Comments & Responses
Dear Mr. James,
Thank you for your review the VSMP Plan for Lot A-13 Bundoran Farm. We have revised the plans per your most
recent comments. Please see below for a detailed response to each of your comments.
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. 1. You are only required to complete the SF SWPPP.
View template here.

The Single Family SWPPP is now provided
B. Pollution Prevention Plan (PPP)
The PPP content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-404.
PPP plan and measures have been updated and are now shown.
C. Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP)
VSMP Regulation 9VAC25-870-108 requires the VSMP authority to approve or disapprove a SWMP. This
plan is denied, and the reasons are provided in the comments below. The stormwater management plan
content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-403.
WP02022.00033 Has been added on the Cover sheet.
2. Level spreaders:
Ensure design meets water quantity standards per BMP Spec. #2, Sec. 6.3. Including but not
limited to:
a. A bypass/overflow to pipe/channel will be necessary for design flows greater than the 1-in/hr
storm or consider an alternate (LS) design.
Upon review, to satisfy section D of the stormwater quantity regulations the level spreaders have
been revised to sheet flow the 10yr 24-hour storm. Please refer to the submitted HydroCAD
calculations for information on the calculated flows. Sheet C4 now includes a level spreader sizing
table showing compliance with the latest DEQ guidance.
b. Provide a minimum 6 el width from c/l to lip.
Channel widths have been revised.
3. Lever spreader C should be relocated outside of the stream buffer. Provide justification

The stream crossing has an existing 48" pipe, our secondary pipe will add capacity but not be
physically placed in the stream bed.

The calculation table has been corrected. Note that the table uses the flattest channel slope for the
10yr storm and the steepest channel slope for the 2yr storm. This may lead to some velocities that
don't seem right between the 2 and 10yr storms however that is a function of using separate slopes
as we are checking the 10yr storm for capacity and the 2yr storm for peak velocity.
6. Provide analysis of ditches specifically 4 &5: It is preferable to use more current and conservative
rainfall values for ditch design and wondering how you arrived at those
The ditch calculations have been revised. Some errors were present in the LD-268 which has now
been revised. Note that we use the lowest grade slope in the ditch to evaluate the 10yr capacity and
the highest grade slope to evaluate the 2yr velocity. In some situations this results in a 10yr velocity
that is less than the 2yr, that is simply a function of using a lower slope in the manning's equation.
The prior spreadsheet had errors for that calculation that have been corrected now.
The LD-268 table shows that ACC x 12 = Q2 (Design Storm)
The calculation obtained for 2YR velocity is using Q2 and the maximum slope.
The calculation obtained for 10YR depth is using Q10 and the minimum slope.
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 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.
