: 65-A-16 Current Zoning: RA, Rural Area District Current Use: Single Family Dwelling Proposed Zoning: RP Residential Performance Proposed Use: Residential development. Total Rezoning Area: 4.75 acres (with proffers) Permitted Density 10 DU per acre (Zoning Ordinance 165-402.05) 248 COMPREHENSIVE POLICY PLAN Urban Development Area The Urban Development Area (UDA) defines the general area in which residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional land use development is encouraged in the County. The entirety of the 4.75-acre subject property is located within the UDA. Sewer and Water Service Area The Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA) is generally aligned with the UDA, but also extends outside of the UDA to accommodate other areas of the County. The entirety of the 4.75-acre subject property is located within the SWSA. Comprehensive Plan Conformity The Senseny/Eastern Frederick Land Use Plan applicable to the County’s Urban Areas designates the Parcel for (among other uses) Residential within the Greenwood Urban Center area. The proposed rezoning of the RP District is therefore in conformance with the Frederick County Comprehensive Plan. SUITABILITY OF THE SITE Access The site currently fronts on Senseny Road. An extension of a half section of Channing Drive south of Senseny Road will be constructed for the sole purpose of creating access to this site for its future residents. The area needed to expand and continue Channing Drive south of Senseny Road will be dedicated to the County with the ultimate subdivision of the property. All other construction of future Channing Drive will be done by others. Roadways within Dover Hill Crossing II will be private and will meet all appropriate County requirements and standards. Flood Plains The Parcel does not contain areas of floodplain per FEMA NFIP Map #51069C0240E Effective Date January 29, 2021. Wetlands The Parcel does not contain wetland areas as demonstrated on the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) Map information or from information identified in the Frederick County GIS Database. 249 Soil Types The subject property contains soil types as demonstrated by the Soil Survey of Frederick County Virginia, and the Frederick County GIS Database. The following soil types are present on site: 1B – Berks Channery Silt Loam 3 to 8 percent slopes The Berks series consists of moderately deep, well drained soils formed in residuum weathered from shale, siltstone, and fine-grained sandstone on rounded and dissected uplands. Slope ranges from 0 to 80 percent. Permeability is moderate or moderately rapid. These soils are described as having a moderate infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. They consist chiefly of moderately deep or deep, moderately well drained or well drained soils that have moderately fine texture to moderately coarse texture. These soils have a moderate rate of water transmission. 41D – Weikert-Berks Channery Silt Loams, 15 to 25 percent slopes The Weikert series consists of shallow, well drained soils formed in material that weathered from interbedded gray and brown acid shale, siltstone, and fine-grained sandstone on gently sloping to very steep areas on uplands. Slope ranges from 0 to 100 percent. Permeability is moderately rapid. SURROUNDING PROPERTIES Adjoining property zoning and present use. North: RP, Residential Performance District Use: Residential South: RA, Rural Area District Use: Vacant/Undeveloped East: RA, Rural Area District Use: Vacant/Undeveloped West: RA, Rural Area District Use: Vacant/Undeveloped TRANSPORTATION Vehicular access to the site will be from the newly constructed extension of a half section of Channing Drive. This extension of Channing Drive will be built for the sole purpose of allowing access to this site. Any future expansion of, or creation of, Channing Drive will be done by others. The current “three way” intersection of Channing Drive and Senseny Road is controlled by a traffic light. Upgrades to the existing traffic control devices will be provided which will allow the control of traffic on the (to be constructed) extension of Channing Drive. 250 The bicycle/pedestrian path within this parcel, identified within the Frederick County GIS map will be constructed on the east side of the future extension of Channing Drive. This will allow the new path to properly align with the existing path located on existing Channing Drive North of Senseny Road. Traffic Impact Analysis: Per county staff, the size of property would not meet the threshold that would require a traffic impact analysis. SEWAGE CONVEYANCE AND TREATMENT As previously stated, the Parcel is located wholly within the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA) and is therefore entitled to be served by public sewer based on County Policy. Frederick Water is the provider of public sewer service within this area of the County. WATER