ering and_WPO Forms/CGP_Notice of Termination 2019_FINAL _201904.pdf (Rev. 3) Addressed.
B. Pollution Prevention Plan (PPP)
The PPP content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-404.
1. The PPP exhibit must be included in the SWPPP. (Rev. 2) As follow-up: Ref. item 16.c., above.
C. Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP)
VSMP Regulation 9VAC25-870-108 requires the VSMP authority to approve or disapprove a SWMP. This
plan is disapproved for reasons listed, below. The stormwater management plan content requirements can
be found in County Code section 17-403.
The plan proposes the use of conserved open space to address the water quality for the proposed
improvements. Conserved open space shall be protected by a perpetual easement, deed restriction, or other
mechanism enforceable by the VSMP Authority that assigns a responsible party to ensure that no future
development, disturbance or clearing may occur within the area, except as stipulated in the vegetation
maintenance plan. Please provide documentation to this affect with the final plan. (Rev. 2) Partially
addressed. As follow-up: Ref email sent 10/18/2019 12:11 PM. Also, Applicant response: `An easement
for conserved forest and open space will be provided upon completion of plan review process. The owner
and surveyor will provide the plat for the easement.' Engineering requests easement plat application
showing 26.00 Ac. forest /open space easement, consistent with VaRRM.xls spreadsheet, as soon as
possible. An easement plat, if required for compliance (as is the case, here), must be recorded prior to
VSMP /WPO plan final approval. A Grading Permit will not be issued prior to final VSMP plan approval.
Note: Easement plats require deeds, as well. (Rev. 3) Comment persists. Applicant response: `An
easement plat will be submitted asap for county review. Deed of Easement will be provided asap,
Engineering Review Comments

following initial comment on plat.'
2. Provide details and supporting calculations for the measures that will be utilized to convert the concentrated
flows leaving the site to sheet flow. (Rev. 2) Partially addressed. Applicant response: `Level spreaders
are provided to distribute stormwater runoff into sheet flow. Calculations have been provided for
size/length of each level spreader.' As follow-up:
a. Please direct /advise reviewer of LS 1 location (plan sheet, and relative to site). (Rev. 3)
Addressed.
b. LS in this application is a stormwater management device used to convert concentrated to sheet
flow. It is not a temporary ESC measure. VESCH, 3rd Edit., 1992 includes Level Spreader, Std &
Spec 3.21, with text (where practice applies) stating: `Where there is a need to divert stormwater
away from disturbed areas to avoid overstressing erosion control measures; where sediment -free
storm runoff can be released in sheet flow down a stabilized slope without causing erosion.' This
handbook was published prior to existence of 1999 Virginia Stormwater Management Handbook,
and well prior to development of 2011 Virginia Stormwater Best Management Practices. These
later stormwater design resources are primary. Unless VSMH or DEQ BMPs explicitly reference
Std & Spec 3.21 (they do not), Albemarle cannot accept a temporary ESC standard for permanent
level spreaders. Use design criteria published at VA DEQ Spec. No. 2, Table 2.2. For SWM
plans that rely on level spreader/s (LS) to convert concentrated storm runoff to sheet flow, Table
2_2 specifies LS length requirements. Revise design per Table 2.2 (LS) criteria. Length (LS2) for
Qio=8.923cfs, is 116'. (Rev. 3) Addressed. As follow-up: Please copy Transport Swale to LS2
data from sheet C-6.04 to C-3.02-A.
c. Provide Calculations Report index or TOC to correlate a specific hydrograph to LS1, LS2. (Rev.
3) Addressed.
d. Provide calculations for each level spreader: LS1, LS2 —calculations do not appear to be included
in Calc. Report. Ref. Table 2.2 when providing calculations. Also, see item b., above. (Rev. 3)
Addressed.
e. Revisiting initial comment (`Provide details and supporting calculations for the measures that will
be utilized to convert the concentrated flows leaving the site to sheet flow'):
i. Revisit gravel filter diaphragm design for parking lot: (Rev. 3) Addressed. Applicant
response: `Filter diaphragm has been removed, per discussion with County on
10/24/2019.'
1. At certain locations, runoff is parallel to diaphragm; revise design at these
locations
2. Near tasting room /venue building, runoff will likely exit paved surface at a
single point, not as sheet flow. Provide level spreader at this location. Note:
gravel filter diaphragm /level spreader /parking lot grades /9VAC25-870-66.D.
reviewed with County Engineer. We recommend meeting 24-Oct, if possible, to
review proposed design, and design approach.
ii. Ditches exist wherever existing /proposed grades alongside site access road form a `V' or
valley. Ditches concentrate flow. Concentrated flow must be converted to sheet flow, or
be discharged to a natural or manmade channel. Concentrated flow may not release to
terrain with no defined channel, as concentrated runoff may cause erosion. This is true
even if a farm or SWM pond is downslope of proposed ditches /concentrated flow. (Rev.
