WPO201300032 —Amendment 2, explained in cloud text image, below
1. Ensure proposed Amendment wet pond design and elevations yield post -developed Q1.5, Q2.0, and Q10
rates less than or equal to the approved post -developed release rate summary shown on pg. 7 of Calculation
report d. 2/18/21 (PE -seal 2/19/21). Reasons: 9VAC25-870-488 includes specific requirements concerning
"no increase in the volume or rate of runoff." [9VAC25-870-48.A.1. - hops://lis.virginia.gov/cg—i-
bin/legp604.exe?000+reg+9VAC25-870-48 J. Also, significance of this SWM facility: it provides water
quantity and quality control for 60.77 acre Cascadia subdivision, yet proposal reduces pond volume.
Quoting VSMP Amendment #2 Narrative, sheet SWI: `The northeastern portion of the pond bottom and
the eastern 2:1 pond upland slope was located in cut with depths of up to 30. Significant rock was
encountered in these locations at the pond elevations, which was fairly hard rock, but was also fairly
rippable. The contractor ripped as much of the rock as feasible using a hoe ram but encountered refusal at
bedrock. For this reason, the provided pond volume is approximately 90% of the originally approved
plans.' This is first notification of decision or circumstance concerning sediment basin excavation issues,
which now affect permanent SWM facility wet pond design, we are aware of. There are implications,
foremost of which: Any approved amendment to this SWM facility pond design cannot propose predictive
/modeled Q1.5, Q2.0, or Q10 flows higher than flows approved with WP0201300032, 9/16/14, else it loses
9VAC25-870-48 (Grandfathering) eligibility.

VSMP AMENDMENT A2 FOR WP02013ODD32
THIS AMENDMENT IS TO CONVERT THE SEDIMENT BASIN FACIUTY IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO ROUTE 20
NORTH INTO THE PERMANENT WET POND FACIUTY THAT WILL PROVIDE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT WATER
OUANTITY AND OUAUTY CONTROL FOR THE 60.77 ACRE CASCADIA SUBDIVISION. THE NORTHEASTERN
PORTION OF THE POND BOTTOM AND THE EASTERN 2.1 POND UPLAND SLOPE WAS LOCATED IN CUT WITH
DEPTHS OF UP TO 30. SIGNIFICANT ROCK WAS ENCOUNTERED IN THESE LOCATIONS AT THE POND
ELEVATIONS, WHICH WAS FAIRLY HARD ROCK, BUT WAS ALSO FAIRLY RIPPABLE. THE CONTRACTOR RIPPED
AS MUCH OF THE ROCK AS FEASIBLE USING A HOE RAM BUT ENCOUNTERED REFUSAL AT BEDROCK. FOR
THIS REASON, THE PROVIDED POND VOLUME IS APPROXIMATELY 90% OF THE ORIGINALLY APPROVE PLANS.
THE PERMANENT POOL HAS BEEN LOWERED AND THE OUTLET STRUCTURES HAVE BEEN UPDATED SO THAT
THE STORMWATER FACILITY PERFORMS WITH THE INTENT OF THE ORIGINAL APPROVED PLANS AND
CALCULATIONS. PLEASE SEE SHEET 14 FOR THE UPDATED DESIGN DETAILS AND THE H&H CALCULATIONS
FOR COMPUANCE WITH THE ORIGINAL APPROVED PLAN.

a. P. 2, Calc. report
Predeveloped, Allowable Flows:
Q1.5=0.52cfs
2.0=0.67cfs
Ql 98 cfs
Postdeveloped ted Flows:
Q1.5 = 0.cfs
Q2.0 = 0.60 60 cfs
Q10=8.91cfs
b. P. 7. Cale. report
Allowable Release Rate:
01.5 (allowable) = 3.16(42,253/256,568) = 0.520 cfs
Q2 (allowable) = 3.83(47,045/269.636) = 0.668 cfs
Q10 (allowable) = 27.83(172,498 / 534,481) = 8.982 cfs
Post -Development Release Rat Summary.
01.5 Post -Development Routed - 0.48 cfs < 0 20 cfs
02 Post -Development Routed 0.52 cfs < 0 68 cfs
Q10 Post -Development Routed 8.83 cfs 8.982 cfs
c. Please note that Amendment proposes Q1.5 that is 0.04cfs > Approved Q1.5 (0.48cfs), and Q2.0,
Q10 peak flow rates that are each 0.08 cfs higher than 9/16/14 approved post -developed release
rates. These increases, if not eliminated, void eligibility for Amendment review under SWM
design technical criteria BC. [ Grandfathering]
3. Now is an appropriate time to provide geotechnical inspection reports for construction of the permanent
wet pond embankment. Engineering seeks to confirm embankment construction (compaction, suitable
material, cutoff trench, impervious core, etc.). Please submit relevant permanent geotechnical reports for
the existing 13.3' high embankment with next submittal of the WPO Amendment application.
4. Emergency spillway elevation:
a. Compare approved emergency spillway elevation, 356.10', with proposed, 356.00'.
b. Compare approved 10-yr elevation 355.92' with proposed 10-yr elevation, 356.03'
c. Revise design to ensure emergency spillway is not activated during the Q10 event.
d. Provide at least 0.18' freeboard between 10-yr elevation and emer. spillway elevation.
5. Emergency spillway outfall:
a. Approved 16' emergency spillway width at weir elevation 356.10 outfalls into a riprap channel
with same section (16').
b. Approved riprap outfall emergency spillway design includes proposed grading intended to bend
discharge away from adjacent property line, and toward a culvert beneath site access to Broadus
Memorial Baptist Church.
c. Approved design shows proposed and existing grades, to PL and beyond.
d. Revise emergency downslope riprap spillway design to accommodate a threefold increase in weir
width, from 16' to 48'. Ref images, below:

With revised emergency spillway riprap outfall design, provide detail to specify emergency
spillway riprap keyed into embankment. Label riprap class and specify filter cloth underlay.
Provide Note to clear and maintain the emergency spillway free of vegetative growth. See 6/l/20

h. Provide design rationale as riprap outfall narrows by %: to the 48' width at weir. Consider
velocity, momentum, and scour potential as riprap narrows, 48' to 16' (or other dimension).
6. Ensure primary spillway barrel slope is listed correctly, both approved and proposed principal riser pipe
slopes appear incorrect.
7. Revise Detail 3/SW 14 since label reading `outfalls into rip -rip channel with same section' appears
inaccurate.

8. SWM facility wet pond sediment forebay does not yet appear to be constructed. Ref. 6/l/20 satellite
No rationale is presented for change to SWM-1 forebay design details (proposed lower floor elevation, 10'
aquatic bench vs. 15' approved aquatic bench), these changes are not approved. Please ensure SWM-1
forebay is constructed per approved SWM-1 forebay detail, below:
