Reviewer: Matt Wentland
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. Provide a signed Registration Form.
2. Provide a signed Certification.
3. Include the information on impaired waters in section 7.
B. Pollution Prevention Plan (PPP)
The PPP content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-404.
1. The PPP is acceptable at this time.
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. A FDP permit application and a Flood Study will need to be submitted and approved [18.30.3.12,
18.30.3.131.
2. This plan cannot be approved until the 1.84 lb/yr of nutrient credits have been purchased. Please
contact Ana Kilmer prior to purchasing credits.
3. Please contact Ana Kilmer to complete a Stormwater Management Facilities Maintenance agreement.
4. The Forest and Open Space Easement, SWM Facility easements and Mitigation easement will need to
be shown on the Final Plat and a Deed of Dedication will need to be signed and recorded for these

easement. The Deed will filled out by the County and forwarded to the applicant when the plat is
nearing approval.
5. Show and label all proposed easements on the plans, including facility and access easements.
6. Clearly show and label how the bioretention will be accessed for maintenance.
7. Include the bioretention maintenance and inspection schedules from DEQ BMP Spec. 9 on the plans.
8. Include the planting plans for the bioretention.
9. Provide the routing calculations for the bioretention.
10. Show and label the pre-treatment requirements for the level 2 bioretention on the plans.
11. Provide more detail on the path through bioretention 2.
12. Include the County As -built requirements on the plans.
13. On sheet C6.0, include a breakdown of the proposed and conceptual impervious areas in each biofilter
drainage area.
14. Show more detail for the outfall into the stream. Include the stream banks, as it will need to outfall
directly in the stream to not use energy balance. Include a drainage area map for the stream to show
the 1 % is being met.
15. Contact the Army Corp and provide correspondence allowing the outfall into the stream.
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 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. The ESC portion appears acceptable at this time.
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;
