Change Order No. I to the contract documents for the installation of Well #5 project for the town of Ivor located in Southampton County have been reviewed by this office. The original contract documents were approved on August 30, 2016.

Change Order No. I reflects the negotiations with the bidder to lower the cost of the project. Some of the changes to the project scope include reducing the diameter of the well casing and screens, reducing the length of the screens and gravel pack, and reducing the depth of the well pump intake.

The Change Order is technically adequate and is approved by this Office, in accordance with Commonwealth of Virginia Waterworks Regulations, § 12 V AC 5-590-240. A copy of this document is on file in the Southeast Virginia Field Office.

This approval does not suspend, minimize, or otherwise alter the waterworks obligation to comply with federal, state, or local laws and regulations or permits.

RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FOR DISPOSAL OF BUSINESS SOLID WASTE IN AN

ENVIRONMENTALLY AND ENERGY EFFICIENT MANNER

WHEREAS the disposal of solid waste in Hampton Roads is a critical issue for local governments and businesses, and

WHEREAS those organ izations must know their costs for disposal in planning budgets for the coming fiscal year, and

WHEREAS a growing number of companies or other organizations practice "zero landfilling" for their waste, and

WHEREAS waste to energy, which dramatically reduces dependence on landfilling, has been an integral part of the regional solid waste disposal system for decades in Hampton Roads, and

WHEREAS that process is essential to the operation of the Norfolk Naval Shipyard, one of the area's largest employers with nearly 10,000 workers, by providing heat for its buildings and dry­docks and a backup renewable energy source for the facility, and

WHEREAS the company that currently owns and operates the waste to energy plants in Portsmouth is a significant local taxpayer, supporter of environmental groups including the Elizabeth River Project, a major employer and economic driver in the region, and

WHEREAS the Southeastern Public Service Authority is now deciding which vendor will be granted the contract to transport and process nearly 400,000 tons of commercial waste annually beginning in 2018, and

WHEREAS the current company is the only one under consideration that will process the waste for a beneficial purpose (steam and electricity) and not dispose of it directly into a landfill,

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Hampton Roads Chamber strongly urges the Southeastern Public Service Authority to select a vendor that will continue our region's reliance on waste to energy, which has served our community, the environment and the United States Navy well and can continue to do so for decades to come.

CenturyLink, and (ii) the transfer of minority control of CenturyLink's certificated Virginia

operating subsidiaries, Centel Virginia, United Southeast, and CLC (collectively, "CenturyLink

OpCos"), to Level 3's shareholders. ("Proposed Transfers").3

According to the Petition, an Agreement and Plan of Merger was entered into on

October 31, 2016, through which Level 3 will be merged into a wholly owned subsidiary of

CenturyLink.4 The Petitioners state that as a result of the merger, CenturyLink will acquire

indirect control over Level 3 and each of its subsidiaries, including the Level 3 OpCos.5 The

Level 3 OpCos and CenturyLink OpCos are authorized to provide telecommunications services

in the Commonwealth of Virginia pursuant to certificates of public convenience and necessity

issued by the Commission.6 The Petitioners further assert that upon the closing of the

transaction, CenturyLink shareholders will own approximately 51% and Level 3 shareholders

will own approximately 49% of the combined company.7

In support of the Proposed Transfers, the Petitioners assert that the standard of review

Proposed Transfers will not negatively affect existing consumer services or contractual

obligations and that the Level 3 OpCos and CenturyLink OpCos will continue to offer services

as they do presently and subject to the same rules, regulations, and applicable tariffs or price

lists.9

NOW THE COMMISSION, upon consideration of the Petition and applicable statutes,

finds that this matter should be docketed; that the Petitioners should give notice of the Petition to

the public; that interested persons should have an opportunity to comment and request a hearing

on the Petition; and that the Commission's Staff ("Staff) should be directed to investigate the

Petition and file a report containing the Staffs findings and recommendations ("StaffReport").

Further, a Hearing Examiner should be appointed to rule on all discovery matters that arise

during the course of this proceeding.

Under Code § 56-88.1, the Commission must approve or disapprove this Petition no later

than 60 days from the filing date, unless the review period is extended by the Commission up to

an additional 120 days. We find that our review period should be extended an additional 60

days. We expect to rule on the Petition expeditiously but find that additional time is necessary to

review the transaction, to provide public notice, and to afford interested persons an opportunity

to file comments or request a hearing.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT:
