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 ESOP, (3) a SWMP, and (4) any TMDL measures necessary.
1. Submit the SWPPP
2. Provide PPP site exhibit sheet.
3. SWPPP should note (TMDL) - Direct downstream of project `Powell Creek & its
tributaries' is listed as an impaired stream with a TMDL according to 2016 DEQ impaired
stream report.
B. Pollution Prevention Plan (PPP)
The PPP content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-404.
1. Show any proposed clearing/grading activities, paving operations, landscaping operations,
E&S controls, staging, stockpile, borrow, fueling, waste disposal, vehicle/equipment
washing, concrete washout locations on the PPP. Also, show locations where concentrated
stormwater discharges.
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. Show SWM facility access path. The path should be 10' wide and surfaced with gravel or
pavement if the access grade is over 20%.
Show proposed SWM facility easement and access easement. Show 10' wide (min) vehicle
maintenance access to the SWM facility's forebay & riser structure. [DSM, pg. 14
2. Include this checklist in the plan set.

(hitps://www.swbmp.vwrrc.vt.edu/bmps/hydrodynamic-devices/ - VADEQ Practice 16:
Hydrodynamic Devices, Sizing information):
a. Calculate the treatment volume to the device (TvBMP). The calculated TvBMPcan
be obtained from the Virginia Runoff Reduction Method (VRRM) spreadsheets.
b. Calculate the peak discharge of the obtained treatment volume (gpTv). DEQ's
preferred method to calculate the peak discharge for a BMP drainage area is
described here.
c. Work with the MTD vendor to ensure that the obtained peak discharge to the
device (gpTv) is less than or equal to the maximum treatment flow rate (MTFR) of
the device (gpTv < MTFR).

information.

D. Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP)
Virginia Code §62.1-44.15:55 requires the VESCP authority to approve or disapprove an ESCP.

plan content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-402.
1. Show location of all existing and proposed utilities and easements with deed book
references.
2. Provide OP shape & stone size calcs (see VADEQ ESC HB Spec. 3.18).

Low maintenance (not grass) ground cover shall be specified on the plans where
grades are steeper than 3:1. {DSM, Sect 8A)
4. Provide CRS (VADEQ ESC HB Spec. 3.03) to graded width of access road from
the entrance to the parking area.
5. Sheet 3.0 — Provide Temp. diversions (DD, Spec. 3.09) as perimeter control instead
of SSF along proposed entrance road to parking area. Silt fence should not run
across contours. DD should be used instead & lead to sediment trap or device near
entrance.
6. Provide Temp. Sediment Basin (VADEQ ESC HB Spec. 3.14) design data sheet or
similar as shown on pages III-12 to III-15.
7. Sheet 3.2 - Show spillway design detail or similar & values used.

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.
County forms can be found on the county website forms center under engineering;
