Date: 31 Aug 2007
Subject: NGIC Expansion (SDP200700078)
Before Engineering can recommend preliminary approval to the site plan, the following comments must be
addressed:
Please show more accurate existing topography. There is an existing RCP draining from the edge
of the woods towards the existing pond (both outfalls from the NGIC drain to it). The existing
topography also does not appear to include the existing NGIC development or grading to install an
access road to the pond dam. Please show accurate drainage areas.
Please show more accurate final topography. There is a 20 foot discrepancy in places between
existing contour lines and final contour lines. Show all necessary grading or retaining walls
needed, etc. Please show proposed grading for the road extension. Show proposed drainage pipes
and structures needed for the roadway.
Please provide all needed easements (or at a minimum for preliminary approval, a letter of intent)
from the United States of America for grading, drainage easements, use of the pond, etc. A
drainage easement will be needed from both proposed outfalls of the NGIC expansion. Drainage
easements should be shown correctly over ditches and drainage structures.
Please provide removal rate calculations. Please show where you propose to install a riser structure
on the existing pond. The plans specify an existing riser, but we could not locate it on site. Please
verify whether or not the pond has an existing riser structure.
Please show the stream buffers on the plans (buffer on North Fork Rivanna River).
The following comments will need to be addressed before final site plan approval:
6. Parking areas cannot exceed 5% grade in any direction.
7. The dumpster locations do not appear to be accessible by garbage trucks.

To: David Pennock, Current Development planning review
From: Jonathan Sharp, Current Development engineering review
Date: 01 Oct 2007
Subject: NGIC Expansion (SDP200700078)
Engineering cannot recommend approval to the preliminary site plan; the following comments have not
been addressed:
2. Please show more accurate final topography. There is a 20 foot discrepancy in places between
existing contour lines and final contour lines. Show all necessary grading or retaining walls
needed, etc. Please show proposed grading for the road extension. Show proposed drainage pipes
and structures needed for the roadway.
Revl: There are several areas where parking exceeds 5 %. In addition, grading on the northeast
side of the property is very close to the zoning buffer area and grading on the southwest side of
the property is within the zoning buffer area. Please address these concerns prior to preliminary
plan approval. There are several proposed grading errors: grading northeast of the fixture
residential phase— elevation 484 is labeled 482; also, there is a saddle point near this area and
the proposed grading there is incorrect. There are erroneous grade lines between proposed
elevations 494 and 496 is the parking area northeast of the phase I building. There is no
grading shown at the end of the proposed road. Also, please show match lines oil Sheets 3 and
3A. Several of the proposed areas are missing.
3. Please provide all needed easements (or at a minimum for preliminary approval, a letter of intent)
from the United States of America for grading, drainage easements, use of the pond, etc. A
drainage easement will be needed from both proposed outfalls of the NGIC expansion. Drainage
easements should be shown correct y, ditches and drainage structures.
Rev]: comments not addressed.
4. Please provide removal rate calculations. Please show where you propose to install a riser structure
on the existing pond. The plans specify an existing riser, but we could not locate it on site. Please
verify whether or not the pond has an existing riser structure.
Rev]: The proposed SWM facilitJ will require an approved variation of tie ZMA. As shown,
drainage area 3 remains untreated. This section of the roadway must be treated for water
quality and stormwater detention must be provided (as well as an adequate drainage concept,
the proposed plan shows no drainage structures capturing this area and it appears runoff will
be draining across the roadway). The removal rate calculations are incorrect, as they include
areas not draining to the facility. The removal rate calculation should be as follows: Drainage
Area: 13.25 acres; Ipre: 20 %; Ipost 67 %, Removal Rate: 65 %.
The following comments will need to be addressed before final site plan approval:

Parking areas cannot exceed 5% grade in any direction.
Revl: This issue is significant enough that it should be addressed at the preliminary plan
phase. See comment number 2 above.
The dumpster locations do not appear to be accessible by garbage trucks.
Rev]: The dumpster location appears to be within the parking area for phase IL During phase
I, a temporary dumpster pad location may be required (to be shown at the final site plan for
phase I).

3. Please include a benchmark location and elevation for topography.
4. The plans indicate a 100' stream buffer on the north end of the project. There is no Albemarle
County stream buffer in this area. If this is a USGS stream or buffer, disturbance may require
approval from the Corps or DEQ.
C. Proposed plan view information
5. Proposed disturbance of existing critical slopes requires a critical slopes waiver from the Planning
Commission. [per 18- 4.2.6c]
Please provide proposed topography at a minimum 2' contour interval.
Please show the Albemarle County general construction notes on the plans [per DM].
D. Stormwater management plan
8. Stormwater facilities may be oversized for future development. However, Stormwater
Management will have to be verified at the time that future site plans are submitted. (If any SWM
requirements change, future plans will have to be in accord with the latest standards.)
9. For proposed and existing drainage area maps, please label coefficients and time of concentration
used for each drainage area.
10. Please provide a plan view of the stormwater facility at a scale of 1": 20' or 1": 30'.
11. Please provide Albemarle County general stormwater notes [per DM]
12. Please show the location of stormwater management easements around the proposed facility.
Easements should encompass 100 -year WSE area, all structures and embankments, and access to
the riser and forebay.)

