SEH No. RIVAN 153082 14.00
Enclosed is the second submission for the Virginia Stormwater Management Program (VSMP), WP02021-
00035, Airport Road Pump Station Project. The electronic application submittal includes:
• Responses to comments provided on 08/18/2021.
• Email sent 10/19/2021 from John Anderson to Maria McCarty on the signatures required for the
SWPPP.
• Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan is submitted without the designation of the Operator/Permittee. This
information will be completed by the contractor once the project is awarded. It is the intent for the contractor to
submit/obtain the grading permit, and at that time, the missing information in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan will be completed. Section 9 of the SWPPP has been signed.

ii. PG. 14: 4.2.2 Ref. to Flood Protection — East discharge to meeting requirements for
9VAC25-870-66.C.2.b. indicates discharge to a (manmade) storm conveyance system
that experiences periodic flooding. As discussed 8/17/21 (Weiss -Anderson), it is unclear
that proposed east discharge from the bioretention basin is to a manmade system. Please
clarify (via narrative, note, graphic linework, labels) that bioretention basin discharge is
to an existing manmade storm conveyance system that experiences periodic flooding.
(Rev. 1) Addressed. Applicant: `Evaluation of the east drainage area updated to meet
9VAC25-870-66.d with the released peak flow per linear foot for the 10-yr 24-hr event
less than the pre -condition, as discussed in 8/31/21 meeting.' Also discussed, Anderson-
M. McCarty, 13-Oct.
iii. Also, 4.2.2 makes ref. to 2-yr storm event peak discharge of 0.92 cfs, with runoff velocity
of 2.86 ft/s. Plan must indicate discharge is to a manmade conveyance system, and is
non -erosive, or is to a defined channel (as indicated by field -run or GIS contours) or to a
natural receiving stream. 2-yr event discharge of 0.92 cfs at 2.86 f /s to undefined
parallel contour slopes may result in near- or long-term erosion issues for downslope
storage facility. Revise design to show discharge (to East) is to a manmade conveyance
system. As discussed 8/17, RWSA site elevation is nearly 100' higher than U.S. Rte. 29.
Engineering must evaluate possible impact of site discharge on downstream receiving
properties. (Rev. 1) Addressed. Applicant: `Evaluation of the east drainage area updated
to meet 9VAC25-870-66.d with the released peak flow per linear foot for the 10-yr 24-hr
event less than the pre -condition, as discussed in 8/31/21 meeting.' Also discussed,
Anderson-M. McCarty, 13-Oct.
iv. A public drainage easement is required between SWM facility outfall and receiving
manmade system, or to point site discharge reaches a receiving stream [Ref. 18-32.7.4.2].
(Rev. 1) Addressed. Applicant: `Evaluation of the east drainage area updated to meet
9VAC25-870-66.d with the released peak flow per linear foot for the 10-yr 24-hr event
less than the pre -condition, as discussed in 8/31/21 meeting. No offsite public drainage
easement is required.'
v. PG. 41 (Postcondition —East drainage) (Rev. 1) Addressed — Applicant: `This page is an
exhibit only. Construction sequence language removed.'
1. Construction sequence:
a. At item 1, and wherever plan references a gravel or stone construction
entrance, edit to read paved construction entrance with spray wash.
Engineering Review Comments
Page 4 of 7
b. At item 4, revise sequence to clarify that bioretention basin cannot be
constructed unless all upslope disturbed areas are stabilized. Items that
follow item 4 include rough grading, grading, building and utility
construction, each with land disturbance.
2. Erosion control: (Rev. 1) Addressed — Applicant: `This page is an exhibit only.
Erosion control language removed.'
a. At item 6, delete reference to University of Virginia.
b. Re. item 7, show stockpile area, graphically, provide temporary ESC
measures to limit sediment transport from soil stockpile.
