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 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. The Registration Statement and Certification will need to be completed and signed prior to scheduling a
pre -construction meeting and permit issuance.
2. Reduced copies of the approved SWM and ESC sheets will need to be included in the SWPPP.
B. Pollution Prevention Plan (PPP)
The PPP content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-404.
1. The PPP appears 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. Include the Tax Map and Parcel number and the WPO number (WP0202000012) on the cover sheet.
2. If Forest and Open Space is used in the post -development conditions on the VRRM worksheet, it will
need to be protected by an easement. Otherwise, remove the Forest and Open Space from the post -
development and an equal amount from the pre -development.
3. This plan cannot be approved until the nutrient credits have been purchased. Please contact Ana Kilmer
in our office prior to purchasing credits.
4. The Floodplain Development Permit application (currently under review) will need to be approved prior
to plan approval.
5. The plat for the boundary line adjustment and proposed easements will need to be approved prior to
issuance of a grading permit.

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. The channel shown just east of the proposed tank may be too large for silt fence. Please verify it is
under 1 acre and 1 cfs (VaESCH Spec. 3.05) or provide a diversion instead.
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.
