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 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. Please show the location of the soil processing business as outlined in attachment A of the notice
of violation letter dated 10/5/19 from Bart Svoboda.
2. Please clarify hatches and ensure critical slopes are correctly shown. Please note there are no
preserved slopes, only critical slopes according to county GIS.
3. It appears a sediment basin is necessary for this situation due to the total drainage area. Per
VESCH 3.14, basins are required below disturbed areas where the total contributing drainage area
is equal to or greater than three (3) acres. There is a proposed clean water diversion, however, the
drainage from that diversion is outfalling to the same spot as the disturbed area. In addition, silt
fence does not appear to be sufficient for the disturbed area. According to VESCH 3.05, the
maximum slope length behind the barrier can only be 100 feet and flow can be no greater than 1
cfs.
4. Clean water diversion dike should use the attached detail, with erosion control fabric, to ensure
clean water stays clean.
5. The parcel overview on the coversheet references Sheets C-510 and C-511, which do not exist.
Please clarify.
The VESCP 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.
Once bonds are posted, the County can hold a pre -construction conference. Applicants will need to
complete the request for a pre -construction conference form. 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 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;
