A Little History • January 24, 1973 – the Councils of the Cities of Chesapeake, Franklin, Nansemond, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk and Virginia Beach and the Counties of Isle of Wight and Southampton agreed to form a water authority and incorporated – its purpose was to develop a supply of potable water for the long range needs of Southeastern Virginia – named “The Southeastern Water Authority of Virginia” • January 15, 1976 – Articles of incorporation were amended to add to its purpose development of a regional garbage and trash collection and disposal system – name changed to the “Southeastern Public Service Authority of Virginia,” or SPSA, for short • July 15, 1983 – Articles of incorporation again amended – dropped development of a water supply from its purpose and focused exclusively on solid waste

History Continued • August 24, 1983 – Southampton County signs a “Use and Support Agreement” with SPSA agreeing to deliver 95% of all solid waste generated within the county to the Franklin, Boykins or Ivor Transfer Stations for a term ending 30 years from the start-up date of the RDF processing plant in Portsmouth and pay the tipping fees per ton established by the Authority. Current agreement expires January 24, 2018 • April 7, 2000 – General Assembly adopts legislation giving SPSA perpetual existence but allowing members to withdraw under certain circumstances

Two Hats • Member • Customer – Until we withdraw or – Until January 24, 2018 the Authority dissolves itself – May withdraw by filing notice with the SCC, BUT still obligated to the terms of the Use and Support Agreement thru 2018

§ 1. That the Southeastern Public Service Authority of Virginia created by the Cities of Chesapeake, Franklin, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk and Virginia Beach and the Counties of Isle of Wight and Southampton pursuant to the Virginia Water and Waste Authorities Act, as provided in Chapter 51 (§ 15.2-5100 et seq.) of Title 15.2 of the Code of Virginia, shall continue and have perpetual existence until dissolved pursuant to § 15.2-5109.

§ 2. That any locality which is a member of the Southeastern Public Service Authority of Virginia may withdraw therefrom, whether or not there are any outstanding bonds of the Southeastern Public Service Authority of Virginia; provided, however, that all written obligations to the Southeastern Public Service Authority of Virginia incurred by a locality while the locality was a member shall remain in full force and effect following the locality's withdrawal.

Future Options • Continue with SPSA and sign a new Use and Support Agreement – Advantages - all debt will be paid off, capacity remains in the regional landfill, economies of scale in costs of transfer stations and transportation • Partner with neighbors in Isle of Wight and Franklin and cooperatively procure disposal and transportation services – Advantages - economies of scale, share expenses associated with regional transfer station(s), fewer partners, less risk • Go alone and procure disposal and transportation services – Advantages - full control, low risk

SPSA Alternatives • Landfill Only – Cell 6 – available capacity thru 2027 – Cell 7 – available capacity thru 2048 • Competitive Proposals – Continued WTE w/ Wheelabrator • Extends the life of Cell 6 to 2214 – Landfill with Republic Services (Brunswick) – MRF with Repower South (Chesapeake)

3 2 1

Sub-Regional Alternative • Isle of Wight County has taken the lead – RFQ issued late last year – 4 or 5 potential vendors have been pre-qualified – RFP scheduled for release on February 20 – Proposals due on March 13

The Good News • All of the options will be less expensive than the current disposal rate of $125/ton! • We should be able to achieve an approximate savings of more than $500,000 annually on disposal costs
