County Code section 17 -410 and Virginia Code §62.1- 44.15:34 requires the VSMP authority to
act on any VSMP permit by issuing a project approval or denial. This project is approved.
A. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan ( SWPPP)
The SWPPP content requirements can be found in County Code section 17 -405. A SWPPP must
contain (1) a PPP, (2) an ESOP, (3) a SWMP, and (4) any TMDL measures necessary. The
SWPPP is approved. Please ensure the proper public posting, inspections and documentation on-
site.
B. Pollution Prevention Plan (PPP)
The PPP content requirements can be found in County Code section 17 -404. The PPP is approved.
C. Erosion and Sediment Control (WP0201300079)
Virginia Code §62.1- 44.15:55 requires the VESCP authority to approve or disapprove an ESCP.
This plan is approved along with the variance request for the "variable sediment collection area ".
D. Stormwater Management Plan (WP0201300079)
VSMP Regulation 9VAC25- 870 -108 requires the VSMP authority to approve or disapprove a
SWMP. The stormwater management plan is approved. (Before the actual construction takes
place, it is recommended that you reconsider your choice to infiltrate into a fill area.)
Engineering plan review staff are available from 2 -4 PM on Thursdays, should you require a meeting to
discuss this review.

Process;
After approval, plans will need to be bonded. The bonding process is begun by submitting a bond estimate
request form and fee to the Department of Community Development. One of the plan reviewers will
prepare estimates and check parcel and easement information based on the approved plans. The County's
Management Analyst will prepare bond agreement forms, which will need to be completed by the owner
and submitted along with cash, certificates or sureties for the amounts specified. The agreements will need
to be approved and signed by the County Attorney and County Engineer. This may take 2 -4 weeks to
obtain all the correct signatures and forms.
Stormwater Management Facilities Maintenance agreements will also need to be completed and recorded.
The County's Management Analyst or other staff will prepare the forms and check for ownership and
signature information. The completed forms will need to be submitted along with court recording fees.
After bonding and agreements are complete, county staff will need to enter project information in a DEQ
database for state application processing. DEQ will review the application information based on local
VSMP authority approval. At this time, the DEQ portion of the application fees will need to be paid
directly to the state. For fastest processing, this is done electronically with the emails provided on the
application. DEQ should notify applicants with instructions on how to pay fees. When DEQ approves the
application, they will issue a permit coverage letter. This should be copied to the county.
After DEQ coverage is issued, via the coverage letter, the County can hold a pre - construction conference.
Applicants will need to complete the request for a pre - construction conference form, and pay the remainder
of the application fee. The form identifies the contractor and responsible land disturber, and the fee
remaining to be paid. This will be checked by county staff, and upon approval, a pre - construction
conference will be scheduled with the County inspector. At the pre- construction conference, should
everything proceed satisfactorily, a joint VSMP and grading permit will be issued by the County so that
work may begin.

