REGULATIONS SHALL BE ADHERED TO UNLESS OTHERWISE WAIVED OR
APPROVED BY VARIANCE.
TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCE (CE) - 3.02
A CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCE SHALL BE PROVIDED AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE
PROJECT SITE TO PROVIDE A MEANS OF REMOVING SEDIMENT FROM THE
TIRES OF CONSTRUCTION VEHICLES LEAVING THE WORK SITE. THE
CONTRACTOR SHALL REMOVE ANY MUD FROM THE EXISTING ROAD SURFACE
BY MEANS OF SWEEPING AND SHOVELING, IN THE EVENT THE WASH AREA IS
NOT ADEQUATE IN SEDIMENT REMOVAL. SEDIMENT -LADEN RUNOFF IS TO BE
DIRECTED TOWARDS THE SEDIMENT BASIN.

SILT FENCING WILL BE INSTALLED AS A FIRST STEP IN CONSTRUCTION
ACTIVITIES. LOCATION AND DETAILS ARE SHOWN ON THE PLANS.
B7. PERMANENT AND TEMPORARY STABILIZATION:
PERMANENT SEEDING - 3.32 (OPTIONAL)
A PERENNIAL VEGETATIVE COVERING SHALL BE ESTABLISHED ON
DISTURBED AREAS WITHIN 7 DAYS OF BEING BROUGHT TO FINAL GRADE
ON AREAS NOT OTHERWISE PROTECTED. SELECTION OF THE SEED
MIXTURE SHALL DEPEND ON THE TIME OF YEAR IT IS TO BE APPLIED
ACCORDING TO THE PERMANENT SEED SCHEDULE AS SHOWN ON THE
DRAWING. SEEDED AREAS SHALL BE LIMED WHEN NECESSARY, AT
RATE OF 2 TONS PER ACRES, AND FERTILIZED AT A RATE OF 1,000 LBS.
PER ACRE OF 10-20-10 (10 LBS. PER 1,000 SQUARE FEET) OR EQUIVALENT.

DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.
1310. STORM WATER MANAGEMENT: Not applicable, less than 1 acre od disturbance
611. MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE:
IN GENERAL, ALL EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL MEASURES SHALL BE
CHECKED DAILY AND AFTER EACH SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL. THE FOLLOWING
ITEMS WILL BE CHECKED IN PARTICULAR:
2 THE CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCE SHALL BE CHECKED DAILY FOR SOIL
BUILDUP. IF THE ENTRANCE BECOMES CLOGGED WITH SOIL AND FAILS TO
PREVENT THE TRANSPORTATION OF SOIL ONTO THE ROADWAY, ADDITIONAL
STONE, REPLACEMENT OF STONE, OR A WASH -RACK MAY BE REQUIRED.
3. SILT FENCE SHALL BE INSPECTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER EACH RAINFALL AND
AT LEAST DAILY DURING PROLONGED RAINFALL. CLOSE ATTENTION SHALL
BE PAID TO THE REPAIR OF DAMAGED SILT FENCE RESULTING FROM END
RUNS AND UNDERCUTTING. SHOULD THE FABRIC ON A SILT FENCE
DECOMPOSE OR BECOME INEFFECTIVE PRIOR TO THE END OF THE
EXPECTED USABLE LIFE AND THE BARRIER STILL BE NECESSARY, THE
FABRIC SHALL BE REPLACED PROMPTLY. SEDIMENT DEPOSITS SHOULD BE
REMOVED AFTER EACH STORM EVENT. THEY MUST BE REMOVED WHEN
DEPOSITS REACH APPROXIMATELY ONE-HALF THE HEIGHT OF THE BARRIER.
ANY SEDIMENT DEPOSITS REMAINING IN PLACE AFTER THE SILT FENCE IS
NO LONGER REQUIRED SHALL BE DRESSED TO CONFORM WITH THE
EXISTING GRADE, PREPARED, AND SEEDED.
4. 4.STORMWATER CONVEYANCE CHANNELS (WHERE APPLICABLE):
4.1. GRASS LINED CHANNELS - DURING THE INITIAL ESTABLISHMENT, GRASS
LINED CHANNELS SHOULD BE REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY AND RE-
ESTABLISHED IF NECESSARY. AFTER GRASS HAS BECOME ESTABLISHED,
THE CHANNEL SHOULD BE CHECKED PERIODICALLY TO DETERMINE IF THE
GRASS IS WITHSTANDING FLOW VELOCITIES WITHOUT DAMAGE. IF THE
CHANNEL IS TO BE MOWED, IT SHOULD BE DONE IN A MANNER THAT IT WILL
NOT DAMAGE THE GRASS.
4.2. RIPRAP-LINED CHANNELS - RIPRAP LINED CHANNELS SHOULD BE CHECKED
PERIODICALLY TO ENSURE THE SCOUR IS NOT OCCURRING BENEATH
FABRIC UNDERLINING OF THE RIPRAP LAYER. THE CHANNEL SHOULD ALSO
BE CHECKED TO DETERMINE THE STONES ARE NOT DISLODGED BY LARGE
FLOWS.
4.3. IF SEDIMENT IS DEPOSITED IN A GRASS -LINED CHANNEL, IT SHOULD BE
REMOVED PROMPTLY TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE GRASS. SEDIMENT
DEPOSITED IN A RIPRAP CHANNEL SHOULD BE REMOVED WHEN IT REDUCES
THE CAPACITY OF THE CHANNEL.
5. 5ALL SEEDED AREAS WILL BE CHECKED REGULARLY TO ENSURE THAT A
GOOD STAND IS MAINTAINED. AREAS SHOULD BE FERTILIZED AND RE-
SEEDED AS NEEDED. IN THE EVENT THAT THE APPLIED SEEDING FAILS TO
TAKE HOLD, BLANKET MATTING SHALL BE PLACED IN APPROPRIATE AREAS
DEEMED NECESSARY BY THE ENGINEER OR EROSION CONTROL A
CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE
1. PRIOR TO ANY LAND DISTURBANCE, CONTRACTOR TO HAVE SURVEYOR FLAG
CLEARING LIMITS. NO CLEARING OR GRADING IS ALLOWED OUTSIDE OF LIMITS.
PERMANENT SEEDING SHALL BE APPLIED TO AREAS WHERE FINAL GRADE IS
REACHED.
2. INSTALL CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCE TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE SITE. INSTALL
SILT FENCE, AS INDICATED ON THE PLANS, ENSURE THAT SILT FENCE IS PLACED
1 FOOT ON THE DOWNHILL SIDE OF ALL SILL AND OR ABUTMENTS SO THERE IS
AS LITTLE EARTH MOVING ACTIVITIES ALONG THE STREAM BANK AS POSSIBLE.
NO STREAM DISTURBANCES SHALL OCCUR WITH THIS EROSION & SEDIMENT
CONTROL PLAN.
3. BUILD THE STORMWATER CONVEYANCE CHANNEL AS SHOWN ON SHEET 3.
4. UPON FINAL STABILIZATION AND WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE E&SC
INSPOECTOR EXTERIOR MEASURES MAY BE REMOVED.

