FY26 Budget Calendar Revision Kim Van Der Hyde presented a revised budget calendar for FY 26, which provides more time to work on the budget compared to previous years. The key dates include reviewing budget calendar revisions on March 18, 2025, advertising the budget on April 23, 2025 and April 30, 2025, holding a special public hearing meeting on May 13, 2025 at 7:00 PM for both school and county budgets, and then approving the budget on May 20, 2025. This approach gives the county more flexibility and reduces pressure on staff compared to last year's tight timeline. The Board was asked to add the revised calendar to the consent agenda, with the understanding that it would help them better prepare and review the budget before the fiscal year begins. The changes were seen as beneficial, allowing more time for careful budget preparation and providing a more measured approach to budget development. NEW BUSINESS a. Review of Revenues Kim Van Der Hyde provided a comprehensive review of revenues, highlighting both projected year-end 2025 and budgeted 2026 revenues. For the current fiscal year, the county is expecting additional revenues across multiple tax categories, including real estate, personal property, and public service corporations. The 2026 budget projections show continued modest growth, with real estate revenues expected to increase to $34 million, personal property at $12.9 million, and a significant boost from public service corporations to $3.5 million, largely due to MVP pipeline estimates. Van Der Hyde praised the Treasurer's Office for exceptional delinquent tax collections and noted strong interest earnings. She emphasized that while revenues look positive, the county still faces inflationary pressures and increasing operational costs, with general fund anticipated increases around 5.5% and transfers to schools and DSS tracking around 6% historically. The full presentation can be found on the County’s website at www.pittsylvaniacountyva.gov. b. Debt Financing Discussion Kim Van Der Hyde discussed financing $11.5 million in capital projects for the upcoming fiscal year. The projects include a new CAD system replacement ($1,351,007), radio system upgrade ($1.9 million), potential courthouse HVAC replacement, property acquisition, and the final broadband payment to River Street ($4,159,300). She presented two financing options, recommending Option 2, which includes additional reimbursement for previous projects like the Moses building window replacement and PATHS building purchase. The total financing would be slightly over $9.5 million, with approximately $4 million in cash contributions available for uncertain projects like courthouse HVAC and property acquisition. Van Der Hyde emphasized that the debt payment is already built into the existing budget, so no additional funds are required. She requested Board approval to apply to the Virginia Resources Authority for financing, with the application due by May 1, 2025. The application process will require extensive documentation, including engineering reports, budget timelines, and five years of financial statements. The full presentation can be found on the County’s website at www.pittsylvaniacountyva.gov. c. Beautification Committee Presentation The Beautification Committee, represented by Phyllis Barker, presented their progress after one year of operation and made a specific budget request. They have been actively working to combat littering in the county through various initiatives, including educating students about littering, organizing county-wide cleanups, seeking grants for trail cameras, and posting billboards about littering fines. Their key proposal is to request $100,000 in the upcoming budget to hire two full- time workers dedicated to daily trash pickup throughout the county. They recommend salaries between $25,000-$30,000 plus benefits for these employees, with the remaining funds to be used for purchasing a pickup truck and necessary equipment. The committee noted that their efforts have been praised by the Danville City Council and they are committed to aggressively addressing the county's litter problem. ADJOURNMENT Tucker adjourned the Meeting at 4:08 PM. PITTSYLVANIA COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS’ WORK SESSION March 18, 2025 VIRGINIA: The Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors' ("Board") Work Session was held on March 18, 2025, in the Board Meeting Room, 39 Bank Street, SE, Chatham, Virginia 24531. CALL TO ORDER (4:30 PM) Tucker called the Meeting to Order at 4:30 PM. ROLL CALL The following Board Members were present: Robert M. Tucker, Jr. - Banister District Eddie L. Hite, Jr. - Dan River District Kenneth L. Bowman - Chatham-Blairs District Darrell W. Dalton - Callands-Gretna District Timothy W. Dudley – Staunton River District William V. (“Vic”) Ingram - Tunstall District Murray W. Whittle - Westover District APPROVAL OF AGENDA Motion to approve Agenda. RESULT: 7-0 (Approved) MOVER: Ingram SECONDER: Dalton AYES: Tucker, Hite, Bowman, Dalton, Dudley, Ingram, Whittle NAYS: None ABSTAIN: None NOT PRESENT: None PRESENTATIONS a. PJM Power Grid Presentation Chuck Angier's presentation on the PJM power grid highlighted significant challenges in integrating renewable energy sources, particularly solar, into the electrical grid. He explained that PJM, the largest regional transmission organization in the United States, is struggling to adopt green energy due to several key factors. The organization currently generates over 90% of its power from traditional sources like natural gas (43.7%), nuclear (32.3%), and coal (14.5%), with solar contributing only 1.91% despite a 369% increase in recent years. Angier emphasized the unpredictability of solar energy, pointing out its low-capacity factor of 23.4% compared to nuclear's 92%, and the massive infrastructure challenges in connecting new renewable projects. He noted that PJM currently has 1,348 solar interconnection requests, with interconnection costs for solar projects skyrocketing to $253 per kilowatt, compared to just $24 for natural gas. The presentation also critiqued government mandates, suggesting that renewable energy might be a temporary transition technology, with more promising alternatives like nuclear potentially emerging in the 2030s. Angier ultimately argued that the current renewable energy push is challenging, expensive, and potentially unsustainable given the grid's reliability requirements. b. Haven of the Dan River Presentation Sharon Hendricks, Executive Director, presented an overview of the Haven of the Dan River, a domestic and sexual abuse shelter serving Danville, Pittsylvania County, Chatham, and Gretna. The shelter currently has limited capacity, with only four bedrooms that can accommodate up to 10 people, including children. In the last six months, they've handled 486 hotline calls and sheltered 91 clients, with 30% coming from Pittsylvania County. The organization provides comprehensive services beyond shelter, including peer group sessions, life skills counseling, court accompaniment, housing assistance, and transitional support. They help clients with everything from Medicaid applications to job readiness and financial literacy. Notably, they've faced challenges with male victims, as they have no dedicated space for them, and they're dealing with a significant funding cut of $80,000 from expiring COVID funds. Hendricks highlighted the diverse range of their clients, from a three-month-old to a 68-year-old, and noted an increase in cases related to human trafficking, particularly since the casino's arrival. She emphasized their commitment to treating the "whole person" and not just providing temporary shelter, and requested potential funding support from the county to continue their critical services. CLOSED SESSION Motion to enter Closed Session. The Board entered Closed Session at 5:16 PM.

