The E &SC, SWM, and Final Site Plans for Whitewood Road Day Care Center have been reviewed. The
plans cannot be approved as submitted and will require the following changes /corrections prior to final
approval.
A. Final Site Plan Comments (SDP- 2012 - 00043)
1. Please provide a low maintenance, non -grass groundcover on the southside of the entrance off of
Oak Forest Drive where 2:1 slopes exist. [DM]
2. Please provide a guardrail above the retaining wall for the travelway on the adjacent property. [18-
32.7.2]
3. Please show the existing grade in the drainage profiles.
4. Please show the grading necessary to establish the proper sight distance on the adjacent property.
A vertical profile of this sight line is necessary to understand the grading limits. [18- 32.6.6]
B. Stormwater Management Plan Review Comments (WPO- 2012 - 00070)
1. This comment is only advisory. The applicant is proposing infiltration throughout the plan. The
use of infiltration on such a dense site is not prohibited by the county but there are inherent risks if
the soil is damaged during construction or choked after a few years. If this were to happen, it will
be the sole responsibility of the property owner to design and construct an alternative SWM Plan.
2. The primary underground infiltration facility is in close proximity to two sanitary sewer lines and
the foundation of the building. The construction of both of these things will result in gravel
backfill even closer to the infiltration facility. To prevent water escaping the infiltration trench and
avoiding treatment, please make sure there is at least loft of undisturbed soil between the outside
of the primary infiltration facility and the excavation for the sewer line and building foundation.
Please expand the typical cross - section detail on page C -5 to show the minimum distance to these
areas of excavation and backfill.
3. Chapter 3.10 of the VSMH requires that the bottom of the infiltration facility be greater than 2 -4
above the water table or a rock layer. The report provided to the county does not seem to
investigate this. An addendum to this report is necessary to get this confirmation.
4. Chapter 3.10 of the VSMH requires that permeability tests are needed every 50ft of an infiltration
test. The county will not require that many for the "exfiltration" trench, but at least three are
needed at the elevation of the bottom of the stone. (Please also see the following comment.)
5. Please relocate the exfiltration trench so that its edges are outside of the existing storm drain and
gas easements.
6. Please provide a profile of the exfiltration trench clearly showing the bottom elevations and pipe
inverts. The trench should be stationed in plan view to match the profile.
7. The sod proposed over the top of the infiltration trench will not allow infiltration into the facility
and most of the water from the drainage area will bypass. Please propose at least a lft wide stone
opening to allow overland flow to infiltrate into the gravel trench.
8. Many drainage areas on Sheet C -9 do not match the calculations. Please make the necessary
corrections.
9. Please specify the elevation of the roofdrain pipes into the detention elevation. The inverts must
be close to the top so there is infrequent flooding of the roofdrain pipes. Also, please clearly
indicate in the drainage area map that the roof, except for the northern entrance overhangs, must
drain to the detention facility.
10. Please show and specify a trash rack on the orifice in the detention facility that meets all of the
standards of VSMH 3.02.
11. Please show the RCP to CMP fittings that are needed off of the detention facility.
12. In the detention facility detail, please show that the pipe from behind the orifice plate must be built
at a particular angle, not perpendicular.
13. Two observation wells located out of the pavement are needed for the primary infiltration facility.
Three observation wells are needed in the exfiltration trench.
14. The calculations were very difficult to interpret by themselves. Please provide a Stormwater
Narrative that succinctly summarizes the SWM strategy, results of the routings, and implications
with regard to treatment, detention, and adequate channel concerns.
15. Please provide the infiltration calculations located on pages 14 and 15 of VSMH 3.10 for each
infiltration facility.
16. Please explain how no runoff from the 20ft buffer in the post - development scenario exists.
17. Please provide approval letters from the manufacturers of the fabricated stormwater facilities.
18. Please submit a completed Stormwater Facility Maintenance Agreement and $17 fee to Ana
Kilmer after reviewing the instructions online.
19. Once the plans are approved, please provide a completed Bond Estimate Request Form to the
County Engineer to receive a SWM bond computation. Cost estimates from each manufacturer
will be needed after approval of the SWM plan.
C. Erosion and Sediment Control Plan Review Comments (WPO- 2012 - 00070)
1. Please show all the grading necessary to establish sight distance at the entrance to onto Whitewood
Road.
2. Protection is insufficient after the sediment trap in Phase I is removed and Phase H is begun. The
accessway grading directs runoff out into the Oak Forest Drove without treatment. A sediment
trap is needed at the eastern boundary of the property to be utilized throughout Phase II. A curb
cut between the sidewalk ramp and inlet should be opened to drain to the sediment trap. A RWD
is needed at the entrance to direct runoff to this curb cut and sediment trap. The construction
sequence should state that trap 1 can only be removed once this new trap is constructed.
3. Please show the grading necessary to upgrade sediment trap 1 to the proposed design in Phase I.
4. Please show the rerouting of the sewer line in Phase I.
5. All inlets must be sealed until the site is stabilized so as not to clog the infiltration facility. Please
add notes throughout the plan to this effect.
6. Please include in the plan the paved wash rack detail from the design manual.
7. The applicant is attempting to reduce the volume and peak discharge in the post - development
scenario to pre - development levels so as to not deal with MS -19. This concept is acceptable, but
MS -19 approval cannot be given until the SWM plan is approved that conclusively shows that this
is the case.
8. Once the plans are approved, please provide a completed Bond Estimate Request Form to the
County Engineer to receive a ESC bond computation. All parcels disturbed with this plan must
sign this bond request form and be party to the bond unless easements that allow for the county to
enter the property to complete the work are recorded.
