MEMO
To: Albemarle County
Attn: Glenn Brooks, CountyEngineer
From: Scott Collins, PE
Re: Estes Park Rn7nning — Additional Frosinn and Sediwfnt Control Measures
Date: February 29, 2412
Mr. Brooks:
In an effort to provide erosion and sediment control for the Estes Park development that exceed the
current standards and regulations as set forth in the Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control
Handbook, the Owner of the development is willing to implement additional erosion control
measures. The additional measures that Estes Park will implement upon approval of the county the
County Engineer are listed below. (In addition, the County Engineer or Erosion Control Inspector
can require the developer to include or implement additional erosion control measures during the site
plan approval process or construction phase of development.):
1. Commitment to finishing, stabilizing, and closing out the permit by a given date — Estes Parr
shall be developed in the (2) phases to ensure timely completion and stabilization of the fast
phase, prior to moving forward with the second phase of construction. All timelines for
construction and stabilization will meet the Albemarle County regulations.
2. Commitment to independent third party professional inspections and documentation, with
reporting to the county— Estes Park shall hire a professional consultant to review and
inspect the erosion control measures on a weekly basis, document the findings, and provide
these reports to the county for review.
3. Installation of a turbidity curtain — the contractors for Estes park shall install a turbidity
curtain at the inlet point into Arbor Lake.
4. Installation of reinforced silt fencing — the use of wire- backed silt fence will be used along
the streams and environmental areas for added protection. Metal fencing or barriers, or
double rows of silt fencing, or other extra requirements will be provided as directed by the
county engineer to futher enhance mitigation efforts.
5. Provide additional wet storage and dry storage in the traps and basins — Sediment basins will
be designed with 50% additional storage volume for the wet and dry storage to allow the
basins to contain all the run -off, and hold it longer in the basin to allow sediment to filter
out. In addition, the sediment basins will have different compartments that will allow
sediment to filter out as it moves through these compartments. The contractor will
continually clean out the sediment from these compartments on a routine basis.
6. Installation of erosion control matting for all slopes and the -use of tackifiers in seeding and
soil stabilization applications — measures such as these will be used for instant stabilization
practices for the development, to help prevent erosion during the stabilization of the site.
7. Apply redundancy in the design- Estes Park will have a series of erosion control measures
such as diversion ditches, sediment basins, reinforced silt fence, bio -logs, and turbidity
curtains designed and installed in conjunction with each other to control the sediment run-
off from the site.
8. Use of easily installed pre - manufactured silt control devices — these devices, listed in more
detail below, will be installed to assist with erosion control measures.
In addition to these types of erosion control measures listed above, Estes Park is committed to
installing additional erosion control measures to assist in the removal of fine particles and colloidal
soils from the nun. -off. These additional measures are proposed with this development to protect
Arbor Lake and the downstream environmental features.
1. Filter socks and Floc Logs - These measures are used as a trapping device to filter the run -off
through these products which specialize in removing the fine particles and colloidal soils
from the run -off. These devices are used downstream of the project in conjurnct. (. )n with silt
fence and along roadways to protect the drainage inlet structures and remove particles
before they enter the structures. Any erosion control measures that arc installed off -site will
require an easement or letter from the Forest Lakes HOA allowing the erosion control
measures to be installed on the Forest Lakes HOA property downstream of Estes Park
2. Departmental sediment basins — Design and construction of sediment basins with a series of
different chambers to allow.run -off to filter th rough each chamber to the next chamber
while removing the fine particles and colloidal soils as the run -off passes through each
chamber and filtering device. The first chamber will be cleaned out on a monthly basis, with
the other chambers being cleaned out as necessary to remove sediment that has acciunulated
within the basin Faircloth Skimmer devices — this device is added to the outfall pipe of
sediment basins and assists in the filtration and removal of fine particles and colloidal soils
from the water before it's released from the basin.
3. Erosion Control blankets and other .ADS soil stabilization measures — these devices can be
applied to and below denuded areas to prevent erosion by removing fine particles and
colloidal soils from the run -off.
Summary:
Estes Park and its owners and developers are committed to design Fund implementation of additional
erosion control. mean=s and devices to protect the do,,crostream properties and environmental
features from sedimentation, during and after constriction activity is completed with the
development. Erosion control measures, as listed above, are to be designed and installed for
additional protection above and beyond the standard erosion control design regulations for
development and constriction activities. These specialized techniques and the redundancy- of these
control measures are added measures on top of the standard erosion control devices to assist in the
removal of sedunent, fine particles, and colloidal soils from the nin off from the development.
In addition, the developers of Estcs Park will meet with representatives from Forest Lakes
Association on a set monthly basis, or other agreed upon meeting schedule, onsite to review and
inspect the point at which flow from the Estes Development enters Arbor Lake. Documentation of
sedimentation into the Lake, if any, will be noted in the inspections reports from each of the
meetings. These documents will be kept as records throughout the construction of Estes Park and
used to determine the amount, if any, of sediment that has entered the pond from the Estes
Development. At the end of the project, Estes Development will be responsible for removing the
amount of documented sediment from Arbor Lake from these inspection reports, as agreed upon by
both parties. The intent is to prevent and remove any sediment from Arbor Lake caused by
construction development of Estes Park at no financial cost to Forest Lakes for the clean-up of the
sediment from the construction activity of Estes Park