VRA Funding Application PRESENTATIONS The Board presented recognitions to Jerome Cook and Devin Taylor. HEARING OF THE CITIZENS Amy Davis, Banister District, spoke against the Balico data center project. She urged the board not to destroy the rural countryside of Chalk Level, Whittles, Mill Creek, and Sheva communities. Davis expressed deep concerns about the potential 3,500 megawatt power plant and the possibility of 84 data centers, warning that this would put Chatham on the "tariff watch chart" and severely impact the region's environmental and quality of life. She highlighted the project's potential to negatively affect air, water, noise, and light conditions, and stressed that the initial 750-acre proposal could potentially expand to 2,223 acres. Joan Walker, Banister District, and speaking on behalf of the Chatham Garden Club, read a Resolution opposing the proposed Balico data center project. The Resolution highlighted several key points: the project would rezone approximately 747 acres from residential agricultural to heavy industrial, located less than three miles from Chatham town limits. The Chatham Garden Club referenced the 2010 Pittsylvania County Comprehensive Plan, which states that industrial development should be avoided in areas with prime agricultural and farmlands. Walker emphasized that the club strongly believes the Balico project would have a significant and negative environmental impact on residents and wildlife in multiple local communities, including Chalk Level, Mill Creek, Whittles, and Sheva, as well as Motley and Transco roads. The Resolution concluded by strongly opposing the Balico LLC project and rezoning request. Ceilidh Hicks, Tunstall District, shared her opposition for the Balico project, focusing on its potential negative impact on younger generations and the community. She argued that the project sends a troubling message to youth, making it difficult for young people like herself to call the county home in the future. She highlighted several risks, including home value depreciation, air and water pollution, noise disruption, and destruction of natural habitats for both wildlife and farm animals. Hicks emphasized that the proposed land use would prevent future beneficial developments like parks, playgrounds, or housing that could attract more families. She referenced the county's comprehensive plan, which prioritizes preserving prime farmland, and urged the board to vote no on the Balico project. Tim Reynolds, Staunton River District, spoke on behalf of Balico, requesting a postponement of the hearing until April. He explained that the past month has been busy for their team, during which they have been refining the project details based on community feedback and county staff input. Reynolds highlighted a community meeting in Gretna where they presented details and answered questions respectfully. He noted they had productive meetings with county staff, making specific changes to their plan to minimize community impact. Reynolds emphasized that the data center market changes rapidly, and they are continuously adapting their proposal to stay current. He stressed their ultimate goal of attracting a high-quality end user that would bring tens of millions of dollars in revenue to the county and position Pittsylvania County at the forefront of technology. Reynolds acknowledged the complexity of the project and asked for the board's patience, stating that no one wants to reach the conclusion more than their team. He expressed openness to questions and commitment to working towards a solution that could benefit the entire county. Aubrey Myers, Staunton River District, spoke in support of the Balico data center project. He began by noting that while many "Save our farmland" signs exist, none are on the land Balico is requesting to rezone. Myers argued that tobacco and textiles no longer drive the county's economy, and technology is taking over. He highlighted the potential financial benefits, citing a figure of $158 million in potential revenue that could be distributed across county offices, benefiting all citizens. He pointed out that 95% of the county wouldn't even notice the data center, but 100% would benefit from its economic impact. Myers discussed the county's need for infrastructure improvements, such as parks, bicycle trails, and pickleball courts, which could be funded by this project. He specifically mentioned the potential water line from Hurt to Chatham as a project that could kick-start economic development. Concluding his remarks, Myers urged the board to vote yes for the project, arguing that if they don't, the entire county will suffer. Gary Hodnett, Staunton River District and Mayor of Town of Hurt, spoke strongly in favor of the Balico data center project. As a county leader, he urged the board to see this as an opportunity to bring development to the county. Hodnett emphasized that Pittsylvania County is geographically the largest county in the state, yet remains among the poorest, questioning past economic development decisions like lengthy tax moratoriums for new businesses. He argued that the county should stop standing outside and looking in, but instead open the door to progress. Hodnett claimed that all accusations against the data center project have been debunked, including concerns about noise, water drainage, pollution, and views. He highlighted that Balico is not asking for tax moratoriums and will begin paying taxes in year one. He emphasized that the project could provide opportunity for the majority of county residents, not just a small segment. Patti Reynolds, Staunton River District, strongly supported the Balico data center project. She drew attention to the previous unanimous rezoning of land for the Ringgold data center, noting that only three people spoke in opposition at that time. Reynolds argued that arguments about the Comprehensive Plan, environmental concerns, noise, air, water, light pollution, and scenic views somehow didn't apply to the Ringgold project but were now being raised for Balico. She pointed out that part of the proposed land is already adjacent to Transco village, zoned M2, and accessible to the Mountain Valley pipeline. Reynolds emphasized that the landowners want to sell their land and suggested that the negotiation documents were part of normal business processes. She highlighted potential benefits, including a water treatment plant and water line for the northern part of the county. Reynolds challenged opponents, suggesting that if the board votes no due to 924 petition signatures, they should also be prepared to vote against future tax increases. She argued that Balico has worked to make this a win-win opportunity for Pittsylvania County and urged the board to vote yes for what she sees as a great opportunity. Collin Adams, Staunton River District, spoke in support of the data storage facility. Drawing from his personal history of working in tobacco fields as a young man, Adams acknowledged that the farming industry has significantly changed and no longer sustains the county as it once did. He emphasized that revenue from farming has decreased, and the county faces financial challenges without alternative income sources. Adams argued that the data storage facility presents an invaluable opportunity to bring substantial income to the county, potentially alleviating the need for tax increases on residents. He highlighted that the facility would not only generate revenue but also create jobs and stimulate economic growth. Adams stressed that the role of the Board of Supervisors is to act in the best interest of the majority of taxpayers, ensuring decisions benefit the county long-term. He respectfully requested that each board member vote in favor of the data storage facility, positioning it as a critical step towards securing a prosperous future for Pittsylvania County. Steven Watson, Staunton River District, spoke in support of the Balico project. Drawing from his personal background of growing up on a farm just outside Chatham, Watson acknowledged his deep ties to farmland but emphasized the importance of looking towards the future. He wants to create opportunities for his children and grandchildren, hoping they will have reasons to return to the county. Watson addressed concerns about noise and environmental impact by sharing his farm experiences, noting that rural life was never quiet - citing loud tractors, irrigation equipment, and cattle noises as examples of natural disruptions. He argued that farming itself has environmental challenges, such as pesticide runoff and methane emissions from cattle. Watson pointed out that only about 100 residents would be in close proximity to the proposed facility, questioning whether decisions should be made for the few or the many. He urged the board to carefully consider the project, requesting they pray about the decision and ultimately approve the Balico project for the county's future development. Greg Buppert, a lawyer from the Southern Environmental Law Center, spoke in opposition to the Balico project. Representing Kathy Stump and other residents, he expressed frustration with Balico's repeated delays. Buppert urged the board to make April 15th the final date for project consideration. He challenged Balico's claims about the power plant's scale, pointing out that while the company describes it as a modest 300-megawatt gas plant with temporary turbines, their concept drawings show eight permanent turbines capable of producing over 10 times that amount. Buppert highlighted that Balico's website indicates the site could generate 3,500 megawatts of power, potentially making it the largest gas plant in Virginia and the second-largest in the country. He raised significant environmental concerns, particularly about air pollution, noting that burning gas produces fine particulates linked to respiratory illnesses, congestive heart failure, and premature deaths. Buppert strongly argued against the company's suggestion to ignore the Comprehensive Plan, stating that the plan provides stability precisely for moments like this and offers multiple reasons to deny the rezoning request. Logan Mills, Callands-Gretna District, a full-time tobacco, small grain, and beef cattle farmer, spoke briefly against the Balico project. Despite being from a different part of the county, Mills expressed deep concern about the project's potential precedent. He noted that within the next year, he will be unable to travel in any direction without seeing solar panels. As a land steward, he was worried about what door this project might open for future developments in other parts of the county. Mills emphasized his primary concern: the impact on future generations. He stressed that agriculture is still alive in the county and that there are young people like himself who want to continue farming and build a future in the area. His concise testimony highlighted the importance of preserving agricultural land and opportunities for young farmers. Sandra Payne, Chatham-Blairs District, urged board members to take a car trip down Chalk Level Road to Mill Creek Church, suggesting they stop and experience the current natural beauty of the area. Payne painted a vivid picture of the meadow, describing the birds, wind, and peaceful environment that would be destroyed by the proposed project. She characterized the potential development as a "concrete jungle" that would eliminate the current natural landscape. Payne raised specific concerns about water usage, noting the project would consume over a million gallons of water daily, 365 days a year, and questioned whether the water supply could replenish fast enough. She challenged board members by asking if they would vote for such a project if it were within 500-800 feet of their own home. Payne also expressed skepticism about the projected financial benefits, referencing potential legal challenges and tax disputes. She concluded with a pointed statement that "nothing from nothing is nothing," emphasizing her belief that the project offers no real value to the community. Lexi Shelhorse, Callands-Gretna District, questioned the authenticity of letters supporting the Balico project. She highlighted two specific letters that raised suspicion. The first was from Charles City County, dated January 21st and signed by Charles Coda, an interim County Administrator who resigned a week later. She noted