Memorandum
To: David Pennock, Current Development planning and zoning review
From: Jonathan Sharp, Current Development engineering review
Date: 28 Nov 2007
Subject: LDS Church Minor Amendment (SDP200700104) critical slope waiver request
The critical slope waiver request has been reviewed. The engineering analysis of the request follows:
Description of critical slope area and proposed disturbance:
The critical slope area, within TMPs 32 -17 and 32 -17E3, appears to be natural slopes. The critical slope
disturbance is in the form of a proposed stormwater management facility. This proposed facility is intended
to serve roughly 8 acres of future development on portions of TMPs 32 -17, 32 -17E1, E2, and E3. The
proposed facility will also serve the LDS Church on TMP 32 -17A1 (roughly 4 acres), which is currently
under construction.
Areas Acres
Total site 31.3 acres approximately
Critical slopes 2.6 8.3% of site
Critical slopes disturbed 0.12 4.6% of critical slopes
Below, each of the concerns of Zoning Ordinance section 18 -4.2 is discussed:
Compliance with Zoning Ordinance 18 -4.2:
movement of soil and rock"
Proper slope construction, control of drainage, and vegetative stabilization will prevent any movement
of soil.
excessive stormwater runoff'
Stormwater runoff will not increase as the proposed stormwater facility will provide adequate
stormwater detention.
siltation"
Inspection and bonding by the County will ensure siltation control during construction. Proper
stabilization and maintenance will ensure long term stability.
loss of aesthetic resource"
The proposed disturbance will be partially visible by neighboring properties. The plans show clearing
an additional 3 acres of wooded area in order to install the proposed facility.
septic effluent"
The LDS church is served by public sewer.

Exemptions to critical slopes waivers for driveways, roads and utilities without reasonable
alternative locations:
The applicant originally submitted a WPO application proposing two regional facilities on TMPs 32 -17
and 32 -17E3. However, Stonnwater management facilities are allowed by right as shown only on an
approved final site plan or subdivision plat. The facilities do not fall under the criteria as an allowable
stand alone use in areas zoned Light Industry. Therefore, the applicant submitted a Minor Amendment to
the approved LDS Church Site Plan (SDP200600086) in order to be able to propose one of the facilities
the facility which will also serve the LDS Church).
The proposed critical slope disturbances associated with this plan are not exempt. The approved
Stormwater Plans for the LDS Church (WPO200600055) show a proposed bioretention basin in the
location of the sediment basin on site (after final stabilization the sediment basin will be retrofitted to a
bioretention basin). This approved plan presents a reasonable alternative location.
No plans have been submitted showing the future development which the proposed Stormwater Facility
will serve. If a preliminary plan were submitted, a critical slopes waiver may not be necessary as the
location may be reasonable in order to serve future development. However, without any plans of the
proposed development, Engineering cannot support the proposed facility.
Based on the above review, Engineering recommends denial to the critical slope waiver.

Subject: NGIC Expansion SDP -07 -138
We have reviewed the site plan titled "NGIC Expansion Phases I & II, dated October 31, 2007 and we offer the
following comments:
1). Final water and sewer construction drawings are required for our review and approval, including the
connection to the existing water and sewer mains. Construction drawings shall be submitted directly to the ACSA
and must be approved prior to us granting approval to the final site plan.
2). Show the connection to the existing water and sewer mains on the site plan.
3). Dedication and acceptance of the existing water and sewer mains along Boulders Road shall be completed
prior to the ACSA granting approval to the final site plan.
4). This fall the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority (RWSA) directed their consultant, Hazen and Sawyer to
conduct an analysis of the Camelot Wastewater Treatment Plant to verify the capacity of the treatment facility.
The plant is currently permitted for a flow rate of 200,000 gallons per day (gpd) and is treating an average influent
flow of 120,000 gpd. The analysis determined that the strength of the wastewater has increased significantly over
the original design value of the plant; and the flow entering the plant varies significantly over the course of the day
with peak flows of up to 4 to 6 times the average flow. The plant is currently operated with one -half of the
secondary treatment volume dedicated to flow equalization to dampen the high strength wastewater loading and
the hydraulic spikes. As a result, Hazen & Sawyer concluded that the plant capacity in this configuration is limited
to 120,000 gpd. Therefore the plant is currently at its limiting capacity. At this time no additional sewer flow can be
accepted into the Camelot Plant. The ACSA and RWSA are working closely and expeditiously to make
improvements to enable the plant to operate at the level it is permitted, until such time as the Camelot
Wastewater Treatment Plant can be replaced by a regional pump station. At this time the ACSA and RWSA do
not know the exact timeline when the improvements will be approved and modifications completed.
Once items 1, 2 and 3 listed above are completed, the ACSA is agreeable to approving the final site plan subject
to the understanding by the applicant that no flow can be accepted into the Camelot Plant until modifications
noted above are completed and operational. Let us know if you have any questions. Thanks.

