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 existing topography does not appear to accurately depict the site conditions. a. The basin next to the bridge appears to have been destroyed several years ago and mud is Engineering Review Comments Page 2 of 3 flowing into the stream via the eroded channel through the basin. (Page 2 of 4) b. There is a wide walking trail that has been graded into the top of bank that traps water and has collected lots of trash and debris. The trail is also a vehicle access path, may be sanitary sewer access /maintenance road. (Page 3 of 4) c. The existing pipe under the path is shown in the wrong location. (page 3 of 4) d. Lots of erosion is present on the County side of the project, especially around the existing pipe labeled "to be abandoned in place ". (page 3 of 4) i. The pipe is hanging many feet out of the stream bank erosion and should be removed before it falls into the creek. ii. The pipe will need to be filled with flowable fill material, or crushed to prevent future problems if it is to be left in place. 2. Please clarify what is existing and what is proposed with this project. The plan appears to show a mixture of both with no clear distinction between them. 3. Please show stream access points on the plan. How will the contractor access the stream bed? The stream bank is so incised that roads may need to be cut down to the stream for access. 4. Please show the limits of work area the contractor is to work within. The Limits of Disturbance should encompass the entire area needed to complete this project. 5. Please label the 100' stream buffer limits. 6. Please include a maintenance narrative and schedule on plan, including a completion date. 7. Please list the acreages for each area and total proposed disturbance. State requires the localities to report total annual acres of disturbances for each locality. 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 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. Engineering Review Comments Page 3 of 3 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.