3. General notes: (Rev. 1) Addressed — Applicant: `This page is an exhibit only.
General notes language removed.'
a. At item 1, please clarify. Why should basin require restoration? What
VDOT specification supersedes VA DEQ design specification?
b. At item 2, reference VESCH, not VDOT specification.
c. At item 3, please reference VESCH, not VDOT.
d. At item 3, grading beyond plan -approved limits of land disturbance is
impermissible. If Applicant anticipates grading beyond plan LOD,
recommend revise LOD to accommodate anticipated grading need.
vi. PG. 42 (Postcondition -bioretention basin) (Rev. 1) Addressed — Applicant: `This page is
an exhibit only. Language removed.'
a. Clarify note that reads `130 LF gravel basin access drive restore with
erosion matting following removal.' Permanent SWM facility requires
permanent access, which may be turf, 10' wide (Min.), 20% slope
(Max.).
b. `See Sheet C 12 for restoration details' label is confusing. Restoration
suggests bioretention basin is damaged, in need of restoration. Clarify.
c. Postcondition may claim forest /open space land cover only with deed
of dedication of platted forest /open space easement. Submit easement
plat application, or revise design, calculations, VaRRM.xls to eliminate
postcondition FOS land cover (0.16 Ac.). (Rev. 1) NA — Applicant:
`Forestlopen space is not included in post condition VaRRM.xls.'
vii. PG. 44 (Postcondition —West drainage)
1. Postcondition may claim forest /open space land cover only with deed of
dedication of platted forest /open space easement. Submit easement plat
application, or revise design, calculations, VaRRM.xls to eliminate
postcondition FOS land cover (0.09 Ac.). (Rev. 1) NA — Applicant: `Forest/open
space is not included in post condition VaRRM.xls.'
viii. PG. 48 (VaRRM.xls)
1. Provide Site tab data /image from DEQ Virginia Runoff Reduction Method New
Development Compliance Spreadsheet. (Rev. 1) Addressed.
ix. PG. 60/other SCS Graphical peak discharge computations that rely on VaRRM.xls may
need to be revised if VaRRM.xls is revised to eliminate postcondition forest -open space.
(Rev. 1) Addressed. Applicant: `Quality calculations are the only computations that rely
on VaRRM.xiS.'
x. PG. 64 /Required storage vol um (V,) may increase if SCS graphical peak discharge
values change. (Rev. 1) Addressed. Applicant: `Quality calculations are the only
computations that rely on VaRRM.xls.'
xi. PG. 68 pipe flowingfull, stain, at Laurel Park Ln: Clarify whether table values
exclude any runoff expected to reach storm drains at Laurel Park Ln. That is, storm
drains at Laurel Park Ln. were designed to serve separate, earlier development at HTC.
Airport Road pump station analysis must include all sources that contribute runoff to the
existing storm drains. Please provide explicit calculations that clearly identify sources of
runoff to existing storm lines, and that indicate the existing storm drains at Laurel Park

Ln. serve prior development and can accommodate additional Airport Road pump station
runoff within the full -flow capacity of existing storm pipes to project limits of analysis, in
an open -channel non -pressurized state. (Rev. 1) Addressed. Applicant: `Calculations
include all drainage to the storm drains on Laurel Park Ln. Storm drain locations added
to Exhibits to clarify.'
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 approved.
1. Revise to include WPO-related sheets only; please remove sheets C 14, DCO2, DC04. (Rev. 1) Addressed.
2. Revise plan title to include reference to WP0202100035, (Rev. 1) Addressed.
3. Provide conventional plan title sheet that includes: (Rev. 1) Addressed.
a. Adjacent parcel information, including:
i. Deed book -page reference.
ii. Vicinity map, and no greater than 1"=2,000'
iii. Owner, related zoning (ZMA) or site (SDP) plan.
b. PE -seal (sign /date)
c. Note regarding future VDOT Berkmar Drive Ext. project.
d. Note regarding proposed length and location /alignment of new 24" DI water main.
e. Limits of disturbance (x.xx Ac.), to include the approximate linear Area of Land Disturbance
associated with installation of approximately 4500 LF of 24" water main.
f. Note: ESC measures require bond. ESC measures for linear portions (24" water main) on off -site
parcels not owned by RWSA require those owners be party to the bond, unless a contractor posts
the WPO plan bond. RWSA should plan accordingly, to either arrange signature information
/signatures of owners (of all parcels 24" water main transits) on the WPO plan (ESC) bond, or, to
require RWSA contractor post WPO plan bond (ESC/SWM).
4. Note: (Temporary construction) easements appear to be required to construct/install 24" DI water main
beyond public RW, beyond RWSA tax map parcel 3241A2. Acquire and record temporary construction
easements, as needed, to install 24" DI water main. Provide Engineering copy of recorded easements.
