C. Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP)
VSMP Regulation 9VAC25-870-108 requires the VSMP authority to approve or disapprove a SWMP. This
plan is disapproved for reasons listed below. The stormwater management plan content requirements can be
found in County Code section 17-403.
1. C0.0
a. Revise plan set title to include ref. to WPO202200032. (Rev. 1) Addressed.

2. C6.2
a. Revise capacity of pipe 417 103 such that Q provided > Q required (24.466cfs v. 38.16cfs). (Rev.
1) Persists. Applicant: `We think reviewer means pipe 103 (not 127) [yes, true, thank you]. Pipe
103 has been upsized. See Sheet C6.2.' Please note: Table, C6.2 appears to report identical
values for pipe 103 as listed in comment, possible review error. If so, please notify. (Rev. 2)
Addressed. Applicant: `Storm pipe calculations have been updated to reflect latest layout and
grading. All pipes have Q provided > Q required.'
3. C6.3
a. Revise Calculations (7/15/22), SWPPP, and plan to reference:
i. Existing dry detention basin, SWM facility ID 0021.01 rather than `Keglers Regional
Pond' since Kegler's is not a regional pond within regulatory meaning of the definition,
but rather a typical SWM facility immediately adjacent to development areas which drain
to it. Many developments drain to it, but it was constructed primarily to serve Kegler's
(bowling alley) and Lowe's 30 years ago. As development has progressed along Berkmar
(Harvest Moon, UVA Credit Union, ACSPCA /improvements pending, Berkmar
Overlook, now Berkmar Self -Storage /hotel), reliance on the small detention basin is a
proposition Engineering evaluates with care since the Ex. detention basin is not a
`regional' facility. VAC states: "A locality's VSMP authority may develop
comprehensive stormwater management plans to be approved by the department [DEQ]
that meet the water quality objectives, quantity objectives, or both of this chapter."
(9VAC25-870-92). 9VAC25-870-69 outlines offsite compliance options that a VSMP
authority may allow an operator to use to meet required phosphorus nutrient reductions,
including "Offsite controls utilized in accordance with a comprehensive stormwater
management plan adopted pursuant to 9VAC25-870-92 for the local watershed within
which a project is located." The small detention basin was not developed by Albemarle
as a regional SWM facility —it is simply a detention basin. (Rev. 1) Addressed.
Reference to Kegler's Regional Pond has been removed.
b. Include supplemental narrative in Cale. packet:
Engineering Review Comments
Page 3 of 9
i. Please state: "Albemarle SWM facility database states existing dry detention basin
watershed is 61.87 Ac. with 21.37 Ac. impervious. Plan approval date is 11/19/87.
Facility is listed in county SWM database (co -owned by) Keglers of Charlottesville and
Lowes Investment Corp 434/"Proposed development, Berkmar Self -Storage, appears to
lack ownership in the facility, or privilege to use it. Applicant parcel is not child to
parent subdivision that might assign use rights to Applicant. Applicant should coordinate
/execute notarized Agreement with owner to use the existing dry detention basin, and
furnish copy to Albemarle. Albemarle would not be party to this Agreement, but relies
on prior -recorded instruments —see item iii. If Applicant is aware of an implicit right to
rely upon the existing dry detention basin exists (via recorded instrument), please advise
Engineering so we may forward document/s to county attorney's office for their review.
(Rev. 1) Need for Agreement persists. Applicant: `The supplemental narrative has been
added as requested to the calculations packet. The owner/engineer are working with the
County regarding legal documentation.' Note: Albemarle is not party to the Agreement.
(Rev. 2) Comment revised: If easement plat /Notarized Agreement with adjacent parcel
are famished to Albemarle with or prior to ESP submittal -approval, that is soon enough.
Applicant: `Noted. The Owner is currently working on preparing all required easement
plats and agreements needed to complete the work within the offsite basin.' As follow-
up: ref. county email to Applicant, March 3, 2023 10:29 AM.
ii. Add Note ref. to: Deed of Easement (establishes right of County to Maintain), DB-PG:
1786-0734, recorded 2/9/99. (Rev. 1) Addressed.
iii. Add Note ref. to: Detention Pond Easement Plat, DB-PG: 1786-0737, plat by Wiley &
Wilson, Lynchburg, April 15, 1994. (Rev. 1) Addressed.
iv. Add Note ref. to: County of Albemarle deed of easement with Keglers of Charlottesville
(item iii, above). (Rev. 1) Addressed.
c. Revise ex. detention basin detail rim of riser label to read 471.0 rather than 417.0. (Rev. 1)
Addressed. [Image removed with Rev. 2 comments]
4. Calculation packet /Additional:
a. Revise title /cover of calc. packet to ref. to WPO202200032. (Rev. 1) Addressed.
b. Please review, compare (with calcs), and incorporate, as needed:
i. SDP200300102 Lowe's Home Centers Inc. Minor Amendment, and
ii. SDP199500087, Lowe's Calculations and Approved plan in Berkman Self -Storage
evaluation of ex. detention basin (design, parameters, As -built volume /structures,
routings, etc.), and revise design /calculations, as needed.
Note: Albemarle sent link to files /plans: County Engineer (Frank Pohl) to Timmons
Group (C. Kotarski) and Milestone Partners (Frank Stoner), Sep. 28, 2021, 4:30 PM.
(Rev. 1) Addressed. Applicant: `The Lowes calculations (SDP-1995-0087) packet has
been referenced on Sheets C6.0 and C6.1. SDP-2003-00102 was a minor amendment to
the photometrics of the parking lot and not applicable to hydrology.'
c. Separate post-DEV offsite drainage areas into discrete areas since CN / Tc differ for off -site DAs.
i. Tc, Berkmar Overlook residential development, for example, C6.1 should be routed with
Tc=7.2min, not 20.5min, as appears to be the case on pg. 25 of calc. packet. Please route
offsite Areas A, B, C as distinct separate DAs in HydroCAD pre- /post-DEV routings.
ii. Specifically, the following (see C6.1) should route as sub -catchments, not a weighted Tc
/CN, single, off -site contributing DA to the dry detention basin:
1. DA Area —A (S of Berkman Overlook Development): 36.6 Ac, CN =70, Tc
=20.5min
2. 36.6 DA: Delineate developed v. undeveloped; route developed areas and one
undeveloped area to obtain a composite pre- /post-DEV (pre- /post, identical)
peak flow for each inlet discharging to the basin:
a. Developed parcels NW of Int. Woodbrook Drive Berkmar Drive.
b. Charlottesville -Albemarle SPCA
Engineering Review Comments
Page 4 of 9
c. Harvest Moon
d. UVA credit union
e. Undeveloped
Note: At first glance, SPCA, Credit Union and Harvest Moon appear to
have high CN /low Tc, and may be anticipated to deliver peak flow
rates nearly simultaneously. Also, pre- /post-DEV rates for all off -site
areas will be identical, since not affected by Berkmar Self -Storage
development, but it is important to discriminate between off -site
developed v. undeveloped areas as was done for Berkmar Overlook.
Timmons Group likely has reliable post-dev H&H data for ACSPCA
(WPO201800030), having prepared the design. (Rev. 1) Addressed.
Applicant: `Revisions have been made to the H&H calculations packet
per above directive.'
3. Route Lowe's to basin, along with areas discussed in items 4.c.ii. L-2., above.
(Rev. 1) Addressed. Applicant: `This area is accounted for in the H&H model.'
4. Route Kegler's (bowling alley) to basin, along with 1,2,3. (Rev. 1) Addressed.
Applicant: `This area is accounted for in the H&H model.'
5. Route Rivanna Plaza to basin, along with L-4.
Note: Engineering does not use /run HydroCAD; we comment on methodology.
(Rev. 1) Addressed. Applicant: `This area is not accounted for in the H&H
model since this site does not drain to the pond. In the `Berkman Drive North
Extension Drainage Map 03-30-1994, this area is listed as "undetained." Please
see plans by DDR showing storm network connecting directly to storm pipes
along Route 29.'