that the county administrator's office had no record of the letter, and it appeared to be on old letterhead, suggesting it was a personal opinion rather than an official statement. The second letter was from the local Farm Bureau, which she argued did not align with the state organization's clear policy opposing data centers on agricultural and forested land. Shelhorse pointed out that the Virginia Farm Bureau's policy explicitly states opposition to data centers on agricultural land, and the local letter was not endorsed by the state organization. She also raised the question of revenue, bringing up the Anchorstone project, which is 950 acres under construction and comparable to the Balico project. She emphasized the need for transparency and questioned the legitimacy of the supporting documentation. Robert Kee, Chatham-Blairs District, spoke on the technical details of Balico's proposed gas turbine. Referencing a press question and answer session, he discussed the FT8 mobile pack gas turbine manufactured by Mitsubishi. Key highlighted that according to the manufacturer's website, the turbine can deliver 31 megawatts of power at 36.7% efficiency. Using Balico's claimed 60% efficiency rating, he calculated that the project would consume 52.7 million megawatt hours of energy daily, with 60% powering on-site operations and 40% becoming waste heat. To put this into perspective, he noted this energy consumption would be enough to power 41,300 houses. Kee emphasized that all this energy would be converted to heat and released on-site, raising significant concerns about the ecological impact. He argued that the heat energy released would be catastrophic for the immediate area. His technical analysis aimed to demonstrate the potentially severe environmental consequences of the proposed project, challenging Balico's claims about the facility's efficiency and environmental impact. Emily Mayhew, Staunton River District, spoke in support of the Balico project. Drawing from her 20 years of management experience, she emphasized the importance of weighing pros and cons when making difficult decisions. Mayhew argued that regardless of the board's decision, some people would be unhappy. She urged the board to consider the overall benefits of the project for the entire county. Highlighting potential advantages, she noted that while Hurt would benefit from a water plant, the entire county would gain fire hydrants along the Route 29 corridor, benefiting local fire departments. Mayhew stressed that schools, fire departments, and EMS could significantly benefit from the tax revenue generated by the project. She mentioned specific infrastructure needs, such as repairs at Hurt School and Mount Airy, which could be addressed with the project's revenue. Mayhew also emphasized the potential for good-paying jobs and criticized the county's history of losing major business opportunities to other areas. She concluded by calling for a civil, Christian- like approach to the discussion, regardless of differing opinions, and thanked the board for their service. Jordan Kee, Chatham-Blairs District, highlighted what Balico has stated they will NOT do. She quoted Balico representative Mr. Ali, who when asked about local contractor promises, said "I do not remember making any promises." Kee emphasized several key points about Balico's claims: they will not be paying taxes directly on the data centers, but rather whoever occupies them will pay taxes; they will run a water line to their entrance but then leave maintenance responsibilities to the county; they have no current tenants lined up for the proposed data centers; and their statements about not using eminent domain are vague and non-committal. She argued that their language like "does not plan" or "does not anticipate" leaves room for future actions. Kee characterized the project as unregulated and unproven, using a colorful metaphor that it "smells like three-day-old fish" and should be removed from consideration in Pittsylvania County. Alice Bond, Staunton River District, presented research from the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) regarding the Balico project. She spoke with Paul Jenkins from the DEQ's Blue Ridge division, who assured her that air and water emissions would be continuously monitored for as long as the facility operates. Jenkins confirmed that maintaining air and water quality would also keep the land healthy and support animal life. Bond shared her personal experience visiting the sites of Balico's power stations and a data center in Mecklenburg County, where she found the noise levels to be extremely low. She noted that only one facility produced a very minimal sound, while others were virtually silent. Regarding environmental concerns, Bond explained that while the water output might not be drinkable, it would be safe for streams and rivers according to strict DEQ standards, and water treatment plants would further filter and test the water. She acknowledged that progress is naturally disruptive but argued that the current farmland is not being actively farmed like in the past. Bond urged the board to consider the facts and the potential long-term revenue benefits for the entire county. Steve Worley, Staunton River District, spoke in support of the Balico project, focusing on the water line infrastructure benefits. He highlighted that the project would fund a new water treatment plant and construct 20 miles of water line from Hurt to Chatham, estimating a cost of $35-$50 million at no expense to the county. Worley emphasized that this water line would provide safe, dependable water along the Route 29 corridor, including approximately 200 fire hydrants, and offer water backup for Gretna and Chatham. He stressed that the county currently lacks the means to fund such a project independently. Worley discussed the county's long-term capital needs, noting $182 million in capital improvements and $27.3 million in outstanding school bonds. He estimated the project could generate around $148 million in annual tax revenue, potentially easing tax burdens for both the county and its citizens. Worley argued that rezoning 750 acres would not sacrifice the county's way of life and that the board has an obligation to provide opportunities for future generations. He urged the board to stop saying no to progress and to act now to ensure the county's survival. Darrell Campbell, Chatham-Blairs District, emphasized that while money itself is not evil, it's the love of money that becomes problematic. Campbell quoted a college president who said, "You can't do wrong to get a chance to do right." He argued that the discussion has been overwhelmingly focused on financial benefits, which he finds concerning. Campbell stressed that the core issue is location, not just monetary gain, and warned against "robbing Peter to pay Paul." He characterized the potential economic approach as "bad economics and sinful ethics." Drawing from biblical references, Campbell noted that wealth alone does not guarantee virtue, referencing the rich young ruler and a wealthy man in a biblical parable who missed something fundamental in life. His testimony suggested that while money can be a neutral tool, the community must be careful about what they ask for, warning that they might get it and then have to pay an unexpected price. Campbell's message was a moral caution against pursuing economic development at the expense of community values and ethical considerations. Richard Cocke, Staunton River District, spoke in support of the Balico project. He argued that the benefits of the data center far outweigh its potential liabilities. Cocke addressed noise concerns by comparing the project's sound levels to existing local noise sources like Norfolk Southern Railroad, tractor-trailer traffic, and dumpster loading. He suggested that the developer has worked to buffer and minimize disruption. Drawing from personal experience, Cocke noted that while people want progress like internet and power, they often resist when such developments are near their own property. He referenced his past experience on a landfill siting committee, where everyone recognized the need but no one wanted it in their backyard. Cocke characterized the project as a "win-win" for local, regional, state, and federal interests, and emphasized its importance for national security. He highlighted Virginia's leadership in data centers and the potential for the Route 29 corridor to benefit from public water infrastructure. Cocke urged the board to consider the broader implications, suggesting that the project could help avoid building a new water treatment plant and provide critical infrastructure for Chatham and Gretna. That concluded the twenty (20) speakers Tucker said were allowed to speak. The Board recessed at 8:24 PM. The Board reconvened at 8:36 PM. PUBLIC HEARINGS Rezoning Public Hearings 1.

The applicant is requesting to rezone fourteen (14) parcels, totaling 763.16 acres, from R-1, Residential Suburban Subdivision District, and A-1, Agricultural District, to M-2, Industrial District, Heavy Industry, to allow for a Private Utility (Natural Gas Power Plant) and Data Centers. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION Balico, LLC is requesting to rezone fourteen (14) parcels, totaling 763.16 acres, from R-1, Residential Suburban Subdivision District, and A-1, Agricultural District, to M-2, Industrial District, Heavy Industry, to allow for a Private Utility (Natural Gas Power Plant) and Data Centers. Currently, the properties are vacant or being used for active farming operations. If rezoned, the applicant is proposing to construct a 3500- megawatt natural gas power plant, that would be privately owned, to generate the electricity needed to construct a data center complex that would consist of approximately twelve (12), two-story data centers. The applicant has met with Community Development, Public Works, Public Safety, VDOT, and County Administration regarding the proposed project to discuss possible impacts on infrastructure and neighboring properties. Additional engineering and information will be needed by Staff to determine the actual water needs and required infrastructure improvements for the project. Based on the site plans submitted, a 40’ vegetative buffer is proposed, and the data centers will be a minimum of 75’ from any exterior property line of the project. This is the minimum setback required by the Pittsylvania County Zoning Ordinance. Staff is meeting with the Attorney representing the applicant regarding proffers. Draft proffers are being reviewed by the County Attorney but have not been finalized. Staff is aware that some water is available from the Town of Chatham and that the applicant is pursuing an agreement with the Town of Hurt for water long-term. This agreement would potentially involve running a waterline down US Highway 29. At the time of this staff summary, the applicant has not received permission from VDOT to place a proposed waterline within the US Highway 29 right-of-way. Because this is a limited access right-of-way, permission must be granted from the Commissioner and is not guaranteed. Staff also continues to have concerns relating to buffering, setbacks, noise, light pollution, construction traffic, and decommissioning relating to this project. While draft proffers have been submitted, Staff does not feel that all adverse effects have been mitigated by the proffers to date. Once the property is rezoned to M-2, all uses listed under Section 35-402 are a permitted use. FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION The Comprehensive Plan designates the future land use as Industrial, Medium to High Density Residential, and Agricultural and Rural Residential. ZONING AND CURRENT USE OF SURROUNDING PROPERTIES Adjacent to A-1, Agricultural District, R-1, Residential Suburban Subdivision District, and M-2, Industrial District, Heavy Industry, zoned properties. SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN Included. RECOMMENDATION Based on the lack of finalized proffers adequately addressing Staff concerns relating to potential adverse effects on adjacent property owners, Staff recommends DENIAL of Case R-25-001. The applicant has stated that additional revisions to the proffers are to be submitted. Based on those revisions, Staff’s recommendation could change. PLANNING COMMISSION OPTIONS: 1.

Main Street Chatham, Virginia 24531 Re: Application for Rezoning submitted by Balico, LLC Dear Ms. Ragsdale: Our firm represents Balico, LLC (the “Applicant”), which seeks to rezone assorted parcels totaling more than 760 acres in the Banister District (the “Properties”) to serve as a data center campus. Specifically, the Applicant seeks approval for construction and operation of private electric power generation infrastructure and, with a subsequent special use permit, a collection of data centers powered by such infrastructure. The Applicant previously withdrew, without penalty, an application with a larger scope; as indicated at the time, the Applicant has not abandoned its plans and now resubmits this application that includes a more modest footprint and which will address the concerns of many neighboring property owners. Application Materials In support of this request, please find enclosed the following items (together, the “Application”): •Applications for Rezoning from the owners of the Properties (the “Owners”); •Petitions to the Board of Supervisors from the Owners; •Executed Sign Affidavits from the Owners; •Special Powers of Attorney from the Owners; •A list of Adjoining Properties; •Site plans for the Properties; and •An application Fee in the amount of $300.00. Our intention has been to provide each item required for consideration of the Application. To the extent that any item has been overlooked, we will gladly and promptly supplement the enclosed documents. Relevant Background Information In recent months, Pittsylvania County has taken steps toward welcoming significant capital investment in the form of data centers, with the Board of Zoning Appeals approving the County’s first data centers during its meeting last Thursday. Such centers are increasingly essential to the local, national, and international businesses operating in our cloud-based economy. Importantly, these projects generate significant tax revenue for localities without requiring the level of County-provided services that a traditional project of this size would necessitate. Nearby Mecklenburg County serves as a prime example of the benefits that such development can offer, allowing a locality to make important investments in education while minimizing the burden on taxpayers. In order to operate, data centers require reliable, robust sources of power, and such sources are in short supply. The Applicant is a Virginia-based company with a track record of developing complicated energy projects efficiently, which is exactly the skill set needed to facilitate additional data center investment in Pittsylvania County. The Applicant has secured a Letter of Intent from EQT, owner of the Mountain Valley Pipeline, for the supply of a sufficient volume of natural gas to fuel the power plant proposed for the campus. With this Application, the Applicant – with the support of all Owners whose properties are included – proposes rezoning more than 760 acres in the Banister District to M-2, Industrial to provide for private electric power generation and, ultimately, a series of data centers (should a subsequent request for a special use permit be approved). The graphic enclosed as Exhibit 1 identifies the Properties that constitute such acreage. It is important to note that this project abuts existing M-2, Industrial zoning. The project in its current form envisions three distinct uses of the acreage: • On the right side of the graphic (east of Chalk Level Road and north of Transco Road), acreage will be used for private electric power generation and data centers (the “Eastern End”). Current site design anticipates a combination of aero- derivative mobile gas turbines (some of which will be replaced by permanent turbines) and data centers. • On the left side of the graphic (north of Chalk Level Road), acreage will be developed for end users of data centers (the “Western End”). This acreage would also provide a connection to existing gas pipeline infrastructure. This gas would power the turbines mentioned above. • In the middle, the southern portions of the included acreage would be used to connect the eastern and western components of the project, transmitting gas through an underground, lateral pipeline to be constructed for this project. Electric and water infrastructure would also be constructed and buried, and a service road would run parallel to the infrastructure. These parcels are intended to retain their agricultural character and use moving forward. Power Generation As an initial matter, because this is envisioned as a private generation project, the Applicant would not sell energy on the open market. Rather, the power generated would be used for the data centers clustered on the campus. If the rezoning is approved, the Applicant would acquire mobile gas turbines to provide up to 300 megawatts of power. These turbines are designed to limit advance site preparation and reduce the cost and time needed for installation. The turbines would be regulated by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), not the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Applicant has engaged in preliminary permitting discussions with DEQ. It should be noted that these turbines meet Best Available Control Technology (BACT) as defined by the EPA. The enclosed site plans have also been designed to allow for the installation of permanent turbine infrastructure should the Applicant choose to pursue such course of action. Site Plan Highlights The Applicant appreciates that the project’s neighbors are a mix of industrial, agricultural, and residential uses. In recognition of this diversity, the Applicant has – in its site plans – met or exceeded required setbacks and endeavored to maximize screening and buffering so that any disruption is minimized. In particular, where existing agricultural and silvicultural uses can be maintained, the Applicant intends to do so. In addition to these considerations, the Applicant is committed to developing an appropriate list of proffers to mitigate concerns with respect to the project. While exact terms would be the result of discussions with County officials, the Applicant would initially expect such proffers to include, but not necessarily be limited to, restrictions on the permitted and special uses on the parcels in question, specific buffers/screening, and appropriate protections for neighbors with respect to light and sound. Local Engagement For several months, the Applicant has worked to solicit the support of the Owners for this rezoning and has kept County officials apprised of its progress in this regard. Following the filing of this Application, the Applicant will continue its efforts – previously begun during two community engagement meetings – to build broader community support, making the case regarding both the need for, and the considerable benefits of, the project that is being proposed. * * * Thank you in advance for your consideration of this Application.

The Plan selected the year 2030 as its planning horizon and was formally adopted in 2010 before being reviewed, but not revised, in both 2015 and 2020. With the pace of change both globally and locally, the Plan does not reflect the current reality of the landscape in Pittsylvania County, nor did or could it anticipate the opportunities that would arise by virtue of fiber and pipeline investments that have occurred. Nonetheless, despite these limitations, the Plan is not inconsistent with the growth represented by the Balico Technology Campus. In fact, the Plan – as shown in the discussion below – includes assorted provisions that support precisely this kind of thoughtful development. Role of the Plan Comprehensive plans play a distinct role in Virginia land use, but this distinction is not intended to hamstring localities presented with generational economic development opportunities, especially when such opportunities could not have been foreseen a decade and a half prior. As the Plan indicates on its very first page, it “does not have the status of law” and “is a policy document intended to provide direction for present and future policy makers in making the laws and setting the policies to guide the County’s development.” (p.1) Virginia courts have re-emphasized the advisory role of comprehensive plans. For example, just last year, the Virginia Court of Appeals stated: a comprehensive plan is generally ‘a guideline for the development and implementation of a zoning ordinance’ and ‘does not, by itself, act as an instrument of land use control.’1 The Court further shared that a comprehensive plan’s minimum standards are “not requirements to be applied inflexibly.” Importantly, the Board has “discretion to decide whether to adhere to those standards in a comprehensive plan or “follow some other reasonable approach in evaluating individual rezoning applications.”2 Here, whether guided by the Plan or “some other reasonable approach,” the Board of Supervisors has ample grounds upon which to support the rezoning requested for the Balico Technology Campus. 1 Hartley v. Board of Supervisors of Brunswick County, Virginia, 897 S.E.2d 217, 225 (Va. Ct. App. 2024) (quoting 1987-88 Op. Va. Att'y Gen. 212, 213). 2 Id. (Emphasis added; internal quotations omitted but qu oting Board of Supervisors of Loudoun County v. Lerner, 267 S.E.2d 100, 104 (Va. 1980)). Chapter I – Introduction and Planning Process What the Plan Says As it introduces the task at hand, the Plan establishes that it “seeks . . . to guide . . . development to appropriate areas of the County based on the carrying capacity of the land, the existing development character, and the presence of infrastructure and public facilities . . . ” (p.1) The Plan also identifies a number of “Community Goals” that were included in the prior iteration of the Plan and which “continue to be relevant” (p.9) and are particularly pertinent to the proposal at hand: #1 – To stimulate economic activity and encourage development that supports a healthy, stable, and diverse economy. #2 – To anticipate and plan for population change and accommodate population change in an orderly and efficient manner. #4 – To provide the public services and community facilities necessary to support development as economically and efficiently as possible. #6 – To promote the efficient and financially sound operation of the County government and minimize the financial burden on the County taxpayers. How the Project Supports the Plan First and foremost, the Project is sited in an appropriate area, as it builds on existing gas and fiber infrastructure and does not exceed the carrying capacity of the land. It also satisfies each of the four goals enumerated above. The Project brings quality jobs to the region and assists with further economic diversification; leads to significant water infrastructure that will benefit thousands of residents and help to spur further economic development in the northern part of Pittsylvania County; and provides substantial financial resources that will minimize the tax burden on County residents while allowing for considerable investments that are essential for maintaining and increasing population in the current competitive environment. * * * Chapter II – Natural and Cultural Environment What the Plan Says The Plan’s second chapter begins with the clear statement that the “community’s natural and cultural environment is