Supervisors propose data center tax hike for new budget Average tax bills could rise by as much as $72

By Anya Sczerzenie and Jill Palermo Times Staff Writers

It won’t be final until April, but both Prince William County property owners and data centers could pay higher tax bills under the rates the board of county supervisors tentatively approved Tuesday for fiscal year 2024, which begins July 1.

After extended debate, the supervisors voted 5-3 to advertise a new “computer and peripherals” tax rate, most commonly known as “the data cen-

ter tax,” of $2.15 per $100 in assessed valuation.

If ultimately adopted by the board, the Prince William County data center tax rate would still be among the lowest in Northern Virginia. But it would mark a one-year increase of 40 cents and a departure from the supervisors’ previous plan of raising the data center tax rate by 15 cents a year toward a goal rate of $2 in 2025.

The move came after Prince William County Executive Christopher Shorter presented a proposed $1.6 billion budget for fiscal year 2024 on Tuesday, Feb. 28 that would have raised average real estate tax bills by about $72.

Devlin data centers, Kline development on hold

By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

Two controversial projects that have faced major pushback from area residents – the Devlin Technology Park and Kline Farm housing development – were on hold indefinitely as of this week, after their developer pulled the plans from upcoming board of supervisors’ agendas.

Stanley Martin issued a letter to the supervisors on Tuesday, Feb. 21, asking that they defer a planned

March 7 vote on the Devlin Technology Park, a plan to allow up to 14 data centers on 270 acres near Linton Hall and Devlin roads in Bristow.

The project was last before the county board on Feb. 7. The board postponed a decision until March 7 after angry residents held protests in front of the James J. McCoart Administration building and then spoke in opposition to the project during the meeting.

If data centers in Northern Virginia are allowed to run their generators 24/7 when the electric grid is struggling, citizens could experience an increase in toxic air pollution. And more.

That was the message from a

mix of national and regional organizations who joined local citizens at a Virginia Department of Environmental Quality public hearing on Monday, Feb. 27. They were protesting a new DEQ proposal to let more than 100 data centers in Northern Virginia use their emergency generators to power themselves when the electrical grid is struggling.

City Proposed Manassas budget boosts Manassas 2024 Budget Calendar school spending, funds 3% staff raises

Plan would raise real estate tax bills by $181

By Cher Muzyk

Times Staff Writer

Average real estate tax bills would rise by about $181 next year under the $301.5 million proposed budget Manassas City Manager Pat Pate presented to the Manassas City Council on Monday. Pate’s plan budgets $64.9 million for Manassas City Public Schools, a $1.71 million increase over 2023.

Under the proposed budget, the city’s general staff would receive at least a 3% pay raise called a “performance adjustment increase.” The budget also anticipates funding a step increase for the city’s sworn public safety staff.

The budget includes $64.9 million in local funding to support the city’s public schools, Pate said. The total includes $58.7 million for operational support and $6.2 million for school debt service.

The $1.71 million boost in school spending represents a 3% increase that Manassas City schools Superintendent Kevin Newman requested in his budget proposal to the Manassas City School Board. The city funded the request with the aim of supporting the city’s educational attainment goal, Pate said.

Pate proposed a 6.5-cent decrease in the real estate tax rate to $1.07 per $100 in assessed value and a 1.7-cent reduction in the fire and rescue tax rate to $0.19, resulting in a combined tax rate of $1.26.

Despite the proposed rate reduction, because of rising home values in the city, residents can expect to pay an average of about $181 more in their 2024 real estate tax bill.

Supervisors propose data center tax hike for new budget BUDGET, from page 1 Shorter proposed reducing the real estate tax rate by more than 5 cents – dropping it from $1.03 to .977 per $100 in assessed value – while raising the data center tax rate by the planned 15 cents from $1.65 to $1.80. Shorter’s budget keeps the fire levy rate unchanged at $.075 per $100 in assessed value but would raise the solid waste disposal rate by between $3.19 for apartments to $5 for single-family homes – the first such increase in 25 years.

As a result of the changes, average real estate tax bills would rise to an average of $4,900 as a result of rising property values.

But talk of even a modest real estate tax bill increase prompted a debate about Prince William County’s lagging data center tax rate and whether it should be raised to offset residents’ tax bills.

Supervisor Jeanine Lawson, R-Brentsville, proposed raising the data center tax rate to $2.15 to generate enough revenue to cover the expenses in Shorter’s plan while also keeping real estate tax bills flat for property owners.

Lawson noted that she once “vigorously defended” the county’s initial data center tax rate of $1.25 per

“Our economic assessment shows continued growth in both residential and commercial values,” Pate said.

In 2023, real estate assessments grew from $6.23 billion to $6.9 billion in the city. The average Manassas home assessment increased 10.46%, and the average commercial assessment increased 11.37%, for overall growth of 10.75%, Pate said.

This year, the city experienced the highest assessment growth rate in more than a decade, Pate said.

Because of the increased values, Pate expects an additional 4.33% in real property tax revenue, even with the decrease in the real estate tax rate.

The proposed $1.26 tax rate would result in real estate tax revenue growth of $3.2 million in the general fund and $339,250 in the fire and rescue fund.

Pate credited “ongoing investments we have seen in advanced manufacturing, technology particularly in the aeronautical industry, hospitality services and residential housing” for significantly enhancing the city’s assessments.

Pate also noted that despite complications from the pandemic’s effect on the economy, Manassas emerged fiscally unscathed.

“We have seen strong economic growth throughout the pandemic, and we expect to see this continue over the next several years,” Pate said.

