I did reach out to DEQ several times in early 2016, but never got a commitment for a site visit. pen, last Kay/June,the developer could not address the private road issue and h s to plan was shelved Since then, I have not pursued this stream determination m guessing that since the developer is trying another tack on getting the road approved;there is renewed interest in this stream determination. I have no problem having David Hannah take this up with DEQ, but I do note it could adversely impact some existing homeowners. If DEQ finds this section is a perennial stream,the perennial stream will include all the downstream properties to the County/City line. That means all of the land within 100' of the stream would be considered protected stream buffers and those property owners will not be able to expand their house or driveway or even put a shed in those parts of their lot that is classified a stream buffer The ordinance also has an expectation that the homeowner will allow that part of their yard in the stream buffer return to a natural state. Finally, I question the value of the stream buffer in this case Once this stream reaches the city limit on North Berkshire, it is piped over 1,000 feet in a storm sewer and even when this stream is daylighted in the city(near the Kroger fuel pumps),the city does not classify this as a protected stream, meaning it could be further piped. So,this short section of stream in the County is effectively disconnected from the downstream waters. That eliminates a large part of the water quality benefits for a protected buffer on the County's part of the stream. Thanks, Mark B Graham; P.E.

As you can see he has never contacted her. There are also emails from you, Fayen-Engel, Margaret and Mark Graham at the bottom of this thread of emails concerning this issue. Would you please have someone else other than Mark Graham make the request to the contact since he will not. The contact has been Shawn Smith. Perhaps it is time to have someone like David Hannah to make the request?

Some questions on procedure going forward: Would you be the contact person for the Albemarle County Official to make the request to for the stream determination? Then upon that request: Would DEQ request the Army Corp of Engineers make a "jurisdictional determination", That would say whether the Corps considers the stream to be waters of the U.S. and thus subject to permitting and possibly mitigation, thus if the stream categorization is a perennial stream by the Perennial Stream Field Identification Protocol? If not ACE, who would DEQ request to make the stream determination? Thank you for your attention to this issue!

Part of the problem has been confusion at Albemarle County Department of Community Development as several people have left the department in the past several months. All we are asking is for a fair assessment. Did you mean'that if asked they (DEQ)would conduct a stream report to determine if it is perennial? Thanks - Lee From: Miller, Jackie(DCR) [mailto.Jackie.Miiler(a�dcr.virginia.gov] Sent: Tuesday, March 29, 2016 4 19 PM To: Lee Miller Cc: Vanlandingham, Mike(DCR) Subject: RE. Inglewood Terrace Stream issue Lee, I have learned, through the efforts of Mike, that back when the Chesapeake Bay Program was with DCR they developed guidance on how to determine if a stream had perennial flow. That program is now at DEQ. Mike spoke to Shawn Smith (DEQ Chesapeake Bay Program Liaison) about this complaint. She told him that Albemarle Co. voluntarily adopted portions of the Bay Act some time ago. This complaint appears to deal with a local a ordinance. As such, Albemarle County has jurisdiction over this program and is the regulatory authority. Shawn said, that they may be able to provide technical assistance to the - County, if asked. Shawn Smith's contact information is below. <image002.png> 6 Lee, I hope this helps some.

If you have problems viewing this plan you can request to view a hard copy of the proposal in our office. Comments for the plan are due from the various reviewers on Feb 23rd. I have not conducted my review of this proposal yet but after a brief glance at the plan the proposal does not appear 7 - approvable in its current form as some of the conditions of approval for the initial site plan do not appear to be addressed at this time. The largest unresolved comment is that of a 3rd study to classify the stream, which has not been provided to staff yet.Attached is the conditional approval letter for the initial site plan (SDP2015-20), which will be used during the review of the final site plan. Additionally,the County has also received the E&S plans for the proposal: WPO201600007—Inglewood Terrace-VSMP. Matthew Wentland is the Engineer reviewing this aspect of the plan, if you have questions directly related to this aspect of the plan please direct them.to Mr. Wentland and CC me. Comments on these plans are anticipated to be completed by Feb 23rd as well. Also, the County has received a boundary line vacation plat to combine the two parcels involved in the proposal: SUB2016000003 -TMP 061K-10-A—BLA.