the building block – the base – upon which community planning takes place.” (p.1) After a survey of the County’s environment, the Plan moves into specific goals, the first goal being to “protect and enhance the natural environment.” (p.21) Separate objectives in support of this goal call for the protection and enhancement of both “the County’s surface and ground water resources” (p.21) and its “visual resources.” (p.22) Among the strategies focused on surface and ground water resources, the Plan recommends evaluation of “all new development partially on the basis of its impact on water resources.” (p.21) And, with respect to visual resources, the Plan encourages strategies that: • Develop tree protection policies to encourage preservation of mature trees and tree clusters during development activities; • Promote and encourage low impact land development practices that reduce land clearing and grading operations and maintain natural drainage patterns; and • Promote reasonable landscaping requirements for new development projects. How the Project Supports the Plan Both the Project itself and its separate proffers submitted to the County demonstrate that growth and stewardship are not mutually exclusive. With respect to water, the Project proposes withdrawal of surface water from the Staunton River pursuant to an existing permit (and using only a fraction of the permitted volume, to boot). It also rules out the use of ground water and commits to protection of creeks within its footprint. And the Project’s proffers are significant and robust in both their protection of existing trees and the creation or preservation of appropriate landscaping and buffering that minimizes the visual impact of development. When the proffer to maintain at least 40% (roughly 300 acres) of the total footprint as open space, the commitment to protecting the County’s natural environment is a clear and obvious one. * * * Chapter IV – Community Facilities and Services What the Plan Says Chapter IV tackles the inherent tension between growth and demand for public services and facilities. Even after fifteen years, many of the items highlighted in this portion of the Plan remain just as, if not more, urgent. In a section titled “Fire and Life Safety,” the Plan references a 2006 state report that recommended that “the County should increase the annual funding for the volunteer fire/rescue agencies to provide new apparatus, equipment and stations” along with “creating incentives to support recruitment and retention, enhanced communications, rotating equipment, and covering volunteers under the County’s workers compensation plan.” (p.10) Pittsylvania County, not unlike surrounding jurisdictions, continues to face these challenges in 2025. The Plan also recognizes the centrality of key utilities to continued growth (“Public water and wastewater facilities are a major factor influencing the location and scale of a community’s growth patterns”). (p.24) It also appreciates the need to prioritize “expansion of water and sewer service . . . where job creation and service fees can help cover the cost of” extensions. (p.24) Moreover, the Plan establishes that the County’s “Economic Development Corridor, which follows the County’s main transportation routes, should be the top priority for utility service, due to its potential for economic development returns.” (pp.24-26) Importantly, the Plan also references a longstanding “proposal to expand and upgrade the water treatment plant at the former Klopman Mills site to feed a waterline that could serve the Town of Hurt, parts of the Leesville Lake area, and Route 29 south to the Town of Gretna.” (p.26) Distilling these items into objectives, the Plan highlights the need to “develop and maintain public water and wastewater systems to meet the needs of a growing commercial, industrial, and residential base.” (p.30) To accomplish this objective, the Plan suggests strategies that include (p.30): • Developing a County-wide, interconnected utility system to provide water and sewer service to all growth areas of the County and the Economic Development Corridor. • Coordinating water and sewer service with the Future Land Use Map to encourage planned, orderly growth by prioritizing utility service to identified residential, commercial, and industrial growth areas; and • Taking full advantage of enabling legislation pertaining to the use of proffers . . . to help finance utility infrastructure improvements. How the Project Supports the Plan Simply put, the revenues that the Balico Technology Campus would generate for Pittsylvania County would be transformational for the County’s facilities and services. The benefits for fire and life safety are clear: the County would have additional revenues to appropriate for such priorities, and a portion of the water surcharge that Balico will pay to the Town of Hurt promises to provide even more support for the volunteer organizations that form the backbone of fire and life safety support in Pittsylvania County. The Project’s investment in water infrastructure, both in Hurt and along the Economic Development Corridor, allows for substantial progress toward long-held goals regarding utility expansion that will benefit individual residents, including in the event of fires, and lay the groundwork for future private investment. And, through the use of proffers, the County will benefit from these improvements at no cost to it or its taxpayers. * * * Chapter VI – Economic Development What the Plan Says In discussing economic development, the Plan sets forth a singular goal (p.8; emphasis added): Build a healthy and diverse economic base that provides well-paying jobs and generates sufficient revenue to pay for the service needs of both businesses and the citizenry without degrading the County’s natural resources or the overall quality of life. Among the many objectives of this goal, the Plan identifies the following (p.9): #1 – Continue to expand Pittsylvania County’s commercial and industrial tax base. #3 – Expand job opportunities for Pittsylvania County residents. #5 – Promote Pittsylvania County as an attractive location for economic development. #7 – Encourage creativity in the design of economic development projects. Two of the strategies to support achieving these objectives are particularly relevant: • Development of business/industrial parks in the County, with primary emphasis on improving vehicular access and public sewer and water and sewer and stormwater management facilities in economic development areas. • Require landscaping and, to the extent practical, the preservation of existing trees and vegetation in all new economic development and redevelopment. How the Project Supports the Plan The Project undoubtedly satisfies this Chapter’s goal: even conservative estimates of revenue generated by the Project provide the Board of Supervisors with tremendous flexibility (that does not presently exist) for how and how much to fund local services. And the Project does so through a footprint of 750 acres, at least 40% of which will not be developed. Development of such a small fraction of available agricultural acreage does not degrade the County’s natural resources. The Project represents a significant expansion of Pittsylvania County’s commercial and industrial tax base and introduces new job opportunities in industries, such as data centers, that will only continue to grow in importance. Support for the Project will burnish the County’s reputation as being open for business, including for opportunities – like the Project – that have not previously been explored in the immediate area. While the County has invested in industrial parks during the life of the Plan, there is currently either no space for the Project in any such park or, where a park may have uncommitted space, there is not sufficient gas supply. By focusing on the footprint outlined in the Project, Balico has intentionally and thoughtfully identified an area that has the key infrastructure – namely, gas and fiber – that would be attractive to the County as it develops future parks, and the Project’s investment in and extension of water resources provides direct support for the Economic Development Corridor. (And, while perhaps stating the obvious, it is important to note that any further development of industrial parks in Pittsylvania County will be through the conversion of current farmland.) Last but not least, as described above, the Project’s has – through proffers – committed to preserving existing trees and maintaining or creating appropriate vegetative buffers consistent with the final strategy of this Chapter. * * * Chapter VII – Transportation What the Plan Says The Plan appropriately notes that “[a] community’s land use decisions will directly impact the adequacy of existing transportation networks.” (p.1) Among the County’s existing primary routes are U.S. 29 and Route 57. (p.4) Both of these are identified as “crucial to the functional classified system and . . . central to the Rural Regional Long-Range Transportation Planning efforts.” (p.11) In discussing the relationship between future land use activity and transportation, the Plan stated that, in industrial use areas “parcels developed should have direct or nearby access to transportation facilities and public utilities along the transportation corridors.” (p.14) Further recognizing “the importance of the key transportation routes of Route 58 and Route 29,” the Plan noted the desirability of locating "industry projects on or adjacent to the highway corridor.” (p.14) How the Project Supports the Plan The Project is proximate to two “primary routes” within the County, U.S. 29 and Route 57, which furthers the County’s stated goal of locating new industrial development on or adjacent to the Economic Development Corridor. Balico will also minimize the impact of the Project on non-primary routes through proffers, directing construction traffic away from such roads. Through the Project, the County will also achieve greater deployment of public utilities along U.S. 29, which will assist in efforts to cluster future projects along this portion of Economic Development Corridor in northern Pittsylvania County. It is also important to highlight a possibility raised by the Plan – i.e., to “[r]equire traffic impact studies for all new development expected to generate or attract over 250 vehicles per day” (p.82) – but which has not been adopted by the County. As such, a traffic impact study would only be required here if its projected trips per day exceeded the levels established by VDOT, which is not the case. * * * Chapter VIII – Land Use and Growth Management What the Plan Says The Plan identifies the Town of Chatham and area outside of its limits (though not inclusive of the footprint of the Project) as a growth area during the 20-year period of the plan. (p.2) At the time of drafting, the boundaries are defined “based on existing utility service areas and projections of where utility service could be reasonably extended. It is expected that most of the development in the County, over the 20 year period of the plan, will take place in these growth areas.” (p.2). The Plan also identifies the Economic Development Corridor as capturing “areas most suitable for commercial and industrial development.” (p.2) With respect to the siting of industrial projects, the Plan is frank and