RE: Mountain View Elementary School —VSMP Permit Plan Review— Comment Response
Letter
Dear Mr. James:
We have reviewed all of your comments from June 22, 2022 (Rev. 1) and made the necessary
revisions. Please find our responses to the comments below in bold lettering.
County Code section 17-410 and Virginia Code §62.1-44.15:34 requires the VSMP authority to

denied/approved.
The rationale is given in the comments below. The VSMP application content requirements can
be found in County Code section 17-401.
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.
