Executive Director’s Report on Staff Activities for the Months of August and
September
Chairman Smith requested Lewis Lawrence, Middle Peninsula Planning District
Commission Executive Director, to review the Executive Director's Report on Staff
Activities for the months of August and September. The Executive Director’s
Report on staff activities is developed at a monthly staff meeting, organized by PDC
Service Centers, and the activities are used to report grant funding activities.
Mr. Lawrence reviewed the Executive Director’s Report for the months of August
and September as follows:
August
 Consulted with Delegate Keith Hodges concerning the agency division line
between the jurisdiction of the Virginia Marine Resource Commission
(VMRC) and the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF)
on the Mattaponi River along the old Route 30 bridge alignment. King and
Queen County submitted a request for financial assistance to VMRC to build
a recreational fishing pier, but the request was delayed as the project location
was located on an agency division line. Delegate Hodges reports the
interagency agreement between VMRC and DGIF has been resolved and the
proposal can be submitted for consideration.
 Added the Clay Tract, Captain Sinclair’s Recreational Area, and Perrin
Wharf to the PAA online reservation website. Property descriptions, hunting
zones, and slips were added to the site for reservation.
 Consulted with U.S. Department of Agriculture Virginia Rural Development
Specialist BJ Fulcher concerning a proposal to explore establishing a flash
freeze operation at the Middle Peninsula Regional Security Center.
Discussed application and project components.
 Contacted by Michelle Covi, Assistant Professor with Old Dominion
University’s Mitigation and Adaptation Research Institute and Virginia Sea
Grants Program, regarding collaboration on a flooding and sea level rise
workshop for realtors working with coastal communities.
 Received phone call from Barbara Simcoe, Virginia Department of Mines,
Minerals, and Energy (VDMME), regarding continued Energy Efficiency and
Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) reporting requirements. DMME just
received guidance from Department of Energy (DOE) regarding reporting
requirements which was just forwarded to sub-recipients of EECBG funding.
VDMME will provide additional information in September. No funding is
included to comply with this new requirement.

Handout showing topics of the September 19th meeting presentation by
elected officials from Washington County, Pennsylvania was distributed by
Mr. Lawrence.
Delegate Keith Hodges, 98th District, said the meeting was very informative

Update on Matters Relevant to the Virginia’s 1st Congressional District-The
Honorable Rob Wittman
Mr. Wittman said that he appreciates the interest the Middle Peninsula is showing
in the National Flood Insurance Program. Floodplain maps determine the
homeowner’s flood insurance premiums. FEMA has to draft an affordability
framework which is due to Congress 18 months after completion of an affordability
study. Mr. Wittman encouraged the Board to let Delegate Hodges or him know of
issues with the National Flood Insurance Program because insurance premiums
should not have to force people out of their homes. High insurance premiums for

home insurance and flood insurance have a large impact on localities and
homeowners.
Discussion was held regarding home elevation certificates and mortgage companies
risk prevention programs.
Federal Flood Insurance Reform: Dave Bollinger, Mitigation Outreach
Coordinator, FEMA, Region III
Mr. Dave Bollinger, FEMA Region III Mitigation Outreach Coordinator, said the
Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 was passed into law by the
President and Congress to extend the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) for
five years and requiring program reform. This Act required changes to flood
insurance, flood hazard mapping, grants, and management of floodplains. In 2014,
the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act was signed into law. This Law
repeals and modifies certain provisions of the Biggert-Waters 2012 (BW-12).
FEMA is working with Write Your Own (WYO) insurance company partners,
Congress, and others to implement the changes. New rate tables are being
developed by FEMA to guide the process of issuing refunds for policyholders who
were charged full-risk premiums under Biggert Waters and are now eligible for PreFIRM (Flood Insurance Rate Map) subsidies. Mr. Bollinger said in order to restore
and refund premiums, FEMA has to consult with its WYO insurance companies to
develop and finalize guidance and rate tables.
FEMA’s initial priority is to assess potential changes to the NFIP’s business
processes to stop policy increases for certain subsidized policyholders as outlined in
the Act. Guidance will be issued by FEMA for the WYO insurance companies to
begin issuing refunds to some policyholders. Key priorities include refunds,
surcharges, Grandfathering, Affordability Study, small business, mapping,
promoting mitigation, and flood insurance Advocate.
 Refunds- The new Act mandates refunds of the excess premiums for certain
flood insurance policies affected by the Pre-Flood Insurance Rate Map (PreFIRM) subsidy elimination required by BW-12. Refunds will not affect all
subsidized policyholders who received rate increases.
 Surcharges- Mandatory surcharges apply to all policies. A primary residence
will include a $25 surcharge and all other policies will include a $250
surcharge. Surcharges are not premiums and are not subject to premium
increase caps required under Section 5 under the new Act.
 Grandfathering- (Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act) HFIAA
restores FEMA’s ability to grandfather properties into lower risk classes.
With limited exceptions, flood insurance premiums cannot increase more
than 18 percent annually.
 Affordability Study- The framework will include proposals and proposed
regulations for ensuring flood insurance affordability among low-income

