Part I.B.2.l) Water Quality Screening Programs

SUMMARY OF IMPLEMENTATION The purpose of this component is to implement programs to help identify and investigate potential unauthorized discharges to the MS4. DEE continued implementation of the dry weather screening program resulting in the screening of 100 outfalls. Outfalls were screened for physical indicators and, when applicable, in situ and laboratory chemical testing and analysis of dry weather flows. Twenty-two (22) outfalls were referred for maintenance issues. None of the outfalls inspected as part of the dry weather screening program were found to have unauthorized discharges. Results of dry weather screenings performed continue to be maintained on file. DEE continued to implement the wet weather screening program resulting in six (6) outfalls screened, which included outfalls with large drainage areas consisting of mixed commercial, residential, and industrial development. Outfalls were screened utilizing physical indicators and in situ analysis, and when applicable, laboratory chemical testing and analysis of wet weather flows. None of the outfalls inspected as part of the wet weather screening program were found to have unauthorized discharges. Wet weather screenings results are maintained on file. Long-term trends analysis of the wet weather screening data collected over the previous permit years has been mostly inconclusive, only providing evidence that levels of nutrient pollutants found in stormwater flows was influenced by elapsed time between rainfall events.

SPECIFIC REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

• Each annual report shall include a list of locations upon which dry weather screening was conducted, the results, and any follow-up actions including maintenance and/or repair of infrastructure or outfalls performed as a result of the dry weather screening. Please refer to Appendix B.5 “Dry Weather Screening Inspections, Results, and Follow-up Activities”.

Section 3. Monitoring Program Reports 24 Chesterfield County, Virginia Permit No. VA0088609 2018 MS4 Annual Report – PY4

Part I.C.3. Floatables Monitoring

SUMMARY OF IMPLEMENTATION The purpose of the Floatables Monitoring is to document the effectiveness of litter control programs and to determine the loading of floatables from the MS4 to streams within the county. Five (5) MS4 outfalls were monitored quarterly for floatables per the “Floatables Monitoring SOP” submitted in the second annual report. Floatables were found at each of the sites and the count of floatables observed for the year ranged from 24 to 135. The most common categories of floatables found included plastic bags, containers, and bottles, in addition to paper, cardboard, and cloth products. The methods for analyses are detailed in “CEE 4.4.6-026 General Program Supplement Draft”. Site 1 had the highest MS4 unit loading rate and is the only outfall that includes a commercial land use classification within its drainage area. Site 3 had the lowest MS4 unit loading rate and is located in one of the larger drainage areas with residential land uses. Other factors that may impact the MS4 unit loading rate include the age of the development, total drainage area, and land use. Based on a comparison of the weight of floatables at each MS4 outfall and the estimated weight of trash removed in each drainage area, it was determined that the litter prevention program was effective. Monitoring of the sites listed below will continue in the following reporting years.

SPECIFIC REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

• Each following annual report shall include a list of sites monitored, a summary of the monitoring protocols used, and a summary of the monitoring results and analyses.

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS DOROTHY JAECKLE Chairman Bermuda District LESLIE HALEY Vice Chairman Midlothian District CHRISTOPHER WINSLOW Clover Hill District JAMES M. “JIM” HOLLAND Dale District STEPHEN A. ELSWICK Matoaca District

Dear Honorable Members of the Board of Supervisors: Local government encompasses a diverse and evolving landscape. Our portfolio includes: law enforcement, mental health services, construction of park facilities, K-12 education, water-sewer service, securing new jobs via business recruitment and expansion, and literally hundreds of other mandated and citizen focused services. Tending to such a wide array of business lines requires a broad knowledge base, careful planning, continuous stakeholder dialogue, and ultimately the ability to adequately balance the varied needs of the community.

That work is an ongoing process, though it is brought into better synchronization each year through the development of the annual budget and related capital plans, and the FY2019 installment is no exception. Chesterfield County has long been recognized as a safe community with excellent schools and an overall high quality of life for its residents – and has invested accordingly. At the same time, the county – like many other localities – is facing a growing number of demographic and development trends, such as the age wave, workers wanting jobs closer to where they live, and aging neighborhoods that are requiring increased attention and resources.

That said, the FY2019 budget and associated Five-Year Plan were crafted to help chart a course for Chesterfield that not only continues to strengthen traditional core services, namely public safety and education, but also responds to emerging community topics, all while remaining mindful of the county’s longstanding commitment to good fiscal stewardship. I believe this budget strikes that careful balance for the near term and preserves longer term flexibility, allowing the county to adjust if additional needs should arise in the future.

Continued Focus on Schools As noted, safe neighborhoods and good schools are hallmarks of Chesterfield County, and recent budgets have worked hard to preserve that reputation, especially with respect to schools. Due to the sharp declines in state revenue, coupled with falling home values locally, the school division was hit particularly hard during the last economic downturn. However, there has been a coordinated effort in more recent years to reinvest in the division in order to make up the lost ground and forge even greater progress in certain strategic areas. Between FY2012 and FY2018, total per student spending in Chesterfield’s schools increased by nearly $1,500, or roughly 16 percent, surpassing the pre-recession level. Local support for schools has been a significant part of that recent trend. Over that same span (FY2012-FY2018), the recurring local transfer to schools has increased by approximately $53.8 million. That increase represents more than 40 percent of the general fund budget growth during the period – a period where student

1 enrollment has been declining as a percentage of the overall population. Stated another way, 97 percent of the increase in real estate taxes over the past seven budgets has been invested in our schools.

More importantly, those targeted investments have supported some notable progress in the division. As of the 2018-2019 school year, 100 percent of county schools are now accredited, 91 percent of students graduate on time (compared to 83 percent nationally), class sizes have been reduced through the addition of 430 teaching positions, and the division is the leader on the teacher pay scale 88 percent of the time amongst its closest peer group.

Schools remain a top priority in FY2019. The recurring portion of the local transfer is $8.3 million, or three percent, larger than the prior year total, and $2 million greater than the amount originally contemplated in the Five-Year Plan base assumption model. And, when combined with additional state funding, per student spending is expected to increase around $400, bringing the cumulative eight-year increase to nearly $1,900. As a result, the school division is positioned to advance a number of key initiatives such as the insourcing of custodial services, school start time adjustments, a two percent merit increase for school personnel, targeted pay increases for substitute teachers, additional support for special education students, and – due, in part, to the re-appropriation of prior year school savings – the conversion of the five remaining referendum projects (Reams, Crestwood, Harrowgate, Ettrick and Matoaca elementary schools) from renovations to rebuilds, completing the slate of approved projects from the 2013 referendum. In addition, the school capital budget also accommodates the Matoaca Middle School expansion and consolidation on one campus.

The FY2019 school budget also includes $6.9 million of funding dedicated to the upkeep and repair of school facilities. However, that level of investment falls well short of the major maintenance best practices, which suggest annual funding amounts closer to three or four times the current level. In response, the out-years of the school budget include a path to reach adequate levels of major maintenance funding – accomplished via significant, planned increases in FY2021 and FY2022. At the same time, acceleration of that plan should be a collective priority given the current backlog of projects, and should be the first thing added to the plan if additional state dollars are made available to schools in FY2019 or if year-end surpluses arise above other planned commitments. Major maintenance of our schools should also be a top priority in the development of future school budgets.

Changing Landscape Education is and will continue to be a key priority in Chesterfield County, though the demographic landscape of the county is changing and those realities must be considered when allocating energies and resources. First and foremost, Chesterfield, like the nation, is in the early stages of the age wave that will reshape the county’s customer base. According to the most recent numbers, Chesterfield’s 55-plus segment represents roughly a quarter of the county’s population. By 2030, however, that market share is projected to surge to a third, which represents a 51 percent increase, or around 42,000 additional older adult residents. In turn, the make-up of a typical county household is also changing. Currently, nearly two thirds of county households do not have school-aged children. At the height of the county’s population boom in the 1970s and 1980s, that figure was almost flipped as nearly 60 percent of households had a child under the age of 18.