In addition to the increase in school funding, the spending plan includes a 5% increase for shared services -- those services shared with Prince William County -- and a 2% increase in debt service.

Pate also included funding in the proposed budget for a one-time expense of $2 million for a

$100 assessed value but said “things have changed” and that “data centers have created a lot of problems the board has been dealing with.”

“I think it’s time to start increasing it in a more aggressive manner,” Lawson said.

Only Supervisors Victor Angry, D-Neabsco; Margaret Franklin, D-Woodbridge; and Board Chair Ann Wheeler, D-At Large, voted against advertising the $2.15 data center tax rate.

Later in the meeting, the board agreed to advertise the .977-cent real estate tax rate proposed by Shorter to allow some flexibility in its budget deliberations. After the rates are advertised, they can be reduced but cannot be raised.

Shorter’s proposed budget maintains the county’s long-standing revenue-sharing agreement with local schools, which sends 57.23% of general tax revenue to the school division. Because of rising assessments, the county will boost funding to the school division by 10% over the cur-

replacement and upgrade of police radios.

The spending plan includes no change to the city’s car tax rate. The city’s $3.60 personal property tax rate remains flat in the proposed budget.

As for utilities, typical single-family homes can expect a $3.96 increase in their monthly utility bill due to a 4% increase in electric rates. Water and sewer rates, solid waste rates and stormwater management rates are expected to remain flat, Pate said.

Pate reported that utility funding is the city’s largest expenditure and that the cost is fully supported by utility revenue. Education is the city’s next highest expenditure followed by public safety, Pate said.

At the close of his presentation at the Feb. 27 city council meeting, Pate noted that he wouldn’t take questions from council members but looked forward to answering questions at upcoming work sessions.

“On behalf of city staff, we look forward to assisting council with adopting a budget that addresses the strategic priorities of the community and which maintains the ‘historic heart and modern beat’ of our community,” Pate said.

The city council must establish a “not to exceed” real estate tax rate by March 8 to advertise to the community.

rent year, an increase of $72 million.

The proposed budget also dedicates an additional $54 million to staff salaries, raising the salaries of sworn public safety officers and general government employees by at least 3%.

Prince William police officers would continue to receive the 17.5% pay raise the county board approved late last year. Sheriff’s deputies and firefighters would each receive a 9.8% salary increase, while adult detention center officers would receive a 7.2% raise and general government employees, 9%.

“We are proposing significant— and much-needed—investment in our workforce to make sure we’re competitive,” Shorter said.

Meanwhile, the proposed budget would also raise the supervisors’ salaries by 70%, boosting their annual pay from about $49,000 to $84,000 for the board chair, and from about $43,000 to $74,000 for each of the other seven supervisors.

Though the board cannot raise their own salaries, they can raise salaries for the next elected board, which will be chosen during this year’s November general election.

Prince William board salaries are among the lowest in Northern Virginia. In Loudoun County, the board chair makes $81,000, and the supervisors’ salary is about $66,000.

County plans renewable gas pipeline at the landfill

Possible natural gas pipeline routes

Prince William County is working with a private company to build a state-of-the-art facility to capture methane gas generated at the county’s landfill and turn it into renewable natural gas that can be used to power and heat area homes and businesses.

But a new underground pipeline is needed to transport the gas to the existing utility distribution network, and that’s sparking opposition from some area residents.

Opal Fuels is constructing the multi-million-dollar project in a public-private partnership with the county. The county’s work with OPAL Fuels is not new. It began in 1996 when OPAL Fuels installed engines that captured landfill gases from decaying trash at the 1,000acre landfill and used it to spin turbines to generate energy.

Over the years, the engines have been upgraded, and five generators currently produce about 6.7 megawatts of electricity per year, which is sold to NOVEC, according to Trent Magill, principal engineer at the solid waste division of the county’s department of public works.

That’s enough electricity to power 5,000 homes, a school bus garage and an animal shelter, according to the NOVEC website. The county collects about $250,000 a year from the sale of the electricity.

Residents, groups protest letting data centers run generators nonstop DEQ, from page 1 Opponents called the proposal “reckless,” a “debacle” and a violation of the DEQ’s stated mission “to promote the health and well-being of the Commonwealth’s citizens, residents and visitors in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.”

Among the 41 speakers who opposed the proposal were representatives of the Sierra Club, the National Park Conservation Association, the Southern Environmental Law Center, Piedmont Environmental Council, Prince William Conservation Alliance, the Coalition to Protect Prince William County and Protect Fauquier.

Ann Bennett, land use chair of the Great Falls Group of the Sierra Club, castigated the DEQ for trying to change its rules without carefully studying the effects of the changes. “You can’t solve problems you don’t understand,” she said to cheers at a press conference just before the hearing.

At the public hearing, two individuals spoke in favor. One was Josh Levi, president of the Data Center Coalition, and the other was Mary Ann Ghadban, who is leading the charge among northern Prince William County landowners to sell their properties for the Prince William Digital Gateway, a 2,100-acre data center corridor proposed just north of the Manassas National Battlefield Park.

While the opposition focused mainly on the likely air pollution caused by the continuous running of diesel generators, others voiced concerns about residents living in lower-income areas downwind of the region’s data center clusters as well as the noise the generators would make. And for many, the proposal provided an opportunity to take swings at data centers in general.

Some speakers proposed sending warnings to nursing homes and schools when the generators would turn on to protect those with respiratory problems.

But others were outraged over the idea that the data centers could get paid to run their generators.

