New: Indicate on -site location of rain gauge. ix. New: Recommend include inspection frequency listed at VAR10 Part 1.B.4.d.(1/2), since this inspection frequency applies [text image, below]. d. The applicable SWPPP inspection requirements specified in Part II F 2 shall be amended as follows: (1) Inspections shall be conducted at a frequency of (i) at least once every four business days or (ii) at least once every five business days and no later than 48 hours following a measurable storm event. In the event that a measurable storm event occurs when there are more than 48 hours between business days, the inspection shall be conducted on the next business day; and (2) Representative inspections used by utility line installation, pipeline construction, or other similar linear construction activities shall inspect all outfalls discharging to surface waters identified as impaired or for which a TMDL wasteload allocation has been established and approved prior to the term of this general permit. The PPP content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-404. 1. See A /Sec. 6 comments, above. C. Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) Required. VSMP Regulation 9VAC25-870-108 requires the VSMP authority to approve or disapprove a SWMP. This plan is disapproved for reasons listed, below. The stormwater management plan content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-403. 1. Please ref. 17-303. Proposed Vineyard Processing building is not exempt from VSMP requirements; excerpt of Agricultural, horticultural, and forestal activities exemption, below. B. Agricultural, horticultural, and forestal activities. Clearing of lands specifically for agricultural purposes and the management, tilling, planting, or harvesting of agricultural, horticultural, or forest crops, livestock feedlot operations, or as additionally set forth by the State Water Control Board in regulations, including engineering operations as follows: construction of terraces, terrace outlets, check dams, desilting basins, dikes, ponds, ditches, strip cropping, lister furrowing, contour cultivating, contour furrowing, land drainage, and land irrigation; however, this exception shall not apply to harvesting of forest crops unless the area on which harvesting occurs is reforested artificially or naturally in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 11 (Virginia Code § 10.1-1100 et seq.) of Title 10.1 of the Virginia Code or is converted to bona fide agricultural or improved pasture use as described in Virginia Code § 10.1-1163(B). 2. Provide a SWM Plan that meets content requirements listed at 17-403, that meets water quality and quantity requirements listed at 9VAC25-870-66. Note: pre- /post -development drainage maps are required. Pre -post development hydrologic calculations are required. Technical criteria IIB applies. (Rev. 1) Partially addressed. As follow-up: a. If plan intends to show compliance with discharge to a manmade system, it is unclear that Engineering Review Comments Page 3 of 6 a manmade system exists along Dick Woods Road (SR 637). Provide plan detail. Include topography, labels, narrative, etc. that explain compliance with 9VAC25-870- 66.B.1.a. Please note, velocity analysis required. If proposed Ex. detention outfall discharges to a poorly -defined or non-existent roadside ditch, then design must consider 9VAC25-870-66.B.3 (Energy balance /Natural stormwater conveyance systems). b. Engineering anticipates discharge to a roadside ditch (manmade conveyance), and requests Ex. ditch details, section, and velocity analysis, per 9VAC25-870-66.B.1. c. Limits of Analysis: Evaluate channel protection to point site DA < 1 % total watershed Area of a receiving stream; ref. 9VAC25-870-66.B.4. d. (9VAC25-870-66.C.1./2.): Design meets flood protection requirement at 9VAC25-870- 66.C.2.b. Please include this statement on plan sheet C-1.02. e. It is not immediately apparent why a level spreader (LS) is required. SWM facilities cannot be located within VDOT RW. This facility is not, but appears to lie near a roadside ditch (2.a., above) which will cancel tendency for sheet flow to disperse. (Ditches concentrate flow.) 9VAC25-870-66.D. is not applicable. Recommend remove LS from plans, which may limit design, construction, and SWM Facility easement platting expense. Last: if located too close to a ditch, VDOT equipment may damage this facility during routine ditch maintenance operations. f. Extended detention (DEQ Stormwater Design Specification No. 15): i. Consider design parameters, specifications, and requirements at https://www.swbmp.vwrrc.vt.edu/wp-content/uploads/2017/1I/BMP-Spec-No-15 EXT- DETENTION-POND vl-9_03012011.pdfwith care. 1. Ref.

The VSMP permit application and all plans may be resubmitted for approval when all comments have been addressed. For re -submittal, please provide 2 copies of the permit package with a completed application form. Engineering plan review staff is available from 2-4 PM on Thursdays if you wish to meet to discuss this review. Process After approval, plans will need to be bonded. The bonding process is begun by submitting a bond estimate request form and fee to the Department of Community Development. One of the plan reviewers will prepare estimates and check parcel and easement information based on the approved plans. The County's Management Analyst will prepare bond agreement forms, which will need to be completed by the owner and submitted along with cash, certificates or sureties for the amounts specified. The agreements will need to be approved and signed by the County Attorney and County Engineer. This may take 2-4 weeks to obtain all the correct signatures and forms. Stormwater Management Facilities Maintenance agreements will also need to be completed and recorded. The County's Management Analyst or other staff will prepare the forms and check for ownership and signature information. The completed forms will need to be submitted along with court recording fees. After bonding and agreements are complete, county staff will need to enter project information in a DEQ database for state application processing. DEQ will review the application information based on local VSMP authority approval. At this time, the DEQ portion of the application fees will need to be paid directly to the state. For fastest processing, this is done electronically with the emails provided on the application (SWPPP Registration Statement). DEQ should notify applicants with instructions on how to pay fees. When DEQ approves the application, they will issue a permit coverage letter. This should be copied to the county. Easements must be recorded prior to VSMP approval. Proof of purchase of nutrient credits (if any) is required to receive a Grading Permit. After DEQ coverage is issued, the County can hold a pre -construction conference. Applicants will need to complete the request using a pre -construction conference form, and pay the remainder of the application fee. The form identifies the contractor and responsible land disturber, and the fee remaining to be paid. This will be checked by county staff, and upon approval, a pre -construction conference will be scheduled with the County inspector. At the pre -construction conference, should everything proceed satisfactorily, a grading permit will be issued by the County so that work may begin. County forms can be found on the county website forms center under engineering; htt2://www.albemarle.org/deptforms.asp?departrnent=cdengmTo Ifyou have questions /concerns, please contact me at janderson2(a�albemarle.org or at 434.296-5832-x3069.
