Dear Ms. Cox:
The following changes and/or clarifications have been made in response to your comment letter dated
7/30/2021. Please see our responses below in red.
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 ESCP, (3) a SWMP, and (4) any TMDL measures necessary.
1. Please use Albemarle County SWPPP template:
https://www.albemarle.org/home/showpublisheddocument/166/637202310327530000 Rev. 1:

Water%20Protection.pdf Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
C. Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP)
1. A stormwater management maintenance agreement must be recorded before this plan can be
approved. Please contact Ana Kilmer [akilmer@albemarle.org 434-296-5832 ext.32461 to
complete this process. Rev. 1: Comment not addressed.
Broc Troxel is contacting Ana Kilmer to work out the maintenance agreement.
2. Since forest & open space is being used in the VRRM, this area must be shown on a plat
labeled as SWM forest & open space and recorded with a deed before this plan can be
approved. There must also be an easement labeled SWM Facility easement around the
proposed pond and its outfall and access area. The easement plat application can be found
here: https://www.albemarle.org/home/showdocument?id=1052 Rev. 1: Comment not
addressed.
Plat to be submitted once all revisions to plan are approved and final boundaries are set.
3. Please add the following note to this plan and the plat mentioned in the above comment:
"The SWM Forest and Open Space Easement is subject to the guidance set forth by DEQ in the
Virginia Stormwater Management Program. The areas will remain undisturbed in a natural,
vegetated state, except for activities as approved by the local program authority, such as forest
management, control of invasive species, replanting and revegetating, passive recreation (e.g.,
trails), and limited bush hogging to maintain desired vegetative community (but no more than
four times a year)." Rev. 1: Comment not addressed. Response letter said it was on sheet 2,
but it was not evident.
Text was on a non -print layer. Note is on sheet 2 under the legend in the "Water Quality Master
Plan" Viewport.
4. Please clarify where the 17.5 acres of forest & open space is located. The legend appear
incorrect on sheet 2. Rev. 1: Comment addressed, however, please label it as SWM forest &
open space easement.
"Open Space" in the legend has been replaced with aforementioned text.
5. Please add a title to sheet 1 and include WPO202100033 in the title. Rev. 1: Comment
addressed.
6. Professional seal should be signed and dated. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
7. Please provide date the topographic information was obtained/survey was completed. Rev. 1:
Comment addressed.
8. Please show the WPO buffer and any critical slopes from county GIS on all applicable sheets.
Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
9.It would be helpful to have a grading and layout sheet separate from the E&S sheet. Rev. 1:
Comment addressed.
10.Please double check all grading and contour labels. The northern end of the site appears to
have 1 ft contours tying in to 2 ft contours. Also, the proposed contours do not match the labels
on the northwest side of the site. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
11. Is the disturbed area 7.65 acres or 7.71 acres? There is a discrepancy in the plans. Rev. 1: The
calculations packet project description (page 1) still says 7.65 acres. Please update.
ESC Narrative has been updated to show new 7.90 acre disturbed area.
12.Please label contour elevations on all applicable sheets, especially the drainage divides.Rev.
1: Comment addressed.
13.Please list the required maintenance for the proposed SWM pond on the plans. Rev. 1:
Comment addressed.
14.Please provide the following as -built check list on the plans:
https://www.albemarle.org/home/showpublisheddocument/3381/6373?711 ^C'C"'^^^^
Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
15.On page 5 of your calculations packet, please clarify that you are meeting flood protection
by 9VAC25-870-66-C2B (it appears you were missing the C). Rev. 1: Comment not addressed.
Drainage maps have been updated and thus channel/flood protection strategies have changed.
See "Stormwater Management and Water Quality" section of esc narrative for more info.
16.Please provide a detail for the PmPrnPnry millw w fnr the nPrmanPnt rlry nnnrl Rev_ 1-
Comment addressed.
17. Per 9VAC25-870-66-B, concentrated stormwater flow shall be released into a stormwater
conveyance system. The currently proposed outfall does not appear to go into a conveyance
system or channel. Rev. 1: Is this Ditch 1 in the calculations? Please clarify and ensure plan
view matches calculations. Plan view said Swale cross section. DI's and culverts were
clearly labeled. Also, plan view contours do not appear to show a v-ditch or Swale as
shown in calculations (or a channel). Contours below pipe outfall are shown below. A
ditch or Swale is not evident. If necessary, a site visit can be completed to verify the
ditch/swale.
We have decided to add a level spreader to the outlet of the pond, thus satisfying 9VAC25-870-
66-D. See "Stormwater Management and Water Quality" section of esc narrative for more info.
18. Rev. 1: Existing drainage area appears too large. It should only be the DA to the
proposed outfall point.
Existing drainage areas have been remapped and energy balance calcs have been recalculated.
D. Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP)
Virginia Code §62.1-44.15:55 requires the VESCP authority to approve or disapprove an ESCP.
This plan is disapproved, and the reasons are provided in the comments below. The erosion
control plan content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-402.

6. Provide details for the trash rack and anti -seep collars. Rev. 1: Ensure trash rack detail
specifies the anti -vortex.
Trash rack detail has been replaced with anti-vortex/trash rack detail from VESCH "Sediment
Basin" section.
7. Please clearly show the drainage area for the sediment basin as well as the required dry and
wet volume storages. Rev. 1: Volumes were not evident on the plan, elevations were shown.
Also show the freeboard on the detail as well as the embankment top width.
Volumes, freeboard, and embankment width have been added to Sediment basin detail on
sheet 2.
8.Please add a note to the plans that County Inspector may require additional measures as
needed on site. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