SUPPLY As previously stated, the Parcel is located wholly within the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA) and is therefore entitled to be served by public water based on County Policy. Frederick Water is the provider of public water service within this area of the County. SITE DRAINAGE Topographic relief on the Parcel generally follows an east to west pattern that directs drainage towards the western property line. A complete stormwater management plan will be designed at the time of final engineering design. All associated stormwater quantity and quality measures will be designed in conformance with all applicable state and local regulations; therefore, site drainage and stormwater management impacts to adjoining properties and the community will be mitigated. HISTORICAL SITES AND STRUCTURES The Property is not indicated by Virginia Department of Historic Resources (DHR) and Frederick County GIS records as containing any Historic Resources. The residential structure was constructed more than 50 years ago but does not have any historical or architectural significance. PUBLIC SCHOOLS The proposed residential community may be classified as an infill development that will be served by existing adequate public facilities. The Applicant will address the issue of a contribution to public schools in accordance with formulas adopted by the Board of Supervisors in the proffers that will be submitted during the processing of the rezoning application. 251 TRASH SERVICE This project will utilize private refuse collection services administered by the HOA, which will result in limited impacts to the Greenwood Convenience center. EMERGENCY SERVICES Emergency services for the site will be provided by Greenwood Fire and Rescue along with the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office. The extension of Channing Drive south of Senseny Road will allow access for emergency response vehicles serving the area. 252 24,533 SF (0.56 )AC RESIDUE LOT EX ZONING/USE: RA/VACANT PROPOSED ZONING: RP ZONING: RA - VACANT ZONING: RPZONING: RP ZONING: RP ZONING: RP ZONING: RPZONING: RP ZONING: RP Frederick County, VA DOVER HILL CROSSING II GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN June 6, 2022 0 15 30 60 120 Scale: 1" = 30' DEVELOPMENT SUMMARY: CURRENT ZONING: RA PROPOSED ZONING: RP SITE AREA: 4.748 ACRES± CHANNING ROAD ROW RESERVATION: 1.06 ACRES± LANDBAY "A": 3.13 ACRES± LANDBAY "B" (RESIDUE LOT): 0.56 ACRES± March 21, 2023 April 6, 2023 PROPOSED ACCESS LOCATION TO LANDBAY "A" LEGEND: APPROXIMATE LOCATION OF LANDBAY LIMITS PROPOSED TRAIL (APPROXIMATE LOCATION) EXHIBIT 1 May 25, 2023 NOTE: NO MULTIFAMILY UNITS ALLOWED IN EITHER LANDBAY "A" OR "B" July 12, 2023 FUTURE INTERPARCEL ACCESS 253 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Staunton/Edinburg Land Development 14031 Old Valley Pike Edinburg, VA 22824 Mr. Cheran, This office has completed our review of the Dover Hill Crossing II rezoning application from Ken Dondero. This application is proposing to rezone Tax Map Parcel 65-A-16 from Rural Area (RA) to Rural Performance (RP). The parcel consists of 4.75 acres +/-. We offer the following items for the County’s consideration of this rezoning: • Transportation proffer 8.2 advises the applicant proffers to reserve a 105’ right-of-way for future dedication at no cost to the County for a period of 25 years beginning the date of rezoning approval. A sunset clause does not seem appropriate so long as this roadway is shown on the County’s comprehensive plan. Removal of the sunset clause and providing the right-of- way dedication and any necessary easements with this rezoning may be more appropriate. • The rezoning advises the two-lane roadway from Senseny to the southern limits of the property to serve the 25 units will initially be private but built to VDOT Standards. We recommend this be a public street to ensure the roadway is properly constructed and maintained until such time as the ultimate roadway section is completed. • The rezoning should address any additional right-of-way needs for the ultimate typical section for Senseny Road which is shown as an Urban Four Lane Divided Collector Roadway on the Frederick County Comprehensive Plan. • The proposed connection to Senseny Road is located at a signalized intersection, with three legs of the intersection being active. Please note that the development will be responsible for upgrading the signal to accommodate the fourth leg of the intersection at their cost. This is a general advisory statement for awareness. Future signal design may result in modifications to the intersection including a westbound left turn lane on Senseny Road. • To ensure optimal phasing and operation of the existing traffic signal, a left turn lane exiting the site may be required. We appreciate the opportunity to review and comment on this rezoning request. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.

