A. Erosion Control Plan
Effective February 7t1', 2008, all Rural Area building permit applications were required to provide an
Erosion and Sediment Control Plan, narrative, application (Water Protection Ordinance Application), and fee,
to accompany a building permit application and plan. The County Engineer has now authorized agreements -
in- lieu -of -plans for Erosion and Sediment Control for Rural Dwellings with proposed disturbances of less
than an acre. A Critical Resource Plan is required in addition to agreement -in- lieu -of- plans. For applicants
who have submitted formal Erosion Control Plans between February 7"' and now, Engineering staff are
checking the plans to see if the applicant can now submit an agreement with accompanying Critical Resource
Plan. If eligible, the County can process the previously submitted Erosion Control Plan as the Critical
Resource Plan.
Applicants who have previously submitted formal Erosion Control Plans and meet the new criteria
for submitting an agreement have two options: you can either continue to pursue the approval of the
submitted Erosion Control Plan, or withdraw the plan and submit an agreement with accompanying Critical
Resource Plan. Staff recommends submitting an agreement because the processing of the building permit
should be much timelier than submitting a formal erosion control plan.
You have previously submitted an Erosion Control Plan, and it appears you may be eligible to submit
an agreement rather than a formal Erosion Control Plan. I have reviewed the plan to verify whether or not it
meets all the requirements of a Critical Resources Plan. (See attached memo on Critical Resources Plan
requirements.) Please address the following comments to the plan and resubmit the plan as a Critical
Resources Plan along with an Erosion Control Agreement to accompany the building permit application:
1. Please label the plans "Critical Resources Plan ".
2. Please show the critical slopes layer per Albemarle County GIS -Web on the plans. All proposed
disturbance should remain outside of critical slopes.
3. Please resubmit the Critical Resources Plan along with an Erosion Control Agreement for Single
Family Residences application to accompany your previously submitted building permit:
B200800535SF. A copy of the Agreement application can be found here:

applications/Erosion _ &_ Sediment _ Control_ Agreement_ for Single Family Residence_Constructio
n Responsible_ Land_Disturber.pdf
4. Once an agreement has been submitted, the previously submitted Erosion Control Plan will be
withdrawn. If you would like to pursue the approval of the originally submitted Erosion Control Plan,
please contact me.
If you have any questions please contact me:
