Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority (RWSA) — Dyon Vega, dveoana.rivanna.oro — Requested changes. See below and see attached document title "RWSA Acceptable Plantings for Water and Sewer Easements' for reference. General 1. On all pages that show RWSA easement (C2, C4, C4.1, C5, C7, 1_1) it reads "Approximate location of 20' RWSA waterline." When I think you are calling out the RWSA in that location. Please include Easement in the label. 2. Include DB and PN for waterline easement. (DB 460 PN 636) Sheet C4.0 3. How deep are the footings for the retaining wall? We want to make sure the tooter do not impact the zone of influence for the waterline. Sheet C4.1 4. For the TS and Valve a 12x6 is called out however it shows a 12" RWSA line and your proposed line says 8". lam assuming the TS&V should be 12"x8". Sheet C7.0 5. Can you provide RWSA an access easement that follows the 8" WL and matches the ACSA access easement in order to get access to the easement we have on your property. Sheet L1.0 6. No tress planted within the easement. I have attached a planting list as well. Having trees like Oaks next to waterlines can cause damage our pipes underground. WWW.ALBEMARLE.ORG 401 McIntire Road, North Wing, I Charlottesville, VA 22902-4579 Albemarle County Planning — Transportation —Alberic Karina-Plun, akplunna.albemarle.org — Requested changes. See below. There are conflicting notes in regard to the SUP on sheet C4.0. It shows the SUP as a "10' Asphalt Sidewalk (Typ.)" but then also says "Share -use path- Future Construct By Others." The county requires pedestrian facilities to be constructed with development under Sec. 32.7.2.3 of the Albemarle County Code. Also, we have had some meetings with VDOT on the path design, so it might be beneficial for both of us to meet to discuss some aspects on the design that might be helpful to consider as you move forward.

While RWSA will voluntarily exercise reasonable care when performing inspection, operation, or maintenance activities in the areas of the alternative plantings, RWSA cannot guarantee that damage will not occur and cannot commit to replacing damaged vegetation. The following is the approved list of groundcovers permitted within RWSA easements: Festuca orundinacea Tall Fescue Poo pratensis Kentucky Bluegrass Loliumperenne Perennial Ryegrass Achillea millefolium Common Yarrow Andropogon virginicus Broom Sedge Asclepias tuberose Butterfly Milkweed Acceptable Shrubs and Trees for Outer 20 Feet Elymus virginicus Lolium multiflorum Panicum dichotomiflorum Panicum virgatum Sorghastrum nutans Rudbeckia hirta Virginia Wild Rye Annual Rye Smooth Panic Grass Switch Grass Indian Grass Black -Eyed Susan Where easement widths exceed a total of 20 feet, RWSA may allow the installation of appropriate shrub and tree species a minimum of 10 feet from the water or sewer line. While there are no shrubs and trees that are completely safe to grow over a utility line, appropriate species offer the utility line less risk of intrusion from roots because they are smaller in size, shallow -rooted, slower growing, and drought resistant. Alternative plantings must be approved by RWSA priorto installation, and while RWSA will voluntarily exercise reasonable care when performing inspection, operation, or maintenance activities in the areas of the alternative plantings, RWSA cannot guarantee that damage will not occur and cannot commit to replacing damaged vegetation. Because of the risk of damage, plantings should be inexpensive and expendable.