6. DA B (Berkmar Overlook development): 6.78 Ac., CN =80.9, Tc=7.2min.
(Rev. 1) Addressed. Applicant: `This area is accounted for in the H&H model.
Area is 7.43 acres and CN is 79.2 per amendment 2 of the plan.'
7. DA C (Berkmar Overlook development): 0.90 Ac., CN =65.8, Tc =6min. (Rev.
1) Addressed. Applicant: `This area is accounted for in the H&H model.'
iii. Notes:
1. Berkmar Overlook west of Berkman Drive employs on -site detention, detained
offsite Q peak more accurately models (HydroCAD) post-DEV Q peak rates.
(Rev. 1) Addressed. Applicant: `The Berkmar Overlook basin has been added
to the model.'
2. Berkmar Self -Storage should rely on post-DEV scenario anticipated by
WPO201800030 which proposes on -site detention with improvements at
ACSPCA. HydroCAD for ACSPCA (anticipated future development) and
Berkmar Overlook (existing development) should reflect detained off -site pre-
/post-DEV discharge rates when evaluating Berkmar Self -Storage storrnwater
quantity compliance. (Rev. 1) Addressed. Applicant: `The ACSPCA model has
been incorporated into the routing calculations for this plan.'
3. Analysis that may not consider detained release from off -site sources that
contribute runoff to ex. dry detention basin (Kegler's Pond) requires revision,
and may ultimately require Berkmar Self -Storage on -site detention similar to on -
site detention practices proposed at ACSPCA (design stage) Berkmar Overlook
(construction stage). (Rev. 1) Addressed. Applicant: `The model has been
revised.'
4. To the extent Berkmar Self -Storage relies on off -site dry detention (Keglers) for
water quantity compliance, Applicant should furnish notarized Agreement
between Berkmar and Keglers.

indicates that the existing detention basin cannot provide detention for Berkmar
Self -Storage without structural modification [Stormwater Narrative, sheet Cam.
(Rev. 1) Persists. Applicant: `Applicant will coordinate this item with the
County.' Note: Agreement is between Berkmar and Keglers, and not Berkmar
and Albemarle. (Rev. 2) Partially addressed. Applicant: `Applicant will
continue to coordinate the required agreements with adjacent landowner and the
County. It is our understanding the basin is currently maintained by the County
and it will continue to be maintained by the County long-term.' Engineering
confirms that the existing detention basin is a county -maintained facility, with
no expectation that Berkmar Self -Storage /Hotel maintain this ex. SWM facility
[Also, email to Applicant, March 3, 2023 11:45 AM, J. Anderson to Frank
Stoner /Campbell Bolton]. This project will undertake physical modifications
required for Applicant to rely on existing, County -maintained SWM facility.
Note: Applicant should continue to pursue Agreement with Kegler's of
Charlottesville (bowling alley, TMP 04500-00-00-112C0) to secure platted -
deeded public drainage easement across both development parcel and adjacent
Kegler's (bowling) parcel. Note: Platted deeded recorded easement required
prior to final site plan approval [see County email, March 3, 2023 10:29 AM], a
prerequisite to FSP approval.
iv. Lowes. 15.40 Ac., CN =92, Tc = undefined, route Lowe's storm runoff in pre- /post-
DEV with defined Tc. (Rev. 1) Addressed. Applicant: `The information used in the
model has been taken from the approved Lowe's plan.'
v. Keglers (bowling alley): 5.61 Ac., CN =84, Tc = undefined, route Kegler's in pre- /post-
DEV with defined Tc. (Rev. 1) Addressed. Applicant: `The plan did not disclose what
Tc they used. The site is mostly impervious utilizing mostly concrete pipe conveyance
resulting in a low Tc. A minimum Tc of 6.0 min was used for the most conservative
approach.'
vi. Please include Construction Record Drawing, Kegler's Pond (As -built) by Dominion
Engineering, dated 3/16/16 (approved 4/7/16=WPO20160001 I Rev. 1 comment date)
with Berkmar Self -Storage plans. Print /digital As -built available to Applicant. (Rev. 1)
Addressed. Applicant: `Since the survey is the most up-to-date it has been used for
current conditions of the pond and structures. Additionally, our survey had relevant
information of the riser and pipe size that was not included on the as -built plan. The
survey was completed by Roudabush Gale and Associates (previously Dominion
Engineering) earlier this year. We believe it is a more accurate depiction of the current
state of the pond.'
vii. If modification proposed to existing detention (ex. dry detention basin), please provide
plan /profile detail (small-scale) of both existing structure and any proposed change.
(Rev. 1) Addressed.
viii. Revise calculations, as needed, to reflect ex. detention basin As -built riser rim elev.
/invert out elev. /embankment elev. /ex pipe/s DIA, etc. (Rev. 1) Addressed. Applicant:
see response at item vi., immediately above.
ix. Rivanna Plaza drains to Ex. detention, revise calculations, as needed, to reflect pre- /post-
DEV flow from Rivanna Plaza. Note: See instrument / plat at DB-PG 3839-301,
1/13/2010 for easement/s established /vacated with WPO201100076 (Rivanna Plaza).
(Rev. 1) NA. Per TG research and discussion, Applicant response: `As discussed with
reviewer, Rivanna Plaza does not drain to the pond, although this area was included as
un-detained area in the original pond design.'
5. If on -site SWM is required, a recorded SWM facility /public drainage easement plat (with deeds) is
required for VSMP /WPO plan approval. (Rev. 1) Persists. Applicant: `Acknowledged, our intention is to
use the offsite detention pond.' (Rev. 2) May persist pending geotechnical evaluation of existing detention
basin embankment, which, depending on test results, may render existing facility unreliable for adequate
detention of additional storm runoff. In that event, a WPO plan Amendment to provide alternate on -site

detention is a possibility, however remote. Calculations to date indicate the existing detention facility
(which serves multiple developments) may be modified to accommodate compliant discharge from
proposed development [ Berkmar Self -Storage, see email March 3, 2023 10:13 AM to Applicant]. Results
of geological testing are requested /required prior to ESP approval, and as soon as possible. Applicant: `No
on -site SWM is proposed. However, the owner is currently working on preparing all required easement
plats and agreements needed to complete the work within the offsite basin.'
6. If on -site SWM required, please include Construction Record Drawings (As -built for VSMR on the plans,
as well as practice -specific SWM installation, periodic inspection /maintenance information on the plans.
(Rev. 1) Not addressed, unless overlooked. Please direct reviewer to location /sheet 4 of .PDF on plans.
(Rev. 2) Addressed. Applicant: `No onsite SWM is proposed. However, the .PDF has been added to sheet
C 1.1 and is referenced on sheet C6.3.' .PDF appears on sheet C 1.1.
7. C6.0, C6.1
a. Ref. comments elsewhere. Revise pre- /post-DA maps to define discrete contributing DAs with
more accurate CN /Tc values. (Rev. 1) Addressed.
8. Letter of nutrient credit availability (5.016.) must be included on the plans. (Rev. 1) Addressed,
9. New: Unless discharge at Str. 100 is to a manmade channel, EB applies at Str. 100. Please make provision
to extend manmade channel from Str. 100 to dry detention basin which straddles Kegler's and Lowe's
parcels. This plan does not meet EB requirements at Str. 100, but appears to meet EB at outfall of dry
detention basin. Between Str. 100 and the detention basin, please show compliance with state stormwater
channel protection requirements for storm runoff release to a manmade channel (riprap ditch), 9VAC25-
870-66.B_1. (Rev. 2) Addressed Sheet C3.4.
Additional COMMENTS from 12/15/2022 email:
• Greg Harper /Water Resources approval is paramount. WR maintains facility. (Rev. 2) In process: Water
resources comments conveyed to Applicant (two items) via email March 3, 2023 10:13 AM, with 1 item
sent February 16, 2023 2:55 PM.