Frederick Water offers comments limited to the anticipated impact/effect upon Frederick Water’s public water and sanitary sewer system and the demands thereon. The project parcel is located within the sewer and water service area (SWSA) and the Urban Development Area (UDA), and therefore by county policy, Frederick Water’s water and sewer services are available. The application’s Impact Statement is silent on the projected quantities of water and sewer generation from the proposed land use. Water service is available via an existing 8-inch water main located on the northside of Senseny Road. An 8-inch gravity sanitary sewer service is also available on the northside of Senseny Road. The applicant is responsible for confirming that adequate water and sewer capacities are available to meet demands, and for constructing any improvements necessary to facilitate utilization of the services. Water and sanitary sewers are to be constructed in accordance with Frederick Water standards and specifications. Easements will be required to accommodate infrastructure that is dedicated to Frederick Water. Please be aware that Frederick Water is offering these review comments 257 Page 2 2216 Senseny Road – Dover Hill Crossing II residential rezoning application Ken Dondero April 24, 2023 without the benefit or knowledge of a proffered proposed use and water and sewer demands for the site. Please keep in mind that water supplies and sanitary sewer conveyance capacities change daily; with each new customer connection brings additional demands and generated flows. Additional upgrades to the sanitary sewer system may be necessary for the project to connect and contribute to the system once the site’s sanitary sewer generations are known. This letter does not guarantee system capacities to accommodate your development proposal. Thank you for the opportunity to offer review comments. Sincerely, Eric R.

Our understanding is that this development proposal includes 25 single-family attached units. We estimate that this development will house 9 students, including 5 elementary students, 2 middle school students, and 2 high school students. The high school that will be serving this development is currently over capacity. In order to properly serve these additional students, Frederick County Public Schools would spend an estimated $128,000 more per year in operating costs (or $5,120 average per unit per year) and an estimated $721,000 in one-time capital expenditures (or $28,840 average per unit). You will find, enclosed with this letter, a more detailed assessment of the estimated impact of Dover Hill Crossing II on FCPS, including attendance zone information.

Williams County Attorney 540/722-8383 Fax 540/667-0370 E-mail rwillia@fcva.us May 2, 2023 VIA EMAIL Mr. Ken Dondero 305 Senseny Glen Drive Winchester, VA 22602 Re: Rezoning Application – Dover Hills – Tax Map Parcel Number 65-A-16 (the “Subject Property”) Dear Mr. Dondero: You have submitted to Frederick County for review a proffer statement (the “Proffer Statement”), for the proposed rezoning of the Subject Property, comprised of 4.75± acres, in the Redbud Magisterial District, from the RA (Rural Areas) Zoning District to the RP (Residential Performance) Zoning District. I have now reviewed the Proffer Statement and it is my opinion that the Proffer Statement would be in a form to meet the requirements of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance and the Code of Virginia, and would be legally sufficient as a proffer statement, subject to the following comments:  Record Owners/Signatures – Because we record proffer statements in the land records, following approval, the Proffer Statement should show the full names of the owners and in boldface type, with the last names underlined, to facilitate proper indexing of the document by the Clerk’s Office. Also, as there are four owners of the Subject Property, the Proffer Statement needs a separate signature page for each owner. This is true even if you are relying on the powers of attorney for the other owners; the pages for each of them would need to show that you are signing by power of attorney.  Introductory paragraph 2 – I note that the Proffer Statement defines the term “Applicant” to include all future owners and successors and interest, but for clarity, the best practice is simply to have the Proffer Statement refer consistently throughout to “Owner” and to have the Proffer Statement define that term to include all future owners and successors and interest. As a practical matter, there is no difference between the owners and the 266 Mr. Ken Dondero May 2, 2023 Page 2 applicant in this rezoning, so there is no need to use the extra term “Applicant” in the Proffer Statement.  Generalized Development Plan (“GDP”) – The materials I received did not include a copy of the GDP. Consequently, I am unable to offer complete comments on the Proffer Statement, as one aspect of my review typically entails confirming that an included generalized development plan properly corresponds to the provisions of the proffer statement to which it applies. Accordingly, please consider this comment letter to be incomplete. Also, the phrase “and shall include the following” and the colon, at the end of introductory paragraph 2 is not appropriate, as the Proffer Statement appears to include matters that would not necessarily be subject to or related to the GDP.  