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 denied. The rationale is given in the
comments below. The application may be resubmitted for approval if all of the items below are satisfactorily
addressed. The VSMP application content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-401.
A. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
The SWPPP content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-405. A SWPPP must
contain (1) a PPP, (2) an ESCP, (3) a SWMP, and (4) any TMDL measures necessary.
1. Section 1— Registration Statement:
a. Item 8 — Provide a est. date.
b. Item 9 — Enter 0.93 (if correct) for total land area of development as well.
c. Item 12 — Sign & date.
2. Section 6 — Provide a PPP exhibit sheet that can be updated with field changes.
3. Section 9 — Sign & date.
B. Pollution Prevention Plan (PPP)
The PPP content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-404.
1. Provide an exhibit sheet. Show waste area (for cutlfill deficit over 10K cy).
C. Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP)
VSMP Regulation 9VAC25-870-108 requires the VSMP authority to approve or disapprove a SWMP.
This plan is approved. The stormwater management plan content requirements can be found in County
Code section 17-403.
1. This SWM retrofit does not appear to decrease the design capacity of the basin or alter the
hydraulic inflow/outflow structure design. Landcover values won't change post -development
and will remain as a protectedlundisturbed SWM space.
D. Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP)
Virginia Code §62.1-44.15:55 requires the VESCP authority to approve or disapprove an ESCP.
This plan is disapproved, and the reasons are provided in the comments below. The erosion control
plan content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-402.
1. Cover sheet —
a. Add WP0201900023 for the WPO#.
b. Show a vicinity map at 1"=2000' scale.
2. Sheet 2 —
a. Show all existing easements and DB/PG (i.e. SWM, drainage, ACSA sewer, access).
b. Show managed slopes overlay.
c. Show existing right-of-way with street name, route number & width label.
d. Show existing guardrail.
3. Sheet 4 — State area to be disturbed in the narrative (amount).
4. Sheet 4/5 — Assuming the graded access is temporary - provide a blurb about the removal.
5. Sheet 7 —
a. Provide a 70' paved construction entrance. Include the CE detail from the County's
design manual. {DSM, pg. 8}. The construction entrance should begin at the edge of
pavement (off the main street).
b. Provide CRS symbol (or hatching) for the graded access road. {VADEQ ESC HB,
Spec. 3.031
c. Add SR symbols (or hatching), all slopes steeper than 3:1 required if they are to be
stabilized with vegetation.
d. Show BIM symbols (or hatching) to slopes adjacent to accessway — Treatment 2
(EC-3) for slopes 3:1 or greater. {VADEQ ESC HB, Spec. 3.35,3.361
6. Sheet 8 -Add MU symbols (or hatching), mulch to be applied immediately following seeding.
7. Show final grading and stabilization of accessway removal.
The VSMP permit application and all plans may be resubmitted for approval when all comments have
been satisfactorily addressed. For re -submittals please provide 2 copies of the complete permit package
with a completed application form.
Engineering plan review staff are available from 2-4 PM on Thursdays, should you require a meeting 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. 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.
