A SWPPP must contain (1) a PPP, (2) an ESCP, (3) a SWMP, and (4) any TMDL measures necessary. 1. A SWPPP plan is required by the State of Virginia for VSMP approval. Please utilize the Albemarle County Template for expedient review/approval. http://www.albemarle.org/upload/images/forms_center/departments/Community Development/forms/ Engineering and _WPO _Forms/Stormwater_Pollution _Prevention _ Plan_ SWPPP_template.pdf B. Pollution Prevention Plan (PPP) The PPP content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-404. 1. A PPP plan is required for State of Virginia VSMP plan approval.

Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) 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. 1. The existing Fire and safety access road must be maintained at all times. The water protection measures appear to remove the required emergency access to Dunlora 3A. Please clarify how this requirement will be maintained. 2. The site has currently been developed as a single family residence. Please use the VRRM Redevelopment Spread Sheet. Engineering Review Comments Page 2 of 3 3. The proposed stormwater system could not be reviewed at this time. Please include the size of pipes and there percent of slopes on the plan sheets. A stormwater profile with spreadsheet is the best way to provide this information. Also, the culvert pipe under Shepherds Ridge Road and its receiving channel will need to be verified for adequacy. 4. There is an outdated Dunlora Pond Drainage area map included in the submittal. The proposed pond was never constructed. Is it the intension to construct a pond with this plan? Please clarify. Additional comments may be forthcoming due to the requested changes on the VSMP and site plan. D. Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP) 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 existing Fire and safety access road must be maintained at all times. The water protection measures appear to remove the required emergency access to Dunlora 3A. Please clarify how this requirement will be maintained. 2. Temporary construction entrance needs to meet the States minimum design per VESCH 3.02 and Albemarle County Design Standards Manual. The length is a minimum 70' and the width for one- way travel is 12', if 2 way travel is expected then a width adequate to wash one exiting truck while a second truck enters the site. The County of Albemarle requires the paved construction entrance detail shown on the VSMP plan. The detail can be found in the design standards manual: http://www.albemarle.org/upload/images/forms_center/departments/community development/for ms/design standards _manual/Albemarle _ County Design Standards_ Manual_ 2015-04- 25_draft.pdf 3. Proposed lots along Shepherds Ridge Road will not receive building permits until the County VSMP Inspector has determined the E&SC measures are no longer need to protect the drainage area being served. The Inspector may require additional E&SC measures such as silt fence to protect the site after the original measures are removed. Additional comments may be forthcoming due to the requested changes on the VSMP and site plan. 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. Engineering Review Comments Page 3 of 3 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.
