RE: AutoZone Charlottesville Store #6464 — VSMP Permit Plan Review — WP0201900043 -
Comment Response Letter
Dear Ms. Cox:
We have reviewed all of your comments from August 29, 2019 and made the necessary
revisions. Please find our responses to the comments below in bold lettering.
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. Registration statement must be filled out and signed.
Acknowledged. The signed registration statement will be provided prior to final site plan
approval.
2. Section 9 (signed certification) must be signed.
Acknowledged. Executed signed certification page will be provided prior to final site plan
approval.
B. Pollution Prevention Plan (PPP)
The PPP content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-404.
1. 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. Nutrient credits must be purchased before plan can be approved. Please contact Ana
Kilmer before purchasing the credits.
CIVIL ENGINEERING I ENVIRONMENTAL I SURVEYING I GIs I LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE I CONSTRUCTION SERVICES
Acknowledged. Nutrient credit availability letter has been added to the calculation book.
Purchasing of nutrient credits will be coordinated with Ana Kilmer.
2. SWM Maintenance agreement must be recorded before plan can be approved Nutrient
credits must be purchased before plan can be approved. Please contact Ana Kilmer to
start this process.
Acknowledged.
3. A plat and deed showing the SWM facility easement must be recorded before the plan
can be approved.
Acknowledged.
4. Clearly show the extent of the SWM Facility easement.
Stormwater Easement Plan has been added. See Sheet C2.3.
5. Provide a detail of the SWM facility. Will there be a trash rack? What size are the
manholes/openings? Are they accessible for maintenance? Are there any special
installation instructions?
Site specific detail of SWM A to be provided once received.
6. Provide maintenance requirements for the SWM facility on the plans.
Detention Pipe Maintenance schedule has been added to Sheet C1.6.
7. Provide the following checklist on the plans:.
Checklist added to cover C0.0.
8. Please double check all calculations. Page 7 of the calculations does not match Sheet
C1.6 (1.03 vs 1.06 etc).
Due to the removal of the proposed entrance from Route 29, areas have been updated and
double checked.
9. Please double check the DA for inlet 118.
Drainage Areas have been updated per the plan changes.
10. Are the storm pipes sized for the future development? It is clear the SWM facility was
sized/routed for it, but the storm calculations do not appear to include the future area
(the DA for 112 is 069 c factor for future building area).
The pipe calculations for future development are not being performed at this time. They will
need to be computed at the time of the future development design. The SWM facility has
been sized for a conservative potential option so that the pipe will not need to be replaced.
The details of how the inlet and pipe calculations would change with the future development
are too specific to assume.
11. 0.5% is the minimum storm pipe slope. The calculation shows some pipe slopes less
than 0.5%.
Pipes corrected to have a minimum slope of 0.5%.
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. A soils type map was not apparent on the plans or in the calculation's booklet.
All soil on site is type 91. A callout has been added to Sheet C1.4.
2. Please show a wash rack at the construction entrance.
A callout and the detail have been added. See Sheet C1.3.
3. Please show mulching anywhere there is TS or PS.
Mulching has been added to sheets C1.4 and U.S.
4. Per PGIII-72 pf the VESCH, please show there is a 2:1 length: width flow ratio for the
sediment trap flow path.
The sediment trap was reshaped, and a wood baffle was added to ensure a 2:1 flow ratio. See
Sheet 1.4.
We have included PDF copies of the plans and calculations for your review. If you have any
questions or comments, please feel free to give me a call at 434.295.5624.
Sincerely,
Craig Kotarski, P.E.
