Section 2. Notice of general permit coverage
(This notice is to be posted near the main entrance according to 9VAC25-880-70, Part II, section C.)
Section 3. Nature of activity
This project takes place in Albemarle County at a site with existing automobile sales and services. The existing buildings will
remain, with upgrades, and an additional sales building and parking lot area will be constructed. The total area of
disturbance is 4.62 acres.
The following are the proposed management strategies and detailed sequence of construction:
PHASE 1
1. Install construction entrances and inlet protection on all existing inlets.
2. Install silt fence and portion of retaining wall around sediment trap 2 location.
3. Install sediment trap 2 with temporary diversion dikes.
4. Relocate stockpile in sediment trap 1 location, then install silt fence and sediment trap 1. Use caution when digging
around existing utilities — existing storm pipes to remain in this phase.
5. Install diversion dike to sediment trap 1.
6. Call for inspection of erosion and sediment controls.
PHASE 2
1. Begin grading around sediment trap 2 to prepare for installation of retaining wall.
2. Install portions of retaining wall around sediment trap and begin to fill back parking lot area.
3. Leave existing storm pipes in place while pipes Al-A5 are being constructed. Do not install inlet tops during this
phase; instead keep manhole bases temporarily blocked.
4. When ready to connect A5 to A5a, the existing outlet pipe may be removed. Note that outlet control exists in
structure A5a which must be reused or reconstructed for new pipe out.
5. Begin mass grading for new building and lower parking area.
PHASE 3
1. Begin construction of new building, then place fill for service reception ramp. Dig out detention pond during this
phase if extra fill is needed.
2. Keep new inlets completely blocked until travelways are stabilized with stone. Then add inlet protection.
3. Keep sediment trap 1 in place until upstream site is stabilized, then remove to finish parking area.
4. Once road connecting to Pantops Corner Way is built, it may be used as a construction entrance.
5. Once pipe E1-A3 is installed and upstream area is stabilized with stone, install diversion to direct water to inlet El.
6. Remove sediment trap 2 and finish retaining wall around sediment trap 2 area.
7. Once front building is complete, install new middle entrance to site.
PHASE 4
1. Remove sediment traps and finish parking areas.
2. Apply permanent seeding to any disturbed areas & low maintenance ground cover to any slopes 3:1 or steeper.
3. Install new partial access entrances.
4. Once all work is complete, remove inlet protection.
5. Call for final inspections.
Section 4. Erosion and Sediment Control Plan.
Section 5. Stormwater Management Plan
1. STORMWATER ON SITE IS ANALYZED AT FIVE DIFFERENT POINTS OF OUTLET. THE MAIN POINT OF
ANALYSIS IS POA 1, WHERE A DETENTION POND COLLECTS RUNOFF AND RELEASES IT AT A RATE WHICH
COMPLIES WITH CHANNEL PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS OF 9VAC25-870-66-B(3). THE RUNOFF FROM THIS
DRAINAGE AREA IS RELEASED INTO A MAPPED FLOODPLAIN, MEETING FLOOD PROTECTION
REQUIREMENTS. ALL OTHER DRAINAGE AREAS TO THE VARIOUS POINTS OF ANALYSIS MEET BOTH
CHANNEL & FLOOD PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS AS THEY SATISFY THE ENERGY BALANCE EQUATION
WITH AN IMPROVEMENT FACTOR OF 0.8, AND THEIR POST DEVELOPMENT 10 YR, 24 HR STORM PEAK
FLOW RATE IS LESS THAN IN PRE DEVELOPMENT CONDITIONS.
2. WATER QUALITY WILL BE ADDRESSED BY PURCHASE OF 2.59 LBS NUTRIENT CREDITS TO MEET THE
VRRM REDEVELOPMENT NUTRIENT REMOVAL REQUIREMENTS PER 9VAC25-870-63.

F. Response and reporting practices
Minimize discharges from spills and leaks. Minimize the discharge of pollutants from spills and leaks and
implement chemical spill and leak prevention and response procedures as follows. To the extent practical, do
not store oils, chemicals, or other potential contaminants on site. When storage of potential contaminants is
required, provide secondary containment, such as spill berms or spill containment pallets. These should be
located within the drainage areas to a sediment trap or sediment basin. Direct concrete wash water into a settling
basin, dispose of hardened concrete with other construction waste debris to an appropriate waste facility.
Respond to all spills, leaks and discharges as follows. Spills of oil, petroleum products, sanitary wastes, and
substances listed under 40 CFR parts 110, 117, and 302 should be cleaned up as soon as possible while
protecting worker safety. Construct an earthen dike around any spills on dirt to prevent spreading. If a spill
occurs during rainfall, cover it with a tarp or another impermeable cover to prevent contaminating runoff. Do
not bury any spills or wash them with water. Maintain a spill kits in a readily accessible location. A spill kit
shall consist of a lined drum with bags of universal sorbents in the bottom, accessible without tipping the drum,
sorbent socks above the bags, and personal protective equipment on the top. All materials used to remove the
contaminants, including any water used to rinse equipment, and all dirt removed must be treated as
contaminated. Textiles, such as from coveralls, may be sent to a certified laundry facility. Waste must be
disposed of according to the standards of The City of Charlottesville and the Commonwealth of Virginia. Store
hazardous materials and wastes in covered containers.
Report all spills, leaks and discharges as follows: All spills, leaks, and discharges shall be recorded in the
inspection logs. If construction activity results in a discharge of contaminants that may be reasonably expected
to enter surface waters, the operator shall notify the Department of Environmental Quality immediately or
within 24 hours, and shall submit a written report within five days. For significant spills that cannot be
controlled by personnel in the immediate vicinity, notify the local emergency response by dialing 911. The City
of Charlottesville must also be notified, and potentially some of the following agencies: the Fire Department,
the Public Works Department, the Coast Guard, the Highway Patrol, the County Police Department,
Department of Toxic Substances, OSHA, etc. For spills of federal reportable quantities, in conformance with
the requirements in 40 CFR parts 110, 119, and 302, the contractor should notify the National Response Center
at (800) 424-8802.
G. Pollution Prevention Awareness
The engineer, project superintendent, and contractor shall have weekly meetings to review on -site conditions
and advise contractor of potential risks that should be addressed. Contractor will be responsible for following
procedures on a daily basis and applying appropriate waste management and prevention practices to be in
compliance with the conditions of the general permit. Employees shall be informed of the danger to nature and
to human health of various chemical spills.
Section 7. Discharges to impaired waters, surface waters within an applicable TMDL
wasteload allocation, and exceptional waters.
The site discharges to the impaired water body Meadow Creek. Causes of impairment are Benthic
macroinvertebrate bioassessements and Escherichia coli. Site work shall be in compliance with the following
requirements:
I . Permanent or temporary soil stabilization shall be applied to denuded areas within seven days after
final grade is reached on any portion of the site;
2. Nutrients shall be applied in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations or an approved
nutrient management plan and shall not be applied during rainfall events; and
3. In accordance with Part I B 4 and Part I B 5, inspections shall be conducted as follows:
I. Inspections shall be conducted at a frequency of (i) at least once every four business days or (ii) at
least once every five business days and no later than 48 hours following a measurable storm
event. In the event that a measurable storm event occurs when there are more than 48 hours
between business days, the inspection shall be conducted on the next business day; and
II. Representative inspections used by utility line installation, pipeline construction, or other similar
linear construction activities shall inspect all outfalls discharging to impaired waters.
