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. SWPPP was not provided. A DEQ permit will not be necessary since disturbance is under 1 acre,
however a SWPPP book is still required. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
2. The same person identified in I.A. should sign section VI. Rev. 1: Registration statement was
omitted. Please note that the person who signs section VI must meet Part III K of the CGP.
It may be a different person than 1. A.
B. Pollution Prevention Plan (PPP)
The PPP content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-404.
1. PPP not provided. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
C. Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP)
VSMP Regulation 9VAC25-870-108 requires the VSMP authority to approve or disapprove a
SWMP. This plan is approved, 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. Topography must have been field verified within the past year. Please provide the date on the
cover sheet. Current topography is from 2010. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
2. Please show flowpath for all water on site. Show how it ultimately ends up at the point of interest.

For example, some contours appear to flow to the rear of the site. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
D. 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 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. What is going to protect construction debris and runoff from getting onto the service drive
(northwestern corner of the site)? There is a safety fence, but no silt fence or other measures. Rev.
1: Comment addressed.
2. Provide a paved construction entrance with a wash rack per the detail on page 8 of the design
standards manual. Detail is shown on sheet C-604, but WR is not shown on plans:

25 draft.pdf Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
3. The LOD appears to go into the construction entrance. Ensure the LOD encompasses all
disturbance. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
4. Gutter buddies are no longer allowed in Albemarle County. See attached email from Frank Pohl.
Please remove detail and any references from the plan. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
5. Please show mulching with the PS on the plans. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
6. Please show dust control on the plan. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
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.