realistic, encouraging a mindset that allows Pittsylvania County to be responsive to economic development market forces (p.8; emphasis added): In reality, certain criteria must be met for any industrial site to be successfully developed. Among these criteria are adequate and available utility services, suitable topography, convenient and adequate transportation routes and transportation modes, and an available workforce. Not all areas of the County can meet [these] criteria and development tends to come to the areas that are the most suitable. It must be recognized that these industrial development decisions are generally market driven and that the County must respond to the needs of industrial clients. The Plan nonetheless recognizes the importance of mitigating the impact of locating industrial development next to other land uses: “[a]ll new industrial projects need to address potential impacts on the surrounding area, such as increased traffic, and buffer areas should be designed to avoid noise and visual impacts.” (p.8) When development “does occur in the rural agricultural and forestal portions of the County,” it “should be designed to incorporate significant open spaces and minimize environmental impacts on the County’s land, air and water resources.” (p.10) In evaluating future development requests, “the economic and quality of life benefits of open space and agricultural and forest land uses should be considered, as well as the adequacy of public facilities and services in the area.” (p.10) It is important to maintain a balance between development and preservation objectives throughout the County. (p.10) The Plan also reinforces the advisory nature of this effort, stating that this Chapter’s “Future Land Use Map is a general guide for future development of Pittsylvania County” but “is not intended to be parcel specific and it is not an official zoning map.” (p.13; emphasis added) This Chapter reiterates that “[i]ndustrial growth should be focused on areas with public utilities and easy access to adequate transportation facilities.” (p.13) Specifically, industrial activities “should have direct or nearby access to transportation facilities and public utilities. Conflicts with residential areas should be avoided or minimized through the use of setbacks, screens, and buffers.” (p.15) In particular, the “Economic Development Corridor should be the primary focus area for economic development in the County due to its transportation access and public utility availability. A key goal for the County is to have full water and sewer service throughout these east/west and north/south corridors.” (pp.15-16) Two of the Plan’s objectives with respect to land use are of particular note (p.21): • Promote a strong and diversified industrial and commercial base which does not create significant impacts on residential areas, prime agricultural lands or public facilities. • Discourage scattered development patterns which are incompatible with the County’s ability to provide adequate and cost effective public services and facilities. Among its strategies with respect to these objectives, the Plan encourages the County to “[d]irect development to areas already served, or proposed to be served, by adequate public facilities and infrastructure.” (p.22) How the Project Supports the Plan First and foremost, the Project’s footprint is adjacent to the Chatham growth area, representing a natural extension of such area, particularly in light of the fiber and gas infrastructure already present. The Project’s proximity to the Economic Development Corridor also aligns with the Plan’s focus on clustering development along that stretch. When these considerations are combined with the Plan’s reiteration that it is a general guide, the proposed location of the Project is a natural and expected next step for Pittsylvania County. And, by helping to extend water along US 29, the Project makes a much more realistic outcome the Plan’s stated aim of directing development along the Economic Development Corridor. Through its extensive proffers focused on open space, buffering, and existing tree preservation, Balico also ensures that the Project achieves the County’s sought-after balance between development and preservation, ensuring that impacts on neighboring property owners are minimized to the greatest degree possible. Furthermore, the Project is a significant step toward a more diversified industrial base and develops no more than 450 acres in the process. * * * Conclusion The Project finds ample support in the Plan, whether the document is applied strictly or, as appropriate, construed more generally. The Project is sited near existing industrial activity, located adjacent to a designated growth area, and has convenient proximity and easy access to the Economic Development Corridor. It allows the County to enjoy continued growth that will increase the tax base significantly while, through the good-faith negotiations of Balico and the County, not sacrificing preservation in the name of progress. And, just as importantly, through its extension of water from the Town of Hurt, the Project lays a promising foundation for additional industrial growth along the Economic Development Corridor and reliable water for drinking and fire protection for residents in parts of the County that are either underserved or unserved. In sum, the Project is high value, low impact, and entirely consistent with Pittsylvania County’s vision – articulated in the Plan and demonstrated by the vision of the Board of Supervisors – for a future that honors the County’s agricultural past while embracing its next opportunities. # # # PITTSYLVANIA COUNTY CODE CHAPTER 41 NOISE CONTROL ORDINANCE § 41-1.

Balico Technology Campus Aeroderivative Turbine Noise Analysis Below is an analysis and graphic illustration of the noise reduction features of the Balico Technology Campus resulting in a fence line noise level of 53db. This analysis assumes eight (8) Mitsubishi FT8 aeroderivative turbines at the power source. • Each open-ended FT8 turbine produces 95db at close range • We will be including SCR emissions reduction equipment on each turbine, which also reduce noise levels by 15-20db and we have assumed a 15db reduction here (80db per turbine) • Eight turbines (at 80db each) operating together will produce a cumulative noise level of 89db. • 500 feet of distance will reduce the noise level from 89db to 75db • A concrete wall will reduce noise levels by 10db (to 65db) • A 20’ berm will provide an additional 12db reduction, resulting in a final noise level of ~53db.

State major facilities are facilities that emit more than 100 tons per year, but less than 250 tons per year, of any criteria pollutant (PM, PM10, PM2.5, CO, NOX, SO2, and VOC) and are not listed in the 28 categories under “major stationary source” as defined in 9VAC5-80-1615. State major permits are issued through the same regulations as minor NSR permits (i.e. Article 6) and must be obtained before any activity on an applicable project can begin. State major permits can be used to keep a facility below the PSD major stationary source thresholds by establishing practically and federally enforceable permit conditions that limit a facility’s uncontrolled emissions. Permit Applicability Permit applicability for state major permits, like permit applicability for minor new source review (NSR) permits, is based on uncontrolled emissions. State major permits are for Title V major facilities that are not Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) major facilities. They are facilities that emit more than 100 tons per year, but less than 250 tons per year, of any criteria pollutant (PM, PM10, PM2.5, CO, NOX, SO2, and VOC) and are not listed in the 28 categories under “major stationary source” as defined in 9VAC5-80-1615. Optional Development of Final Combined Cycle Power Generation: If NGCC turbines can be acquired to meet project schedules the aeroderivative turbines may not be utilized. Below is a summary of the NGCC option. A. Project Overview  The Balico Technology Campus is a high-density AI data center campus requiring dedicated, behind-the-fence power generation.  Power generation will be entirely self-contained, with no interconnection to PJM or external grids.  The first phase will deploy 1,600MW of Natural Gas Combined Cycle (NGCC) generation. B. Rationale for NGCC Power Generation  Reliability: Ensures uninterrupted power for data center operations without reliance on external grids.  Efficiency: Combined cycle power plants achieve ~60% thermal efficiency, maximizing fuel use.  Scalability: Phased expansion allows capacity growth in alignment with campus power demands. Balico Air Quality & Dispersion Analysis Chalk Level Road, Pittsylvania County, Virginia Introduction Balico is committed to developing one of the cleanest natural gas power plants in the United States, utilizing state-of-the-art Mitsubishi J-Class turbines to ensure compliance with Best Available Control Technology (BACT) standards. This 3,500MW simple-cycle natural gas plant will provide reliable, low-emission energy while meeting and exceeding EPA and Virginia air quality standards. A key part of our commitment is ensuring minimal environmental impact through advanced emission controls, efficient dispersion, and strict regulatory compliance. This report outlines our air dispersion analysis, demonstrating that the plant will have no significant impact on local air quality and will operate well below National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).

The use of aeroderivaƟve turbines will help increase the speed at which power can begin to be generated at the site. Balico is planning to install up to 12 Mitsubishi FT8 aeroderivative gas turbines at the site. Each FT8 unit is rated at 28.4 MW under ISO conditions (59°F, sea level, 60% relative humidity), and we are targeting a total power output between 300 and 350 MW. Emissions & Regulatory Limits Virginia’s State Major Source Permit sets a 250-ton-per-year cap on regulated pollutants such as CO and NOx before triggering Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) review. To ensure compliance, we will be implementing Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems (emissions scrubbers) to reduce NOx and CO emissions by approximately 90%. SCR Implementation & Expected Emissions With SCR installed, each FT8 turbine is expected to emit:  CO (Carbon Monoxide): ~4.5 lbs per hour (18.0 tons per year)  NOx (Nitrogen Oxides): ~3.2 lbs per hour (12.8 tons per year) Using these controlled emission rates, the estimated total annual emissions for diƯerent unit configurations are: Number of FT8 Units Total Power Output (MW) CO Emissions (tons/year) NOx Emissions (tons/year) 11 FT8s 312.4 MW 217.1 tons/year 154.6 tons/year 12 FT8s 340.8 MW 237.0 tons/year 168.9 tons/year 13 FT8s 369.2 MW 256.8 tons/year 183.2 tons/year The 12-unit configuration comfortably stays below the 250-ton/year threshold, while the 13-unit configuration would exceed it, triggering PSD permitting. II. 1,600MW NGCC Development (Q1 2026 Start) A. Equipment Configuration The first phase will deploy two NGCC power blocks, each consisting of:  Two Siemens Frame F (or equivalent GE/Mitsubishi) gas turbines (~270MW each)  One Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) (~260MW per block)  Total net output: 1,600MW B.