Population, in general, continues to grow as well with current projections expecting the county to near 400,000 residents by 2030. The projected growth is likely to occur in a somewhat uneven pattern, however. Planning models show that about half of the county’s approved, but not yet built, housing stock is in the Matoaca district with much of that clustered along the western Hull Street Road corridor where the infrastructure network is already under considerable pressure. Lastly, there is growing evidence that the community’s range of priorities is expanding. Public Safety and education have consistently shown up

2 as top priorities in our recent Blueprint Chesterfield discussions and other survey tools, though other topics have also emerged as important. More specifically, transportation – ranging from congestion relief to sidewalks – and taking care of the county’s existing physical assets have both taken a seat alongside our other longstanding missions.

Strengthen Public Safety Chesterfield is managing a wide range of important issues, and this budget is a clear reflection of that balancing act. Priority number one continues to be tending to core service areas. As such, the FY2019 budget makes deliberate and strategic investments in our public safety agencies. We are fortunate to have great leadership in our public safety agencies, including the newest leader – Police Chief Jeffrey Katz – whose vision and associated initiatives will continue to ensure our citizens and businesses feel safe and secure.

In general, the primary focus for our public safety agencies remains the recruitment and retention of sworn staff. The last couple of budgets have included incremental measures to help improve the competitiveness of the county’s position in the public safety labor market. FY2019 builds on that work with funding to raise the starting pay for sheriff deputies from $36,550, just a few years ago, to $40,500 beginning on July 1, 2018. On a related note, we defined last year, and the Board of Supervisors supported, that staying current with our peers for starting salaries of police officers was critical and we will continue to do so this year. Therefore, if changes arise in peer proposals, we would want to act sooner than later in keeping competitive.

In addition to starting salaries, the budget includes enhancements to the career development programs in Police, Fire and EMS, and the Sheriff’s Office. This budget also works to bolster staffing levels. In Police, there is an expansion of their part-time staffing levels which frees up sworn officers for front-line duty, as well as the creation of 15 permanent overfill officer slots that will allow the department to run recruit schools without impacting their authorized staffing level in the field. Similarly, the Fire and EMS Department is adding eight positions to convert the ambulance service at the Harrowgate Fire Station 21 to a 24-hour operation. Since Station 21 opened in 2015 with only a daytime medic company, EMS demand has risen steadily, placing pressure on surrounding stations to fill the gap. In turn, these positions will not only improve service in the Harrowgate community, but also restore some capacity to other units that have been providing coverage. Resources have also been added to enable the Sheriff’s work crew to assist Parks and Recreation with weekend grounds maintenance, particularly at school sites.

In addition to sworn needs, this budget also makes some investments on the civilian side. The Sheriff’s Office is receiving personnel to assist with reentry coordination and other inmate services, while Police will get three positions to assist with the property and evidence room, crime data analysis, and the broader coordinated response to opioid issues. However, the impact of the opioid epidemic is not limited to one department. The county is working locally and regionally on defining what efforts are needed from the public, non-profit and private sectors. We are also evaluating what resources or changes to past practices are required to keep our citizens safe; and, for those that have been directly impacted, how best to serve them. Such a crisis is not limited to an annual budget timeline. Therefore, should additional needs arise during the coming year that warrant our immediate attention or investment, we will act and ensure appropriate public dialogue occurs alongside.

Finally, we continue to be dismayed by the State Compensation Board and its apparent shortfall of honoring its own formula for funding of constitutional offices; especially their Commonwealth Attorney offices throughout the state. Currently, they are only funding approximately 85 percent of their Commonwealth Attorney formula, which results in a shortfall of 94 positions statewide. We are even more dismayed by the inequity and inconsistency of how their funding formula is applied amongst localities.

3 Chesterfield County has a resource gap of more than 45 percent of calculated need versus the statewide average of between 15 and 16 percent. If the State Compensation Board were to simply equalize its shortfall for Chesterfield, the county would receive additional funding equivalent to four attorney positions. For any locality to be expected to overcome state formula shortfalls with local taxes is a challenge, and to-date Chesterfield has had to address this challenge with approximately $2.6 million annually in local taxes which fund 100 percent of 10 Commonwealth’s Attorney positions, as well as supplements to the rest of the office personnel. The county will continue to work to bring resolution to the resource challenges, as demonstrated by the $125,000 contingency in the budget set aside to address issues related to constitutional offices pending the outcome of some additional conversation.

Enhance Transportation Shifting to a more balanced set of priorities does not happen over the course of a single year. Instead, the county has chosen to take a more gradual approach, and there is no better example of that model than in transportation. Chesterfield’s efforts in this area have been intensifying for many years, highlighted by the FY2015 decision to increase the vehicle registration fee from $20 to $40, and dedicate the increase towards state funding programs for local road projects that required a county match. Beginning in FY2019, the county will start to transition the full vehicle registration fee to the capital program which will, by FY2023, generate an annual, local transportation improvement budget of more than $17 million.

Recent citizen conversations have revealed a broader community interpretation of what transportation means. In addition to roads, there is stronger demand for more pedestrian facilities, particularly sidewalks, as well as interest in alternative transportation services. In response, the FY2019 budget includes additional support for the county’s curb-to-curb shared ride service, Access Chesterfield, that is available to seniors, the disabled and low-income residents. Moreover, the budget also adds funding to establish a pilot program that could offer similar services to populations not currently covered by the Access model. Utilizing a varied service delivery model may also assist the county in offering more residents access to transportation services without substantial cost increases. Our goal is relatively simple, to better understand the needs of those with transportation challenges and meet those needs through the deployment of varied, cost-effective strategies within the approximately $2 million that is devoted to this topic. On the capital front, the CIP introduces $1 million in dedicated sidewalk funding beginning in FY2020.

Care for Existing Infrastructure Maximizing the County’s investment in its physical plant and, in turn, the communities those facilities support is also a key initiative of this plan. Care for existing infrastructure takes many forms, ranging from the aforementioned school referendum to the often-referenced major maintenance initiatives. Like the approach described with transportation, the county has taken a multi-year approach to addressing general government major maintenance funding – an effort that was further formalized with the adoption of a new financial policy in FY2018 that recommends annual reinvestment of 2.5 percent of an asset’s replacement value. The FY2019 budget continues that push with an eight percent increase in major maintenance funding that leaves the county at 91 percent of its stated investment goal and ahead of its original compliance timeline.

Major maintenance is also a point of emphasis in Utilities. To help support the ongoing rehabilitation and replacement of critical water and wastewater infrastructure, the FY2019 budget includes a 3.5 percent increase in the average bi-monthly bill. Similarly, the budget contemplates an increase in the one-time BMP maintenance fee that is levied for new residential and commercial development (in the Swift Creek watershed) in order to help cover the costs of performing annual inspections and repairs. The added revenue will also pay for the two new BMP maintenance workers so that inspections can be performed on the permit mandated schedule.

On a related note, the FY2019 budget continues to concentrate resources in the newly formed Community Enhancement Department. Six existing positions – and their associated duties – have been transferred to the Department in an ongoing effort to better coordinate services within existing neighborhoods. Similarly, the Department also received permanent funding for one of the property maintenance inspector positions previously resourced by the Community Development Block Grant with the second position to follow in FY2020. Lastly, the budget also includes $500,000 in dedicated capital funding that will allow the Department to make some enhancements to the built environment within their target areas.

Remain Customer Focused Regardless of the other issues of the day, every budget must be mindful of improving customer service and make investments accordingly. County services are funded by residents and businesses and, as such, it is essential that their needs are met as effectively and efficiently as possible. That said, the FY2019 budget includes numerous items aimed at improving customer interactions and service quality.

As discussed with Community Enhancement, improving service does not necessarily require new dollars. Reorganizing existing assets can often bring greater returns through the better exchange of information and leveraging economies of scale. Citizen Information and Resources is employing a blended approach for FY2019 via the transfer of two positions that will consolidate multicultural and community engagement services along with the Department’s existing portfolio, creating a true information hub for residents. In addition, there are new dollars to expand part-time staffing in the Department, which will provide added benefits in the senior services area.