Proffer 1.1 – For best clarity, if the following corresponds with your intent, the first sentence might better read: “Development of the part of the Property that is west of the area proposed for the extension of Channing Drive across the Property shall be limited to not more than 25 single family attached dwelling units.” Also, staff should be aware that, with respect to the remainder of the Subject Property, the only limitation is that multi- family dwelling units would be prohibited.  Proffers 2 through 5 – As written, these proffers are applicable to single family attached dwelling units, but, to the extent that the Proffer Statement may allow for development of other housing types, particularly on the eastern portion of the Subject Property, the proffers do not specify cash payment amounts for other housing types.  Proffer 3.1 – The proffer contains a typographical error in its reference to a certificate of occupancy.  Proffer 6.3 – I must ask whether this item is appropriate for inclusion as a proffer. The proffer is quite particular as to the internal operations of the development, as opposed to addressing impacts on public facilities. Further toward this end, I therefore must note that County staff would not necessarily have the relevant expertise to opine on the appropriate level of funding that a homeowners’ association should have for its operations. As such, it would seemingly be inappropriate for the County to pass judgment as to such a provision, by considering it as part of the Proffer Statement.  Proffer 8.1 – The proffer is ambiguous as to the length of the road segment the owner will construct, whether it will be “to the extent necessary to provide access” or whether it will be to the southern property line. Also, the second sentence is unnecessary; the owners always have the right to attempt obtaining funding from whatever source they wish, but the proffer cannot obligate the County to support a specific funding approach.  Proffer 8.2 – If the intent is to reserve right-of-way for the entire length of Channing Drive over the Subject Property, then the Proffer should so state that the reservation is for such entire length. In that some of the materials refer to a parallel trail, staff will need to 267 Mr. Ken Dondero May 2, 2023 Page 3 confirm adequacy of the proposed right-of-way width; staff will also want to note that the Proffer Statement does not provide for construction of the trail.  Proffer 8.3 – The precise purpose of this proffer is not necessarily clear, especially without my having had the benefit of receiving a copy of the GDP. Is this related to the Channing Drive right-of-way? Is this something else? What is this? I have not reviewed the substance of the proffers as to whether the proffers are suitable and appropriate for this specific development, as my understanding is that review will be done by staff and the Planning Commission.

REVIEW EVALUATIONS: Planning and Zoning: Proposal: As stated in the application submitted to Planning and Development this is a request for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to enable the establishment of a campground with 90 year-round portable micro-cabin campsites and a back-of-house maintenance area on five (5) parcels totaling +/- 430-acres. The subject properties are heavily wooded and include steep slopes and other natural features. The Project Narrative (April 26, 2023) described the proposed use as follows: “Getaway provides escapes to campgrounds with tiny cabins nestled in nature that allow our guests to disconnect from their busy routines and simply enjoy undistracted time in a remote and serene environment. All Getaway Cabin units are certified by the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (“RVIA”), are constructed off-site and will be towed to a designated pad situated approximately 75+ feet apart from one another. Once placed, the micro-cabins remain portable, on wheels, and will be moved only for repairs or upgrades. Each unit will contain an individual bathroom and kitchenette and will be connected to on- site utilities, including water, septic, and electricity. The project will be operated by a full- time General Manager and Assistant General Manager, a full-time Facilities Manager, part-time housekeeping staff supported by company operations based remotely. One of the full-time employees will reside on site. Getaway is not a traditional campground; Outside/personal RVs and tents are not permitted at Getaway. Guests are only able to stay at Getaway’s cabins by booking a stay through our website. ‘Walk-in’ guests are not 287 Page 4 CUP #09-23, Getaway House, Inc. September 25, 2023 allowed. The maximum length of stay is 7 days, and full-time residency is not permitted for our guests.” The applicant has further requested inclusion of conditions #6 through #14 to addresses stated concerns by adjoining property owners and ensure the campground operates as described in the application materials. Please note many of the statements in the application narrative are reflective of the