• (photo A) Avoid replacing 18" DIA pipe, since this pipe is 12'-14' below grade.
The ex. extended detention basin is stable at pipe inlet, replacing 18" w/ 15" DIA will likely de -stabilize.
Can achieve same or better effect with Alt. design (riser w/floor at 18" inlet). (Rev. 2) Addressed.
Applicant: `The design has been updated in general accordance with what is described here.'
• (photo B) Alt. design: MH-sec. riser with low -flow /mid -flow orifice, or weir plate, with trash rack top, to
achieve energy balance /10-yr flood protection downstream of Ex. basin. (Rev. 2) Addressed. Applicant:
`The design has been updated in general accordance with what is described here.'
• Please report 100-yr WSE in ex. basin —if routing is overlooked in calc. packet, please direct me to it (.PDF
p. 4). (Rev. 2) Addressed. Applicant: `100-year WSE, 478.14', has been added to the plans and
calculations. The project causes a rise in the 100-year storm where two -feet of freeboard is no longer
available. The berm ahs been proposed to be raised to maintain two -feet of freeboard.'
• (photo C) Albemarle requests evaluation of slope embankment stability upslope of Playful Learners. SWM
detention basin has no overland relief. (Rev. 2) Partially addressed. Applicant: `A geotechnical evaluation
is being conducted and will be provided prior to approval, but is not included with this submittal.' As
follow-up: Not required for WPO plan approval but geotechnical evaluation is required prior to final site
plan (ESP) approval, as prerequisite to ESP approval —also, please see review item 5. above.
• (photo D) Facility currently does not stage, rather watershed runoff simply transits existing detention basin
(Kegler's) with marginal /no detention. (Rev. 2) Addressed. Applicant: `It was noted in follow-up
conversations the basin hasn't been observed during heavy rainfall so staging is really unknown.'
• Confirm design is based upon actual As -built field survey of Kegler's. (Rev. 2) Addressed. Applicant:
`Confirmed. Volumes used are based on as -built information.'
• (photo E) Provide riprap throughout existing incised channel/s, within basin. (Rev. 2) Addressed.
Applicant: `Riprap has been added to the channel as discussed.'
• (photo F) Preserve /protect slope, stone /bedrock in vicinity of 18" pipe inlet. (Rev. 2) Addressed.
Applicant: `Noted, design has been updated based on additional conversations.'

construction of the Self Storage facility.' As follow-up: Please label ST2, and show weir outfall
stone, C3.3 (Rev. 2) Addressed.
b. Recommend provide additional STl wet/dry storage capacity. (Rev. 1) Addressed. Applicant:
`The storage provided for STl is more than required by code. As mentioned above, if field
conditions dictate a change, we will work with the County ESC inspector to rectify the problem.'
Note: An incident release of sediment -laden site runoff will route thru ex. detention basin and may
affect ponds in residential areas downstream of the detention basin located E of U.S. Rt. 29
(Carrsbrook subdivision), a circumstance to avoid via design. One way is to increase volume of
temporary sediment traps.
c. Pipe 119 leaves MH Str. 104 at an acute angle. Revise pipe -to -ME design (90-deg, Min.). (Rev.

d. Provide double row SF or fence -backed ("super" silt fence) between sediment traps and Harvest
Moon (HG Land, LLC) to the south. (Rev. 1) Addressed.
e. Label sediment trap floor dimensions (L x W). (Rev. 1) Addressed.
3. Provide interim `Mass grade' ESC plan, a stage intermediate to Phase 1 and Phase 2 (between C3.2, C3.3).
Phase 1, C3.2, shows no grading, Phase 2, C3.3, shows complete build -out, and traps removed. Depict
ESC measures required to prevent off -site sediment transport as site is brought to grade, as improvements
are constructed. This may entail smaller traps, or traps in multiple locations. Also, a primary focus of
interim ESC measures is to avoid discharge of sediment -laden runoff to Harvest Moon or to ex. dry