The FY2019 Parks and Recreation budget includes the full complement of resources to staff and operate the new community center at Stonebridge. The center – which is provided via a partnership with Richmond Volleyball Club – will provide 5,000 square feet for year-round, predominately senior programming, along with weekday access to the entire 50,000 square foot facility during daytime hours for expanded recreation opportunities. And, although in an out-year, this budget also begins to plan for a similar facility at the former Beulah Elementary School site.

Elsewhere, the FY2019 budget gap funds the conversion of fourteen part-time library positions into seven full-time library assistants. This effort reduces the Department’s reliance on high turnover, part-time resources while restoring the system to its pre-recession staffing levels. This return to a more manageable staffing model, will ensure the library system is better prepared to serve a growing customer base.

This budget makes similar investments in the Planning Department. Over the last year, the Department has undergone a thorough workflow and process review. As a result of the findings, the FY2019 budget includes the equivalent of 2.5 positions that will augment the zoning review team as well as the customer assistance team. These staff will implement a new ‘gatekeeping’ process to help ensure that applications are submitted accurately and can be processed in a timely fashion.

Finally, the budget proceeds with a second phase of investment in the Social Services Department. Similar to Planning, Social Services has been studying their processes as a part of an ongoing effort to reduce eligibility review backlogs and staff turnover. The FY2018 budget focused on compensation and career development, and those initiatives greatly curtailed turnover (from more than 24 percent in FY16 to hovering around 8 percent today). With those issues generally settled, the FY2019 plan looks to aid the Department on the workload side by adding clerical staff who will allow case managers to better focus on the customer. There are also funds to convert four part-time positions to full-time in the child welfare area to address growing caseloads, which are currently resulting in high levels of overtime given the very time-sensitive nature of the work. And, on a more proactive front, the FY2019 budget funds a new position

5 that will be dedicated to assisting able-bodied benefit recipients obtain and maintain gainful employment. The position will work with community partners to not only reduce the duration of need for safety net programing, but also decrease recidivism in the programs.

Dedication to Good Fiscal Stewardship Along with customer service, every budget must also incorporate good fiscal stewardship. Fiscal stewardship takes many forms and cannot be measured by any one single metric. In turn, the FY2019 budget is a plan that is mindful of the full spectrum of fiscal responsibility. First and foremost, the budget is built on a conservative set of revenue assumptions that seek to maintain services, while staying within long-established policies of low debt burdens and appropriate reserve positions. Chesterfield’s economy is strong and fundamentally sound – unemployment is nearing three percent, job growth is outpacing the state, consumer spending and tourism activity are on the rise, incomes are on the upswing, and all aspects of the housing market are performing well. Even so, the effective revenue growth for FY2019 – as compared to the revised numbers for the current year – is a modest three percent. This cautious approach allows for meaningful progress on key priorities, while protecting the county against shifting economic sands. Moreover, it has helped the county to build its reserve position for the next downturn, and in turn, maintain the triple AAA bond rating.

On the expense side, the FY2019 budget continues the ongoing evaluation of existing resources to ensure they are deployed in a purposeful manner. To that end, the budget includes more than $2 million in reductions – headlined by an overhaul of the county’s operational arrangement with the Health Department and turnover savings. In addition, there are numerous examples, such as those described in Community Enhancement and Citizen Information and Resources, where existing resources have been redeployed to address needs versus solely relying on new dollars.

Good fiscal stewardship – and the inherent balance sewn into this plan – also includes consideration of the taxpayer. During the downturn and the subsequent sluggish recovery, Chesterfield taxpayers were called on several times to help stabilize operations and make needed strategic investments, ranging from federal stormwater compliance to added assistance with transportation funding. That said, it has been a stated goal to reciprocate those efforts when possible, and the FY2019 budget presented an opportunity. As discussed in January, all five years of the budget are built on a real estate rate of $0.95, which represents a $0.01 reduction from tax year 2017 and a return to the pre-recession level. When combined with the projected increase in the elderly and disabled program, the FY2019 budget includes approximately $5.3 million in aggregate tax relief. Moving forward, real estate market performance that provides revenue substantially above the baseline forecast will generate additional conversation about the tax rate and/or other expenditure priorities.

We are very mindful that the local real property rate is a benchmark from which we are measured, and that we are higher than our comparative peers in the region. We take seriously the affordability of housing, especially for those elderly populations on fixed incomes, and the business recruitment and expansion decisions for which a real property rate factors are considered. We are also mindful that service needs of the county and schools are covered prior to any revenue impact changes. Accordingly, the approach described here where higher than anticipated property tax base increases are paired with offsetting lower rates to achieve targeted revenue growth is a transparent methodology that will be discussed annually.

A key and often overlooked component of fiscal stewardship is longer-range planning. The FY2019 budget strikes a proper balance between current and future periods: the CIP evaluated financial policy compliance over a 25-year window, adequate funding is included for all long-term employee benefit programs, and, as noted, the general government continues to make substantial progress on major

6 maintenance funding. On a less formulaic front, Chesterfield remains interested in pursuing opportunities to diversify the overall tax base to lighten the load on residential payers and mitigate risk associated with future economic shocks. As part of that effort, Chesterfield is in the process of updating its Comprehensive Plan. In addition, the county will continue to evaluate specific opportunities to grow the commercial tax base. There is no funding in this budget related to pending or future zoning cases, and no part of this forecast envisions any potential revenues from future economic development projects.

Another longstanding component of Chesterfield’s forward-looking approach is the Five-Year Plan which provides general economic direction and begins a conversation regarding future priorities. The Five-Year Plan associated with this budget is thematically consistent with the balanced vision described throughout this letter. The out-year revenue forecast is cautious, but still strong enough to cover all the projected baseline costs for the general government as well as the county’s portion of those same items in the school division. The out-year expenditures – above the baseline – remain focused on the same general strategic goals as FY2019. There is particular focus paid to public safety staffing, the continued transition of the vehicle registration fee to the capital program, and demand pressures in the western portion of the county, headlined by the planned opening of the Magnolia Green Fire Station in FY2020.

Good fiscal stewardship also frames when it is appropriate for Chesterfield County to invest in partnerships with non-profit or other localities. Year-round we look to help non-profits that provide services to our citizens by framing those service models in a way that encourages others to invest in their missions. Many times, these partnerships simply involve our time and talent. Through the utilization of federal Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), such investments are easier and more appropriate to accomplish. As an example, we are hopeful that the region can support Chesterfield’s own Camp Baker in its multi-purpose room addition that will assist the organization in delivering, regionally, a much-needed service.

Investing in the Workforce Even before beginning my time as county administrator, I knew of and had deep admiration for the talented workforce in Chesterfield. Since assuming the role, I have been impressed daily by the hard work and dedication put forth by county staff. There are too many good stories to share in this letter, but suffice to say that it’s a high-quality group of individuals who are deeply passionate about their work and service to this county. Against that backdrop, this budget includes a 2.3 percent pay raise for qualifying general government employees. I believe this investment in the workforce is a necessary element of this balanced budget. Moreover, it should help maintain our competitiveness against our peers; Chesterfield does not endeavor to be the pay leader, but it is critical that we maintain our position in the market. Similarly, the budget includes enough funding such that employees earning less than $40,000 will receive an additional 0.7 percent increase, which helps recognize the value these employees bring to our county and prevent their merit from being overwhelmed by healthcare and other cost of living increases. I want to thank our departmental leaders for helping to position their operating budgets to be mindful of our collective workforce and the importance of investing and retaining great employees.

Summary and Closing Remarks It is an exciting time to be part of the Chesterfield County community. The local economy is strong, the quality of life is high, and the county’s future is very bright. That said, there are always opportunities to do better, and the FY2019 budget has been built to support improvements across the full spectrum of community priorities. The budget works to properly balance all the key needs of the day, which are summarized succinctly in the following table.