“That is like rewarding a pyromaniac for putting out the fire that they started,” said Elena Schlossberg, executive director of the Coalition to Protect Prince William County.

The Monday, Feb. 27 public hearing was the only one scheduled for the proposal – a variance to current law -- that was posted on Jan. 25. The DEQ is taking written public comments on the proposal through March 14. DEQ policy analyst Karen Sabasteanski conducted the hearing alone.

Sabasteanski did not respond to the speakers’ remarks but said after the hearing that her department would review them and make recommendations, which would become public. She said since this was a variance and not a regulation, it would not fall under the purview of the DEQ’s air quality control board but would be handled by her department of air data analysis and planning.

“We need to consider these comments and the

Right: Julie Bolthouse, director of land use for the Piedmont Environmental Council, speaks against a proposal to lift data centers’ pollution permits so they can run their diesel-powered generators continually in times of stress on the electrical grid. different impacts that they will have. So, we’re going to have to respond to the issues that people have brought up,” she said.

Michael Dowd, the director of DEQ’s Air and Renewable Energy Division, said in an email after the hearing, “We believe the proposed variance would result in very little, if any, impact to air quality, including with respect to air toxics.”

Opponents stated that the diesel generators would release nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, ozone and fine particulates.

The variance is written to apply from March through July 31 – this year only -- which a DEQ notice cites as “a time of potentially acute stress” on the grid. Some of the speakers during the Feb. 27 public hearing, however, raised fears that it might be renewed every year – indeed, the variance says the grid may suffer shortages for data centers through 2025.

The proposal only affects data centers in Loudoun, Prince William and Fairfax counties.

More than 100 data center complexes have been built in the region with ranks of generators standing by in case of a power outage. Currently, the law limits their use – other than for testing – to periods of declared grid emergency and local power failures.

The proposed variance would allow the data centers to disconnect from the grid and run on generator power whenever a “load management alert” or a “local load relief warning” is declared

by PJM Interconnect, which manages the grid in 14 states. This would allow ‘the data centers to continue to serve their customers, maintain the integrity of the internet and alleviate demand on the electric grid during times of stress,” the DEQ wrote in its proposal.

Current law limits most data center generators to 500 hours of operation per year, and their operation is severely limited during ozone season from May 1 through Sept. 30. The variance does not put a time limit on the running of the generators.

Left: Karen Sheehan speaks at the DEQ hearing on data center generator permits. Right: Gainesville resident Roger Yackel speaks in opposition to allowing data centers to run their diesel-powered generators continuously during times of stress on the electrical grid.

It does require that data centers notify the DEQ when they turn on their generators and calculate the air pollution emitted while they are running.

But the DEQ provided no information on the effects of the proposal. Julie Bolthouse, land use director for the Piedmont Environmental Council, located permits for 4,632 generators on 101 data center sites in the three counties. Sixteen of the sites held more than 100 generators.

Bolthouse had also researched the types of alerts that could trigger the use of generators. She said there were not many in 2018 and 2019, but by 2021 there were about 40, and in 2022 there were 80 – a number the PEC expects to increase as more data centers are built.

Morgan Butler, a senior attorney at the Southern Environmental Law Center in Charlottesville, said his research showed that PJM, the grid operator, had issued 15 separate local load relief warnings for “data center alley” in Ashburn totaling 140 hours just in May 2022.

But it is not clear how many generators would actually ramp up during such warnings or alerts.

The variance would allow -- but does not require -- data centers to disconnect from the grid and run on generators in these cases. And the alerts are often limited to small parts of the northern Virginia grid.

Several citizens and group leaders said they were enraged by evidence that the data centers would be paid to disconnect from the grid. The DEQ’s Dowd said after the meeting that he did not believe this was the case.

But the PEC’s Director of Communications Bri West, pointed to PJM’s voluntary “Demand Response” program that compensates customers for agreeing to cut their power need when the reliability of the grid is threatened. Participants receive payments from PJM’s Curtailment Service Providers, PJM’s website states.

Kam Tower, an account executive with CPower, which is Virginia’s curtailment service provider, seemed likely to him that a data center could join the program and be compensated if it agreed to reduce its grid usage when the alerts went out.

Many of the speakers said they consider the proposed variance as a gift to data centers and the internet they support without considering that it is the data centers, with their huge power draw, that largely are responsible for the looming shortages in the first place.

They said the answer is not to give data centers more leeway but rather to cut back or stop their proliferation.

Karen Sheehan, director of the Coalition to Protect Prince William County, said she found everything about the proposal wrong. “You want to waive these data centers and enable them to pollute my air, my daughter’s air, my granddaughter’s air and all of my neighbor’s air because of the internet,” she said. “This is outrageous; absolutely outrageous. It is dangerous.”

Parents, students give school weapons-detection system a positive review

By Anya Sczerzenie Times Staff Writer

Reaction to a new weapons-detection system being considered for Prince William County’s middle and high schools was mostly positive last week during the school division’s first safety and security briefing featuring the “Evolve Express” scanners at Gainesville High School.

Kimberly Vega, a parent of a high school and middle school student, said she felt the presentation was thorough and made her feel comfortable with the idea of the Evolv system.

“I really like the idea that it’s just detecting weapons,” Vega said. “I was hoping it didn’t detect keys and cellphones.”

Vega’s daughter Karina, a sophomore at GHS, said she also felt positively about the Evolv detectors coming to her school.

“I’ve been hearing about all these incidents with guns,” Vega said. “I think it’s better to make sure everyone’s safe.”