applicants (Getaway House, Inc,) intentions to operate their facility and are not binding unless expressed as conditions on the CUP. Comprehensive Plan Conformance & Land Use Compatibility: The Comprehensive Plan is an official public document that serves as the community's guide for making decisions regarding development, preservation, public facilities and other key components of community life. The Plan is developed with the input of the public and adopted by the Board of Supervisors (lasted updated November 2021). The Plan is a vital tool that provides direction for future growth, aimed at ensuring orderly well-planned development to promote, preserve and protect the health, safety, general welfare, and quality of life for the citizens and businesses of Frederick County. The Plan identifies the subject properties with a “rural” land use designation and outside the limits of the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA) and Urban Development Area (UDA). The subject properties are also not part of any other land use study. The Plan (Chapter 2 – Rural Areas & Chapter 4 – Business Development) speaks to the County’s support for preservation of rural areas outdoor recreation and tourism. The proposed use, a campground, is generally consistent with the planned land use, rural, the County’s goals for preservation, outdoor recreation, and tourism, and does not negatively impact the character of the area. Site Access & Transportation: McCubbin Road (Route 653) is an unpaved public roadway. Access from the site, as shown on the “Conditional Use Site Plan,” (dated April 27, 2023) is proposed from one (1) commercial entrance from McCubbin Road, immediately south of the West Virginia (WV) state Line. As noted on the plan provided with the application materials, specifically the “Road Improvement Notes,” “the project proposes to improve Route 653 to the standards outlined under VDOT’s Pave in Place Program…Route 653 will be widened to a minimum of 18’ and include 2’ of shoulder on the site (east) side…the surface will be improved by applying a Prime and Double Seal surface treatment from the intersection of Green Spring Road to the West Virginia State line.” The application, as proposed, would improve the standard of the roadway from the WV state line south to Green Spring Road (Route 671). Hard surface improvements for site access are part of the recommended conditions of approval (#2). Zoning Ordinance Requirements: Chapter 165 – Zoning Ordinance includes “Additional Regulations for Specific Uses” for campgrounds and tourist camps (§165-204.03). Specifically, where allowed, a campground shall meet the following requirements: 288 Page 5 CUP #09-23, Getaway House, Inc. September 25, 2023 A. Minimum size. The minimum lot size for a campground shall be five acres. B. Density. The maximum allowed density for a campground shall be 10 campsites or cabins per acre. C. Perimeter setbacks. The perimeter setback from the boundary of the campground for all structures and campsites shall be 100 feet. D. Residences. No more than one permanent residence shall be allowed in a campground, which shall only be occupied by the owner, manager, or an employee. E. Buffers and screens. Where campgrounds are allowed, zoning district separation buffers and screens, Category C as described by this chapter, shall be provided in relation to surrounding properties containing residential uses. F. Campgrounds shall meet all the requirements of the Virginia Department of Health. The application proposes 90 campsites on +/- 430-acres or 0.20 campsites per acre.

Our locations – or Outposts, as we call them – are situated within a short drive of large populations and offer easy and frequent opportunities to enjoy the beauty of the great outdoors while within the comfort of their own tiny cabin they book by the night. In Winchester, we are proposing the design of an Outpost that reflects the character of the local environment and has operating standards that ensure the safety of our guests, immediate surroundings, and the community. Based on its stunning natural features and location, this property provides the perfect canvas for our proposed use. Our goal is to create a unique, low-impact experience that connects our guests with nature, while creating local jobs and driving commerce to the area. Project Overview The proposed project site totals roughly 451 acres of land to the north of Winchester off McCubbin Road. The site is currently a densely wooded and vegetated undeveloped lot with one single-family home. Our project consists of the development of the property to create up to 90 year-round portable micro-cabin campsites and a back-of-house maintenance area. All Getaway Cabin units are certified by the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (“RVIA”), are constructed off-site and will be towed to a designated pad situated approximately 75+ feet apart from one another. Once placed, the micro-cabins remain portable, on wheels, and will be moved only for repairs or upgrades. Each unit will contain an individual bathroom and kitchenette and will be connected to on-site utilities, including water, septic, and electricity. The project will be operated by a full-time General Manager