A. Stormwater Management Plan (WP0201400040)
1. Fee /Application for SWM-
ESC Application discusses hydrologic calculations and drainage areas that minimize effects of runoff
anticipated to occur during 2- and 10 -yr design storms. It is misleading from a review standpoint to use
total site area = 28.54 Ac, which obscures effect of converting 0.41 Ac. of natural cover to gravel surface.
Please contact reviewer to discuss WPO (stormwater management review) prior to submitting fee, plans, or
supporting documentation. Pre - application discussion may limit need or extent of possible revisions.
Certain changes will be required under SWM review, and revision prior to initial SWM application
submission could save time.
(Rev. 1) — Comment addressed. SWM plan (sheets d. 6/5/14, and narrative report titled Cash Corner
Rawland, Monopole Construction, Verizon Wireless, CN# 3036.213, dated June 5, 2014) is approved in
accord with provisions of Albemarle County Code, Sec. 17 -313, Non - structural methods (A.B.), and Sec.
17 -314, Control of peak rate and velocity of runoff, excerpts below:

See. 17 -313 Inn- structural measures.
Non - structural measures may be used in conjunction with or in place of structural measures in
order to satisfy the requirements of this article, as provided herein:
A. The program authority may allow non - structural measures to satisfy, partially or in
whole, the requirements of this article, if such measun!s are identified in accepted technical literature, are
acceptable to the program authority based on its exercise of sound professional judgment, and the program
authority finds that the measures achieve equivalent benefit for water quantity and/or quality protection as
would otherwise be provided by structural measures.
B- Non- stmenrral measures include, but are not limited to, minimization of impervious
surfaces, stream buffer reforestation, providing additional stream buffer arras, wetland restoration, waste
reuse and recycling. and development design that reduces the rate and volume of runoff.
(§ 19.3 -37, 2.11 -98; 19.1 -6. 9- 29 -77, art_ 11, 3, 7 -11-90; Code 1988. §§ 19.1 -8, 19.3 -37; Ord. 96 -A(1),

B. Erosion Control Plan (WPO201400040)
1. Erosion and Sediment Control Plan Narrative, a 12 -p supporting document with Appendix should be
numbered. Transfer Erosion and Sediment Control VESCH details, instructions, or measures to the plans.
Unless ESC information is included on plan sheets, there is little chance it will be noticed or enacted during
construction. (Rev. 1) Comment addressed.
2. Remove or re -title sheet C -4, titled Enlarged Site Plan. Site Plans cannot be approved as part of WPO
Application (Also, sect. D., item 1, below). (Rev. 1) Comment addressed. Plan set labeled WPO
Application/ For Erosion and Sediment Control Plan/Stormwater Management Plan Approval Only.
Applicant acknowledges that approval by the County of the "For ESC Approval" version does not
constitute Site Plan approval.
3. E &S Legend, Sheet C -4A, includes culvert inlet protection (IP) and outlet protection (OP). Please show IP
and OP for new 15" entrance pipe located at intersection of access drive and Lindsay Road (sheet C -413, or
C -4D). (Rev. 1) Comment addressed.
4. Sheet C -4G, Note 8: "Perform site clearing to the limits shown on the plans." Limits of disturbance are not
shown; please show LOD on plans. (Rev. 1) Comment addressed. Legend sheet C -4A.

5. Identify off -site disposal areas. Identify construction staging area. Identify stockpile locations. (Rev. 1)
Comment addressed.
6. Show tree protection (TP) for 14" OAK, sheet C -4C, if tree is to be saved (tree shown near Alan B. Howard
deed book information). (Rev. 1) Comment addressed.
7. Page 11 of the ESC Plan Narrative states that "Topsoil will be used to help provide a suitable growth
medium for vegetation." Please identify topsoil locations, with specific details. Page 11 also states
"Sediment shall be removed and the impoundment restored to its original dimensions when sediment has
accumulated to one -half the design depth." This statement appears to relate to a sediment trap or basin not
shown on plans. Please clarify. (Rev. 1) Comment addressed.
8. Page 8 of the ESC Plan Narrative states that "During construction, the contractor will divert runoff around
disturbed areas to reduce the amount of stormwater which could come into contact with exposed soils. One
method of creating a diversion is by installing temporary dike /swales within the area of work." Please
identify diversion dikes in plan view that correspond with stated plan to divert runoff during construction.
Diverted runoff must release to a sediment trap or basin. (Rev. 1) Comment addressed.
9. Plan views show an 11' -12' wide driveway. Narrative describes a 20 -ft driveway. Please clarify (show
access drive 20 -ft wide, or revise narrative) (Rev. 1) Comment addressed.
10. Remove sheets C -5, A -1, but include typical access road cross section elsewhere. (Rev. 1) Comment
addressed. Sheets remain in plan set labeled WPO Application/ For Erosion and Sediment Control
Plan/Stormwater Management Plan Approval Only. Applicant acknowledges that approval by the County
of the "For ESC Approval" version does not constitute Site Plan approval.
The erosion and sediment control plan is approved. This plan will need to be bonded, and a pre - constructionconference
held with county staff prior to issuance of a grading permit. All site plan and other approvals will need to be
obtained prior to bonding. As of July 1 st, the owner will need to have obtained a General Construction Permit
from the state prior to the grading permit being issued.
