County Code section 17-410 and Virginia Cod 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 denied.
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)
1. The Contractor and RLD for this project are still in the process of being selected. Once
this information is available it will be added to the SWPPP document.

document.
3. All drawings have been updated to reflect requested plan changes.

1. The reference to grading has been removed from the PPP.
2. The PPP drawing has been updated to reflect requested plan changes.

Virginia Code §62.1-44.1S: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.