and Assistant General Manager, a full-time Facilities Manager, part-time housekeeping staff supported by company operations based remotely. One of the full-time employees will reside on site. Getaway is not a traditional campground; Outside/personal RVs and tents are not permitted at Getaway. Guests are only able to stay at Getaway ’s cabins by booking a stay through our website. “Walk-in” guests are not allowed. The maximum length of stay is 7 days, and full-time residency is not permitted for our guests. The address of Getaway is not published, and all pertinent information is provided to guests once they complete their booking. Fire Danger, Restrictions, and Safeguards Getaway currently has 27 locations across the country with very detailed standard operating procedures for guest conduct and use of our USFS-approved fire rings/pits. Onsite staff monitor and enforce fire safety measures including, but not limited to, multiple rounds of the property to ensure guests have extinguished their fires by 10:30PM. During the last round of the property, staff will extinguish active fires by 11PM. Unattended fires are strictly prohibited. Guests are provided with documentation detailing internal regulations concerning fire safety in addition to multiple permanent outdoor signs regarding fire safety at the fire pit area. Also, each cabin is independently equipped with a fire extinguisher and smoke detector. During burn bans or local Red Flag Warnings we do not allow guests to use the fire pits; the campfire rings/pits and firewood storage boxes are locked or removed based on local requirements. Guests are notified prior to arrival and upon arrival when burn bans are in place. April 26, 2023 416 297 Emergency Response and Access There will be an improved point of ingress/egress into the property from McCubbin Road that will be constructed to meet VDOT commercial entrance requirements and will support the flow of emergency vehicle traffic.Getaway Staff members are onsite doing rounds of the property 7am-11pm, as well as at least one staff member that lives full-time onsite and/or are on call 24/7. Getaway staff have training in security protocols and work collaboratively with local public safety departments. Impact On Neighbors Cabin Placement/Buffers In an effort to respect the privacy of the residents who live adjacent to the site, and other neighboring property owners, Getaway has intentionally designed our site plan to utilize the most densely wooded acreage to reduce the possibility that neighbors see our cabins and so that our guests can’t see our neighbors. Each cabin is positioned such that views rarely look at another cabin, road, or neighboring structures. Privacy for both our guests and our neighbors is of great importance to our company. Additionally, all cabins are over 300 feet from the nearest property line as shown on the concept plan. Noise Getaway’s Outposts are designed to encourage quiet connection with the natural environment, without the distraction of communal facilities or large groups. Amplified music is never allowed and a noise curfew is enforced after 10 PM. Any guest in violation of the curfew may be subject to a monetary fine. Getaway’s 24/7 on-site staff member is responsible for enforcing all campground rules, including those related to noise. Lighting/Glare Each cabin is equipped with a single, dimmable, and downward-facing exterior light which emits a low, warm glow (2700K). Each cabin is also equipped with retractable shades on each window, which are often drawn down at night. There will be no “street light ” style lights on the property. Trash Control/Odor Getaway’s mission is to allow guests to have an immersive experience in nature and expects that guests respect the environment. Getaway instructs guests to leave all trash and recyclables in their cabins, which are then collected by the on-site staff for storage in a central dumpster. The central dumpster will be collected on regular intervals to avoid trash odor. Pets Getaway only allows guests to bring their dogs with prior notice during the reservation process. Getaway enforces the use of a leash and requires owners to pick up after their dogs. No other pets are allowed onsite. Environmental Impact Natural Areas Our goal is to remove as little vegetation and disturb as little land as possible; our ideal site is heavily wooded and highly private – the removal of trees and natural habitat runs counter to our business model and our values. Getaway seeks to help people reconnect with nature and is invested in the long-term sustainability of the environment. Only about 5% percent of vegetation, or 15-20 acres, will be cleared at this outpost out of the 451 acre site. Comparatively, 90% of vegetation is typically cleared and stripped of natural resources for single-family 416 298 residential developments or agricultural developments. There is a system of existing dirt roads throughout the property which will be reused to the greatest extent possible. Water Usage Each Getaway cabin will be connected to a private, onsite water system that meets public water supply standards. Being a steward of the environment, Getaway encourages low water usage through the installation and utilization