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 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. Provide the signature of a person authorized to sign under 9 VAC25-880-70, Part III K.
2. Include Notice of General Permit Coverage with the final SWPPP.
3. Provide a Delegation of Authority.
4. Provide Engineer's signature on the plans.
B. Pollution Prevention Plan (PPP)
The PPP content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-404.
We have no comments.
C. Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP)
VSMP Regulation 9VAC25-870-108 requires the VSMP authority to approve or disapprove a
SWMP. This plan is disapproved, and the reasons are provided in the comments below. The
stormwater management plan content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-403.
1. The 9.33 lbs/yr of nutrient credits will have to be purchased before the plans are approved and
documentation must be provided. Please contact Ana Kilmer before purchasing the credits.
2. Stormwater maintenance agreement required per 17-415 for all stormwater management
practices. This agreement will also satisfy the maintenance requirements of 17-403 A.5.

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. Provide a certification with the final plan.
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 have 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 have to be completed by
the owner and submitted along with cash, certificates or sureties for the amounts specified. The
agreements will have 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 have 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 have to be submitted along with court recording fees.
After bonding and agreements are complete, county staff will 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 have 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 must 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;