7 Percent Priority/Budget Topic Change FY18 vs. FY19 Public Safety +3.2% Infrastructure/Capital +3.3% Schools (recurring baseline) +3.0% Parks/Libraries +2.9% Tax Relief Program +28.2% Community Enhancement/Planning, +16.7% including reallocations Citizen Information and Resources, +26.7% including reallocations All Other Departments +2.2% Total Budget, minus school reserves +3.3%

Controlling for the appropriation and transfer of school reserves, the FY2019 budget is increasing 3.3 percent compared to the prior year. More importantly, the table demonstrates that growth is well balanced with all core elements increasing by right around the three percent mark. The second block in the table illustrates areas where a change in the county’s customer base, such as shifting population trends, has resulted in the need for a more concentrated investment – much of which is made possible by reductions or transfers from elsewhere in the organization, where the year-over-year growth is comparatively lower at just over two percent.

Chesterfield County is on a very positive trajectory and this budget positions the community and organization for continued success. I want to sincerely thank the Board of Supervisors, the School Board, our numerous community and business partners, and county staff who have all committed so much time and energy into this process. It is a high-quality plan because of the year-round collaboration where the budget is built conversation by conversation. These discussions continue with the many community meetings scheduled on this proposal so that we may listen to the citizens so that their thoughts can be reflected in this and future budgets. I very much look forward to our continued partnership and the endless possibilities it has the potential to produce for this amazing county.

Sincerely,

Dr. Joseph P. Casey, County Administrator

 This fund was created with adoption of the FY2017 budget.  The Stormwater Utility Fund is a special revenue fund that was established to operate, maintain, and improve the County’s stormwater management system covering the costs of municipal services directly related to the control and treatment of stormwater. The Utility will be administered and funded separately from revenues in the general fund, ensuring a dedicated revenue source for compliance with the federally mandated Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily load (TMDL) program.  The Stormwater Utility fee is applied to all developed properties in the County. All developed residential parcels are subject to a flat base rate of $25. Condominiums and townhomes will be charged a flat rate of 30% of the base rate ($25) per dwelling unit. Developed nonresidential property will be charged based on the total amount of impervious area on the site. Nonresidential properties that have Best Management Practices (BMPs) or participate in pollution reduction programs will receive a partial credit against the stormwater utility fee.  For additional information regarding the County’s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer (MS4) Permit and the TMDL, please reference the Chesapeake Bay TMDL Project Plan in the Capital Improvement Program.

Chesterfield County, VA 95 FY2019 Budget Departmental Summaries Environmental Engineering Environmental Engineering

Description The Department of Environmental Engineering is divided into two functional divisions: Development and Watershed Management. The Development division consists of plans review, inspections and floodplain management, and customer service. Watershed Management consists of drainage maintenance operations, BMP maintenance and inspections, water quality, and street signing. This structure’s efficient design allows the Department to implement the Virginia Stormwater Management Program (VSMP) and the County’s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer (MS-4) permit.

The Development division strives to meet federal and state mandates, as well as County requirements, for administration and inspection of plans of development. In addition, the Development division review building permits for erosion and sediment control. In Fy2015, the Department assumed additional responsibilities associated with the State mandated VSMP, as regulated by the State Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). In FY2015, the VSMP program was successfully implemented at the County level.

Activities in Watershed Management include a mix of traditional environmental functions, such as drainage maintenance, BMP maintenance, and street signing, combined with the management of County’s MS-4 permit. The County has been a MS-4 Phase I locality operating under a Virginia Pollution Discharge Elimination System (VPDES) permit, and in December 2014 the County’s MS-4 permit was issued by DEQ. The new permit imposes a significant number of new mandates primarily associated with the Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL). These will have significant operational impacts on the division’s activities as well as the County’s Capital Improvement Plan.

Chesterfield County, VA 196 FY2019 Budget Departmental Summaries Environmental Engineering

FY2019 Budget Highlights and Future Outlook • Environmental Engineering is responsible for compliance with the County’s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit which requires all Best Management Practices (BMP) facilities be inspected and have operational maintenance on an annual basis. • Due to significant growth in this area, the FY2019 budget includes funding for two full-time maintenance workers, as well as seasonal part-time funding. This funding will allow for two five-person maintenance crews and seasonal mowers to ensure compliance with the MS4 permit. • As an offset to the increased costs of BMP maintenance, a ordinance change was reviewed by the Planning Commission in April 2017 and approved by the Board of Supervisors in May 2018. This change will increase the fee revenue for both residential and commercial development. • The FY2019 budget includes a 2.3 percent merit increase. • Additionally, as a result of increased work load across several of the departments programs, four part- time positions were approved after the adoption of the FY2018 budget. Funding of the full-time and part- time positions, as well as the merit increase contribute to the 6 percent increase in personnel costs. • Due to increased workload, operating costs include a five percent increase for operational maintenance materials and supplies.

2. [email protected] (NPDES Coordinator in Richmond District) 3. [email protected] (HazMat Manager in Richmond District) 4. [email protected] (IDDE and MS4 Trainer in Central Office...she is the main recipient of the IDDEReports account) b. VDOT discussed that they only had six IDID reports in CY 2017 and only 2 so far in CY 2018 for the Richmond District and all discussed clarification on when incidents should be reported to VDOT. i. Issues handled at the local level, regardless of resolution status, when impacting VDOT’s MS4, should report the incidents to VDOT. ii. When residencies or VDOT area HQs report IDIDs, refer to VDOT. c. High Risk Industrial Facilities i. County discussed inspection of industrial facilities at point of connection with VDOT’s MS4. VDOT requested inspection information for those facilities connected to their MS4 that the County has inspected. ii. Action Item: Provide inspection information for those facilities that connect to VDOT’s MS4. d. Land Use Permits i. VDOT discussed that facilities connected to their MS4 should have a Land Use Permit (LUP) that can be revoked in the event of an illicit discharge from a commercial or industrial facility. Group looked at an example of an LUP and its enforcement authority. One of the few areas VDOT has direct enforcement powers that can be used to assist localities or other agencies in eliminating illicit discharges. 4) Post-Construction Stormwater Management Plans a. VDOT, through the issuance of IIM258 (see PY4 file), will have increased role in QA review of plans and construction inspections with respect to BMPs that VDOT will acquire operation and maintenance of following construction completion on locally administered VDOT projects. b. VDOT discussed BMP bioretention media testing of soils due to contractor’s constraints in obtaining the appropriate soils for these facilities. 5) TMDL a. VDOT provided update on planning and implementation of their TMDL status. They have met their 5% goal and there are many projects moving forward into the fiscal year. b. VDOT planning BMP retrofits on 288.

1 2018 Report of Water Quality Observations

Executive Summary

This report presents the biological, habitat and in-stream data collected by the Chesterfield County Department of Environmental Engineering - Water Quality Section staff from January through December of 2018. This report satisfies the requirements for the County’s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit No.VA0088609 Part I.C.1 Biological Stream Monitoring and Part I.C.2 In-Stream Monitoring. Five stream sites were investigated during the year to evaluate the existing conditions and to assess for long-term water quality trends and patterns.

Bioassessment and habitat monitoring occurred during spring (March) and autumn (October) following the protocols outlined in the USEPA’s 1999 Rapid Bioassessment Protocols for Use in Streams and Wadeable Rivers (Second Edition). A summary of the bioassessment tiers of the monitored sites indicate that the majority of samples (n=8) scored in the lowest VSCI tier “Severe Stress” and two samples scored in the “Stress” tier in 2018. Habitat scores indicated “Non- Supporting” conditions during five surveys, “Partially Supporting” conditions during three observations and “Supporting” conditions during two observations.

In-stream monitoring occurred every other month starting in January 2018. Stream physical parameters were measured in situ and included the following permit specified parameters: pH, dissolved oxygen and temperature. Water samples for the remaining eight permit-required parameters were collected and transferred to the county’s contract laboratory for analysis. All annual means of dissolved oxygen, temperature and pH were within acceptable state water quality standard ranges during 2018. E. coli counts indicated that all sites experienced frequent elevated concentrations throughout the year. Each site demonstrated a degree of nutrient enrichment of either nitrogen or phosphorus species.