3) Addressed.
3. Provide a gravel diaphragm or other pretreatment measures for areas where sheet flow is discharging to the
conserved open space.
4. Label and provide drainage area maps and calculations for the proposed stormwater conveyance channels.
(Rev. 2) Partially addressed. Applicant response: `Stormwater drainage areas are labeled on sheet C-6.02,
capacity calculations are included in the storm calculations package.' Asfollow-up: Channel Calculations
table in Calc. Report list values; for example: slope, width, depth, Qio, Qio Vel. (Rev. 3) Addressed.
a. Please provide calculations that support these values.
b. Show /provide roof leader line point of discharge (downspouts convey stormwater).
Engineering Review Comments
Page 4 of 7
c. Provide adequate stormwater quantity control measures for roof leader line discharge point/s.
5. Label completely and provide drainage area maps and calculations for all proposed culverts. (Rev. 2)
Partially addressed. Applicant response: `Stormwater culvert drainage areas are labeled on sheet C-6.02,
and capacity calculations are included in the storm calculations package.' As follow-up: Unless mistaken,
Calc. Report table titled Existing Storm Drain Analysis 10-yr does not compare proposed Qio volume with
Qio capacity of proposed culvert pipes.
a. Provide VDOT LD-229, storm sewer design computations, for proposed storm pipes. (Rev. 3)
Withdrawn. Applicant response: `Modeling reports have been submitted in lieu of VDOT form
LD-229, as deemed appropriate during the meeting with County on 10/24/19.'
b. Provide profiles for proposed storm pipes: Label pipe material type, length, DIA, and slope. (Rev.
3) Partially addressed. As follow-up: Check INV IN/OUT against pipe L / % slope. 218' pipe.
c. In plan view, C-6.03, recommend remove 15in-SD (within line -type visible only at extreme
magnification), and provide labels that identify 15" DIA. (Rev. 3) Addressed.
d. If structures 1 — 4 are proposed new structures, revise table heading to remove ref. to `Existing.'
(Rev. 3) Addressed.
6. Please show the drainage divides and associated areas for all drainage areas shown on the drainage area
maps. (Rev. 2) Partially addressed. Applicant response: `Drainage areas and divides are shown and
labeled on sheet C-6.02.' As follow-up: Revise one of two DA-4s to read DA-3. (Rev. 3) Addressed.
7. Include access road and pond embankment areas in the drainage areas.
8. Provide calculations for concentrated flow channels. (Rev. 2) Withdrawn. Covered elsewhere.
9. Show how concentrated flow discharges from road ditches will be addressed. (Rev. 2) Not addressed.
Applicant response: `Road ditches removed upon discussion with county staff. Stormwater will sheet
across the access road and will not be concentrated. Owner understands the operation and maintenance
implications of this design decision.' As follow-up: Design concentrates in ditches wherever proposed and
existing grades form a `V' or valley. Proposed grading creates roadside ditches. Also: Hillcrest access
drive typical section (C-9.01) includes a ditch. (Rev. 3) Addressed.
10. The drainage area to the sedimentation basin is shown on Sheet C-301A, but the area (size) is not provided.
This area must match the area used in the sedimentation basin calculation. (Rev. 1) Partially addressed.
Applicant response: `Sediment basin drainage area and size is shown on sheet C-3.01-A and coordinated
with calculations. Sediment basin dimensions added to sheet C-3.01-A.' As follow-up_
a. Revise C-3.01-A Temporary Sediment Basin Sizing Table to include Vol. (yd3) provided. Table
lists only required wet and dry volume. (Rev. 3) Addressed.
b. Label SB floor dimensions in plan view, as this is a critical construction /inspection dimension.
(Rev. 3) Addressed.
c. C-9.02: Sediment Basin Schematic Elevations do not list any elevations. Provide elevations on
this profile (basin floor, cleanout elevation, dewatering device invert, rim, emergency spillway,
crest). (Rev. 3) Addressed.
11. Provide labels on the drainage area maps matching the area labels on the stormwater calculations. (Rev. 2)
Not addressed. Applicant response: `Drainage areas are labeled on sheet C-6.02.' As follow-up: Please
consider initial comment, and provide and correlate calculations with drainage area maps. (Rev. 3)
Addressed.

13. Provide time of concentration calculations for the drainage areas and show the flow path on the drainage
area maps. If flow path is provided, please label legibly. (Rev. 2) Partially addressed. Applicant
response: `Flow paths are shown and labeled on sheet C-6.04. Time of concentration calculations are
computed through the watershed lag method included in the Hydroflow Program and are included in the
stormwater calculations.' As follow-up: Tc included with Calc. Report, but flow paths are not shown or
labeled on C-6.04. (Rev. 3) Addressed.
14. Grouting solid the 18-inch CMP at the pond dam embankment if it is not to be used, to prevent future
collapse.
15. Provide the Albemarle County General Construction Notes on the SMP. (Rev. 2,1) As follow-up: Ref.
Engineering Review Comments
Page 5 of 7
New, item 22., below.
16. Provide a detail for the gravel filter strip.
17. Label the stormwater ponds on the plans to match the calculations. Applicant response: `Stormwater pond
is labeled as "Existing Pond" on all sheets on which it is depicted.'
18. Provide a BMP analysis for pre- and post -development, and show/define the areas on the map to match the
VRRM spreadsheet. Applicant response: `This project is developed on a "greenfield" site; no BMPs are
present on site. Water quality requirements are being met through dedicating 26.00 Ac. protected
forest/open space.' Albemarle accepts this response.
19. On Sheet C-6.01, remove the drainage area label for "Post South" drainage area 89.26 ac. and make the
D.A. labels more legible. Applicant response: `Drainage area Post South note removed from C-6.01.'
20. Please revise sedimentation basin calculations using a CN number for bare earth. The sedimentation basin
design may have to be revised accordingly.
21. Please note that additional comments may be generated based on responses to these comments.
New:
22. Since enlarged pond is utilized for SWM water quantity control, it is not strictly a farm pond, but requires
SWM facility easement as well as geotechnical information and construction reports consistent with
General Construction Notes for Stormwater Management Plans (see C-6.03). Please provide relevant
documents prior to plan approval. Please provide easement for farm pond and level spreaders. (Rev. 3)
Comment persists.
GENERAL CONSTRUCTION NOTES FOR STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLANS
1. ALL DAMS AND CONSTRUCTED FILL TO BE WITHIN 95% OF MAXIMUM DRY
DENSITY AND 2% OF OPTIMUM MOISTURE CONTENT. ALL FILL MATERIAL TO BE
APPROVED BY A GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEER. A GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEER IS TO
BE PRESENT DURING CONSTRUCTION OF DAMS.
2. PIPE AND RISER JOINTS ARE TO BE WATERTIGHT WITHIN STORMWATER
MANAGEMENT FACILITIES.
3. FOR TEMPORARY SEDIMENT TRAPS OR BASINS WHICH ARE TO BE CONVERTED
TO PERMANENT STORMWATER MANAGEMENT FACILITIES; CONVERSION IS NOT
TO TAKE PLACE UNTIL THE SITE IS STABILIZED, AND PERMISSION HAS BEEN
OBTAINED FROM THE COUNTY EROSION CONTROL INSPECTOR.
23. C-6.03: Revise labels to read `Forest /Open Space Easement' rather than `Wooded/Open Space Easement.'
(Rev. 3) Addressed.
24. C-6.04: Sheet C6.05 Note states: `Existing Conditions: The owner of the parcel has built a new dam to
enlarge the pond for agricultural purposes.' Revise text on C-6.04 to remove any reference to ED Pond,
since our understanding is that a pond was enlarged for agricultural purposes. This farm pond was not, to
our knowledge, constructed to VA DEQ Stormwater Design Specification No. 15. Reference to ED Pond
may be misleading. The plan proposes an existing enlarged agricultural pond as SWM facility that will
provide quantity control, whatever other agricultural purpose it serves. This pond is not proposed to
provide quality /phosphorus reduction. Rather, 26.00 Ac. in forest /open space easement provides required
phosphorus reduction. (Rev. 3) Addressed.
25. C-9.01: Revise labels on Gravel Diaphragm with Thickened Asphalt Edge detail to reference `site la o
/C-4.01,' not `site plan.' There is no site plan for this development. (Rev. 3) Addressed. Applicant
response: `Gravel diaphragm in plan and the detail have been removed per direction from Albemarle
County on 10/24/19.
26. C-605 (Mitigation Plan):
a. Label Dick Woods Road. (Rev. 3) Addressed. NA. Dick Woods Road not shown.

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. [ Note:.PDF preview welcome; discussed briefly with S. Roderick, 11/18/19.]
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;