The Evolv detectors were demonstrated at Gainesville High on Wednesday, Feb. 22. It was the first of three briefings to take place throughout late February and early March. The Prince William County School Board is considering spending an estimated $16 to $20 million to begin installing the systems at all 30 middle and high schools starting next school year.

The detectors use machine-learning capabilities and are specifically trained to detect “mass-casualty” weapons such as guns and explosives.

“The system is designed not to see any bias,” said Evolv representative Neil Sandhoff. “It sees the human body as a bag of salt water. It’s looking at the things you’re carrying with you.”

The detectors beep and show a red light to alert school staff, who will be monitoring the detectors, to potential hazards. In a demonstration during the presentation, the Evolv detectors were

An Evolv weapons detection system was on display during the Wednesday, Feb. 22 security briefing at Gainesville High School. able to detect fake weapons and police officers’ guns, showing a red box on the screen where the items were on the person’s body.

Unlike metal detectors, the Evolv detectors do not alert for normal metal items, such as keys and jewelry or for cell phones.

Evolv representatives said that it has no problem with medical devices such as hearing aids, though wheelchairs have caused a few false alarms in the past. Other items such as umbrellas have also caused false alarms in the past, though they are not common.

The detectors have multiple levels of sensitivity.

At higher levels, they could detect things such as small pocketknives or vapes, but Sandhoff said that it would be “counterproductive” to turn the sensitivity up this high unless there is a known threat.

According to Evolv representatives, the detectors are also faster to go through than a normal metal detector.

“Most kids just walk right in; their day doesn’t really change,” Sandhoff said.

The detectors have mainly been used in settings such as concerts and museums, including the Smithsonian in Washington DC. However, they were introduced to schools in Charlotte, North Carolina, and helped to reduce the number of weapons incidents there.

According to Evolv representatives, there were 33 incidents of guns brought to school in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg district the year before the detectors were introduced. During the year that the detectors were introduced into schools, there was only one incident.

Vernon Bock, the school division’s chief operating officer, said that the detectors will be introduced to Prince William schools gradually next school year.

“There’s a lot to work through leading up to fall,” Bock said. “It’s going to be a graduated rollout, not on the first day of school and not all at once.”

Jen Donnelly, who is the vice chair of an organization called Moms for Liberty, said that she was “very impressed” with the detectors.

“It’s so unobtrusive; it gives you a level of security that’s not ‘in your face,’” Donnelly said.

Donnelly said that she is still concerned that the detectors are not being introduced in elementary schools.

“A lot of mass casualty events have happened at elementary schools,” Donnelly said.

Nichole Campbell, another parent who attended the presentation, said that she hoped the detector would make the students feel more comfortable.

“It’s definitely less intrusive than a full metal detector,” Campbell said.

However, Campbell said that she wishes that the detectors weren’t needed in the first place.

“I wish we could get rid of the problem with guns first,” Campbell said. “I wish we could help the students who wish to come in and selfishly take others’ lives.”

12 Prince William schools to get rooftop solar panels this year

By Anya Sczerzenie Times Staff Writer

Prince William County schools are going solar Twelve schools – including three high schools, two middle schools and seven elementary schools will be fitted with rooftop solar panels this year in a partnership with Secure Solar Futures, a group that provides clean energy infrastructure and education to K-12 schools.

“The schools will showcase solar power systems right on location.

That will send a powerful message to students that they don’t have to wait for the clean energy economy to arrive in the future. It’s already here,” stated Ryan McAllister, chief executive officer of Secure Solar Futures, in a news release.

The PWCS schools with roofs in

the best condition were chosen for solar panels, according to Prince William County schools Energy Education Coordinator Jennifer Rokasky.

“Because the solar panels will be up there for 25 years, we chose schools with new or newly replaced roofs,” Rokasky said.

Each school’s output of energy will differ according to their roof’s orientation, but Rokasky said that about 50% of each school’s energy will be provided by its solar panels.

Altogether, the solar panels are predicted to generate 10 million kilowatt-hours of electric energy per year.

The panels will generate an amount of electricity equal to that needed to power 779 homes each year and will prevent 4,005 tons of

carbon dioxide emissions from entering the atmosphere annually, according to a school division news release.

Workers will begin installing the panels this spring, and they are expected to be finished by the end of 2023.

The panels will be owned and operated by Secure Solar Futures, which will sell the power to schools for a reduced rate. This arrangement will save the school system an estimated $16 million over the next 25 years.

“The partnership between PWCS and Solar Futures continues to ensure the fulfillment of PWCS’ commitment to sustainability, the environment, environmental literacy, and reducing the carbon footprint,” the school division news release said.

Democrat Idris O’Connor announces bid for Coles District supervisor’s seat O’CONNOR, from page 5 Considering his mix of experience and education, O’Connor said he believes he is qualified to lead on the board of county supervisors.

“Now, I am ready to take what I have learned as a community advocate and apply it towards making Prince William County an inclusive, welcoming place that uplifts all of our residents,” O’Connor said in his press release.

O’Connor’s platform includes working to provide affordable housing in the county, increasing

public school funding, investing in mental health and social services and supporting small businesses, he said in the interview.

O’Connor was also the president of the Prince William County Young Democrats. Del. Elizabeth Guzman, D-31st, fended off a primary challenge from O’Connor in June 2021.

O’Connor has already received endorsements from Del. Candi King, D-2nd; Del. Briana Sewell, D-51st; Supervisor Kenny Boddye, D-Occoquan; and Manassas City Councilmember Sonia Vasquez Luna, (D).

