A drainage plans is typically a component of a road plan, site plan, or stormwater management plan. It
consists of the channel, ditch, culvert, and stormsewer design drawings, drainage maps, and computations
for hydrology and hydraulics.

Erosion and Sediment Control Plan checklist for plan reviewers
January 24, 2022 (Use the latest checklist from the Team Services engineering forms site)
An erosion and sediment control plan is a document which illustrates the measures used to control erosion
and sedimentation during construction. All measures follow the Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control
Handbook.
Reference key:
[Square Brackets] are County Code references, I Curved Brackets 1 are policy references, and (regular
parenthesis) are explanatory. Ljnks to reference documents are provided where possible.
Application information:
_Z Completed WPO application and fees, with owners signature [County Cod 18-32.4.3.2,
18-32.3.9. 17 Article 11] Erosion Control plans require a Water Protection Ordinance
(VvTO) application and original owner's signature. No review is provided without
application, owner signature(s) and fees. This is true even for revisions. It is important
that the owner be aware of comments and resubmittals, and this is the county assurance.
Copies of federal and state permits for any wetland or stream disturbance (Army Corps,
VDEQ, etc) [ 17-604, 18-32.1.2, 14-311
VSMP:
SWPPP, PPP, SWMP approvals obtained where necessary. In most cases, the erosion
control plan will not be submitted independently, but will be part of a Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). Unless exempt, it will be approved with the SWPPP.
Title information:
Project title. Titles should be appropriate. It should be an erosion control plan, not a
stormwater plan, or site plan, etc. In some cases a YV'PO package will contain a
stormwater plan and a mitigation plan, but they should be on separate sheets with keys
and page tities. Mitigation plans require a separate review and fee.
Profcssional sea], with original signature and date for professionally prepared plans.
Content: The erosion control plan must not contain information regarding permanent
improvements that do not also appear on other plans. Erosion control plans are temporary
documents that are discarded after projects are complete.
Existing conditions plan view information:
accurate current existing topography at the time of submittal, including all existing site
features, and any recent disturbances, all at a legible scale
date and source of the topographic information: All topography should be at least visually
field verified by the designer within the last year
WPO stream buffer limits; 100' from stream or contiguous wetland, 200-11 from
reservoirs ' or floodplain limit if greater.
No buffter disturbances without WPO Program Authority approval and a mitigation
plan.
floodplain limits (floodway and floodway fringe), including 100-yr flood limits for any
channel with a drainage area of 50+ acres and floodplain designation.
Floodplain undisturbed. Disturbances require a Special Use Permit or Floodplain
Development Permit.

inlet protection on proposed drainage systems, which are only possible to install upon
complet ion of grading, should be denied without further review.
no erosion co trol measures in the way of construction access or jeradine. Diversion
dikes or silt fence are not placed in the middle of the site, or through access or grading.
Sediment traps are not under or on top of fill material or held up by retaining walls.
Construction entrances are not on fill, etc. Grading cannot occur without perimeter
controls. Ythe conceptfor site protection is not ad�quate in this regardfirther review of
the plan may not be possible.
existing soil boundaries are shown with labels. Areas already disturbed are indicated,
with constructed fill depth or cut noted.
critical erosion areas are identified; areas of constructed slopes, areas near property lines
adjacent off -site disturbances are shown with erosion control facilities

where cut or fill balances have a 10,000 cubic yard deficit or more, plans should not be
approved without a waste area identified. This must be on -site, or on another approved
and permitted site. (Inspectors will confirin this during pre -construction meeting.)

diversion dikes are used to direct drainage to traps and basins
silt fence is not used across contours in place of diversion dikes.
silt fence is limited to areas of sheet flow with '/4acre per 100-11 of level on -grade silt
fence. Plans showing only silt fence, without sediment trapping measures, should not be
approved unless they meet this criteria and fill dirt is minimal.
all swales and low points at theverimeter of the site have a sediment trap or basin. Silt
fence in swales is typically not adequate. Check dams do not substitute for traps. If the
conceptfor siteprotection is not adequate in this regard, firther review of theplan may
not be possible.
temporary slope drains (TSD) or diversions are provided to prevent discharge over
disturbed or fill slopes

Mas� or Early Grading:
h 1AL
Nrr mass grading Planning approval. (This is also called rough or early grading plans which
contain only approximate finished grades and culverts necessary to grade) Mass grading can only
be permitted within planned developments where a concept grading plan was approved with the
rezoning. The agent (Director of Planning) needs to formally determine that the grading plan is
in general conformity with the approved rezoning plan. Otherwise, an initial site plan needs to be
approved prior to issuance of a grading permit. Issuance of a grading permit at the initial site
plan stage, as apposed to after final plan approval, requires specific approval from the County
Engineer.