FINAL GRADE BUT WILL REMAIN DORMANT FOR LONGER THAN 14 DAYS.
PERMANENT STABILIZATION SHALL BE APPLIED TO AREAS THAT ARE TO BE
LEFT DORMANT FOR MORE THAN ONE YEAR.
2. DURING CONSTRUCTION OF THE PROJECT, SOIL STOCK PILES AND BORROW
AREAS SHALL BE STABILIZED OR PROTECTED WITH SEDIMENT TRAPPING
MEASURES. THE APPLICANT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TEMPORARY
PROTECTION AND PERMANENT STABILIZATION OF ALL SOIL STOCKPILES ON
SITE AS WELL AS BORROW AREAS AND SOIL INTENTIONALLY TRANSPORTED
FROM THE PROJECT SITE.
3. A PERMANENT VEGETATIVE COVER SHALL BE ESTABLISHED ON DENUDED
AREAS NOT OTHERWISE PERMANENTLY STABILIZED. PERMANENT
VEGETATION SHALL NOT BE CONSIDERED ESTABLISHED UNTIL A GROUND
COVER IS ACHIEVED THAT IS UNIFORM, MATURE ENOUGH TO SURVIVE AND
WILL INHIBIT EROSION.
4. SEDIMENT BASINS AND TRAPS, PERIMETER DIKES, SEDIMENT BARRIERS
AND OTHER MEASURES INTENDED TO TRAP SEDIMENT SHALL BE
CONSTRUCTED AS A FIRST STEP IN ANY LAND -DISTURBING ACTIVITY AND
SHALL BE MADE FUNCTIONAL BEFORE UPSLOPE LAND DISTURBANCE TAKES
PLACE.

SHALL CORRESPOND TO A BARE EARTH CONDITION OR THOSE CONDITIONS
EXPECTED TO EXIST WHILE THE SEDIMENT BASIN IS UTILIZED.
7. CUT AND FILL SLOPES SHALL BE DESIGNED AND CONSTRUCTED IN A
MANNER THAT WILL MINIMIZE EROSION. SLOPES THAT ARE FOUND TO BE
ERODING EXCESSIVELY WITHIN ONE YEAR OF PERMANENT STABILIZATION
SHALL BE PROVIDED WITH ADDITIONAL SLOPE STABILIZING MEASURES UNTIL
THE PROBLEM IS CORRECTED.
8. CONCENTRATED RUNOFF SHALL NOT FLOW DOWN CUT OR FILL SLOPES
UNLESS CONTAINED WITHIN AN ADEQUATE TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT
CHANNEL, FLUME OR SLOPE DRAIN STRUCTURE.
9. WHENEVER WATER SEEPS FROM A SLOPE FACE, ADEQUATE DRAINAGE OR
OTHER PROTECTION SHALL BE PROVIDED.