Supervisor Yesli Vega, R-Coles, was elected to the seat in 2019 and recently lost her bid for U.S. Congress in Virginia’s 7th District to Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger (D) last November. Before Vega won the seat, former Supervisor Marty Nohe, a Republican, had held the seat since his election in 2003.

Vega has not yet filed for re-election in November according to the Prince William County Office of Elections.

Youngkin honors firefighters for aiding motorists stranded in snowstorm Staff Reports The Prince William County Fire and Rescue System recently received two Governor’s Fire Service Awards, including one for “Outstanding Fire Department Response” for coming to the aid of motorists stranded on Interstate 95 during the January 2022 snowstorm.

On Jan. 3, 2022, Virginia was hit with a major storm dumping about 12 inches of snow with temperatures in the upper teens. The storm caused 48 miles of I-95 North to be shut down, stranding many motorists for more than 18 hours.

Establishing incident command, the Prince William County professional and volunteer firefighters pro-

vided food, water and medical attention to the citizens.

Using station assets, they also cleared exit ramps from the highway to allow motorists to exit the interstate. Compiling supplies from station stocks, they distributed support in food and water, and when the system’s logistics section responded, added blankets and other aid, according to a news release from the governor’s office.

“I am proud to honor these remarkable fire service professionals,” said Gov. Glenn Youngkin in a statement. “We celebrate and thank these first responders and support staff for their extraordinary contributions to the commonwealth.”

The Prince William County Fire and Rescue system also won the Virginia Fire Chiefs Foundation Health and Safety Award.

The award recognized the department’s efforts to develop a fitness program to make firefighters aware of their physical abilities and body weight and resources available to improve in both areas.

The effort began after Prince William County Fire and Rescue System career staff switched to a 56-hour work week three years ago. During this time, the department saw an increase in body fat at annual physicals, according to a county news release.

To counter this increase, the health and safety office developed a physical fitness program that included a quarterly assessment.

The Prince William County firefighters received the award at the annual Virginia Fire Chiefs Association Expo and Symposium in Virginia Beach.

The Kline project is years in the making but not clear whether the Prince William Board Kline development on hold continues to face opposition related to traffic and of It’s County Supervisors will vote on the deferrals

DATA CENTERS, from page 1

More than 80 residents voiced fears of the data centers ruining property values and generating bothersome noise for students at nearby Chris Yung Elementary School and residents of several nearby neighborhoods, including Amberleigh Station, Silver Leaf Estates, Lanier Farms and Victory Lakes.

Stanley Martin similarly will request a deferral on a final vote on the Kline Farm development, initially slated for March 14. That project would bring 240 townhomes, a drive-through pharmacy

the idea of allowing dense development in an area bordered to the south by single-family homes on larger lots.

Stanley Martin realized that both projects need “more time,” Truett Young, Stanley Martin’s vice president for land acquisition in Northern Virginia, told the Prince William Times Thursday, Feb. 23.

Young declined to say what changes are being considered for either project, or whether Stanley Martin has a timeline in mind for bringing the projects back before the county board.

“We just decided that with the community con-

or just accept them without a vote. The board has done both with past deferrals.

Residents leading the opposition to the Devlin Technology Park expressed reservations about the news of the project’s delay Thursday. While they consider it a positive step, they remain concerned that the data center plan will resurface eventually, said Bethany Kelley, a resident of Victory Lakes.

“We feel like we’ve won this battle in the battle of Bristow, but we haven’t won the war yet,” Kelley said.

Prince William, Opal Fuels to build renewable natural gas facility at the landfill PIPELINE, from page 5 OPAL Fuel’s new renewable natural gas facility will collect the landfill gas, clean the emissions and process it onsite into renewable natural gas. At full output, OPAL Fuels says its new facility will produce approximately 12.4 million gas gallon equivalents of renewable gas per year, according to its website.

In order to be sold, the renewable natural gas needs to be transported from the facility at the landfill to a utility gas interconnect where it can be distributed by a company like Washington Gas, which has been negotiating with OPAL Fuels. But there’s no deal yet, according to Ron Goodman, a Washington Gas representative.

“We are aligned in terms of the environmental benefits, but we do not have a contract yet,” Goodman said in an interview with the Prince William Times.

Washington Gas is interested in tapping into a new renewable gas pipeline from the landfill because the company’s climate business plan “is about reducing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and decarbonizing the pipeline,” Goodman said.

“Decarbonizing the pipeline means replacing natural gas with renewable natural gas,” he said.

OPAL Fuels said it is “review-

ing alternatives” for the route of an 8-inch natural gas pipeline buried at a minimum of four feet underground. OPAL Fuels has narrowed down its potential routes to a “red route” and a “blue route,” both of which begin at the landfill site.

The red route follows an existing electrical transmission corridor southeast, cutting through several Dale City neighborhoods north of Minnieville Road. The route crosses Spriggs Road, Mapledale Avenue and Delaney Road as it travels to the Prince William Parkway, where it heads north, stopping just short of the county government complex.

The blue route heads north from the landfill along Dumfries Road and then turns east at Hoadly Road, which it follows to a point just shy of the Prince William Parkway.

OPAL Fuels is pursuing the red route and is already in discussions with affected landowners.

“We are in discussion with the 71 total identified landowners alongside the proposed 7.1-mile red route, which would run alongside an already constructed [utility] right-ofway,” Allen Hunt, Opal Fuels vice president for engineering and construction, said in an email.

As for the 7.7-mile blue route, the company doesn’t yet know how many landowners would be affected “but it’s our belief the majority of

the route is owned by VDOT,” Hunt said.