of low-flow fixtures as well as through guest messaging. Electricity Usage Cabins will be connected to electricity which already is distributed throughout the property; however, each is designed to have a low carbon footprint. Getaway installs energy star rated heating and air conditioning systems, mini-refrigerators, and two-burner electric stoves to limit power consumption and meet its vision as an environmentally conscious company. Sewer Connections Each Getaway cabin contains a toilet, sink, and shower which are connected to a private, onsite wastewater system, to be constructed and operated consistent with State Department of Health and County Department of Health standards. Property maintenance Getaway has detailed standard operating procedures in-place for the maintenance of the land. Getaway strives to achieve the highest level of maintenance, cleanliness and stewardship. Stormwater Management All of Getaway ’s Outposts are constructed to preserve as much of the natural environment as possible, and to avoid placement of impervious surfaces. These measures greatly reduce any potential impact for stormwater to neighboring properties. The proposed project will meet all local and State Stormwater Standards. Relationship of the Proposed Use to the Frederick County Comprehensive Plan Goal 1: Recognize diversified land use for tourism related activities Getaway has a positive impact on the local economy, providing jobs to contractors during site construction, as well as providing ongoing full and part-time jobs to the local community. Furthermore, Getaway provides collateral within each cabin identifying local parks, hiking trails, and recreation opportunities. We aim to partner with local businesses to encourage our guests to shop local and shop small. In other communities, these programs have served to support local farms, grocery stores, breweries, pizza shops, and more. Goal 2: Link the area’s visitor attractions with a trail network that facilitates non-vehicular movement The property will feature private walking trails nearby the cabins for our guests. Getaway is eager to work with the Northern Shenandoah Valley Regional Commission and the Redbud Run Greenway project to connect our site/trail system to local natural areas, battlefields, and other historic/local features. Goal 3: Preserve and enhance the historic character of Frederick County ’s roadways Our proposed outpost is a low density development that will preserve the rural landscape and natural beauty of Frederick County. Our development will only disturb 5% of the land while providing more lodging opportunities that harmonize with the natural surroundings and adjacent land uses. Additionally, we are in the process of 299 performing extensive environmental studies before construction to identify valued ecological features and design our site around them. 300 301 302 303 304 305 306 307 308 309 310 311 312 313 314 315 316 317 318 319 320 321 322 323 324 325 326 327 328 329 330 331 332 333 334 335 336 337 338 Planning Commission Agenda Item Detail Meeting Date: October 4, 2023 Agenda Section: Public Hearings Title: Ordinance Amendment to the Frederick County Code - (Mr. Klein) Attachments: PC10-04-23OA_ConversiontoNAICS.pdf 339 COUNTY of FREDERICK Department of Planning and Development 540/ 665-5651 Fax: 540/ 665-6395 MEMORANDUM TO: Frederick County Planning Commission FROM: Planning and Development Department Staff SUBJECT: Ordinance Amendments – Conversion of Allowed Uses to NAICS; Additions & Deletions to Allowed Uses List DATE: September 18, 2023 Proposal: There are two (2) proposals for consideration. They are not mutually exclusive; staff has separated the proposals to ensure the potential changes outlined below in “Proposal B” do not get lost in the complexity of “Proposal A.” Proposal A: Conversion of Allowed Uses Terminology The first proposal is to amend “Allowed Uses” tables contained in the planned development (Article V), and business and industrial districts (Article VI) to update and convert the permitted uses terminology to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) and remove reference to the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) in other sections the Zoning Ordinance. The NAICS is an alternative system in classifying business establishments that is maintained and updated on a regular basis by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The 2022 edition of the NAICS classification system was reviewed by staff and used in drafting ordinance revisions to convert from SIC to NAICS. As amended, the “Allowed Uses” list for each district was updated to reflect NAICS terminology and to remove numeric SIC coding. A statement was added to the “Intent” section of each district specifying how the Zoning Administrator may interpret use definitions, using those definitions provided through NAICS resources. Given the broad impact this change will have on the Zoning Ordinance, the information contained herein is limited only to the use tables impacted. The permitted uses list contained in the MS (Medical Support) District was condensed into a single section with use group subsections removed to provide additional clarity and remove duplicative uses. Other sections of the ordinance that reference SIC have also been amended to ensure consistency throughout (for example the “Additional Regulations for Specific Uses” section). Proposal B: Additions & Deletions to the Allowed Uses List; Other Changes: The second proposal is to add or remove specific uses from the business and industrial districts “Allowed Uses” tables. Specific additions and deletions are detailed below for each district. B1 (Neighborhood Business) District “Car washes” were removed from the “Allowed Uses” list. This deletion was at the recommendation of the Development Review and Regulations Committee (DRRC). B2 (General Business) District The following uses were added to the “Allowed Uses” list: Broadcasting and Content Providers, Automotive Oil Change and Lubrication Shops, and Technical and Trade Schools. 340 BOS Discussion OA – Conversion to NAICS September 18, 2023 Page 2 B3 (Industrial Transition) District The following uses were added to the “Allowed Uses” list: Warehousing and Storage, Gasoline Stations with or without Convenience Stores (and excluding Fuel Dealers), Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services including Testing Laboratories including General Business Offices, Electronic Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance, Consumer Goods Rentals and Car, Truck, Utility Trailers, and RV (Recreational Vehicle) Rental and Leasing. TM (Technology-Manufacturing Park) District The following uses were added to the “Allowed Uses” list: Storage Batteries and Primary Battery Manufacturing. M1 (Light Industrial) District The following uses were added to the “Allowed Uses” list: Storage Batteries and Primary Battery Manufacturing, and Waste Management & Remediation Services limited to glass, cardboard, and plastics recycling and excluding incinerators. M2 (Industrial General) District Tractor truck and tractor truck trailer parking was moved from the “Conditional Uses” list to the “Allowed Uses” list. MS (Medical Support) District Remove requirement for locating “Continuing Care Retirement Communities” within a two-mile radius of the Route 37 Medical Center Interchange (§165-504.02(B)(c)(1)). HE (Higher Education) The permitted use list was expanded to include accessory and secondary uses typically associated in conjunction with education campus settings, for example restaurants and retail uses. EM (Extractive Mining) District “Parks” was added to the “Permitted Uses” list. Current Zoning Ordinance Standard: The ordinance currently classifies industries using the Standard Industrial Classification System (SIC), which was last updated in 1987. The SIC includes many uses that have outdated terminology and definitions. Use of SIC presents a challenge to staff in making interpretations and determinations regarding uses, especially for new and emerging industries. Meeting Summary & Requested Action: The Development Review and Regulations Committee (DRRC) met and discussed this item at their February 23rd, March 23rd, and April 27, 2023, meetings. The primary discussion among the DRRC was whether there were additional uses to be added to the permitted use list, or if specific uses should be removed. The DRRC endorsed the proposed changes, including the additions outlined above and specifically recommended the deletion of “car washes” from the B1 District. The Committee expressed support for the conversion of the “Allowed Uses” tables to NAICS, stating it made the ordinance more “user friendly” to existing and potential new businesses and updated outdated industry terminology. The Planning Commission discussed this item on July 5th. The Planning Commission unanimously supported Proposal A (Conversion of Use Terminology); the Planning Commission was generally 341 BOS Discussion OA – Conversion to NAICS September 18, 2023 Page 3 supportive of Proposal B (Additions & Deletions to Allowed Uses Lists). Commissioner Thomas expressed reservation about additional uses proposed for the HE (Higher Education) Zoning District, noting that development of the district without the school/college campus component could be problematic. The Board of Supervisors discussed this item on August 9th and were generally supportive of the proposals. The Board through consensus requested a specific revision to the MS (Medical Support) district text to remove the requirement for locating “Continuing Care Retirement Communities” within a two-mile radius of the Route 37 Medical Center Interchange as they stated it may be prohibitive to the establishment of another medical campus and continuing care facilities elsewhere in the County. The attached document shows the existing ordinance with the proposed changes in track changes for the industrial and other planned zoning districts as drafted by Staff and revised by the Board of Supervisors. Staff are seeking a recommendation by the Planning Commission on Proposal A (Conversion of “Allowed Uses” Terminology”) and/or Proposal B (Additions & Deletions to “Allowed Uses” List) to send forward to the Board of Supervisors. Staff can answer any questions on the proposals. MTK/pd Attachments: 1. B1 (Neighborhood Business) District – Clean copy 2. B1 District – Redline 3. B2 (General Business) District – Clean copy 4.