17. WHERE CONSTRUCTION VEHICLE ACCESS ROUTES INTERSECT PAVED OR
PUBLIC ROADS, PROVISIONS SHALL BE MADE TO MINIMIZE THE TRANSPORT
OF SEDIMENT BY VEHICULAR TRACKING ONTO THE PAVED SURFACE. WHERE
SEDIMENT IS TRANSPORTED ONTO A PAVED OR PUBLIC ROAD SURFACE, THE
ROAD SURFACE SHALL BE CLEANED THOROUGHLY AT THE END OF EACH DAY.
SEDIMENT SHALL BE REMOVED FROM THE ROADS BY SHOVELING OR
SWEEPING AND TRANSPORTED TO A SEDIMENT CONTROL DISPOSAL AREA.
STREET WASHING SHALL BE ALLOWED ONLY AFTER SEDIMENT IS REMOVED IN
THIS MANNER. THIS PROVISION SHALL APPLY TO INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT
LOTS AS WELL AS TO LARGER LAND -DISTURBING ACTIVITIES.
18. ALL TEMPORARY EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL MEASURES SHALL BE
REMOVED WITHIN 30 DAYS AFTER FINAL SITE STABILIZATION OR AFTER THE
TEMPORARY MEASURES ARE NO LONGER NEEDED, UNLESS OTHERWISE
AUTHORIZED BY THE VESCP AUTHORITY. TRAPPED SEDIMENT AND THE

MEASURES SHALL BE PERMANENTLY STABILIZED TO PREVENT FURTHER
EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION.
19. PROPERTIES AND WATERWAYS DOWNSTREAM FROM DEVELOPMENT SITES
SHALL BE PROTECTED FROM SEDIMENT DEPOSITION, EROSION AND DAMAGE
DUE TO INCREASES IN VOLUME, VELOCITY AND PEAK FLOW RATE OF
STORMWATER RUNOFF FOR THE STATED FREQUENCY STORM OF 24-HOUR
DURATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING STANDARDS AND
CRITERIA. STREAM RESTORATION AND RELOCATION PROJECTS THAT
INCORPORATE NATURAL CHANNEL DESIGN CONCEPTS ARE NOT MAN-MADE
CHANNELS AND SHALL BE EXEMPT FROM ANY FLOW RATE CAPACITY AND
VELOCITY REQUIREMENTS FOR NATURAL OR MAN-MADE CHANNELS:
A. CONCENTRATED STORMWATER RUNOFF LEAVING A DEVELOPMENT SITE
SHALL BE DISCHARGED DIRECTLY INTO AN ADEQUATE NATURAL OR MAN-
MADE RECEIVING CHANNEL, PIPE OR STORM SEWER SYSTEM. FOR THOSE
SITES WHERE RUNOFF IS DISCHARGED INTO A PIPE OR PIPE SYSTEM,
DOWNSTREAM STABILITY ANALYSES AT THE OUTFALL OF THE PIPE OR PIPE
SYSTEM SHALL BE PERFORMED.
B. ADEQUACY OF ALL CHANNELS AND PIPES SHALL BE VERIFIED IN THE
FOLLOWING MANNER:
(1) THE APPLICANT SHALL DEMONSTRATE THAT THE TOTAL DRAINAGE AREA
TO THE POINT OF ANALYSIS WITHIN THE CHANNEL IS 100 TIMES GREATER
THAN THE CONTRIBUTING DRAINAGE AREA OF THE PROJECT IN QUESTION, OR
(2) (A) NATURAL CHANNELS SHALL BE ANALYZED BY THE USE OF A TWO-YEAR
STORM TO VERIFY THAT STORMWATER WILL NOT OVERTOP CHANNEL BANKS
NOR CAUSE EROSION OF CHANNEL BED OR BANKS:
(B) ALL PREVIOUSLY CONSTRUCTED MAN-MADE CHANNELS SHALL BE
ANALYZED BY THE USE OF A 10-YEAR STORM TO VERIFY THAT STORMWATER
WILL NOT OVERTOP ITS BANKS AND BY THE USE OF A TWO-YEAR STORM TO
DEMONSTRATE THAT STORMWATER WILL NOT CAUSE EROSION OF CHANNEL
BED OR BANKS; AND
(C) PIPES AND STORM SEWER SYSTEMS SHALL BE ANALYZED BY THE USE OF
A 10-YEAR STORM TO VERIFY THAT STORMWATER WILL BE CONTAINED WITHIN
THE PIPE OR SYSTEM.
C. IF EXISTING NATURAL RECEIVING CHANNELS OR PREVIOUSLY
CONSTRUCTED MAN-MADE CHANNELS OR PIPES ARE NOT ADEQUATE, THE
APPLICANT SHALL:
(1) IMPROVE THE CHANNELS TO A CONDITION WHERE A 10-YEAR STORM WILL
NOT OVERTOP THE BANKS AND A TWO-YEAR STORM WILL NOT CAUSE
EROSION TO THE CHANNEL, THE BED, OR THE BANKS,
(2) IMPROVE THE PIPE OR PIPE SYSTEM TO A CONDITION WHERE THE 10-YEAR
STORM IS CONTAINED WITHIN THE APPURTENANCES,
(3) DEVELOP A SITE DESIGN THAT WILL NOT CAUSE THE PRE -DEVELOPMENT
PEAK RUNOFF RATE FROM A TWO-YEAR STORM TO INCREASE WHEN RUNOFF
OUTFALLS INTO A NATURAL CHANNEL OR WILL NOT CAUSE THE PRE -
DEVELOPMENT PEAK RUNOFF RATE FROM A 10-YEAR STORM TO INCREASE
WHEN RUNOFF OUTFALLS INTO A MAN-MADE CHANNEL, OR
(4) PROVIDE A COMBINATION OF CHANNEL IMPROVEMENT, STORMWATER
DETENTION OR OTHER MEASURES WHICH IS SATISFACTORY TO THE VESCP
AUTHORITY TO PREVENT DOWNSTREAM EROSION.