Tricia Zipfel, whose home is located on the red route, says she’s a “no” on the project and doesn’t want a new natural gas pipeline installed in her backyard feet from her shed.

It’s Zipfel’s understanding that the pipeline would need to be constructed in her yard 15 feet from the existing Dominion Power easement, which the back of her property abuts.

Zipfel said she hasn’t been told how much she will be compensated for the pipeline under her property but said it would be a one-time payment after an easement agreement is reached. Zipfel said she has been alerting her neighbors about the pipeline and said she was disappointed with the communication from both OPAL Fuels and the county about the details of the project.

Hunt said that OPAL Fuels is aware of community concerns about the project and takes them “very seriously” and is “addressing them openly.”

“Only at the time the surveying process is completed would we be able to determine the most appropriate route – and that would be in consultation with the community and county,” Hunt said. “In terms of the timeline for the process, no decisions are imminent, as we are only in the information-gathering and

feasibility stage at this point.”

OPAL Fuels says the new renewable natural gas facility is both more efficient and better for the environment than its existing generators at the landfill. The project will convert 95% of the methane in landfill gas to renewable natural gas compared to the existing electrical power project at the landfill, which it states is “less than 35% efficient at converting the landfill gas to energy,” according to OPAL Fuels website.

Through a new “treatment technology,” the renewable natural gas facility will convert harmful methane gas, a “greenhouse gas that is a primary contributor to climate change,” to fuel that can be transported offsite for “beneficial use,” according to the press release about the project.

“Small-scale gas line pipeline projects like this that utilize our landfill can do a lot of public good for the communities,” said Supervisor Kenny Boddye, D-Occoquan.

“But we have to do it right. We have to make sure that residents are keyed in on it. We have to make sure that they are aware of how the process works, and we have to make sure that everyone is at the table making decisions.”

OPINION WWW.PRINCEWILLIAMTIMES.COM

Prince William Times | March 2, 2023

Time to take a break on data center approvals Prince William County has already zoned more data centers than any other location in the world. Yet only 12% of the data center space that has been approved for zoning has been built so far. In fact, not even the first building of the first mega data center campus outside the overlay district -- Gainesville Crossing data campus – is complete.

We have no idea what the actual community impact will be as one by one these massive campuses are built.

Knowing we already have data center community noise issues; knowing we already have electrical

grid issues, knowing how contentious and divisive it is when the entire burden of data centers is being borne by Manassas, Bristow, Gainesville and Haymarket – the only rational answer is for the Prince William Board of County Supervisors to put a halt to the data center zoning frenzy. We need time to assess the impact of what has already been approved before we zone the largest project of all: the 2,100-acre Prince William Digital Gateway.

ALLY STOEGER Gainesville

The people spoke in the Feb. 21 special election. Will the supervisors listen?

The people in western Prince William County have spoken. They are concerned about the impacts of data centers near schools and homes.

Without a Gainesville supervisor on the board of county supervisors during crucial land usage debates this year, the residents were unrepresented. The latest election will finally bring their representation.

It is time for the supervisors to listen to what the people are saying. After all, don’t they work for the people to do what is best for the constituents?

People are concerned about the health impacts of the 24/7 noise generated by the data centers; the amount of power needed by 100plus buildings, especially if you have an oxygen dependent person in your home; the possible drinking water contamination related to building huge monoliths near tributaries to the Occoquan Reservoir;

and the ruination of the land and historical treasures by tree-clearing.

They can also see that money that might be needed to retrofit the western county schools for noise pollution could be money taken away from the east-end school renovations.

There is also the concern about the danger of 100 buildings in one area being a target for foreign adversaries.

The Feb. 21 special election was one in which many crossed party lines with concerns. These concerns have not been heard by the supervisors.

This year’s elections will be a time for people to vote for the candidates who will listen! No matter which party you are in, or how much money you have thrown at your election, the people are the ones who will write the results of the election story.

ELAINE ROMANIAS Gainesville

Prince William County: Running on fumes On Nov. 17, 2020, the Prince William Board of County Supervisors authorized the creation of a Sustainability Commission to advise the county on how to reach its climate mitigation and resiliency goals.

On Sept. 22, 2022, that Sustainability Commission unanimously passed resolution #22-007, which recommended several “fast-track” measures to put the county on a trajectory to achieve those goals.

Among them was: “Prohibit the building of new backup power generation using diesel and/or petroleum in favor of less carbon-intensive generation and encourage the conversion of existing diesel and/or petroleum backup systems to less carbon-intensive generation.”

This recommendation proved prescient. Unfortunately, it also proved futile. Board of Supervisors Chair Ann Wheeler has not seen fit to place it on the board’s agenda despite multiple inquiries.

Now the Virginia Department of

Environmental Quality is proposing that more than 100 data centers in Loudoun, Prince William and Fairfax counties be given a variance from air pollution controls so they can run their diesel generators any time the electrical transmission system is strained.

Such a strain on the grid is anticipated this summer. This strain does not even account for numerous additional data centers that have been approved but not yet completed.

These approvals move forward at breakneck speed despite the obvious inability of our electrical transmission capacity to keep pace.

Diesel generators are extremely loud, and their pollutants are linked to cancer, asthma and autoimmune disease.

The Sustainability Commission is doing what they were hired for. The Prince William Board of County Supervisors clearly is not.

BILL WRIGHT Gainesville

Board of supervisors’ “Top 10” priorities for Prince William Actions and attitudes of our Prince Wlliam Board of County Supervisors over the past three years suggest their affinity for the following outcomes: 1. Industrialization to rival northern New Jersey.

