County Code section 17-410 and Virginia Code §62.1-44.15:34 requires the VSMP authority to act on any
VSMP permit by issuing a project approval or denial. This project is recommended for approval. This
approval is contingent upon the purchase of 1.09lbs of nutrient credits as stated in the stormwater narrative
and recordation of the stormwater management facilities maintenance agreement and a deed of dedication
of (SWM Facilities and Access) easement (plat /deed). *
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.
Please coordinate Nutrient Credit Purchase with the County's Management Analyst prior to purchase.
Evidence of purchase of required level of nutrient credits is required prior to Applicant receiving a grading
permit.
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 nutrient purchase, ideally) 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. 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.

After DEQ coverage is issued, via the coverage letter, the County can hold a pre -construction conference.
Applicants will need to complete the request for 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 joint VSMP and 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;