populations. The new Act requires FEMA to draft an affordability
framework, which is due to Congress 18 months after completion of the
affordability study required by BW-12.
Small Business- Sec. 29 required FEMA to report to Congress on the effects
the Pre-FIRM subsidy phase-outs and surcharge on small businesses, nonprofits, houses of worship and certain residences. Older business properties
paying pre-FIRM subsidized rates will continue to see up to 25 percent
annual increases as required by BW-12 until they reach their full-risk rate.
Mapping- FEMA will continue to enhance coordination with communities
before and during mapping activities and report certain information to
members of Congress for each State and congressional district affected by
preliminary maps. A Technical Mapping Advisory Council will review the
new national flood mapping program activities authorized under the 2013
and 2014 flood insurance reform laws.
Promote Mitigation- The law exempts mapping fees for flood map changes
due to habitat restoration projects, dam removal, culvert re-design or
installation, or the installation of fish passages. The law requires FEMA to
consider the effects of non-structural flood control features, such as dunes,
and beach and wetland restoration when it maps the special flood hazard
area. The flood protection system permits FEMA to include the value of
existing protection features in measuring adequate progress for the
restoration of levees. Mr. Bollinger said before implementing mitigation
activities contact your local community planning office, emergency
management, or State Hazard Mitigation Officer.
Flood Insurance Advocate- Coordinates outreach and education with local
officials and community leaders in areas impacted by map amendments and
revisions; aids potential policy holders in obtaining and verifying accurate
rate information when purchasing or renewing a policy; and assists in
developing regional capacity.
Discussion was held during the presentation regarding mapping, elevation
certificates, and premium rates.
For more information and updates as they become available, visit FEMA’s website
at http://www.fema.gov/flood-insurance-reform.
Mr. Charley Banks, VA Department of Conservation and Recreation Certified
Floodplain Manager-Floodplain Program Engineer, said locality ordinances should
be revised with new maps included. Localities are given a date by which they must
have adopted and approved their new ordinances or risk becoming ineligible for
participation in the program.

Legislative Program Discussion
Chairman Smith said it has been three years since a legislative program has been
developed by the MPPDC Board. After discussion, MPPDC Board members agreed
to not develop a formal legislative program, but to send their concerns and issues to
Delegate Hodges and Congressman Wittman as well as the MPPDC Executives
Director. Congressman Wittman and Delegate Hodges said they will be available to
respond to locality concerns and issues.
October Quarterly Dinner Meeting Notice
MPPDC Executive Director Lewis Lawrence said Delegate Hodges is working
endlessly on Middle Peninsula economic development issues and groundwater
permits. Delegate Hodges held a summit at the Middle Peninsula Regional Airport
earlier this month discussing economic development issues and other Middle
Peninsula issues that are concerns of the citizens.
Delegate Hodges conveyed to Mr. Lawrence that he wanted a meeting with all the
local elected officials (Local Government Administrators, Boards of Supervisors
Members, Town Council Members, and MPPDC Board of Commissioners) to discuss
challenges localities endure to capitalize on opportunities in the Middle Peninsula
and what barriers are holding localities back. Delegate Hodges will speak at the
October dinner meeting of the MPPDC at The Sandpiper Reef Restaurant in
Mathews County on Wednesday, October 22nd.

Project 30502 Water Supply Planning
9 VAC 25-780 establishes a planning process and criteria that all local governments will use in the
development of local or regional water plans. The plan will be reviewed by the Department of Environmental
Quality and a determination will be made by the State Water Control Board on whether the plan complies with
this regulation. Within five years of a compliance determination by the board, the plan will be reviewed to
assess adequacy and any significant changes will require the submission of an amended plan and review by the
board. All local programs will be reviewed, revised, and resubmitted to the Department of Environmental
Quality every 10 years after the last approval. The jurisdictions of Essex, King and Queen, King William,
Mathews, Middlesex, Tappahannock, Urbanna and West Point opted to prepare a regional plan with assistance
from Middle Peninsula Planning District Commission staff and EEE Consulting, an environmental consulting
firm. The Regional Plan was completed and submitted to the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality for
compliance review by the November 2, 2011 deadline for Regional Plan submission.

It is my opinion that, although a local governing body may adopt a zoning ordinance that places
restrictions on the location and siting of oil and gas wells that are reasonable in scope and
consistent with the Virginia Gas and Oil Act and the Commonwealth Energy Policy/a local
governing body cannot ban altogether the exploration for, and the drilling of, oil and natural gas

Project 32133 NFWF Living Shoreline
MPPDC received a grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to facilitate citizen-based resource
stewardship to enhance coastal resilience and reduce vulnerability to growing risks from coastal storms, sea
level rise, flooding and other threats to shorelines by encouraging Middle Peninsula waterfront homeowners,
through access to low interest loans and/or grants and through education about living shorelines, to make
informed decisions to install living shorelines to protect waterfront properties. The main emphasis of the
project will be to design and implement a Living Shoreline Incentive Program (LSIP) to provide loans and/or
grants to homeowners to install living shorelines on suitable waterfront properties. The project also includes
the design of a Shoreline Management Plan (SMP) for the entire Captain Sinclair’s Recreational Area
shoreline and the design and installation of one lower Chesapeake Bay public waterfront demonstration project
to provide consumers easily accessible publically owned living shoreline examples to inform their decision
making. The investment of effort and resources in producing a Shoreline Management Plan will yield
substantial benefits in facilitating decision-making on a variety of potential issues and uses of the site. A Living
Shorelines Education Program will be developed to educate the public about the benefits of living shorelines.
The Captains Sinclair’s Recreation area site boasts an 8,000 sq. ft. waterfront home within 200 feet of the
demonstration site that will house the Living Shorelines Education Program.