2. A new cross-county truck route from I-95 to Dulles airport.

3. More than twice as much data center capacity as Loudoun County.

4. Data center facilities directly adjacent to homes and schools.

5. Proliferation of ugly new power transmission lines and towers.

6. Increased water pollution risk to the Occoquan Reservoir.

7.

A 60% tax discount to the world’s largest and most profitable big tech corporations.

8. Infrastructure costs resulting in increased property taxes, rents, meal taxes and consumer energy bills passed to residents.

9. The world’s highest concentration of noisy, polluting, un-

healthy industrial diesel generators.

10. Degradation of nationally renowned historic areas, state and national parks and African American heritage sites.

Board Chair Ann Wheeler would claim that this list does not reflect her vision, but her actions tell a different story. She and her board majority have been pushing relentlessly for a truly unprecedented assortment of energy-gorging industrial complexes throughout the county.

Without the introduction of any semblance of sanity, this vision will surely become a long-term economic drain and enduring resident nightmare. What will happen to hulking data center remains when they become obsolete due to inevitable advances in technology?

We must reject this flawed vision and return to a more balanced and thoughtful approach to civic planning.

BOBBIE KELLY Gainesville

Vocal majority on Warrenton data center strives to be heard A message for the mayor of Warrenton: On the evening of Feb. 14 at the Amazon data center meeting, you apparently decided that you could sway the opinions of irate residents by inanely invoking Richard Nixon’s “silent majority” and telling us that they were on your side. I have two things to say to you on that point, Mr. Mayor, since you were apparently too young and naive to understand it in Nixon’s time.

Your “silent majority” is made up of all the people in the town/ county who don’t care. That, Mr. Mayor, is why they are silent. The silent majority that you so ridiculously invoked … they don’t care about Warrenton and/or Fauquier County. That is why they have nothing to say. Those of us who

care about this community … we are not going to be silent and let you destroy it. We are going to yell and be heard. You should interpret that, Mr. Mayor, as showing that the people who show up at these meanings and refuse to be silent — the people who actually care about your community — are decidedly not on your side.

2. You surely are aware of the fate of Mr. Nixon. Those of us who do care about Warrenton and thus refuse to remain silent … we can only hope you face the same fate in the not-too-distant future.

Perhaps some friendly local attorney will answer this question for me: Does Warrenton have a mechanism for impeaching or recalling its mayor?

When Pat Nixon and Imelda Marcos visited Kline Farm Once the most productive dairy farm in Virginia, the Manassas farm hosted the first ladies in 1970

By Martin Jeter

Contributing Writer

The Kline dairy farm at the corner of the Prince William Parkway and Liberia Avenue has been in the news recently due to a proposal to plant townhouses and drive-throughs on part of the farm instead of crops. But there was a time not so long ago that the farm was so advanced and productive that another country’s leader wanted to see how they did it. That’s why Imelda Marcos and first lady Pat Nixon came to visit the Kline farm in September 1970.

Nora and Wilmer Kline bought the Kline farm in 1925. Two sons, Harley and Leon, returned to the farm after graduating from Virginia Tech full of good ideas learned there.

Father and sons worked together to create one of the top-producing dairy herds in Virginia by the 1970s.

They grew the farm to more than 400 acres. Wilmer’s brother Paul founded Kline’s Freeze and Kline’s Drive-in in Manassas. Members of the extended Kline family also owned other farms in the area.

Leon’s son, Don, who still lives on a piece of former Kline farmland, credits growing up on the farm with teaching him the value of hard work and entrepreneurship. He designed a prototype high-endurance aircraft while in college and now owns an engineering company in Manassas specializing in structural design. Fun fact: Don’s team, with him as the project manager, constructed the complicated and beautiful roof structure of the Dulles Airport Main Terminal.

But what about Imelda Marcos and first lady Pat Nixon? For background on the visit, let’s go back to September 1970 and to a country called the Philippines, where Imelda’s husband Ferdinand was the president. There was an election for members of a constitutional convention coming up in November 1970, and Ferdinand Marcos wanted to make sure that the delegates to the

Chicago Daily News, Sept. 25, 1970:

President Nixon, first lady Pat Nixon, and Henry Kissinger meet with Imelda Marcos, first lady of the Philippines in the White House Oval Office in September 1970. convention would be amenable to changing the constitution to allow him to remain in power.

In addition to visiting the Kline farm, Imelda Marcos had a meeting during the same 1970 visit with President Richard Nixon and separately with Richard Helms, the CIA director at the time, to convince them that elements of the Catholic church and communist fronts were trying to promote delegates to the convention that would change the Philippine government to socialist or communist form.

She tried to convince them that the U.S. needed to ensure that the socialists didn’t get power so that democracy would be preserved in the Philippines. Although wary of communist takeovers in that part of the world, after studying the issue, the U.S. government apparently did not share Imelda Marcos’s concerns and declined to get involved.

She also reportedly had a visit with the Pope during that September to try to get him to delay his visit to the Philippines for similar rea-

sons, so it was a very busy month for Imelda Marcos that year.

Failing in his efforts to change the constitution so he could remain president indefinitely, Marcos employed martial law in 1972 and suspended elections. Marcos remained the dictator of his country until he was overthrown in 1986. Together, Ferdinand and Imelda stole around $10 billion dollars from the Philippine people and imprisoned and tortured tens of thousands.

Now back to the Kline farm in Manassas. It’s not known exactly what Imelda Marcos hoped to learn from her visit to the Kline farm, but Marcos did have an agricultural reform program underway, seeing it as a way to address agrarian unrest and prevent political instability.