D. Project Timeline  2024 – 2025: Engineering, permitting, and procurement.  Q1 2026: Start of construction.  2027: Equipment installation & commissioning.  Late 2027 / Early 2028: Commercial operation begins. III. Gas Turbines: Additional Siemens Frame F (or equivalent) units will be deployed.  HRSG & Steam Cycle Optimization: Further efficiency improvements in heat recovery.  Natural Gas Supply Expansion: Additional pipeline capacity as needed. This configuration ensures reliable, scalable, and highly efficient power generation tailored to meet the Balico Technology Campus’s AI data center demands.

Air Quality and Emissions Comparison: Power Plant vs Everyday Sources The following report compares emissions from a modern 2,000 MW gas power plant with everyday sources such as gas stations, highways, and shopping centers. Misinformation regarding power plant emissions is addressed using real-world data and relatable comparisons. Addressing Common Misinformation Power Plant Emissions Will Kill Animals and Cause Diseases Power plants use advanced emissions controls, such as Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), to drastically reduce pollutants. Emissions disperse from high stacks, making ground-level impact minimal. Power Plant Pollution is Worse Than Everyday Pollution Standing near a gas station or highway exposes you to far more pollutants than living near a power plant. Power plants are regulated, while gas stations and highways contribute to high local pollution. Living Near a Power Plant is More Dangerous Than Living Near a Gas Station or Highway A power plant's emissions disperse high in the atmosphere, while pollution from vehicles, gas stations, and shopping centers remains concentrated at ground level, where people breathe it directly. Real-World Comparisons for Perspective - Sitting in traffic for 30 minutes exposes you to more CO than standing outside a power plant fence. - A single diesel truck idling for an hour emits more localized NOₓ than a power plant’s emissions at 1 mile. - Burning wood in a home fireplace for one evening emits more PM₂.₅ at ground level than what reaches a home 1 mile from a power plant. - Fast food drive-thrus and shopping center parking lots expose people to more pollutants daily than living near a gas power plant. Final Takeaway Modern gas power plants with emissions controls do not cause dangerous pollution levels at ground level. Everyday sources like gas stations, highways, and home heating result in far greater exposure to pollutants than a well-regulated power plant. Living near a gas station or shopping center results in more pollution exposure than living near a modern power plant. Natural gas has proven its role as an integral part of the United States’ transition to a lower carbon energy future. Over the past decade, there has been a significant reduction in the carbon intensity of the national electric supply, due in large part to an increase in gas- fired generation and a decrease in coal- fired generation. Similarly, despite the absence of a comprehensive national carbon policy or defined emission limits, emissions from the U.S. power sector have declined almost 20 percent since 2005, primarily driven by the shift to natural gas. Market conditions have driven the increase in low emission generating sources, such as natural gas. This market trend is driven by favorable long-term fundamental economics and is likely to continue into the foreseeable future, regardless of the presence or absence of additional regulation to expressly limit emissions. The cost competitiveness and reliability of natural gas generation makes it a critical component of a low carbon energy future. Natural Gas: Essential to a lower carbon energy future paceglobal.com Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration Natural gas is an integral part of advancing toward a lower carbon generating mix. Natural gas generation offers economic, reliability and development benefits relative to other low carbon generation options that are available today. As a result, regional power markets have tended to increase the share of total generation supplied by natural gas, a trend which is expected to continue. Studies published by federal agencies, think tanks, and academia have all concluded that natural gas will play a key role going forward as a means to a lower carbon generating mix.i The share of natural gas as a fuel for power generation has grown from 18% in 2005 to over 33% in 2015. This growth in market share for natural gas was triggered by competitive natural gas prices as a result of the shale gas revolution. This economic advantage is projected to continue and, with natural gas’s operational benefits relative to other power supply options, support further growth in market share. Natural gas is an established generation technology that has been a part of the U.S. generation mix for years. Natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) technology is the lowest cost generation source, both in terms of the capital investment, as well as the total cost of generating electricity (including associated fuel and operating costs). While the costs of renewable generation options such as wind and solar have declined notably over the past few years, their costs still remain well above that of new natural gas and, in much of the country, still must rely on substantial subsidies in order to support their development. According to the U.S. Energy Informa- tion Administration’s latest reference Source: Cost data from Leidos Comparison of Fuels Used for Electric Generation in the U.S., 2016 Update Natural gas is a cost-effective and established generation technology 2 Pace Global A Siemens Business Decisions are being made on the regional and local levels now to increasingly rely on natural gas for meeting growing electric generation needs. These decisions are driven largely by the cost competitiveness of natural gas generation coupled with its reliable nature. The added benefit Pace Global A Siemens Business 3 is a reduction of the carbon emission intensity of the U.S. generating mix. In addition to the value natural gas provides in meeting electricity needs, it is also critical for complementing renewables. Natural gas is critical to meeting baseload electric demand, particularly in areas where other baseload technologies are retiring and where renewable development is not a competitive supply option. At this time, natural gas generation is the best available approach to ensure reliability, complement renewables, reduce total emissions, and keep costs lower for consumers. outlook, natural gas spot prices at the Henry Hub are projected to remain around $5 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) through 2040. Consu- mers benefit from low-cost generation sources driving electric rates lower. Competitive fuel costs, due to an abundance of supply, make natural gas generation more cost effective to run than in the past. Until recently, natural gas was more expensive and experi- enced more swings in price when compared to coal. The shale gas revolution has substantially stabilized and reduced natural gas prices due to the availability of abundant low cost gas supplies. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the development of natural gas from shale fields has increased total U.S. proven gas reserves from 200 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) in 2005 to 325 Tcf in 2015. These new supply basins are being developed and are increasing the total U.S. supply of natural gas. At the same time, rapid improvements in applied technology have helped lower production costs. In comparison, between 2005 and 2010 the average trading price for natural gas at Henry Hub was $6.59 per MMBtu. Between 2011 and 2016 the average price was $3.33 per MMBtu. This fall in price levels has also been matched by a staggering growth in exploration and production. The abundant domestic supply of natural gas will help to ensure that the cost of operating natural gas plants will remain affordable well into the future and secures its role in a low carbon future. Source: NREL, NYISO, Pace Global Natural gas power plants are critical to maintaining reliable electric supply and complement renewable technologies Pace Global A Siemens Business 3 Like natural gas, renewable technologies such as wind and solar play an important role in the low carbon energy future; however, they only produce energy when the powering resource is available. A cloudy day can result in no or minimal generation from a solar power facility. When the wind is not blowing, a wind turbine is not generating. A reliable electric grid requires supply availability to meet demand at all hours of the day and in step with the changing seasonal demands for electricity. Natural gas generation is a control- lable resource, meaning that these power plants can quickly be managed to increase or decrease production based on real time electric demand. Large-scale battery technology that could store excess energy produced and release it to meet demand at a later time is emerging as another means to help balance the electric grid, however, it is not cost effective at this time. Even existing generation sources such as coal and nuclear plants do not have the ability to increase or decrease output as quickly and efficiently as natural gas plants. Natural gas generation technologies efficiently balance the electric grid to ensure reliability. In addition, the saturation point of renewables to maintain reliability of the electric grid and to match generation supply to demand times on a daily basis is not known, but some areas are already experiencing issues due to rapid integration of solar and wind generation and its misalignment with peak energy needs. Changing consumer behaviors, including the installation of residential and commercial solar generation and more energy efficiency, are changing the regular energy demand profile, making it more irregular. This opera- tional flexibility makes natural gas power plants the perfect operational complement to reliably meet wind and solar and the changing electric load profile due to their ability to adjust output in almost real time. Source: Leidos, 2016 Natural gas generation has low emissions and minimal land requirements While natural gas produces some carbon emissions, these emissions are much lower than that released from even the newest and most advanced coal fired plant. Renewable technologies, namely wind and solar, emit no direct emissions but do have other environmental impacts, namely the significant land needs relative to natural gas. Significant amounts of land are needed if large-scale solar and wind projects were developed and scaled up to produce as much generation as natural gas or coal plants. For an equivalent amount of electric supply, wind requires over 30 times as much land as natural gas and solar requires 60 times more land. Further, these renewable generat- ing facilities often require the development of significant additional transmission infrastructure to bring generation from remote areas to demand centers. When these other important environmental trade- offs are considered, natural gas generation’s position as a reliable and environmentally sound power supply option is substantiated.

