Planning Application Review for SDP202200029 S.L. WILLIAMSON ASPHALT PLANT AT RED HILL QUARRY -
FINAL - DIGITAL . [ Engineering review comments]
Date:

The Review for the following application has been completed:
Application Number = SDP202200029
Reviewer = John Anderson
Review Status = Requested Changes
Completed Date = 05/22/2022
This email was sent from County View Production.
Ben,
Thanks for your patience.
I copied RGA since: we anticipate WPO plan submittal soon; Engineering hopes to review it, once
submitted, as expeditiously as possible; S.L. Williamson plant upgrades are critical; and I am away with
infrequent response likely, now thru 7-Jun. I hope it was okay to cc: Ammy and Jim. Thanks, again.
Ammy, Jim,
Please feel free to text brief notice of WPO plan submittal to: 434.906-1506 ( if submitted while I am
away). `SL Williamson Red Hill Asphalt WPO plan submittal,' or text to that effect should alert me. I may
be able to review or respond prior to 7-Jun, but will be out -of -office thru 7-Jun. Thank you, both.

1. Sheet 4:
a. Provide existing spot shot elevations to delineate /establish there is an existing berm along
west edge of (S.L. Williamson) lease area not precisely reflected by existing topographic
contours. FSP does not indicate proposed change to berm along west edge of lease area.
Without such grade change, existing topography will direct site storm runoff to proposed
settling basins, which then in turn may (on rare occasion) fill to the point that detained
volume crests proposed settling basin rim (please provide spot elev. for each proposed
settling basin to establish low point of rim, sheet 8 , at which point, given existing
topography, Engineering anticipates shallow flooding of the asphalt plant could occur (as it
may at present) prior to breaching overall perimeter lease area berm. This is important:
existing perimeter grade prevents storm runoff reaching a stream to the west without first
passing through a settling basin. The manner of settling basin pass -through is via shallow
flooding with detained basin volume first breaching existing settling basin rim, and then
(which may occur infrequently, or perhaps never during a 10-yr storm event) ponded
elevation may rise until such point detained runoff may crest lease area perimeter elevation.
During site visit 4/15/22, Engineering observed no trace or pattern of detained storm runoff
escaping lease area. Rather, ponded runoff level does not appear to exceed existing settling
basin capacity. Drawdown of existing settling basin ponded volume appears to occur via
infiltration to earth, or evaporation. Ref email to Applicant (J. Anderson to Planning Div.
coordinator /RGA: April 19, 2022 4:27 PM; ISP/FSP review comments, SDP202100092) for
additional information. The purpose of discussing settling basin elevations in detail is to
affirm Engineering understanding of design, which is: site storm runoff will in fact reach one
of two proposed settling basins depicted on sheet 8 prior to reaching the stream to the west
(unnamed tributary to North Fork Hardware River). Also, item 2 , below (from 4/19/22
Engineering review comment email).
b. Remainder of Engineering review comments for SDP202200029 mirror text sent as April 19,
2022 4:27 PM email; specifically:
2. -C7 [Now Sheet g/Grading Plan with SDP202200029]
a. Provide spot elevations that indicate all site storm runoff reaches proposed settling basins, and
that establishes relative grade as close as possible to existing vertical interval between rims of
existing settling basins and perimeter site grade before slope falls steeply to the creek.
b. With WPO plan:
i. Provide mitigation plan (with proposed plantings) for proposed improvements within
landward 50' of stream buffer.
ii. Compare (via table) existing volume and proposed volume of settling basins. Total
proposed settling basin volume should exceed total existing settling basin volume.
iii. Recommend submit WPO plan /application at earliest convenience.
iv. Note: site visit 15-Apr by county engineering indicates volume of existing settling
basins, existing basin rim elev., inlet design, site perimeter elevation, and
circulation patterns appear to provide adequate storm runoff management for
routine operations at the plant, and as discussed /outlined in correspondence with
RGA (email, Friday, April 15, 2022 1:03 PM), design that mimics current basin
volume, rim elevation/s, and site perimeter elevation are goals that may alleviate
nearly entirely storm runoff concerns relative to adjacent stream water quality.
3. An approved WPO plan (ESC, SWM, Mitigation) is required prior to FSP approval.
4. Settling basins are not SWM facilities, but rather serve industrial site runoff settling /filtering
function. Water evaporates from basins. Ex. settling basins have no outlet. Engineering anticipates
similar design with WPO plan: details that provide basin volume, profiles, with no outlet.' "

As requested, I have reviewed the Preliminary Plat referenced above, dated 4/18/22, for
compliance with VDH regulatory requirements. Permitting will be necessary when the
pump & haul holding tank is replaced, but for the purposes of this review, I have no
objection to the site plan and recommend approval.
If there are any questions or concerns, please give me a call, 434-972-4306.