1. Rev.2: A PPP was not received.
C. Erosion and Sediment Control (WP0201300079)
Virginia Code §62.1- 44.15:55 requires the VESCP authority to approve or disapprove an ESCP.
This plan is disapproved, and the reasons are provided in the comments below. The erosion control
plan content requirements can be found in County Code section 17 -402.
1. The large black lines on all the sheets obscure the plan details and lines for control measures. I find
this plan almost illegible because of this. Please correct.
Rev.2: addressed.
2. It is not clear what is being constructed with this plan. All the road improvements are shown as
complete. Therefore, this plan could not be permitted until after the road is constructed.
Rev.2: Please show what is being constructed with this plan. Many sheets do not appear to show any
measures for this phase, but appear to show measures and notes from the phase 1 plan. It is unclear
Engineering Review Comments
Page 2 of 5
which is which. The notes refer to fill, retaining walls, and the roadwork, which is not shown on this
plan. It appears a phase 2b is needed which shows how the diversions and traps work with the
retaining walls and fill, which are mentioned in notes.
3. Provide sediment trapping measures. Fencing is not sufficient.
Rev.2: There appears to be only one trap designed for this phase, ST -5. Please show the drainage area
to this trap. The other devices also need to be designed and variances requested where necessary. A
variance is necessary for the "mud trap ". The "variable sediment collection area" devices also require
variances and design. It is unclear how volumes and outfall will be maintained in these devices.
4. Provide protection for wall construction. There is not enough protection for Moores Creek and the
wall construction.
Rev.2: Please include the walls and fill in some stage on this drawing so that we can tell if protection
measures are provided.
5. SSF and double X lines are not state approved symbols or standards, and this plan has no variances.
Rev.2: addressed
6. Fencing is shown over rip -rap and concentrated discharges, which is not acceptable.
Rev.2: Silt fence is now also shown over outfall pipes. This is the preferred location.
7. Clarify how this plan fits in with other erosion and sediment control plans, mitigation plans, and
stormwater plans.
Rev.2: no change
8. Adequate channels narrative on sheet 7 is referencing an out -of -date design manual. We must follow
"9VAC25- 870 -66 Water quantity ".
Rev.2: This reference is now in the booklet and narrative, which must be corrected.
D. Stormwater Management Plan (WPO201300079)
VSMP Regulation 9VAC25- 870 -108 requires the VSMP authority to approve or disapprove a
SWMP. This plan is disapproved, and the reasons are provided in the comments below. The
stormwater management plan content requirements can be found in County Code section 17 -403.
Original comments, given on the abbreviated review form. Revised comments are preceded by "Rev. 1: "
1. There is not enough detention storage for on -site areas.
Rev. 1: This was not checked with this revision.
Rev.2: The vault systems need more details to verify volumes, ensure maintenance, and inlet and outlet
details.
a. Provide dimensions for spaces between pipes and on the sides which are used for storage in
stone.
b. Provide dimensions for the two header pipes.
c. Show all pipes leading into and out of the facility in the details to match plan views. For
example, Vault A shows a 48" CMP in section B 1 -B2, but this does not appear in the plan
view. The plan views shows two 15 ", a 36 ", a 30" and an unknown from STM A7.
d. Provide drawdown computations for the under -drain outlets. Correct the direction of flow on
the plans for Vault A.
e. Provide a configuration which allows unclogging the orifices without being submerged. If the
12'718'78'76" pipe inlets leading out of the vaults become clogged, there is no way to get to
them.
f. If the intent is to provide the stub -out for a future connection to Vaults B, show size and
location.
2. System A +B areas should assume forested conditions prior to development. The previous
clearing was an unfinished project.
Engineering Review Comments
Page 3 of 5
Rev. 1: The BMP computations are still unresolved. It is safe to say the removal rate is above
75% for each on -site drainage area. The 47 acres on the computation provided was not found
on a drainage area map. The on -site areas and treatment appears to be for three or four
separate drainage areas and discharges that do not add up to this. A removal rate could be
provided for each discharge point, and each facility result compared to the targets. This might
indicate that future development on Avon may need its own site treatment in future. Areas
like floodplains and buffers, which are not developed, are not part of the project disturbed or
developed area, and should not be included in treatment area computations.
Rev.2: Not addressed. Please correct computations per the type IIC criteria. I will try to give some
specifics;
a. Section 2 of the report is using an area of 71.41 acres, but this is not found on any drainage
area map.
b. The report determines pollutant loads to be 167.71 lbs /yr, but there are no details on how this
is computed, or what it is compared to.
c. The BMP's -in -series sheets contain drainage areas for each BMP, but there is no plan sheet
which shows these devices or their drainage areas, or any details or sizing for that matter.
d. Areas like floodplains and buffers, which are not developed, are not part of the project
disturbed or developed area, and should not be included in treatment area computations, pre or
post. Sheets 9 and 10 are showing areas which encompass Moores Creek, land across Moores
Creek, untouched hillsides above the development, etc.
e. The computations claim removal rates of 35% for extended detention basins. I am doubtful
that this number will be achieved. I find nothing in specification 3.07 that suggests that a
facility deep underground was the intent of this BMP, which suggests to me that the removal
rate attributed is from studies of above ground facilties with the pools and vegetated buffers
specified. I am hopeful that the surface sand filters and filterras will sufficiently cover
treatment, so this does not become an issue.
f. The vault systems still appear to be set up like infiltration trenches combined with detention in
the pipes. The details still specify perforated pipes and an open stone layer. This is
problematic, as it may destabilize the fill under the parking areas, and the retaining wall which
holds it all up.
g. The filterra summary table and sand filter summary table contain only results. There are no
plans, details or maps to explain any of the numbers or labels.
h. The county spreadsheet is no longer valid, as it is not per the required state type IIC criteria.
3. All facilities, incl. level spreader, need maintenance access
Rev. 1: not addressed.
Rev.2: Not addressed completely. There were no details for the sand filters or stilling basins. Access
to these is not shown.
4. These are non - standard sand filters. Use state approved standards, or provide DEQ approval
for these systems at the desired removal efficiency. Demonstrate WQV is captured in filters.
Demonstrate extended detention will not inundate filters. There is currently no way to replace
for rust, or easily inspect or clean, or replace media. Design for these and provide structural
certifications.
Rev. 1: The sand filters are not a state standard. The DC Sand Filter referenced (VSMH 3) is
limited to 1.25 acres. For larger areas you would need to use a different, separate vault placed
in the drainage system closer to the inlets where drainage areas to each vault could be limited
to 1.25 acres. That said, if you can produce a copy of approval from DEQ for this system, we
would proceed with that approval, and review the details of the system setup.
Rev.2: Partially addressed. Standard sand filters and filterras are now used, but they are not on plans
Engineering Review Comments
Page 4 of 5
but for incidental placement in the drainage area maps and vault details. Please provide details and
plans for all facilities, including specific drainage areas.
5. The in- stream flow splitter is a clogging problem and the pond may be below the water table.
I just don't see this as approvable at all. Per the zoning, build a in -line pond upstream of the
culvert and pay the Army Corps fees necessary for disturbance, or request a variance /ZMA.
Rev. 1: This has been addressed by removal of this system.
6. Provide DEQ approval for the landfill pond.
Rev. 1: not addressed.
Rev.2: not addressed.
7. Provide scaled sections and profiles through facilities. Manufacturer's generic drawings are
not adequate.
Rev. 1: Scaled drawings have been provided. If the filter can be approved by DEQ, some
details in need of addressing;
a. The end pipes appear to allow bypass of the filters
b. Filling the bmp manhole with stone prevents maintenance access to outlets.
c. There is no practical way of cleaning these giant vaults. It appears an Austin surface
filter is more appropriate for this size, allowing machine access for maintenance.
d. Groundwater data is required before approval. A wet sand filter may become
anaerobic. Even if groundwater can be lowered, it is not clear a filter this size
underground will ever dry out sufficiently to be effective.
e. Credit cannot be given for water quality in extended detention if it follows the filters.
Extended detention with no biological component is simply a settling chamber, and
this has likely already occurred sufficiently in the prior treatment. Place any
detention before the filters.
Rev.2: Continue the profiles on sheets 1313, 14B and 15B through the systems, showing
existing and proposed grades, and pipes in and out.
8. The plans are too big for storage in county files. Please separate all the computations into a
sealed package. Clarify all storage volumes used and assumptions and sizing, and outlet
structures, after revised hydrology per above. There were not enough plan details to verify
computations for structure
Rev. 1: partially addressed. There are still narratives and computations in the plan sheets.
Rev.2: addressed.
The VSMP permit application and all plans may be resubmitted for approval when all comments have
been satisfactorily addressed. For re- submittals please provide 2 copies of the complete permit package
with a completed application form.
Engineering plan review staff are available from 2 -4 PM on Thursdays, should you require a meeting to
discuss this review.
Process;
After approval, plans will need to be bonded. The bonding process is begun by submitting a bond estimate
request form and fee to the Department of Community Development. One of the plan reviewers will
prepare estimates and check parcel and easement information based on the approved plans. The County's

Stormwater Management Facilities Maintenance agreements will also need to be completed and recorded.
The County's Management Analyst or other staff will prepare the forms and check for ownership and

c. There is no practical way of cleaning these giant vaults. It appears an Austin surface
filter is more appropriate for this size, allowing machine access for maintenance.
d. Groundwater data is required before approval. A wet sand filter may become
anaerobic. Even if groundwater can be lowered, it is not clear a filter this size
underground will ever dry out sufficiently to be effective.
e. Credit cannot be given for water quality in extended detention if it follows the filters.
Extended detention with no biological component is simply a settling chamber, and

this has likely already occurred sufficiently in the prior treatment. Place any
detention before the filters.
8. The plans are too big for storage in county files. Please separate all the computations into a
sealed package. Clarify all storage volumes used and assumptions and sizing, and outlet
structures, after revised hydrology per above. There were not enough plan details to verify
computations for structure
Rev. 1: partially addressed. There are still narratives and computations in the plan sheets.

This is an abbreviated review comment notice. County engineering staff is available every Thursday
afternoon to discuss details of review. To schedule, please call your reviewer for an appointment.
Erosion & Sediment Control: Adequate
(Code Chapter 17, Article II) x Not Adequate
Y N
State standards followed, and Design Standards Manual notes and details
Adequate limits and perimeter measures out of work areas (stream areas
must be protected below walls. Not clear how this happens.)
All stages protected adequately (SF not adequate as a sole protection)
Adequate channels (not found in plan package)
- This plan shows only limits and fence. There do not appear to be any
sediment trapping measures shown.
- There is not enough protection for Moores Creek and the wall
construction
J I I - Does not match swm plan.
Stormwater Management: Adequate
(Code Chapter 17, Article III)
X Not Adequate
ON
Enough capture and treatment for on -site areas
Enough detention storage for on -site areas
Sealed hydrologic and hydraulic computations provided
- System A +B areas should assume forested conditions prior to
development. The previous clearing was an unfinished project.
- All facilities, incl. level spreader, need maintenance access
- These are non - standard sand filters. Use state approved standards, or
provide DEQ approval for these systems at the desired removal
effeciency. Demonstrate WQV is captured in filters. Demonstrate
extended detention will not inundate filters. There is currently no way
to replace for rust, or easily inspect or clean, or replace media.
Design for these and provide structural certifications.
- The in- stream flow splitter is a clogging problem and the pond may be
below the water table. I just don't see this as approvable at all. Per
the zoning, build a in -line pond upstream of the culvert and pay the
Army Corps fees necessary for disturbance, or request a
variance/ZMA.
Provide DEQ approval for the landfill pond.
- Provide scaled sections and profiles through facilities.

Mitigation: Adequate
(Code Chapter 17, Article III)
x Not Adequate
Y N
• Buffers and disturbed areas adequately shown
• Adequate plantings at 2:1, or other mitigation provided
-A mitigation plan is required for all buffer disturbances. A plan has not
been received.
This review attempts to encompass the larger compliance questions. County staff does not assume
responsibility for any calculation or plan details, and cannot cover the intricacies of every plan submitted.
Each plan and calculation must have a professional seal and signature to assume these responsibilities.
This plan is

Approved (please see attached Approval Fact Sheet)
x
Not Approved
WPO approval will be dependent on approval of all other plans for this site; site plan, road plan,
phase I erosion and sediment control, etc.
