EXPORT/FILL ACTIVITY REQUIREMENTS
Sec. 5.1.28 - Clean earth and inert waste fill activity.
Each clean earth fill activity or inert waste fill activity not established and operated in
conjunction with a permitted use under section 30.4 of this chapter or established and
operated in conjunction with an approved site plan or subdivision are subject to the
following requirements:
1. Each active fill area shall be shaped and sloped so that no undrained pockets or
stagnant pools of water are created to the maximum extent reasonably practicable
as determined by the program authority. All undrained pockets and stagnant pools
of water resulting from drainage shall be treated as required by the Virginia
Department of Health to eliminate breeding places for mosquitoes and other
insects. Slope may not exceed 3:1. The height of fill may not exceed eight feet
above natural grade.
2. No fill area shall be located either within the flood hazard overlay district, except
as authorized by section 30.3 of this chapter, or in any stream buffer area as
defined by Chapter 17 of the Code of Albemarle or on any hydric soils as identified
by the United States Department of Agriculture.
3. Each fill area shall be reclaimed within seven days of completion of the fill activity,
or such later time authorized by the program authority for reclamation activities of
a seasonal nature. Reclamation shall include, but not be limited to, restoring the
area so that it approximates natural contours; shaping and sloping the area to
satisfy the requirements of subsection (a)(1); and establishing a permanent
vegetative ground cover.
4. Inert waste fill must be topped with clean earth fill to a minimum depth of two feet
in order to allow for permanent stabilization and reclamation; and establishing a
permanent vegetative ground cover; provided that the program authority may
reduce the minimum depth of clean earth fill to one foot if the area is unlikely to
be redeveloped.
5. The zoning administrator, or the program authority for those fill areas subject to
subsection (b), may require the owner to submit a reasonable performance bond
with surety, cash escrow, letter of credit, any combination thereof, or such other
legal arrangement acceptable to the county attorney, to ensure that measures
could be taken by the county or the program authority at the owner's expense
should the owner fail, after notice is given to perform required reclamation work
specified in the notice. The amount of the bond or other surety shall be based on
unit pricing for new public or private sector construction in Albemarle County,
Virginia, and a reasonable allowance for estimated administrative costs and
inflation which shall not exceed 25 percent of the estimated cost to initiate and
complete the reclamation of the borrow, fill or waste area, and to comply with all
other terms and conditions of the plan or narrative required by subsection (b). If
reclamation work is required to be taken by the county or the program authority
upon the failure of the owner to do so, the county or the program authority may
collect the reasonable cost of the work directly from the owner, to the extent that
the cost exceeds the unexpended or unobligated amount of the surety. Within 60
days after the reclamation work is completed and inspected and approved by the
county engineer, the bond or other surety, or any unexpended or unobligated
portion thereof, shall be refunded to the owner.
6. Fill activity (except for access) must be set back a minimum of 150 feet from any
entrance corridor street.
7. Fill activity (except for access) must be set back a minimum of 75 feet from all
property lines in the Rural Areas (RA), Village Residential (VR), Monticello Historic
District (MHD), and residential zoning districts, and from all public street rights of
way. Access must be set back 50 feet from property lines and 100 feet from
dwellings on adjacent property. No setback is required if adjoining lots are under
the same ownership. The access to a fill activity is not subject to the setback from
public street right of way.
8. Fill activity must be set back a minimum of 50 feet from all non-residential
property lines. No setback is required if adjoining lots are under the same
ownership.
9. Minimum lot size for fill activity is five acres. Multiple parcels under the same
ownership and with the same zoning designation may be considered as a single lot
for the purpose of achieving the minimum lot size.
10. No fill activity may occur within the drip line of any tree.
11. The maximum area for fill activity on any parcel in existence on September 16,
2020 is two acres. Determining area for fill activity includes all locations used, or
designated to be used, for fill, vehicle storage and vehicle maintenance but does
not include area used for exclusively for access.
12. Notwithstanding section 4.3 of this chapter, trees may be cut, provided a plan as
required by subsection (b) is submitted. However, no tree of 36 inches or greater
in diameter may be cut.
13. If a private street, shared driveway or access easement is used, the applicant must
demonstrate that the access is adequate for the proposed activity and that the
applicant has the right to use the access. In order for access to be deemed
adequate, the owner must limit vehicles associated with the fill activity to not more
than 56,000 pounds. In addition, the access must meet the standards of section
4.6.6 of this chapter and have a surface adequate to accommodate a vehicle
weighing 56,000 pounds. The owner may increase the weight of vehicles
associated with the fill activity to a maximum of 80,000 pounds, provided that the
access meets the standards of section 4.6.6 of this chapter and has a surface
adequate to accommodate a vehicle weighing 80,000 pounds.
14. No fill activity may occur until the Virginia Department of Transportation has
approved the entrance onto the highway.
15. Except for properties zoned Rural Areas (RA), Village Residential (VR) or Monticello
Historic District (MHD), tree canopy for area(s) disturbed by fill activity must be
established and maintained in compliance with section 32.7.9.8 of this chapter.
b. Any fill activity with an aggregate area greater than 2,500 square feet requires a plan
or narrative, subject to the prior approval of the program authority, that satisfies the
requirements of subsection (a) and the following provisions:
1. All materials shall be transported in compliance with section 13-301 of the Code of
Albemarle. Before a transporting vehicle leaves the parcel or parcels on which the
fill area is located, it shall be cleaned so that no materials outside of the vehicle's
load -bed can be deposited on a public or private street.
2. The fill area and the access roads thereto shall be treated or maintained to prevent
dust or debris from blowing or spreading onto adjacent properties or public
streets.
3. Fill activity shall be limited to the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., except in cases of
a public emergency as determined by the director of emergency services for the
county.
4. Fill activity shall be conducted in a safe manner that maintains lateral support, in
order to minimize any hazard to persons, physical damage to adjacent land and
improvements, and damage to any public street because of slides, sinking, or
collapse.
5. The placement of fill shall be completed within one year of its commencement,
except for reclamation activities and any other activities associated with the final
stabilization of the area. The program authority may extend the date of completion
upon the written request of the applicant, demonstrating that factors beyond the
control of the applicant prevented the completion within the one-year period. The
program authority may then extend the permit for a period of time that, in its sole
discretion, is determined adequate to complete the work.
6. In lieu of a plan or narrative, the program authority may accept a contractual
agreement between the Virginia Department of Transportation and its contractor
for a public road project; provided that the program authority determines that the
agreement satisfies at least to an equivalent extent the requirements and intent of
this section.
c. Inert waste fill activity is not permitted in the Rural Areas (RA), Village Residential (VR)
or Monticello Historic District (MHD) zoning districts without approval of a variation or
exception as permitted in section 33.43 of this chapter.
d. The Board of Supervisors may approve a variation or exception from any requirement
of this section.
A variation or exception from any requirement of this section may be approved
upon a finding that any of the following factors are satisfied: (i) the proposed fill
activity would further agricultural use of the property; (ii) the variation or exception
would allow for a more natural appearance of the site after the fill activity has
occurred; (iii) a reduction in setback from the entrance corridor is recommended
by the Architectural Review Board; (iv) the variation or exception is supported by
the abutting owners impacted by the variation or exception; (v) approval of any
variation or exception is consistent with an approved and valid initial or
preliminary site plan or any other land use decision of the County; (vi) the
proposed fill activity will be of limited duration (less than 90 days) and involve not
more than 10,000 cubic feet of fill within any 12 months.
2. The agent will provide written notice by first class mail or by hand at least five days
before the Board hearing to the owner or owners, their agent or the occupant, of
each parcel involved; to the owners, their agent or the occupant, of all abutting
property and property immediately across the street or road from the property
affected, including those parcels which lie in other localities of the Commonwealth;
and, if any portion of the affected property is within a planned unit development,
then to such incorporated property owners associations within the planned unit
development that have members owning property located within 2,000 feet of the
affected property as may be required by the commission or its agent.
3. A party's actual notice of, or active participation in, the proceedings for which the
written notice provided by this section is required waives the right of that party to
challenge the validity of the proceeding due to failure of the party to receive the
written notice required by this section.