Presidential Decree 27 was designed to increase rice and corn production with the intense use of fertilizers and pesticides, among other things.

This method was promoted by the oil and chemical companies that were instrumental in the production of the fertilizers and pesticides involved.

Unfortunately, most of the participants in the visit to the Kline farm that September day have passed on, except for Imelda Marcos and Ed Kline.

Ed remembers the Marcos visit, but he was just a young lad and has no idea what his dad, Wilmer Kline talked about with the first ladies.

A newspaper article from the time claimed that Wilmer yelled, “Next time, bring the president! I’d like to know how you folks found out I voted for him!” as the helicopter carrying Pat Nixon and Imelda Marcos lifted off the ground.

In addition to being a productive farmer, Wilmer Kline apparently had a sense of humor!

Much of the original acreage of the Kline farm has been sold off. Now the townhouses, drive-throughs and self-storage facility included in the plan for the property may be the future cash crops that sprout up on the old Kline farm. One can’t help but wonder what Wilmer and his sons would think about that.

YELLOW JACKETS STILL HAVE STING

PHOTOS BY RANDY LITZINGER

Above, Osbourn Park is 23-4 and next hosts Manchester in Friday’s state quarterfinals, held at Unity Reed at 7 p.m. At left, all-state guard Alana Powell and the Osbourn Park girls are ready for another shot at the Class 6 state title. They’ve lost in the last two state finals.

Osbourn Park girls win third straight region title, downing Gainesville 64-29

By Matthew Proctor

Special to the Fauquier Times

As Osbourn Park point guard Alana Powell climbed a ladder to cut down the net following the Yellow Jackets’ third consecutive regional girls basketball championship, she thought about how great it was to do it at home.

“It was awesome, especially having all our family and friends here,” the senior said. “We never got to cut it with our home crowd and everybody here (before).”

In 2021, pandemic-restrictions were in place, and last year OP won the region title at Woodbridge. This time a mob of passionate supporters enjoyed the region victory party in the Yellow Jackets’ home gym as their hosts suffocated Gainesville 64-29.

Powell scored a game-high 21 points and was instrumental in all phases of the game. The 5-foot-7 all-state guard fed her teammates, applied oppressive defense and later rained plenty of buckets. “We just really like to spread the ball out and get it to whoever is dominating,” Powell said.

With their 66-31 win over Colgan in the semifinals on Feb. 24, the Yellow Jackets (23-4) clinched their fourth consecutive state tournament appearance and meet Manchester (20-5) Friday in the quarterfinals, held at Unity Reed at 7 p.m. Gainesville is also going and meets Thomas Dale (23-1) on the road at Monacan High Friday at 7.

Ella Nhek and the Cardinals made states in the school’s second year; Gainesville will face Thomas Dale at Monacan High Friday at 7 p.m.. Also pictured is OP’s Kori Cole.

The Yellow Jackets have made it to the state finals two years in a row, falling both times to Fairfax County powerhouse James Madison.

Coach Chrissy Kelly and the Yellow Jackets are ready for another run at the crown.

“I don’t know what’s going to happen from this point forward, but I’ve learned to appreciate the journey and enjoy it with them because that’s really what it’s about,” Kelly

said. “We still have a lot of things to get better at. Nothing’s guaranteed. I can’t even think about that because we got to get past Friday.”

Despite the loss, Gainesville (234) is headed to states as well. Coach Daniel Nemerow and the Cardinals are making waves in the program’s second year.

“What these girls have done in two years with us is really impressive. We’re trying to create a culture. We’re trying to build a program that’s got some of the same pedigree that Osbourn Park has built,” Nemerow said.

The Yellow Jackets defeated the Cardinals for the fourth time this year, sweeping both regular season matchups, then winning the district tournament final, 52-42.

“They’re just going to guard you on every inch of the floor,” Nemerow said. “They’re relentless.

Osbourn Park is not going to stop pressuring you, they’re not going to stop attacking you.”

The first quarter started with sophomore center Alex Brown making the Yellow Jackets’ first four shots. Waiting under the basket, Brown collected passes from OP’s driving guards and repeatedly finished at the rim to open a 12-8 first quarter lead. She finished with 12 points.

The second quarter was takeover time for Powell, who converted steals into three layups, then nailed a floater from just inside the 3-point line at the buzzer to give Osbourn Park a 34-21 lead at the break.

“Alana was instrumental in dictating the offense and composing us.

She’s our quarterback. You don’t have a point guard; you don’t have a chance.

And she has just been phenomenal all season,” Kelly said.

Senior wing player Danielle Darfour was another impactful Jacket, playing rugged defense, scoring seven points and drawing rave reviews from her coach.

Said Kelly of her squad’s ferocious defense, which featured numerous halfcourt traps: “That was called Danielle Darfour. We’re going to go defensively as she goes and she came out a completely different human being and that really changed the dynamic of the game,” Kelly said.

“It’s just bringing intensity every time. That’s what we focus on,” Darfour said.

In the third quarter, Osbourn Park outscored Gainesville 22-3 as the turnovers kept coming, rarely allowing the Cardinals to advance the ball past halfcourt.

“Our speed and athleticism that we have this year, we’re able to do that, and we’re able to do it well,” senior Kori Cole said.

With the score out of reach, Osbourn Park backed off with their press in the fourth as both teams eventually emptied the bench.

OP also got scoring from Samia Sneed (seven points), Cole (six) and Angie Yann (six).

The Cardinals were led by Demi Gilliam with 10, Peyton White with nine, and Ella Nhek with 6.
