Reviewer: Michael Koslow
The second submittal of the ESC plan for Stonewater (WPO- 20 1 1 - 0008 8), received on 15 December
2011, has been reviewed. The following comments must be addressed to receive county approval.
A. General Review Comments
1. Please identify the date and source of topography. (Rev2) Comment has been addressed.
B. Erosion and Sediment Control Review Comments
1. Except for the eastern roadwork where updated survey information appears to take into
account the work already performed by the Treesdale contractor, these sheets match those
approved in WPO- 2010 - 00011. The only purpose for this submittal appears to be to
separate two projects, Treesdale and Stonewater, that were fused together for a short term
convenience one or two years ago.
The county has reviewed and approved previous plans with the assumption that these two
projects were to be developed in harmony. The previous application, WPO- 2010 -00011
contained all of the measures necessary to construct everything needed for both
developments. From October of 2010 til the date of this letter, work could have begun on
the Stonewater subdivision without any step other than the paper work necessary to link
Rio Road Holdings, LLC to the bond that had been posted by Treesdale.
With one project ready to convert the facility to a permanent stormwater BMP and one
project wanting to prolong the utilization of the basin, the county is in the middle of two
property owners that are now on different timelines. But because county engineering is
tasked with reducing overall construction times to as close to nine months as possible [17-
207.B.2], we cannot allow the use of this basin for ESC purposes by the Stonewater
Subdivision unless the Board of Supervisors grants approval of the extension to the
construction timeline. If the Board of Supervisors grants this approval, the maintenance
and bonding of this basin will need to be worked out at that time. However, it is
anticipated that the Treesdale development will be ready to convert the facility at that time
and demobilize so Rio Road Holdings, LLC will then be responsible for the conversion of
the facility. If the applicant chooses to modify the ESC plan for the Stonewater
development so the basin is not utilized, Treesdale will be free to convert the facility to the
extended detention facility, as designed, and a small SWM bond will be required of the
Stonewater development for repair of the BMP in the event damage to it occurs from
siltation. (Rev2) Engineering staff has yet to hear from the two property owners since

the meeting held at the county office building on the 15 'h of December. One solution
that was discussed was Rio Road Holdings, LLC taking over the full bonding and
responsibility of the basin. Our office recalls no other solution that was discussed in
depth. This comment still stands until a resolution between the two property owners is
achieved that also alleviates the county concerns detailed above.
2. Please move the limits of disturbance and the construction entrance out of the areas of the
site that are about to be completed by the Treesdale development. Traffic to /from
Treesdale must not travel through an active construction area. Please move the limits of
construction, including staging and parking areas, west of the soon -to -be completed roads.
(Rev2) Comment has been addressed.
3. Please update all county construction notes. The current set in this application is several
years old. (Rev2) Comment has been addressed.
4. Please identify how the sanitary sewer line is to be constructed across the stream. It will
be necessary for construction equipment to access the northside of the stream. This must
also be identified. Please also provide an approval letter from the Army Corps of
Engineers. (Rev2) Please provide an approval letter from the Army Corps of Engineers
for the sanitary sewer line crossing the stream. Please revise "Diversion Channel
Crossing" detail on sheet ESC -3 [VESCH Plate 3.25 -11 to show the "Flume Pipe
Crossing Detail" [VESCH Plate 3.25 -3] for the Utility Stream Crossing. 30 "pipe
corresponds with [VESH Table 3 -24A]; however this table assumes a drainage area
density less than the current watershed. Additional capacity is necessary. County
engineer calculations show that two 30" RCP pipes will provide more than adequate
capacity for a 2 year storm event.
5. Why doesn't the drainage area used for the sediment basin calculations match the
stormwater drainage area on Sheet SWM -1? I would expect the drainage areas to be the
same. (Rev2) The plan now calls for a dewatering orifice at an elevation different than
what was approved with the Treesdale application. If the contractor must adjust the
elevation of the dewatering orifice, please add to the note on sheets ESC -2 and ESC -3
in reference to the three 9" orifices directing the contractor to install an new orifice and
seal the previous one.
6. The construction sequence references sheet SWM -3 which has not been included in this
set. (Rev2) Comment has been addressed. Note #1 on sheet ESC -1 has been updated.
7. In the field, the three 9" orifices are currently opened. Is there enough dry storage to the
387.2 elevation for this to be the case or must these openings be sealed until conversion?
(Rev2) Comment has been addressed.
8. Please show and label the easement needed to construct the work shown on the
Stonehenge property. (Rev2) Comment has been addressed.
9. This work will need to be bonded by Rio Road Holdings, LLC. The bonding procedure
will be dependent on how the applicant wishes to address Comment B.1. (Rev2)
Comment has been acknowledged by the applicant.
10. (Rev2) Consider revising street names on General Note 8 on Sheet T -1.
C. Stormwater Management Review Comments
1. A fee was provided for the review a Stormwater Management Plan. But all sheets in this
set appear to be exactly those incorporated in WPO- 2010 - 00011. Since nothing was
modified, a review was not performed. Therefore, there is a $300 credit in this
application. Please let me know if you want this refunded now or want to save it for the
next ESC submittal. That SWM plan, WPO -2010- 00011, is still valid and may be used by
the Stonewater Development after successful stabilization. Please remove all SWM sheets

from this set to avoid confusion. (Rev2) Comment has been addressed.
2. The applicant must sign a Stormwater Management Facility Maintenance Agreement.
Please submit this completed agreement to Ana Kilmer with $17 recordation fee after
reviewing the instructions online. The agreement must refer to the original SWM
application, WPO- 20 10-00011. (Rev2) Comment open until acceptance of Stormwater
Management Facility Maintenance Agreement.
3. A portion of this work will need to be bonded by Rio Road Holdings, LLC. The bonding
procedure will be dependent on how the applicant wishes to address Comment B.1. As
mentioned in Comment B.1, a modest SWM bond will be held by the county if
construction of Stonewater development occurs after conversion of the enhanced,
extended detention facility. (Rev2) Comment open until Comment BI is addressed.
