(VaRRM .xls); apparently no booklet submitted with WP0201900021. Provide VaRRM .xls.
(Only booklet ref. to Water Quality in booklet, image below —pg. 3) (Rev. 1) Partially addressed. The
only VaRRM.xls data included with Cale. booklet is Drainage Area `A' , which appears three
times: twice with DA total acreage of 2.10 Ac., once with DA total acreage of 2.80 Ac. Please
review /revise calculation booklet to include VaRRM.xls site, water quality compliance, runoff
volume and CN, and summary tab information, and as many discrete drainage area tabs as there
are DAs routing to a BMP practice. It may be that DA `A' appears multiple times to reflect
routing to practices 16 and 17, but all three DA `A' tab data appear to relate to the filtering device.
(Rev. 2) Addressed.

13. Note: Applicant must coordinate nutrient credit purchase with Ana Kilmer, Albemarle County,
once plan review comments are addressed prior to purchasing credits. Purchase of nutrient credits
is required for VSMP plan approval. (Rev. 1) Partially addressed. Applicant response: `Design
has been revised so that offsite credit purchase is no longer necessary.' This is not immediately
apparent. See item 12, above. Include VaRRM.xls data with calculation booklet, or VaRRM.xls
data clearly presented on plans so that site and summary data depict phosphorus load reduction
required, and practices which reduce phosphorus to the point that offsite credit purchase is not
required. Please do not send VaRRM.xls to reviewer to address this comment, since email or e-
attachments are not approved with a VSMP /WPO plan. Engineering, however, appreciates digital
VaRRM.xls submittals. Please confirm if .xls sent via email, and if so, date sent. (Rev. 2)
Addressed. Applicant response: `Offsite credits will be purchased. Credit availability letter has
been included with submission. Digital version of VaRRM spreadsheet was emailed to John
Anderson 8/27/2019.' Note: Plan proposes purchase of 0.27 lbs/yr phosphorus nutrient credits.
14. C6.1: A fair portion of the 3.10 Ac. off -site post -development area cannot reach the dry pond
without inlet west of N-S leg of loop road similar to inlet south of E-W section of the loop road.
See images, b (blue outlined area) (images removed w/ Rev. 1 comments). Please provide inlet
/pipe connection to route this off -site runoff to the dry pond, to qualify for quantity compliance as
well as to collect flow at an otherwise low -point that lacks drainage outfall, unless runoff is to
sheet over the curb onto the paved surface. (Rev. 1) Withdrawn. Review of development plans
for areas west will likely accommodate drainage needs at this location. Applicant response
(acceptable in interim): `The area indicated sheet flows over the curb or across the edge of
pavement and flows to the gutter and inlet.' (inlet 114)
C5.1: offsite routed low point without collection — blue circle /highlight (contour 576'f):
15. Ensure plan CN /Acreage match routing report values. Sub -catchment 3S, 9S report values do not
match plan data. Revise routings, consistent with plan sheet C6.1. /" (images removed w/
Rev. 1 comments): (Rev. 1) Addressed.
16. L10: VDOT Std Class Al riprap dimensions need not appear on this sheet. (Rev. 1) Addressed.
Sheet L1.0 removed from WPO plan set.
17. L10: Recommend shift leader line of label reading `Tie to nearest inlet (Typ.)' to more clearly
indicate UD-4 (Typ) is to tie to nearest inlet. (Rev. 1) Addressed. L1.0 removed from WPO plan
set.
18. Choose BMP practice from approved list, or an approved proprietary measure
i. Use plan labels that identify /match a best management practice listed at
https://www.swbmp.vwrrc.vt.edu/ (text image below) (images removed w/ Rev. 1
comments): (Rev. 1) Partially addressed. Applicant response: `Labels added to
sheet C5.0 calling out Stormtech Isolator Row (Practice 17, filtering device) and
Baysaver Barracuda (Practice 16, hydrodynamic device).' As follow-up: Please

