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.
ApyAcation information:
Completed WPO application and fees, with owners signature [County Code 1 5-32.4.3.2,
18-32.19. 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.
ZCopies of federal and state permits for any wetland or stream disturbance. (Army Corps,
VDEQ, etc) [17-312A,B, 17-319B,D, 17-320CD, 18-32.1.2, 14-311;
Title information:
n 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.
n 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.
Existing conditions plan view information:
CD accurate current existing topography at the time of submittal, including all existing site
features, and any recent disturbances, all at a legible scale
0 date and source of the topographic information: All topography should be at least visually
field verified by the designer within the last year
(9 WPO buffer limits; 100' from stream or wetland bank, 200' from reservoirs, or
floodplain limit if greater.
No huffier disturbances without WPO Program Authority approval and a mitigation

floodplain limits, including 100yr flood limits for any channel with a drainage area of
50+acres.

Development Permit.

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.
