Date of Comment: 7 April 2011
The Stormwater Plan Amendment for Pollak Vineyard, received on 4 March 2011. This plan was
submitted to replace a biofilter or water quality swale approved with WPO- 2007 -00038 with an infiltration
basin.
The plan meets all minimum requirements of Standard 3.10A of the Virginia Stormwater Management
Handbook and the applicant's consultant has certified that the facility is viable at this location. Therefore,
the plan is hereby approved. However, please be advised that the proposed Infiltration Basin is located in
the area that, according to the Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity Tests, received the lowest rates of
infiltration. County Engineering has concerns with the long term effectiveness of this facility. With time,
nearly all infiltration basins will see a reduction in infiltration rates due to the yearly sediment load. This
facility will be subject to annual inspection by the county SWM inspector. Should the Stormwater
Management Inspector see any inefficiencies with the facility in his annual inspection, a SWM amendment
may be necessary to resolve the issue.
Please provide an extra copy of the set. The SWM bond may need to be transferred to the new application
number. We will contact you after speaking with the Management Analysis next week as to how to handle
the bonding issue.