provide design plan /profile details for Str. 102 (flow-splitter) —see example;
photos, below. (Photo below removed with Rev. 2 comments.) Include elevations.
(Rev. 2) Addressed.
b. If design proposes an Extended Detention (ED) Pond, use link to visit the Clearinghouse
and carefully consider design criteria listed at VA DEQ Stormwater Design Specification
No. 15, Section 6, including:
i. 6.1 — Overall Sizing
ii. 6.2 — Treatment Volume Drawdown and Detention Design
iii. 6.3 — Requied Geotechnical Testing
iv. 6.4 — Forebay Design
v. 6.5 — Conveyance and Overflow
vi. 6.6 — Internal Design Features
vii. 6.7 — Landscaping and Planting Plan
viii. 6.8 — Maintenance Reduction Features
ix. 6.9 — ED Pond Material Specifications
c. Provide detailed plan and profile for a listed practice that meets design criteria.
d. Provide Landscaping and Planting Plan
Example of partially approved Ex. Det. Pond profile /recent VSMP /WPO Plan submittal
(photo, elew): (photo removed w/ Rev. 1 comments) (Rev. 1) Partially addressed. Applicant
response: `Extended detention is not provided as part of this project. A dry pond will be used
to control stormwater quantity, but it will not be considered a BMP for stormwater quality.'
Asefollow-up: A SWM quantity measure requires design plan /profile detail and calculations
comparable to a SWM quality facility. Provide plan /profile, design and calculations that
demonstrate design intent, consistent with HydroCAD routings. Profile information, in
particular, is essential for construction, inspection, bond estimates, and As -built comparison
with design. C6.0 /C7.0 plan and riser details are insufficient. Label pond floor dimensions.
(Rev. 2) Partially addressed. Note: Dry pond is a SW quantity measure. Design detains the
100-yr event volume, with 1-ft. freeboard with no emergency spillway. Ref. plan sheet 7.0.
As follow-up: Dry Pond DI-1 Riser Structure 302 Detail and Str. 302 profile remain
confusing. Provide sufficient detail to clarify design; plan view design data is essential:
• Structures:
o DI-1 wall
■ show location of DI-1 wall relative to what appears to be a
weir structure (see detail).
o Weir: ffweir plate proposed, show location relative to DI-1, and riser.
o Riser:
■ Diameter if cylindrical; dimensions if rectangular.
■ Location /design relative to outfall, DI-1 structure, weir.
• Clarify whether there are 3, or 2, or 1 structure/s (Riser, DI-1, weir).
• Include profile, detail, and especially plan views that make clear how these
structures function, relate, and will be installed. Clarify meaning of 12 " thick DI-1
wall beyond, and since DIs are typically closed at the top (with horizontal not vertical
openings), clarify how riser is to be built. It appears almost as if a DI-1 is proposed
behind a weir wall, but if this is the case, how will a trash rack work or be affixed.
Please study final submittal for clarity with respect to dry pond structure outfall.
19. Additional SWM Plan (VSMP /WPO) review comments possible, once plan re -submitted. (Rev.
1) Applicant response: Acknowledged.
20. New: Provide additional legible terrain contour labels west of Loop Road. (Rev. 2) Addressed.
21. New: Compare C3.3 pipe layout, which appears to route runoff north, then east, off -site, bypassing
dry detention pond, with C6.1 post -developed routed area/s. If area shown in top image below
bypasses dry detention pond, please revise relevant plan sheets, revise routings, design, etc. (Rev.
2) Addressed. (Images incl. with Rev. 1 comments removed with Rev. 2 review comments.)
22. New: Revise typo at 8/26 Calculations Report,.33, Water Quality: `The remaining 0.28 lbs/yr of
required nutrient credits area to be...' to read "The remaining 0.27 lbs/yr of required nutrient
credits are to be...'

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 approved.
1. C3.1: Provide Paved Wash Rack detail (ACDSM, pg. 8) (Rev. 1) Addressed.
C3.2:
2. Show break in SSF at stone weir outfall, ST2. (Rev. 1) Addressed.
3. Label ST 1, ST2 stone weir dimensions (L X W) in plan view. (Rev. 1) Addressed.
4. C3.3: Provide Str. # consistent with C3.0 Phase II Sequence. (Rev. 1) Partially addressed. As
follow-up: Please see /address New SWM Plan comment 21, abo, (Rev. 2) Addressed. Note:
bypass pipe has been removed from phase II.
5. Cannot locate temporary 15" HDPE pipe. Edit /revise C3.0 Phase I sequence, as needed. (Rev. 1)
Addressed.
6. C3.3: Check C3.0 Phase II sequence Note 2.1 against C5.0. Revise if pipe /str. ref. should be Str.
300, 301. (Rev. 1) Addressed. Applicant response: `Note 2.1 on C3.0 has been revised to clarify
that storm system associated with dry pond must be operational prior to removal of temporary
HDPE pipe, which allows offsite runoff to bypass project site during construction' (Image incl.
with Rev. 1 comments removed with Rev. 2 review comments.)
7. LD-229 submitted with SUB201900049 does not appear to include design computations for pipe 301.
Evaluate design flow and discharge velocity against pipe capacity and riprap outfall dimensions. (Rev. 1)
Not addressed. Applicant response: `Pipe 301 is routed as part of the Hydrocad analysis for the dry pond.'
Please indicate, using Hydrocad analysis or other means, that pipe 301 capacity and riprap at pipe 301
outfall are sufficient to meet Q2-ve1./10-capacity (dry pond) routed flows. Also, see dry pond riser structure
detail (image, below). Routings include relevant parameters, but do not explicitly address this comment.
(Rev. 2) Addressed. Note: Calc booklet, p. 8 riprap Min. sizing (wl =4.5', w2 =5.1', L = 9') is consistent
with plan sheet C5.0: (wl =6', w2 =6', L = 9'). (Images incl. with Rev. 1 comments removed with Rev. 2
review comments.)
8. Evaluate discharge velocity against riprap outfall, Str. 200 /VDOT ES (capacity appears sufficient). (Rev.
1) Addressed.
The VSMP permit application and all plans may be resubmitted for approval when all comments have been
addressed. For re -submittal, please provide .PDF preview prior to print submittal.
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 is required for paln
approval, and 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;
