County Code section 17-410 and Virginia Code §62.1-44.15:34 requires the VSNIP authority to act on any
VSMP permit by issuing a project approval or denial. This project is approved.
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. Revise title of SWPPP to include ref, to WPO202100041 (Rev. 1) Addressed.
2, Update ESC-SWM I I" x 17" plan sheet inserts, if /when revised. (Rev. 1) Addressed,
B. Pollution Prevention Plan (PPP) —Approved
The PPP content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-404.
C. Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP)
VSMP Regulation 9VAC25-870-108 requires the VSMP authority to approve or disapprove a SWMP. This
plan is approved.
(Rev. l) All 8-Sep review comments except item l.c.i are addressed with revised 28-Oct VSMP plan.
1. Cl
a. Revise plan and SWPPP title /cover sheet include reference to WPO202100041,
b. Replace Stormwater Management Note first sentence with these two sentences: "Per the approved
ZMA200200002 and Approved SWM plans, runoff will be directed to existing regional
stormwater facilities designed for a full buildout of each site. Reference Engineeringftle 2301,
Hollymead Town Center, regional SWMI for block II SWM facility design (adjacent to Rt. 29),
and SWM2 for block III SWM facility design (west of Laurel Park Lane).

c. Despite Storrnwater Management Note that states `Both facilities, as well as the offsite storm
pipes which coney runoff into them, were designed for a maximum of 85% impervious cover....'
provide LD-229 storm pipe computations and LD-204 storm inlet design data tables that consider
total watershed full build -out runoff reaching offsite storm pipes.' It is unclear that existing storm
pipes are designed for total watershed full build -out. It is important to evaluate effects of routing
additional runoff to existing pipe networks.
i. In the case of Area C, block II, proposed on -site 1-522 18" HDPE connects with Ex. 18"
RCP (C7) at Connor Drive. (Rev. 1) Persists. Applicant response (letter d. 28-Oct 2021):
`This is now addressed in the SWM plan sheet C20. Specifically, we analyzed all site
outfall points (C 1, D2, D 1, 130) to demonstrate compliance with our best estimate of the
HTC storm sewer design parameters. We included a factor of safety for the original
estimates by estimating that the original design for this site was 5% less impervious than
the design of the overall watershed drainage area. Even with this factor of safety
included, we are confident that this development's peak runoff (shown as C * A) is less
than each storm sewers' original design. Due to this we will proceed with the submittal.
Please reference Sheet S 1 "SWM & BMP Plan" from WPO2003-02301 "Hollymead
Town Center Regional Service Area C" included with this submittal.
We will continue to search for the originals storm channel designs (LD-229, for an easy
direct comparison, as was done for Block III below), but we are confident this
development design routes runoff into the existing system at rates that comply with the
original design, thus satisfying channel protection and flood requirements.' As follow-up:
Please ref. LD-229, C 19, Al to AO, which indicates block II runoff consumes 77%
(13.42cfs of 17.4cfs) of 18" DIA (1.62%) pipe capacity. At Str. AO, development
discharge joins existing runoff within existing storm sewer system. C7 shows 18" RCP
(127.6') conveys the combined (existing + block II) runoff from Str. A0. Please evaluate
effect of combining Qio peak block II runoff, 13.42cfs, with existing peak flow at Str. AO
to ascertain whether pipe network below Str. AO is adequate to carry block II peak runoff.
Please confirm existing peak Qio flow within existing pipe network at structure AO.
Quantitative analysis is requested. (Rev. 1/update) Addressed. Email, Applicant
(December 10, 2021 2:09 PM): `This is correct, no other pipes enter All, I confirmed this
in my site visit in October.' Email, Albemarle (December 10, 2021 2:03 PM): `Please
confirm Str. AO receives flow from pipe Al -AO, and inlet at AO, only. If that's the case,
then, thanks, no further analysis requested. If additional pipes enter Str. AO, then
provided AO-BO has sufficient capacity for the Q 10 event, we ask nothing else.'
ii. In the case of Area C, block III, proposed on -site 15" HDPE connects with Ex. 24" RCP
(C8) at Lockwood Drive. (Rev. 1) Addressed. Applicant response: `This is now
addressed in the SWM plan sheets. Specifically, we analyzed the site outfall point (AO)
to demonstrate compliance with the original HTC storm sewer design parameters. It is
compliant. See included "SDP2005-00019 Abington Place — Phase F (specifically, sheet
S11) included with this submittal.'
2. C2
a. Label Connor Drive east of Timberwood Blvd.
b. Recommend a label to clarify that Area of block C north of Connor Drive and Timberwood Blvd,
east and adjacent to Berkmar Drive Ext. is not included in WP0202100041.
c. Identify regional SWM facilities as SWMI and SWM2.
3. C5, C6
a. Revise sheet title to read Site Layout, rather than Site Plan, A WPO plan does not approve a site
plan.
4. C7, C8
a. Revise Conner Drive to read Connor Drive,
5. C9
a. Name roadway network (streets /Orchid Bend).

a. Road profile will be evaluated with HTC Area C Townhomes ROAD plan. Please submit ROAD
Plan at earliest convenience.
b. Revise block II road & WL profile captions (since identical).
c. Check block III structure profile labels Note: 2 A2 labels); please revise.
d. Check /revise block II storm profile captions, as needed (Profile Al-A7).
e. F3-A7 profile: provide label /note specifying subgrade compaction for pipes /structures. Entire
pipe -structure network is in fill.
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.
7. C14
a. Acquire offsite temporary construction easement to construct stepped retaining walls, if needed,
TMP 32-43. (Rev. 1) Addressed. Applicant response: `An offsite temporary construction
easement will not be necessary for the stepped retaining walls as the walls will be constructed
from above.'
b. Please remove extraneous linework that may be mistaken as a third (stepped) retaining wall, this
linework crosses DD, proposed grade, and a feature that is unknown. Eliminate linework unless
relevant to ESCP Phase 1. Highlight yellow, image, bolo . (Rev. 1) Addressed.

c. During HTC hotel construction downslope in the same development, a sediment trap (sized per
VESCH) positioned near the edge of the hotel development failed on several occasions. In that
instance, sediment -laden release to neighboring parcels following storm events proved resistant to
remedy. Experience of failed attempts to modify a trap with limited offset distance to property
line is sufficient basis for Engineering to request additional volume for STI, ST2. Any failure of
either ST will result in release of sediment -laden discharge to Connor Drive, existing storm inlets,
and ex. storm network.
Note: proposal to use existing culvert as sediment trap 1 outlet is virtually identical to proposal at
HTC hotel, where this approach failed.

(Rev. 1) Addressed. Applicant response: `Noted, this is an agreeable request, with the trap
location in a developed and heavy -trafficked area, in an equivalent situation to a location with
documented trap failure. Both STI and ST2 have been oversized by 15% to prevent sediment trap
failure on block II.'
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.
Stormwater Management Facilities Maintenance agreements v 11 also havo to be ,.,... pleted and are recorded. TIC

After bonding and agFeements aFe is complete, county staff will enter project information in a DEQ database for
state application processing. DEQ will review the application information based on local VSW 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 entails 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 VSNIP and
grading permit will be issued by the County so that work may begin.
County forms can be found on the county website forms center under Engineering Applications:
