County Code section 17-410 and Virginia Code §62.1-44.15:34 requires the VSMP authority to
act on any VSMP permit by issuing a project approval or denial. This project is
approved/disapproved. 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.
1. Please provide current Old Trail VAR coverage map.
2. Please provide a registration statement. It can be checked at the top: modification
without acreage increase (if there is no acreage change based on the map from comment
#1).
B. Pollution Prevention Plan (PPP)
The PPP content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-404.
1. Plan view was provided, however please provide everything in county code 17-404
(Section 6 of this template) This must be project/site specific:

0.
2. If there are any changes to the E&S plan before plan approval, please update this PPP
plan to match.
C. Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP)
VSMP Regulation 9VAC25-870-108 requires the VSMP authority to approve or disapprove a
SWMP. This plan is disapproved, and the reasons are provided in the comments below. The
stormwater management plan content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-
403.
1. Initial site plan will need to be approved before the WPO plan can be approved.
2. [Cover Sheet] Please adjust the location arrow on the vicinity map.
3. [Cover Sheet] Provide specific date of the survey/topographic information. It just says
2021.
4. Please provide the DB & PG or instrument number for all easements.

5. [Sheet C5.0] Please fix contours for houses fronting Golf Drive. Is there a small retaining
wall? If so, please label it. Per County Code, the maximum slope allowed is 2:1.
6. [Sheet C5.0] Please provide spot shots between groups of houses to ensure water drains
away from the houses. One example is between lots 35 and 36.
7. [Sheet C5.0] Please provide spot shots to show positive drainage away from houses. For
example, the rear of lots 40-44.
8. Roof drains must tie into the storm system. Please note this on the plans.
9. [Sheet C7.1] Please update the SWM summary. It references Block 7C.
10. [Sheet C7.1] Please clarify the approved CN for facility L-1. Table 4, page 4.23 of the
master SWM plan says CN=77.7 for area 5113-2. Your proposed CN of 78 is higher than
that.
D. Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP)
Virginia Code §62.1-44.15:55 requires the VESCP authority to approve or disapprove an ESCP.
This plan is approved/disapproved, and the reasons are provided in the comments below. The
erosion control plan content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-402.
1. [SheetC3.2] Ensure the wash rack from the construction entrance drains to ST 3.
2. [Sheet C3.2] Sediment traps should not outfall onto existing sidewalks.
3. [Sheet C3.2] Please label the contours on the sediment traps.
4. [Sheet C3.3] Please show inlet protection for all proposed storm inlets.
The VSMP permit application and all plans may be resubmitted for approval when all comments
have been satisfactorily addressed. For re -submittals please provide 2 copies of the complete
permit package with a completed application form.
Engineering plan review staff are available from 2-4 PM on Thursdays, should you require a
meeting to discuss this review.
Process:
After approval, erosion and sediment control and stormwater management improvements must
be bonded. The bonding process begins when the plan is approved, and the applicant submits a
bond estimate request form and fee to the Department of Community Development. A plan
reviewer will prepare estimates and check parcel and easement information based on the
approved plans. The County's Management Analyst will prepare bond agreement forms, which
will need to be completed by the owner and submitted along with cash, certificates or sureties
for the amounts specified. The agreements will need to be approved and signed by the County
Attorney and County Engineer. This may take 2-4 weeks to obtain all the correct signatures and
forms.
Stormwater Management Facilities Maintenance agreements will also need to be completed and
recorded. The County's Management Analyst or other staff will prepare the forms and check for

ownership and signature information. The completed forms will need to be submitted to the
County, who will record the agreement.
After bonding and agreements are complete, county staff enters project information in a DEQ
database for state application processing, if a DEQ permit is required. DEQ reviews the
application information based on local VSMP authority approval. At this time, the DEQ portion of
the application fees will need to be paid directly to the state. For fastest processing, this is done
electronically with the emails provided on the application. DEQ should notify applicants with
instructions on how to pay fees. When DEQ approves the application, they will issue a permit
coverage letter, which must be posted at the construction site.
After DEQ coverage is issued, via the coverage letter, the County can hold a pre -construction
conference. Applicants must complete the request for a pre -construction conference form and
pay the remainder of the application fee. The form identifies the contractor and responsible land
disturber, and the fee remaining to be paid. This will be checked by county staff, and upon
approval, a pre -construction conference will be scheduled with the County inspector. At the pre -
construction conference, should everything proceed satisfactorily, a joint VSMP and grading
permit will be issued by the County so that work may begin.
County forms can be found on the county website forms center under engineering;
