Erosion Control Plan (WP0201300032)
I have picked up this review from Michelle Roberge, who is on maternity leave. Most of the comments
appear to have reached an acceptable resolution, and the erosion and sediment control plan can be
approved. I have two reservations.
One reservation is the details surrounding SB -1, the existing basin in Fontana. There are computations for
structures as if this were a new basin, when it already exists, and it is not clear if the existing structures are
being replaced. The drainage area on the plan also appears incorrect, significantly. I know we have
discussed this in meetings, and you have indicated that field conditions bear this out, but the plans are
contradictory.
The other reservation is stormwater management. As you have noted in your response letter to the last
review, many of the comments refer to revisions to come later with a stormwater management plan. It is
noted in the responses that this plan is meant to be an early grading plan. It would appear the stormwater
management component may be necessary for the VSMP.
As of July I", the county no longer has the authority to approve these types of plans independently. The
county must adhere to the requirements of the state program. A VSMP application must be made. In
addition to the erosion and sediment control plan, you will need to provide a stormwater management plan
and a pollution prevention plan as part of your SWPPP. Fred Cunningham of DEQ indicates that this
project applied for a 2014 VSMP permit. You will need to provide the DEQ coverage letter with your
SWPPP. If you have a permit issued from DEQ already, and have paid your fee to the state, you will not
need to pay this fee to the county.