FACILITY.
J. IN APPLYING THESE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT CRITERIA, INDIVIDUAL
LOTS OR PARCELS IN A RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL
DEVELOPMENT SHALL NOT BE CONSIDERED TO BE SEPARATE DEVELOPMENT
PROJECTS. INSTEAD, THE DEVELOPMENT, AS A WHOLE, SHALL BE
CONSIDERED TO BE A SINGLE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT. HYDROLOGIC
PARAMETERS THAT REFLECT THE ULTIMATE DEVELOPMENT CONDITION
SHALL BE USED IN ALL ENGINEERING CALCULATIONS.
K. ALL MEASURES USED TO PROTECT PROPERTIES AND WATERWAYS SHALL
BE EMPLOYED IN A MANNER WHICH MINIMIZES IMPACTS ON THE PHYSICAL,
CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL INTEGRITY OF RIVERS, STREAMS AND OTHER
WATERS OF THE STATE.
L. ANY PLAN APPROVED PRIOR TO JULY 1, 2014, THAT PROVIDES FOR
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT THAT ADDRESSES ANY FLOW RATE CAPACITY
AND VELOCITY REQUIREMENTS FOR NATURAL OR MAN-MADE CHANNELS
SHALL SATISFY THE FLOW RATE CAPACITY AND VELOCITY REQUIREMENTS
FOR NATURAL OR MAN-MADE CHANNELS IF THE PRACTICES ARE DESIGNED TO
(1) DETAIN THE WATER QUALITY VOLUME AND TO RELEASE IT OVER 48 HOURS;
(II) DETAIN AND RELEASE OVER A 24-HOUR PERIOD THE EXPECTED RAINFALL
RESULTING FROM THE ONE YEAR, 24-HOUR STORM; AND (III) REDUCE THE
ALLOWABLE PEAK FLOW RATE RESULTING FROM THE 1.5, 2, AND 10-YEAR, 24-
HOUR STORMS TO A LEVEL THAT IS LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO THE PEAK FLOW
RATE FROM THE SITE ASSUMING IT WAS IN A GOOD FORESTED CONDITION,
ACHIEVED THROUGH MULTIPLICATION OF THE FORESTED PEAK FLOW RATE
BY A REDUCTION FACTOR THAT IS EQUAL TO THE RUNOFF VOLUME FROM THE
SITE WHEN IT WAS IN A GOOD FORESTED CONDITION DIVIDED BY THE RUNOFF
VOLUME FROM THE SITE IN ITS PROPOSED CONDITION, AND SHALL BE
EXEMPT FROM ANY FLOW RATE CAPACITY AND VELOCITY REQUIREMENTS
FOR NATURAL OR MAN-MADE CHANNELS AS DEFINED IN ANY REGULATIONS
PROMULGATED PURSUANT TO § 62.1-44.15:54 OR 62.1-44.15:65 OF THE ACT.