The bioassessment, habitat and chemical water quality observations were compiled, analyzed and classified into four quartiles to provide for the interpretation and trending of water quality for each stream site. The results of the multivariable approach used to analyze the data yielded two streams in the first (lowest) quartile (Pocoshock Creek and Tributary to Proctors Creek) and three streams (Tributary to Falling Creek, Kingsland Creek and Powhite Creek) in the second quartile. When compared with 2017, the condition of one stream site improved (Tributary to Falling Creek) and all other stream sites maintained their quartile comparability. The most commonly observed impacts to the streams affecting the quartile classification were impaired bioassessment scores, habitat scores and the frequency of elevated E. coli concentrations.

Each of the streams monitored was assessed for its percent meeting state water quality standards. Parameters measured for meeting the referenced state water quality standards were pH, dissolved oxygen, water temperature measurements and E. coli concentrations. Percentages for meeting the state water quality standards among the sites ranged from 79.2 – 95.8% in 2018. Exceedances in the state water quality standard for pH and E. coli concentration were the most common. Three of the five monitored sites are currently listed on VADEQ’s final 2016 305(b)/303(d) Water Quality Assessment Integrated Report identifying impaired waters of the state. Strategies for addressing the water quality standards in these streams will be developed by VADEQ.

For this program element, five stream sites were investigated during the year to evaluate conditions and to assess long-term water quality trends and patterns. The sites were monitored on a bi-monthly basis for in-stream chemistry and twice per year (March and October) for benthic macroinvertebrates and habitat.

Figure 1. Water Quality Monitoring Sites for 2015-2018

Sites were selected in five of the county’s major watersheds with a dual goal of meeting permit required monitoring and assisting toward meeting goals outlined in the County’s Chesapeake Bay TMDL project plan. The monitoring conducted in 2018 represented the fourth consecutive year of sampling at these five sites.

Protocols

Biological Stream Monitoring Protocols

Sampling for benthic macroinvertebrates was conducted at five established monitoring sites in Chesterfield County during spring (March) and autumn (October) and followed the guidelines outlined in the USEPA’s 1999 Rapid Bioassessment Protocols for Use in Streams and Wadeable Rivers (Second Edition). A total of twenty jabs and/or kicks with a D-frame dip net were conducted along an approximate 100-meter sample reach relative to the proportion of represented in-stream habitat. Aquatic organisms entrained in the net were then separated from course particulate organic matter in the field by use of a series of sieve buckets. Large, easily identified animals such as crayfish and vertebrates were noted on field sheets and returned to the stream. Samples were placed in double polyethylene freezer bags, labeled and preserved in the field with 95% ethanol.

Upon return to the laboratory, samples were stored at <4.0oC in the laboratory refrigerator. Samples were washed through a #30 sieve with tap water to remove ethanol and placed in a white- bottomed tray. All visible benthic macroinvertebrates were removed from the debris, counted and placed in a 60 ml labeled glass jar containing 95% ethanol. Benthic macroinvertebrates were then sorted, identified to the lowest possible taxonomic level (most often genus) and enumerated using a 40x binocular microscope. Sample composition for each site was entered into EXCEL spreadsheets and compiled for data analysis via the Virginia Stream Condition Index (VSCI). The VSCI is in current use by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality and consists of the following eight core metrics:

• Total Taxa Richness (variety of different organisms present) • EPT Taxa Richness (summarizes the taxa richness of pollution-sensitive species) • Percent Ephemeroptera (proportion of pollution sensitive mayflies) • Percent Plecoptera+Trichoptera - Hydropsychidae species (proportion of pollution sensitive stoneflies and caddisflies) • Percent Chironomidae (proportion of pollution tolerant midge larvae) • Percent Scrapers (percent of macrobenthos that “scrape” their food from a substrate surface) • Percent Top Two Dominant Taxa (a measure of community balance) • Modified Family Level Hilsenhoff Biotic Index (assigns a single value from 0 to 10 to describe a benthic macroinvertebrate community’s tolerance to organic pollutants with 0 being the least tolerant and 10 the most tolerant)

Benthic macroinvertebrate sample composition was entered into the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality’s Ecological Data Application System (EDAS) database for analysis comparable to the state’s biological monitoring efforts. After entry, a rarefication algorithm was used to normalize each data set to a random sample of 110 organisms for each site from which the VSCI metric scores were calculated. The final VSCI value was the mean of the eight separate calculated unit-less metric scores. From this VSCI value, “Aquatic Life Use Tiers” were discerned (Table 1) and applied for categorizing biological stream condition.

Habitat Metric Calculations and Analysis

The EPA’s Habitat Assessment for Low Gradient Streams has been used since 1999 to describe the instream and riparian characteristics of monitored sites in Chesterfield County. This approach assigns scores to 10 individual parameters subsequently summed to obtain a final overall value. Worksheets detailing these parameters are completed in the field by two independent analysts. The resulting parameter scores of each analyst are subsequently averaged and summed. From 1999 to 2005, average scores from a reference watershed (Swift Creek) were analyzed using cumulative percentile plots to determine ranges for assigning impairment categories for the county. A quadrisection approach was used based on upper and lower 25th percentiles and the median value to generate four impairment categories (Table 2). Total habitat scores obtained in 2018 were compared against these criteria to categorize the collective condition of the monitored stream’s in- stream and riparian habitat.

In-Stream Monitoring Protocols

Five stream sites in Chesterfield County were sampled every other month starting in January 2018. Stream physical parameters were measured in situ by use of a calibrated Hydrolab® MS5 Minisonde water quality multiprobe in conjunction with a Surveyor 4a data logger system. Permit specified parameters measured in the field included pH, dissolved oxygen and temperature. Water samples for the remaining eight permit-required parameters were obtained from the bank of each site just below the surface of the water by hand. Appropriate pre-labeled containers specific to each parameter were provided by the county’s contract laboratory. Samples were immediately placed in a cooler on ice for transfer to the contract laboratory where sample analysis was conducted. Care was taken in the field and during transfer to adhere to analytical holding times for specific chemistries. Chain of custody forms provided by the contract laboratory were

completed prior to delivery to the laboratory and signed at sample transfer by each party. Copies were then archived in the department files for documentation and reference. Resulting data was reviewed, verified and entered into EXCEL spreadsheets for compilation and statistical analysis. Note: for values reported as less than the method detection limit of the contract laboratory, a value one-half the reporting limit was substituted and applied for statistical analysis. A summary of the parameters and analytical methods is outlined in Table 3.

Trending Analysis Protocol

A multivariable approach integrating select annual mean chemistry values and seasonal bioassessment and habitat scores was established in 2015 to provide for the interpretation and trending of water quality for each stream site. This analysis compiled the bioassessment and habitat categorical data, and chemical observations with a VADEQ water quality standard, into a single value. The approach involved reviewing the seasonal Virginia Stream Condition Index and habitat scores for each site and assigning a numerical value to the final categorical assessment. The values ranged from zero to three and increased according to assessment (e.g. “Severe Stress” = 0; “Stress” = 1, etc.). The annual mean of water chemistry parameters that had documented Virginia water quality criteria (pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature and E. coli) were assigned a value reflective of whether or not they met the state standard (e.g. met standard = 1; exceeded standard = 0). All annual and seasonal observations and resulting numerical scores were entered into an EXCEL spreadsheet where the values were summed and compared to an ideal value. The final percent comparison of the stream’s value to the ideal was then categorically identified by

6 2018 Report of Water Quality Observations quartile to express overall relative water quality. Quartiles ranged from one to four. The first quartile corresponded to 0-25% comparability to ideal with the remaining three quartiles following the same 25% incremental pattern.

