Stephanie,
This rarely happens in this way, with one revision, or this quickly —in fact, it hasn't. The SWPPP, WPO plan and calc.
packet are each approved; comments addressed. WPO plan is approved.
Quick question: Would it help to list you or Justin as a secondary DEQ POC email, so you will be alert to DEQ request
for payment of state permit fee? Glad to list either of you, if helpful.
I will get things in order —CV, link to approved plan, and send formal WPO plan approval. The plan is approved, as of
this writing.
Note: DEQ must issue VAR10 coverage letter, WPO bond must post, and credit purchase be approved to receive a
Grading Permit.
( It is not too soon to request preconstruction. )
Link to preconstruction meeting request form ; link to digital payment portal
Please identify payment ($700.96) is for: WPO202200017, 664 West Rio (Tree removal); pre -construction; CDD
Send pre -con request and receipt of $700.96 payment to Carla Harris, charris@albemarle.org.
I will work with Carla to get the project registered with DEQ.
We will try to register /save data, tomorrow: VAR10 state permit.
We can save but not submit data to DEQ SWCGP database, but will submit once WPO plan bond posts. Once data is
submitted, DEQ request for payment is automatic, within minutes. Once payment is made, DEQ typically issues a
coverage letter in 1-2 days.
For the moment, please know how much I appreciate your attention to detail —it is flawless. Additional note to follow, but
for now, thank you! Very well done.
Take care, have a nice evening —best, J. Anderson

Hi, Stephanie
Review comments:
1.Need SWPPP — pls. pay particular attention to signatures, Sec. 6.E., Sec. 8, Sec. 9, and Sec. 1 Registration
Statement
Pls. leave Sec. 4, 5 blank. Engineering will append stamped approved plan at Sec. 13; pls. use SWPPP template at this
link.
Also, need PPP Exhibit (6A.), detailing usual: solid waste dumpster, fueling (likely NA), rain gauge, portable sanitary,
PCE.
2.C6:
a.EB compliance table, top left: revise I OP LTC to 1.48 Ac.
b. Revise this text block, by adding parenthetical: (Calculation packet for subsequent development;
Amendment to tree removal)
NOTE: REFER TO CALCULATION PACKET TITLED
"WPO 2022-00017 664 WEST RIO - VSMP PLAN SWM

[Note: Albemarle does NOT request mulch import, but rather chipping of trees felled: tops,
branches, etc.]
b. Insufficient Notes for Tree Removal —Assumption must be future development is abandoned /may not
proceed.
Place these notes, edited by, coordinated with, County Engineer for Alb. county project
WPO202300009 on C4.
Place Notes 1-13, verbatim. Yet there is no guarantee that cutting as late as 9:OOPM complies with
ordinance.
Tree cutting must comply with ordinance. Please exercise judgment with plan notes, labels, symbols,
etc.
(Biscuit Run project is a remote location; 664 West Rio is not.)

Hi, Stephanie,
There are additional items if project is to receive a Grading Permit with any time to remove trees prior
to NLEB TOYR, Mar-31:
1. Revised plan, WPO202200017 that shows ESC measures, but also incl. SWM calcs. (item
4./Note). Is this plan ready for review?
2. If tree removal only plan is ready, please send link to me. I will review tomorrow, if possible.
3. I hope to check bond estimate (.xls) sent with note, below, tomorrow /this evening, if possible.
4. Tree removal only requires water quality /phosphorus reduction —what is phosphorus reduction
requirement? Provide re-dev VRRM.xls post-dev land cover table, with plan.
Note: Justin has links to approved `tree removal only' plans; please see approved `tree removal'
plans for level of SWM calc. detail required.
Provide VRRM.xls (water quality); re-dev .XLS
Provide water quantity narrative (see approved plans)
5. Whatever the phosphorus reduction requirement, nutrient credits must be
purchased rip or to receiving a Grading Permit for tree removal.
For example, using VRMM.xls re -development spreadsheet: 4.02 Ac. (pre-dev) forest, 4.02 Ac.
(post-dev) managed turf, B soils, phosphorus reduction =0.19 lb.
6. Nutrient credits must be purchased from Ivy Creek nutrient bank, only, since project discharges
to South Fork Rivanna River X-trib, an impaired stream. See below.
7. Note: Processes must run in parallel:
a. Nutrient credit purchase, whatever the value, from Ivy Creek bank ( Note: Ana Kilmer
needs to review draft bill of sale /Affidavit prior to purchase. )
b. Reach out to Ana, akilmer(c�f�,albemarle.org ; reach out to Jon Roller, EcoSystem
Services LLC (Ivy Creek Nutrient bank)
Jon Roller
Ecosystem Services, LLC

c. Bond estimate request fee payment: submit via digital payment portal, $294.32 fee;
identify payment is for: WPO202200017 64 W. Rio Rd. -bond estimate fee.
d. WPO plan /tree removal bond, once Engineering checks SE estimate, pls. work with
Ana to post bond. WPO bond must be posted to receive a Grading Permit.
e. Provide owner signature information ( Ana will request, to post bond).
f. Ensure SWPPP complete, incl. Sec. 6.E., 8, and especially Sec. 1, Registration
Statement, esp. Construction Activity Operator ;this is to register for a VAR10 permit.
g. VAR10 coverage letter (DEQ) is required prior to receiving Grading
Permit. Engineering coordinates, once tree removal plan approved, bond posted,
SWPPP complete.
h. Submit `tree removal' only VSMP plan. asap. Include Tree Removal in plan
title. Later, the tree removal plan will be Amended for proposed 664 W. Rio
improvements.

Many steps remain.
Time is of the essence if project is to have any appreciable time prior to 31-Mar to remove
trees. Please call if any questions.

HiJohn-
I wanted to let you know that I submitted the WPO202200017 - 664 West Rio for the Tree Clearing
work only. I've also had filled and paid the request to establish a bond for E&S and I'm attaching the
excel sheet for it. Let me know if you need anything from us to get this approved.
P.S. It seems that the VSMP application didn't go through in the online submission, so I'm attaching it
in this email.
Thank you,
Stephanie
