Regional and Central Office DEQ staff have been reviewing options for the oversight of the E &S
and Stormwater activities associated with this project. Based on this review,, wehave made the
following observations:
•
'l lie law provides that DEQ may review multijurisdictional plans; however, DEQ ip
declining to review this plan because the City of Charlottesville and the County of
Albemarle_ have. demonstrated the technical expertise to handle projects of this type.
• Both the City of Charlottesville and.Albemarle County are MS4s and are required to
operate stormwater. and erosion & sediment control programs.
• Based on '§ 62.1- 44.15:55.B and the review of the information we have been provided, by
operation of law the project is approved -and can proceed.
• DEQ recommends that the project engineer respond to the comments provided by the
:City of Charlottesville and transmitted to DEQ on.August 23, 201.1. (attached)
o In addition to the requirement -to develop and implement an approved erosion and
ediment control. plan for the site, you should also begin the process of applying:for
.coverage under the Virginia Stormwater.Management General Permit.
In orderto better serve the, development community and :our local partners, DEQ will be
developing procedures .for the.review and approval of future projects where complex
multijurisdictional issues require. agency expertise.
