RESPONSE: Sediment trap labels are now shown that match the detail on C12.
2. ST1 adjacent to Valley Street, Rt. 20: Please increase trap size so that ST failure is less likely, and any
failure is less severe. Roadside ditch -line topography may not readily accommodate release of sediment -
laden water. Please target 25% increase above minimum required volumes. If design volume is the strict
design minimum, then at- ire will be hard to remedy. It will be difficult to inc trap size, later.
RESPONSE: Agreed, the sediment trap has been oversized to handle a 25% increase in capacity.

^'I le paved wash rack detail on plans; ref. p. 8, ACDSM, link:
https://www.albemarle.org/Home/ShowDocurnent?id=270
RESPONSE: The construction entrance detail has been updated accordingly.
Provide silt fence between diversion dike and Rt. 20_
RESPONSE: Silt fence is now shown between the diversion dike and Rt. 20.
5. C8:
a. Label trap floor dimensions.
b. Indicate stockpile location, if any.
c. Area upslope of SF along southwest limits of disturbance exceeds 100 LF. Revise to provide
additional or alternative VESCH measures, since upslope length above SF is 100' Max.
d. Label drainage areas for each trap that correspond with Cl I DAs (1.36, 0.84 Ac.).
RESPONSE: a. ST floor dimensions are now shown. b. Stockpiles are not anticipated for this site. c. The
silt fence has been removed and the diversion dike extended to capture this area in sediment trap #2. The
high point in the existing grade will be excavated to facilitate drainage until curb and drainage structures
are installed. d. ST drainage areas are now shown on the phase 1 E&SC plan sheet.
6. Provide interim ESC plan and sequence that anticipate ESC measures required to transition ST2 to a
detention pond while maintaining adequate ESC that prevents off -site sediment release. Ph ESC plan
shows a perimeter sediment trap. Ph2 ESC shows biofilter, and a detention pond that occupies sediment
trap (ST2) location without any indication how site runoff will be controlled as site transitions from Pal
to Ph2. During transition, site runoff must be controlled with adequate ESC measures at south edge of
site.
RESPONSE: Additional SF is now shown being placed prior to conversion of the sediment trap to the
detention pond.
7. Provide Note that biorctcntion may not he constructed until all upslope areas arc stabilized.
RESPONSE: A note has been added that the upslope area must be stabilized prior to bioretention basin
construction.
8. Provide SAF along Rt. 20 and Rt. 726.
RESPONSE: SF is now shown along Rt. 20 and 726.
9. if unbalanced cut/fill site, if export is required, please note destination for off -site export.
RESPONSE: No offsite disposal is anticipated. Should that change, the registration statement and permit
will be updated.