Biological Monitoring Observations:

Date VSCI Score VSCI Tier Habitat Score Habitat Category 03/28/18 15.7 Severe Stress 138 Partially Supporting 10/15/18 45.6 Stress 115 Non-Supporting

The 2018 bioassessment tier for the spring benthic macroinvertebrate sampling indicated a “Severe Stress” condition and the autumn sampling indicated a “Stress” condition. The autumn condition was an improvement from the previous years’ bioassessment tiers. The VSCI score for the spring (15.7) was the lowest observed among the sites and throughout the year. The VSCI score for the autumn (45.6) was the second highest score observed among the sites and throughout the year. Total taxa richness was marginal during the spring sampling (n=7) and autumn (n=11). The spring had zero EPT taxa represented in the sample, negatively affecting the percentage of Ephemeroptera (0.0%) and Plecoptera + Trichoptera - Hydropsychidae (PT-H) metric (0.0%). The autumn had three EPT taxa represented in the sample, increasing the percentage of Ephemeroptera (16.4%) but not the PT-H metric (0.0%). Scrapers were sparse in the spring (3.6%) and abundant in the autumn (29.1%); consistent with the scraper abundance results observed in the previous year. The percent Chironomidae composition was more abundant in the spring (86.4%) than the autumn (33.6%). The percentage comprised of the top two dominant taxa was more elevated during the spring (90.9%) than the autumn (52.7%). The spring Hilsenhoff Biotic Index was 5.9 and the autumn score was 5.3; the scores indicated a community comprised largely of pollution tolerant organisms.

8 2018 Report of Water Quality Observations

The spring habitat assessment score indicated a “Partially Supporting” condition and the autumn habitat assessment scores indicated a “Non-Supporting” condition. The difference between the two sampling events were minor shifts in the habitat structure with most categories slightly declining from the spring to the autumn resulting in an overall quality category difference. The streambed was comprised primarily of sand and clay with suboptimal epifaunal substrate cover. The majority of pools were large and deep with fine sediment deposition prevalent throughout the site’s length. The channel flow status was optimal in both the spring and autumn. The stream’s channel did not show evidence of historic channelization, however, it lacked sinuosity and large portions of the reach were comprised of straight sections. Both stream banks were mostly stable with moderate vegetation but exhibited visible areas of scour and erosion. The riparian area depths along both banks were slightly impacted due the homes surrounding the stream.

In-Stream Monitoring Observations:

Flow was observed during five surveys and low flow identified once during the year with clear water seen during five surveys and turbid water noted once. Periphyton was frequently observed during site visits with observations of iron bacteria, algae and frogs noted. Samples were obtained from the left bank at an average depth of 0.09 meters. All annual means of the chemical parameters were within acceptable ranges. The measured parameters of dissolved oxygen and temperature were within state water quality standards throughout the year. There was one exceedance of the pH state standard range in January (5.8 units). The annual mean E. coli concentration was 324 MPN/100mL, an average increase from the previous year, with two observations exceeding the state water quality standard. The annual mean total suspended solids (TSS) concentration was 12.6 mg/L supporting observations of mostly clear water throughout the year and was the highest observed total suspended solids mean observed among the sites. The annual mean ammonia concentration (0.09 mg/L as N) was the highest mean ammonia concentration observed among sites during the year. The annual mean for nitrate+nitrite (0.25 mg/L as N) was the lowest observed among all sites and the Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN) annual mean was 0.42 mg/L as N; both observations were an increase from the previous year. The annual mean total nitrogen value of 0.67 mg/L as N was increased from the previous year. The annual mean dissolved phosphorus concentration was 0.02 mg/L as P and the total phosphorus annual mean concentration was 0.03 mg/L as P. Both phosphorus concentrations were among the lowest observed among sites.

Pocoshock Creek is a perennial tributary of Falling Creek and lies in the Piedmont region of Chesterfield County. At this reach, Pocoshock Creek is a first order stream with a mix of residential and commercial land use in its watershed.

Biological Monitoring Observations:

Date VSCI Score VSCI Tier Habitat Score Habitat Category 03/28/18 18.6 Severe Stress 128 Non-Supporting 10/16/18 37.8 Severe Stress 113 Non-Supporting

The 2018 bioassessment tier for the spring and autumn benthic macroinvertebrate sampling indicated a “Severe Stress” condition, consistent with the previous three years’ observations. The spring VSCI score (18.6) was the second lowest score observed among sites and throughout the year. Total taxa richness was lower during the spring sampling event (n=6) than during the autumn sampling (n=10). Both the spring (n=2) and autumn (n=3) sampling had similar EPT taxa representation in the sample with the spring recording a lower percentage of Ephemeroptera (2.7%) represented in the sample than the autumn (12.7%). The PT-H metric in both the spring and autumn (0.0% and 0.0%) were identical. The percentage of scrapers present was greater in the autumn (11.8%) than in the spring (2.7%). Chironomids composed the majority of the spring sample with 81.8% present, but their composition percentage declined by more than half in the autumn to 30.0%. The sample percentage comprised of the top two dominant taxa was higher in the spring (88.2%) than the autumn (63.6%) and was attributable to the decline in the percent Chironomidae composition. Both the spring (6.1) and autumn (5.7) Hilsenhoff Biotic Index scores indicated a community comprised largely of pollution tolerant organisms throughout the year.

The spring and autumn habitat assessment scores indicated a “Non-Supporting” condition. The streambed was primarily composed of sand and fine sediment embedding large cobble and gravel. Fine sediment deposition was prevalent throughout the site’s length with greater than 50% of the

10 2018 Report of Water Quality Observations stream bottom affected by sediment deposition resulting in the creation of bars and benches along the banks. The epifaunal substrate cover appeared suboptimal in the spring and marginal in autumn. The majority of pools were large and deep with few shallow pools. The channel flow status was optimal during both seasons. The stream’s channel did not show evidence of historic channelization. Along the length of the reach, the stream banks exhibited areas of heavy scour and erosion and were sparsely vegetated. Because of increased watershed runoff from near historic rainfalls, several trees along the bank fell into the stream. The course of the stream was not altered, but the riffle pool sequence has significantly altered from the initial year of monitoring due to bank trees falling into the stream over past two years. The riparian areas along both banks were relatively undisturbed with natural walking paths present throughout.

In-Stream Monitoring Observations:

Flow was observed consistently throughout the year with clear water seen during all surveys. Periphyton was commonly observed during site visits with observations of algae, iron bacteria and frogs noted. Samples were obtained from the left bank at an average depth of 0.10 meters. All annual means of the chemical parameters were within acceptable ranges. The measured parameters of dissolved oxygen and temperature were within state water quality standards throughout the year. There was one exceedance of the pH state standard range in January (5.9 units). E. coli concentrations exceeded the state water quality standard two times resulting in the annual mean concentration (305 MPN/100mL) exceeding the state water quality standard and increased from the previous year. The annual mean total suspended solids (<1.0 mg/L) was the lowest annual mean observed among all sites and supported observations of clear water throughout the year. The annual mean ammonia concentration (0.03 mg/L as N) was the among the lowest ammonia means observed among all sites. The annual mean for nitrate+nitrite was 0.45 mg/L as N and the TKN mean was 0.33 mg/L as N; both were increased from the prior year. The annual mean total nitrogen value (0.78 mg/L as N) indicated the stream experienced a degree of nitrogen enrichment throughout the year. The annual mean dissolved phosphorus concentration was 0.02 mg/L as P. The total phosphorus annual mean concentration (0.03 mg/L as P) was the lowest observed among sites. Both phosphorus concentrations were among the lowest observed among sites.

Biological Monitoring Observations:

Date VSCI Score VSCI Tier Habitat Score Habitat Category 03/29/18 39.1 Severe Stress 142 Partially Supporting 10/17/18 57.6 Stress 157 Supporting

The 2018 bioassessment tier for the spring sampling indicated a “Severe Stress” condition and the autumn sampling indicated a “Stress” condition; consistent with the previous two years’ observations. The VSCI score for the autumn (57.6) was the highest observed among all sites and throughout the year. Total taxa richness was moderate during the spring (n=12) and good during the autumn (n=17); both were the highest score for each respective season. The spring had four EPT taxa represented in the sample and the autumn survey had five EPT taxa. The EPT taxa richness was more strongly reflected in the autumn percentage of Ephemeroptera (10.0%) than in the spring (2.7%). Additionally, the EPT taxa richness was positively reflected in the PT-H metric (7.3% both spring and autumn) and was the site with the greatest representation of this metric. The autumn sampling event had a robust percentage of scrapers present (35.5%) and the spring scraper percentage (22.7%) was also strong. The Chironomidae percentage during the autumn sampling (4.5%) was the lowest percentage observed among the sites while the spring sampling yielded a higher (57.3%) percentage. The percentage comprised of the top two dominant taxa was greater during both the spring (71.8%) than the autumn (54.5%) mirroring the effects of the Chironomidae percentage metric. The Hilsenhoff Biotic Index scores (5.3 and 5.1, spring and autumn respectively) indicated a community comprised mostly of pollution tolerant organisms.

12 2018 Report of Water Quality Observations

The spring habitat assessment score indicated a “Partially Supporting” condition and the autumn assessment indicated a “Supporting” condition. The difference between the two sampling events were minor shifts in the habitat structure with most categories slightly improving from the spring to autumn resulting in a quality category difference. The stream exhibited optimal substrate with firm sand, gravel and cobble present through most of the reach and suboptimal epifaunal habitat for the maintenance of the benthic macroinvertebrate community. Sediment deposition was optimal throughout the year with little to no enlargement of point bars or benches within the channel. The majority of the pools were large and deep throughout the year. The channel flow status was optimal with water reaching the base of both banks. The channel sinuosity remained suboptimal-marginal with long straight sections in the reach. The stream was in its natural state with no recent channel alterations. There were indications however of historic channel alterations that may have occurred when the county sewer trunk line was installed. Both stream banks were vegetated with minimal signs of scour or erosion. The riparian area along the left bank was narrow because of an overgrown abandoned paved parking area and the right bank riparian area appeared mostly undisturbed.

In-Stream Monitoring Observations:

Flow was observed consistently throughout the year. Water clarity exhibited variability with clear conditions present on three surveys and stained and turbid conditions each observed once during the year. Periphyton and algae were commonly observed during site visits. Samples were obtained from the left bank at an average depth of 0.11 meters. All annual means of the chemical parameters were within acceptable ranges. The measured parameters of pH, dissolved oxygen and temperature were within the state water quality standards throughout the year. E. coli concentrations exceeded the state water quality standard four times during the year with the annual mean concentration (757 MPN/100mL) exceeding the state standard. The annual mean total suspended solids (2.5 mg/L) value supported the frequent observations of clear water during the year. The annual mean ammonia concentration was 0.05 mg/L as N. The annual mean nitrate+nitrite concentration was 0.59 mg/L as N, the TKN annual mean was 0.46 mg/L as N and the annual mean total nitrogen value was 1.05 mg/L as N. The annual mean nitrate+nitrite concentration, TKN and total nitrogen concentration were the highest observed among all sites. Each of these nitrogen parameters indicated the stream experienced nitrogen enrichment throughout the year. The annual mean dissolved phosphorus concentration was 0.02 mg/L as P and the total phosphorus mean concentration was 0.06 mg/L as P.

The 2018 bioassessment tier for both the spring and autumn benthic macroinvertebrate sampling indicated a “Severe Stress” condition; consistent with the previous three years’ observations. Total taxa richness was marginal during the spring sampling event (n=10) and the autumn sampling event (n=11). Both the spring and autumn had three EPT taxa represented in the sample. The low EPT taxa richness quantities were reflected in the percentage of Ephemeroptera collected in both seasons (spring, 1.8% and autumn, 3.6%). Both seasons’ samples were absent a percentage of the PT-H metric (0.0%, spring and autumn). The spring sampling event had a low percentage of scrapers present (12.7%) with a slight increase noted in the autumn scraper percentage (15.5%). Chironomids composed the majority of the spring sample (72.7%), but their composition percentage declined significantly in the autumn to 11.8%. The percentage comprised of the top two dominant taxa was higher in the spring (83.6%) than during the autumn (60.9%), trending with the Chironomidae concentrations. The spring (5.7) and autumn (5.5) Hilsenhoff Biotic Index scores were similar indicating a community comprised primarily of pollution tolerant organisms.

The spring habitat assessment score indicated a “Supporting” condition and the autumn assessment indicated a “Partially Supporting” condition. This site had the highest rated habitat assessment in the spring among all sites and the second highest in the autumn. The difference between the two sampling events were minor shifts in the habitat structure with most categories slightly declining from the spring to autumn resulting in an overall quality category difference. The stream reach

14 2018 Report of Water Quality Observations exhibited suboptimal substrate and in-stream habitat characteristics for the maintenance of a benthic macroinvertebrate community. Pool substrate was comprised largely of firm sand, gravel and some soft sand/mud with the majority of pools large and deep in the spring and shallow pools during autumn. Channel flow status was optimal throughout the year with water reaching the base of both banks and sinuosity was excellent. The stream was in its natural state with no recent or historic alterations. Both banks were stable and well vegetated with minimal erosion or scour. The riparian areas were wide and largely undisturbed with a mix of older hardwood trees and scattered pines.

In-Stream Monitoring Observations:

Flow was observed consistently throughout the year with clear water seen during all surveys. Periphyton was commonly observed during site visits along with emergent plants and frogs occasionally noted. Samples were obtained from the right bank at an average depth of 0.12 meters. All annual means of the chemical parameters were within acceptable ranges. The measured parameters of dissolved oxygen, pH and temperature were all within state water quality standards throughout the year. E. coli concentrations exceeded the state water quality standard during one monitoring event resulting in the annual mean concentration (286 MPN/100mL) being the lowest observed among all sites. The annual mean total suspended solids concentration (6.2 mg/L) supported the observation of clear water during the year. The annual mean ammonia concentration was 0.04 mg/L as N and was the lowest observed among sites. The annual mean nitrate+nitrite observation was 0.55 mg/L as N and the TKN annual mean was 0.39 mg/L as N. The annual mean total nitrogen value was 0.94 mg/L as N. Most of these nitrogen parameters indicated the stream experienced nitrogen enrichment throughout the year. The annual mean dissolved phosphorus concentration was 0.02 mg/L as P and the total phosphorus annual mean concentration was 0.04 mg/L as P.

Biological Monitoring Observations:

Date VSCI Score VSCI Tier Habitat Score Habitat Category 03/29/18 20.9 Severe Stress 107 Non-Supporting 10/17/18 32.1 Severe Stress 108 Non-Supporting

The 2018 bioassessment tier for both the spring and autumn benthic macroinvertebrate sampling indicated a “Severe Stress” condition; consistent with the previous three years’ observations. Total taxa richness was moderate during the spring (n=11) and good during the autumn (n=14); overall this metric was the highest among the streams consistently in the Severe Stress tier. The spring sampling had two EPT taxa represented in the sample and the autumn also had two EPT taxa, negatively affecting the percentage of Ephemeroptera (0.0%, spring and autumn) and the PT- H (2.7%, spring and autumn) metric. A greater percentage of scrapers was collected in the autumn (11.8%) than in the spring (2.7%). Chironomids comprised the majority of both the spring sample (87.3%) and autumn sample (57.3%). The percentage comprised of the top two dominant taxa during the spring (90.0%) and the autumn (69.1%) reflected the dominance of the percent Chironomidae composition. The Hilsenhoff Biotic Index scores were poor, with the spring score (6.0) similar to the autumn score (6.1). This site had the highest HBI scores observed among the sites yet still indicated a community comprised largely of pollution tolerant organisms.

