Certified Engineer's Report Compliance Review
Zoning Ordinance section 18 -4.14
Project: Riogin, CLE2013 -00136
Report Revision Date: 13 June 2013, emailed 6/27/2013
Certifying Engineer (required): Michael Koslow
Reviewing Engineer:
Overall Level of (Level of Compliance
Compliance B corresponds to the lowest
score on any standard)
Comments:
Recommend periodic checks of the facility (quarterly) to ensure compliance with air and water
pollution ordinances.
Key to Grades:
A. Full Compliance: The use does not generate discharge, noise, vibration, etc. Or, the physical
conditions (distance, barriers) assure compliance with the standards indefinitely. Approval is
recommended.
B. Monitored Compliance: This use has the potential to exceed the standards. Preventive and
mitigating measures are proposed which will achieve compliance but require maintenance, such
as fences, shields, vegetation, drains, recycling, oil separators, filters, mufflers, etc. Approval is
recommended with conditions for maintenance and periodic inspection or reporting. Compliance
is likely, with occasional instances of non - compliance.
C. Tentative Compliance: This use has the potential to exceed the standards. Only operational
methods are proposed to address concerns, such as limited hours of business, working inside
only, keeping gates operational, machines turned off, uses on a particular corner of the site, etc.
In other words, compliance is based on a promise of good behavior. Careful consideration is
recommended as this may place a policing burden on the neighbors and County staff. Strict
conditions should be placed on any approvals if possible. Compliance is possible, but instances
of non - compliance will likely occur.
D. Non - compliance: It is likely that the standards will be exceeded. This is not recommended for
approval.
E. Not enough information: The report was insufficient, and it should be completed or revised.

Charlottesville, VA 22901
Charlottesville, June 13, 2013.
To : Community Development Department
Division of Zoning and Current Development
401 McIntire Road
Charlottesville, VA 22902
To the County Engineer,
RioGin Corporation is a small biotech company. Our new laboratory will be located at 1670 Discovery
Drive, Charlottesville, VA. We are three employees and the company and our-focus is in improving
harmacokinetic roperties of peptide drugs without impacting thei iiarmacodynamy• r their side
effect profile. To reach our goal to develop better peptide drugs we will, on site, chemically synthesize
some peptides ( using very mild chemical and safe reaction), and once synthesized, the compound will
be send to outside CRO to b assaye . It is my understanding that�in order to occupy this space we will
need to submit this Letter or Performance Standards along with our zoning clearance application.
We have addressed the standards referenced in Section 4.14 and provided the following responses:
Noise:
Our operation will not create sound or impact noise level in excess of the value specified in Section
4.14.1. Our major source of noise will be:
• 1 or 2 vacuum pumps running that will be run for few minutes at the time several time
per day (probably for a total duration inferior to 15 minutes) .
• Music,and telephone.
Vibration:
Equipment operated in our laboratory does not produce any detectable vibration.
Glare:
Our operation is completely contained within the building. The interior lighting associated with this
operation does not produce glare that is visible beyond the lot line.
Air Pollution:
There will be no emission of smoke, odor or gaseous pollutant. Chemical reaction used to synthesized
our peptide drug will be carried out in chemical fume hood to ensure that no odor or vapor escape in
the air. This is a typical chemistry setting and does not represent a hazard to air quality.
Water Pollution:
The liquid chemical waste produced by this operation will be handled by UVA environmental health and
safety department. UVA EHS group will probabl r�dispose this waste off site using their expertise and
their best practices. Our operation does not represent a hazard to water quality.
Radioactivity:
RioGin's operation does not require handling of radioactive material. Therefore there will be no
radioactive emissions.
Electrical Interference:
My operation does not require any equipment that would generate electrical disturbance. '
Please feel free to call me with any further question you may have.
Sincerely,
Dr Cyrille Gineste
