Stormwater Management Plan checklist for plan reviewers
5 Mar 2014 (Use the latest checklist from the Team Services engineering forms site)
A stormwater management plan is a plan detailing all measures and facilities to handle and treat
stormwater runoff and protect downstream waters and channels. [17-303,304, and the Virginia
Stormwater Management Handbook, and the BMP Clearing House]
A note to plan reviewers; This list is an aid to review. No plan is perfect. Not all items will be
applicable,and some will be compromised.

for the disturbance. [18-4.2. 14-304]
Retaining Wall Plans. Any walls supporting necessary infrastructure require engineered
plans (not generic manufacturer's details) and computations. -{Design Manual, section 8}
This will also be required where walls are close to property lines and there is the danger
of affecting neighboring property, either during construction, with later failures, or with
pedestrian or vehicle safety.

Erosion and Sediment Control Plan checklist for plan reviewers
5 Mar 2014 (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 Erosions and Sediment Control
Handbook.
Reference key;
[Square Brackets] are County Code references, {Curved Brackets} are policy references, and(regular
parenthesis)are explanatory. Links to reference documents are provided where possible.
Application information:
/ Completed WPO application and fees,with owners signature [County Code 18-32.4.3.2,
18-32.3.9, 17-203, 17-303] Erosion Control plans require a Water Protection Ordinance
(WPO) application and original owner's signature. No review is provided without
application, owner signature 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.
ilia Copies of federal and state permits for any wetland or stream disturbance. (Army Corps,
VDEQ, etc) [17-312A,B. 17-319B,D. 17-320C.D. 18-32.1.2, 14-311]
Title information:
X 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 WPO package will contain a
stormwater plan and a mitigation plan, but they should be on separate sheets with keys
and page titles.
Professional seal, 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.

Mass or Early Grading:
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.