The spring and autumn habitat assessment scores indicated a “Non-Supporting” condition. This site had the lowest rated habitat assessments among all sites. The streambed was comprised primarily of sand, clay and some gravel with marginal epifaunal substrate cover. Pool substrate was characterized by a mixture of soft mud and silt with little vegetation, and the reach contained

16 2018 Report of Water Quality Observations a preponderance of shallow pools. Fine sediment deposition was prevalent throughout the reach length. The channel flow status was optimal in the spring and suboptimal in autumn. The stream channel did not show significant evidence of historic channelization and sinuosity was adequate. The channel was deeply incised. Both stream banks exhibited areas of heavy scour and erosion and had minimal vegetative protection. The riparian area depth along the left bank was mostly undisturbed, and the right bank riparian area was impacted by a county sewer easement and a walking trail running parallel to the lower portion of the reach.

In-Stream Monitoring Observations:

Flow was observed the majority of the year with two observations of low flow in May and July. Clear water observed during all monitoring events. Periphyton was commonly observed during site visits with additional observations of iron bacteria, bacterial sheens and frogs noted throughout the year. Samples were obtained from the left bank at an average depth of 0.06 meters. All annual means of the chemical parameters were within acceptable ranges. The measured parameters for dissolved oxygen and temperature were within state water quality standards throughout the year. The pH exceeded state water quality standard range during two visits: January (5.1 units) and March (5.3 units) and the resulting annual mean pH was 6.2 units. E. coli concentrations exceeded the state water quality standard during three visits resulting in the annual mean concentration (280 MPN/100mL). The annual mean total suspended solids concentration was 3.3 mg/L, supporting observations of clear water throughout the year. The annual mean ammonia concentration was 0.05 mg/L as N. The annual mean for nitrate+nitrite (0.31 mg/L as N) was the second lowest observed among all sites, and the TKN annual mean was 0.34 mg/L as N. The annual mean total nitrogen value was 0.65 mg/L as N, the lowest observed among sites. The annual mean dissolved phosphorus concentration was 0.02 mg/L as P and the total phosphorus mean concentration was 0.07 mg/L as P, the highest total phosphorus concentration observed among sites.

Discussion

In 2018, five stream sites representing 40.6 rivers miles were assessed in five major watersheds within the county. These watersheds included Falling Creek, Pocoshock Creek, Kingsland Creek, Powhite Creek and Proctors Creek. Each of these watersheds drains to the James River.

The results of the multivariable approach used to synthesize the bioassessment, habitat and chemical data yielded three streams in the second quartile and two streams in the lowest, first quartile (Table 4).

The condition at Tributary to Falling Creek (FC-02) improved in 2018 to the second quartile (31.3%) from the first quartile (18.8%) in 2017; the first change observed at this site since monitoring began in 2015. The improvement in the water quality condition can be attributed to improvements noted in the spring habitat score and the autumn benthic macroinvertebrate score. The water chemistry scores of both seasons remained consistent during the four-year monitoring period. Both Kingsland Creek (KGC-01) and Tributary to Falling Creek (FC-02) are the only monitoring sites to demonstrate variation in its water quality quartile rankings over time. The remaining stream sites have maintained their quartile comparability for the duration of the monitoring cycle reflecting only minor changes in the percent comparability from the previous years.

Table 4. Monitoring site overall water quality comparability to reference condition.

Powhite Creek (POW-05) scored in the second quartile for the fourth consecutive year with 37.5% comparability to reference. Kingsland Creek (KGC-01) scored in the second quartile (43.8%) for the second consecutive year. The chemical water quality at both sites was good and met each of the state standards for pH, dissolved oxygen, and temperature, but neither met the standard for E. coli. The bioassessment score during the autumn indicated the benthic macroinvertebrate community was under “Severe Stress” at both sites. However, the Kingsland Creek benthic macroinvertebrate community improved in the fall with a “Stress” ranking thus accounting for the slight percentage difference. The habitat scores for these sites were good, scoring as either “Supporting” or “Partially Supporting” during the year. The strong chemical score and habitat score were counter-balanced by the poor bioassessment scores resulting in the second quartile assessment.

First quartile comparability was observed at two sites in 2018: Pocoshock Creek (FC-11; 18.8%) and Tributary to Proctors Creek (PRC-11; 18.8%). These streams had several attributes in common that resulted in the low comparability scoring. The bioassessment tier was calculated as “Severe Stress” for each of these streams during the spring and autumn. The habitat scores for both the spring and autumn indicated a “Non-Supporting” habitat both sites. The pH, temperature

18 2018 Report of Water Quality Observations and dissolved oxygen water chemistries at both monitoring sites were acceptable. However, repeated exceedances of the state water quality standard in E. coli concentrations negatively affected both the overall assessments. The combination of low bioassessment scores, habitat scores and exceedances of the E. coli state water quality standards resulted in the first quartile assessment of these streams.

Each of the streams monitored was assessed for its percent in meeting state water quality standards (Table 5). The percentage was calculated for pH, dissolved oxygen, water temperature and E. coli concentration.

Table 5. Monitoring site annual percent meeting state water quality standards.

The highest percentage of measured parameters for meeting state water quality standards in 2018 was 95.8% for Powhite Creek (POW-05) and the lowest percentage (79.2%) was observed at two sites: Kingsland Creek (KGC-01) and Tributary to Proctors Creek (PRC-11). One stream site Tributary to Falling Creek (FC-02) saw an improvement in meeting state water quality standards and three streams (Pocoshock Creek, FC-11, Kingsland Creek, KGC-01, Tributary to Proctors Creek, PRC-11) saw a decline. All of the streams met the dissolved oxygen and temperature standard throughout the year. Three streams had at least one exceedance of the state pH standard range: Tributary to Falling Creek (FC-02, one observation), Pocoshock Creek (FC-11, one observation) and Tributary to Proctors Creek (PRC-11, two observations). The remaining exceedances were of the E. coli concentration standard. VADEQ criteria for identifying a stream as impaired for bacterial contamination is that no more than 10% of samples taken should exceed the standard of 235 CFUs/100mL. Based on the state standard, all the streams examined this year would have exceeded the bacteria standard because each surpassed the E. coli concentration standard at least once. Kingsland Creek KGC-01 exceeded the E. coli standard during four of the sampling events, the highest frequency among all sites. The remaining sites had between one and three E. coli concentrations greater than the state standard (Tributary to Falling Creek, FC-02, n=2, Pocoshock Creek, FC-11, n=2, Powhite Creek, POW-05, n=1 and Tributary to Proctors Creek, PRC-11, n=3) during the year with September being the month with the highest rate of exceedances.

Three of the five monitored sites are listed on the VADEQ’s final 2016 305(b)/303(d) Water Quality Assessment Integrated Report that identifies impaired waters of the state (Table 6). The Kingsland Creek (KGC-01) site is listed as impaired for both aquatic life and recreational contact. The Powhite Creek (POW-05) monitoring site is listed as impaired for not supporting aquatic life. The Pocoshock Creek (FC-11) monitoring site is listed as impaired for recreational contact. The remaining two sites, Tributary to Falling Creek (FC-02) and Tributary to Proctors Creek (PRC-11) are both catalogued under Impaired Category 2B, indicating that these are waters of concerns, but

19 2018 Report of Water Quality Observations more information is needed prior to inclusion on the impaired waters list. Strategies for addressing the water quality standards in these streams will be developed by VADEQ.

Conclusion

The report presents the data from the fourth of five monitoring years required by the county’s MS4 permit. Some change in stream condition from 2015 to 2018 were observed during this permit year. The changes may be due to natural and temporal variations that occur in stream systems. As more data on these stream sites is collected during this permit cycle, any trends or changes observed will continue to be evaluated. These sites were selected in part due to their potential as stream restoration locations and, as such, these stream locations were known to exhibit clear anthropogenic impacts. These impacts range from habitat degradation along the banks, decreased aquatic life and in-stream chemistry effects as the result of run-off and erosion from the contributing watershed areas. The overall multivariate assessment of these streams indicates stream ecosystems in distress with poorly rated biotic communities, habitat and chemistry. Continued assessment of these streams during the permit cycle will allow for future results of restoration efforts to be monitored and assessed.
