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
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. SWPPP was not provided. Rev. 1: Section 9, signed certification, must be signed. Rev.
2:Comment not addressed. Response letter stated that it will be provided in next submittal.
Rev. 3: Comment addressed.
B. Pollution Prevention Plan (PPP)
The PPP content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-404.
1. PPP was not provided. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
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. SWM maintenance agreement will be necessary for the pond. Please contact Ana Kilmer (434-
296-5832 ext.3246 akilmergalbemarle.org) Rev. 1: Comment not addressed. Rev. 2:Comment
not addressed. Rev. 3: SWM agreement must be recorded before plan approval.

2. Please contact Ana Kilmer (434-296-5832 ext.3246 akilmer@albemarle.org) BEFORE purchasing
any nutrient credits. Rev. 1: Comment not addressed. Rev. 2:Comment not addressed. Also,
Please provide a copy of the previously purchased 0.28 credits. Rev. 3: Rev. 3: Comment
not addressed. 0.81 lb/yr of credits must be purchased.
3. SWM facility easement must be shown around the pond. A plat and a deed will be necessary for
this. Application can be found here:

ents/Community Development/forms/applications/Easement Plat
& Checklist.pdf
Rev. 1: Easement is shown. Plat with deed must be submitted and recorded before site plan can be
approved. Rev. 2: Final site plan cannot be approved before plat and deed are recorded. Rev.
3: Comment addressed as plat was submitted (SUB201900175). Again, please note that final
site plan cannot be approved until this plat and deed are recorded.
4. Provide the as -built check list on the plans:

Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
5. Provide maintenance requirements for the proposed SWM pond. Why was stone placed in the
pond? How will it be maintained/prevent sediment build-up, etc? Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
6. The outfall for the pond must go to a channel/ditch. Provide the channel and calculations showing
it is adequate. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
7. Rev. 1: Any area used as forest & open space in the VRRM spreadsheet must be in an easement
and must be shown on the plan and recorded with a plat. The following note must be on the plan
and the plat "The SWM Forest and Open Space Easement is subject to the guidance set forth by
DEQ in the Virginia Stormwater Management Program. The areas will remain undisturbed in a
natural, vegetated state, except for activities as approved by the local program authority, such as
forest management, control of invasive species, replanting and revegetating, passive recreation
(e.g., trails), and limited bush hogging to maintain desired vegetative community (but no more
than four times a year)." Rev. 2: Note is shown, however the location of the easement is not
evident on this plan. The SWM facility easement is shown, but there is no SWM forest &
open space easement. The woods are labeled on Sheet C4. Please clearly label the "forest &
open space easement". According to the VRRRM spreadsheet this should equal 0.09acres.
Rev. 3: Comment addressed.
8. Rev. 1: Check existing and proposed contour labels. There appears to be some inconsistency
or typos. Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
9. Rev. 1: Show the storm easement that is being vacated. Ensure this plan captures the
drainage that was going through that easement. Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
D. Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESOP)
Virginia Code §62.1-44.15:55 requires the VESCP authority to approve or disapprove an ESOP.
This plan is approved, and the reasons are provided in the comments below. The erosion control
plan content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-402.

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;