(Rev. 1) Addressed. Applicant: `Permanent easement obtained for work within kohl's property.
Remaining work within VDOT ROW and additional easements are not required.'

b. Provide and acquire public drainage easement across 32-41H1 to such point that concentrated
bioretention basin discharge reaches manmade pipe network, or a natural receiving stream.
Proposed design shows discharge to parallel slope contours, without receiving channel, with 40-ft
vertical interval to a downslope storage facility, with approximately half this distance across
managed steep slopes. Routing ACSA pump station bioretention basin discharge across adjacent
downslope parcel with no receiving or manmade pipe system is impermissible. Please notify
Engineering of deed bk.-pg. of off -site public drainage easement, and include bk.-pg. ref. on
revised WPO plan. (Rev. 1) Addressed. Applicant: `Evaluation of the east drainage area updated
to meet 9 VAC25-870-66.d with the released peak flow per linear foot for the 10-yr 24-hr event
less than the pre -condition, as discussed in 8/31/21 meeting. No offsite public drainage easement
is required.'
c. Please include more deliberate grade lines to clearly indicate a proposed ditch at 130 LF gravel
basin access drive leading to bioretention basin (permanent SWM facility). (Rev. 1) Addressed.
Applicant: `Swale removed with grading changes for ELS.'
d. A SWM facility cannot be built with initial grading, rather, permanent SWM facilities are built
once all up -slope contributing drainage areas disturbed by construction, are stabilized. A sediment
trap maybe required (item discussed by county with Brad Weiss, 8/17/21). Show, provide and
design a trap, if temporary sediment trap is warranted —likely best location is future location of
bioretention basin. Include all relevant design criteria, for example: wet/dry storage required,
provided, side slope (2:1, etc.), and area draining to tap (x.xx Ac.). If sediment trap is not
proposed, confirm that upslope contributing drainage area does not exceed 100 LF slope/ft. silt
fence. Note: Item discussed with Brad Weiss, 8/17, telecon, 3:10-3:50pm (J. Anderson). (Rev. 1)
Addressed. Applicant: `Modified mud trap proposed with wire reinforced silt fence.'
e. Revise p. 11 of 160-p. submittal (Erosion Control Sequence) to include narrative discussing
coordination of bioretention basin installation (if retained with revised design) with site
stabilization. (Rev. 1) Addressed.
f. Please remove bioretention basin (or other SWM facility) from ESC plan sheet/s. Show SWM
facilities on a SWM plan sheet. (Rev. 1) Addressed.
g. Include note that bioretention basin may not be constructed until all upslope contributing drainage
areas are stabilized. Include note on C13, as well. (Rev. 1) Addressed. C13 Note 5.
9. Cll
a. Show grading and required ESC measures and permanent stabilization sufficient to establish pads
for anticipated future ground storage tank/s since these are immediately adjacent and just upslope
of the proposed bioretention basin. If bioretention is installed prior to future tank grading, then
future tank grading is likely to compromise (blind) soil medium, and SWM facility performance,
which may contribute to avoidable effort and expense, in the future. (Rev.1) Addressed.
Applicant: `GSR linework removed and note added to clarify.'
b. Show soil stockpile location listed at p. 11, 3_3. Erosion Control sequence, item 3. of 160-p. initial
submittal .PDF. (Rev. 1) Addressed.
Process:
After approval, plans will have 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 have to be completed by the owner and submitted along with cash,
certificates or sureties for the amounts specified. The agreements will have to be approved and signed by the County
Attorney and County Engineer. This may take 24 weeks to obtain all the correct signatures and forms.
Engineering Review Comments
Page 7 of 7
Stormwater Management Facilities Maintenance agreements will also have 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 have to be submitted along with court recording fees.
Permanent SWM facilities and public drainage easements require deeds of dedication. Deeds must be recorded prior
to VSMP/WPO plan approval. A separate easement plat submittal (Application) is required for public drainage or
SWM facility easements, which, for the moment, are proposed with Airport Road pump station VSMP.
After bonding and agreements are complete, county staff will 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 have 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 must 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.
County forms can be found on the county website under engineering applications;