Report commissioned by the Natural Gas Supply Association, April 2017 The Environmental Protection Agency annually publishes its Inventory of Greenhouse Gases, which reviews and updates methane emissions from the oil and natural gas industries. These inventories document a steady decline in absolute emissions of methane from natural gas operations since 1990. The decline happened despite a sharp increase in U.S. natural gas production over the same time period. Absolute emissions have decreased by 15% between 1990 and 2014 and emissions per unit of gas produced have decreased by over 43% over that period. The decrease is due to equip- ment turnover, voluntary actions, and regulation. All segments of the gas industry have been active in voluntary reduction of methane emissions.

The production of natural gas is also reducing emission intensity Natural gas is essential to a lower carbon energy future. • Natural gas generation ensures reliability, reduces total emissions, and keeps energy costs lower for consumers. • Natural gas combined cycle technology is the lowest cost new baseload generation source. • The abundant domestic supply of natural gas will support competitive natural gas costs well into the future. • Natural gas-fired generation ensures reliability and complements the intermittent nature of wind and solar. Power Station Reliability Modern natural gas-fired combined cycle (NGCC) power p lants achieve 99.99% uptime (or "four nines" reliability) through multiple layers of redundancy, sophisticated maintenance strategies, and advanced technology integration. Here's h ow this high level of availability is accomplished: Redundant Systems Architecture 1. Multiple Gas Turbines : Plants typically have 2-3 gas turbines operating in p arallel, allowing for continued operation even if one turbine requires maintenance. 2. Redundant Balance of Plant (BOP) Systems : Critical components like pumps, fans, and control systems have backup units that automati cally engage if primary systems fail. 3. Multiple Power Generation Trains: Some plants use a configuration with separate power blocks that can operate independently. Advanced Maintenance Strategies 1. Predictive Maintenance: Using sensors, vibration analysis, and AI-based monitoring to detect potential failures before they occur. 2. Condition-Based Maintenance : Rather than fixed schedules, maintenance is performed based on actual equipment conditions. 3. Hot Section Replacement Programs : Critical components subject to high thermal stress are replaced preventively. Operational Excellence 1. Fast Start Capability : Modern NGCC plants can start quickly (30-60 minutes) compared to older technologies, reducing downtime dur ing restarts. 2. Flexible Operation: Plants can operate efficiently across a wide load range (30-100% capacity). 3. Black Start Capability: Some plants can restart without external power after a grid outage. Technology Integration 1. Digital Twin Technology : Virtual replicas of the plant help operators optimize performance and anticipate issues. 2. Advanced Controls and Automation : Computerized systems constantly optimize combustion and overall plant operation. 3. Remote Monitoring Centers: 24/7 expert monitoring from OEM support centers (like GE, Siemens, or Mitsubishi Power) providing real-time diagnostics. Fuel Supply Reliability 1. Dual Fuel Capability: Many plants can switch to backup fuel (diesel or fuel oil) if gas supply is interrupted. 2. Firm Gas Contracts : Guaranteed supply agreements with gas providers. 3. On-site Fuel Storage : Some facilities maintain limited backup fuel reserves. This combination of redundancy, proactive maintenance, op erational flexibility, and advanced technology allows modern NGCC plants to achieve reliability levels comparable to other mission-critical infrastructure such as nucle ar. Balico Technology Campus Preliminary Traffic Analysis The proposed 746-acre development will include 12 data center buildings. Each Building will be 198,000 SF per floor with 2 floors proposed for each building. This will create a total floor area of 396,000 SF per building. Preliminary discussions with VDOT in late October 2024, had indicated a trip rate of 0.65-0.69/1,000 SF of floor area. However, the InsƟtute of TransportaƟon Engineers – Trip GeneraƟon Manual aƩached below recommends a trip rate of 0.99/1,000 SF. For the purposes of this submiƩal, we have used the more conservaƟve of the two rates at approximately 1 trip / 1,000 SF. The 12 buildings proposed total 4,752,000 SF. At the rate of 1.0 trip /1,000 SF this provides an esƟmate of 4,752 Trips per day. The power plant would be an insignificant amount of traffic in relaƟon to the data center esƟmate. This leaves the proposed campus esƟmated traffic below the 5,000 trips per day which would require a Traffic Impact Analysis before any re-zoning could be considered per the Code of Virginia. The 2010 PiƩsylvania County Comprehensive Plan notes both Chalk Level Road(Rt 685) and Route 57 as Major Collector Roads. Proffers have been included with the rezoning applicaƟon to limit construcƟon traffic to the site to Route 57 and then 1.1 miles along Transco Road. Proffers have also been included that do not allow any traffic other than emergency services along Neighborhood Road or Jackson Lane.

Some data centers may include maintenance areas and a small office. Data centers may be occupied by single or multiple tenants. Data centers typically have a small number of employees and visitors. Additional Data For the two data sites with time-of-day data, the AM and PM peak hours for the sites were between 6:30 and 7:30 a.m. and 3:00 and 4:00 p.m., respectively. The sites were surveyed in the 2010s in Illinois and Virginia. Caution should be used when applying trip generation rates for data centers, as the database contains a small number of sites with limited data on the number of tenants and employees. To assist in the future analysis of this land use, it is important that this information be reported.

InformaƟon The Balico Technology Campus proposes uƟlizing two exisƟng water intakes in cooperaƟon with the Town of Hurt. The town has controlling interest in the intakes and the site of the old Klopman Mill Water Treatment Plant. The total permiƩed withdrawal capacity is 17.7 MGD per 2009 correspondence with DEQ (See included leƩer). There were documented withdrawals in approximately 2003 of 347 million gallons from the Roanoke River intake and 1,313.8 million gallons in 2000 from the Sycamore Creek intake. These intakes can be uƟlized without any impact to either the Roanoke River or Sycamore Creek. The two intakes described above would be used in conjuncƟon with a new membrane water treatment plant that would be constructed by Balico, at Balico’s cost. The capacity of the plant would be determined in the final design but would include the required 2 MGD capacity for the Balico Campus and extra capacity for the Town of Hurt, Gretna and Chatahm. It would also include capacity for domesƟc, industrial and fire protecƟon along the route from the plant to the campus. Balico plans to construct a new water line from the new membrane plant to the campus. This line would be 18”-24” in diameter. The map included shows the preliminary route along Route 29. This route would uƟlize a route through the community of Motley and then detour through the Town of Gretna to avoid as much limited access right of way as possible. When and if private easements are needed, they would be purchased by Balico. The new waterline would be turned over to the PiƩsylvania County Public Works from the Town Limits of Hurt. A water service agreement like the exisƟng ones the county has in place with the Town of Hurt, and the City of Danville would be used. Balico and the Town of Hurt have entered into an agreement to add a $3 surcharge to all water used by the proposed power plant. This fund would be uƟlized to assist low-income households with uƟlity bills. It would also establish a fund to be donated to all volunteer fire and rescue departments in the county. Balico had a discussion with the Town of Chatham about the potenƟal of uƟlizing some of the town’s uƟlity capacity for the early phases of the project. The county received a leƩer from the town on September 5, 2024, that listed the towns’ exisƟng water and sewer capaciƟes (See the leƩer included in this submiƩal). This was forwarded to Balico. Balico sƟll hopes to work with the Town of Chatham to become a uƟlity customer. The power plant and data centers plan to uƟlize water recovery systems for all the cooling water needs, thus reducing the wastewater needs significantly. Only a small percentage of the 2.0 MGD will be leŌ to be treated as wastewater. Balico would like to work with the Town of Chatham to build a force main back to the town’s wastewater treatment plant to provide sewer to the campus. This would provide revenue to the town in the form of treatment fees.

Specifically, Balico respectfully requests that the Board approve this request without penalty. This would allow either Balico or another applicant to pursue a substantially similar project within this footprint within the next twelve months, particularly in the event a desirable end user is identified by Balico or Pittsylvania County. Balico remains committed to pursuing development opportunities in the County. Following withdrawal, Balico intends to complete its purchase of the parcels in question and evaluate both (1) projects that would be permissible with rezoning and/or special use permits, such as the proposed technology campus, and (2) the existing, by-right uses of the land. Approval of Balico’s withdrawal request without penalty ensures both Balico and Pittsylvania County have the greatest number of options available to them with respect to this acreage that is proximate to both gas and fiber infrastructure. Should you have any questions, do not hesitate to let me know. Sincerely, Steven Steven P.