Dear Mr. Fern.:
January 11, 2008
JAN 7 5 200,3
I am writing with regards to our phone conversation on January 10, 2008. The Government
has constructed water and sewer lines to serve the National Ground Intelligence Center (NGIC)site at Boulders Road and Seminole Trail, Albemarle County, Virginia. The Army has actually
started the privatization process by ordering meets and bounds surveys to support the granting of
utility easements. We are proceeding with the process of obtaining Army approvals needed to
privatize both systems. Through this process, easements will be granted and ownership of thepipes /lines will be transferred.
Once we receive the recorded surveys, our approval authority and the other items required byyourauthorityforthededicationofthewaterandsewersystems, we plan to grant easements and
provide a bill of sale for both utility lines and any other improvements that make up the two
utility systems located on the NGIC site. It is understood that there will be no connections to or
use of the Government owned lines until such time as they are privatized. That privatization
process will not delay the construction of an office building on private property adjacent to the
Govermnent owned property. That office building will be leased by GSA in direct support to theArmymission.
Thafflcs for your cooperation in this matter. We look forward to coordinating these activities
and getting this dedication completed as quickly as possible.

Re: National Ground Intelligence Center (NGIC)
Infrastructure Dedication
Dear Mr. Horton:
We are in receipt of your letter, dated January 11, 2008, addressing the
dedication of water and sewer mains along Boulders Road in Albemarle County.
Your letter confirms our understanding that the Department of Army is proceed-
ing with the dedication and that this federal process may take some months.
Within your letter, you have also agreed that connections to this infrastructure will
not occur until the dedications have been completed.
By copy of this letter, the ACSA is informing the County of Albemarle's
Department of Planning and Community Development that, we are waiving our
requirement to receive these dedicated utilities, prior to granting approval to the
final site plan. This condition was expressed in an email, dated December 13,
2007, from Mr. Peter Gorham, P.E., Director of Engineering of the ACSA to Mr.
David Pennock.
As we discussed earlier today, while a Bill of Sale may be provided by the
Department of the Army for this existing infrastructure, the ACSA will not be re-
quired to submit any payment.

Reviewer: (Rev. 1) Phil Custer
Jonathan Sharp
The SWM, ESC, and site amendments for the LDS church, received 15 January 2008, have been
reviewed. The plans cannot be approved at this time. The following comments have been
provided:
A. Application information
B. Existing conditions information
4. (Rev. 1) Per condition 1 of the critical slope waiver action letter, please delineate a 100' buffer
on all sheets. Note on each sheet how the contractor is not to disturb outside the shown limits
of construction, especially within 100' of existing stream.
The applicant also needs to provide engineering review with the approval letters from the
necessary agencies permitting the disturbance of the intermittent stream and /or wetlands
located on site. A grading permit will not be issued until these letters are received.
C. Proposed plan view information
D. Stormwater management plan
engineering Review Comments

8. Stormwater facilities may be oversized for future development. However, Stormwater
Management will have to be verified at the time that future site plans are submitted. (If any SWM
requirements change, future plans will have to be in accord with the latest standards.)
12. Please show the location of stonnwater management easements around the proposed facility.
Easements should encompass 100 -year WSE area, all structures and embankments, and access to
the riser and forebay.)
Rev. 1) Comment addressed. Though, the easement may need to be adjusted based on
necessary changes to address comment #15.
14. The following is required for a retention pond with 4xWQV:
a. 15% of WQV is 1.5' deep or less
b. 15% of WQV is between 1.5' to 2' deep
c. 70% of WQV is between 2' to 6' deep
d. a 10 -15' wide and 1 -1.5' deep aquatic bench
e. at least 3 species of aquatic plants are used
Rev. 1) Please provide a greater portion of the WQV to be held in the 2' to 6' depth. It appears
that only 42% of the volume is held within this range (70% is the target). It appears this can be
achieved easily by reducing the forebay slightly.
Please provide a typical 10'.t 10' planting plan for the aquatic bench and a total plant count for
the entire pond. The counted plantings are needed for bonding purposes.
15. Please show vehicle access roads to the riser structure and forebay weir of the pond. The
following is required for maintenance access roads:
a. access 10' wide minimum and 20'No slope maximum
b. slope over 10% requires gravel surface
Rev. 1) Comment not addressed. Access road needs to show the grading need to construct the
path. There also appears to be no access available to the forebay. Please adjust the path to the
forebay and riser so that it is traversable. Please make it clear on the plan what portion of the
access road will require gravel surfacing.

19. A Stonnwater bond will be computed by the County once the plans have been approved.
a. (Rev. 1) Please provide a baffle to lengthen the flow path in the facility for the sediment
basin and SWMpond.
b. (Rev. 1) Please design and show on the plan appropriately sized riprap channels on the
proposed 2: l slopes upstreain and downstream of die sediment forebay. Engineering
review recommends grouting the riprap channel to prevent washout.
E. Erosion control plan
21. Please show the Temporary Stablization (TS) symbol on the plans.
Rev. 1) Please show Temporary Stabilization on the stockpile.
22. Please show a location for a parking and staging area and a stockpile area. These areas should be
located within the limits of disturbance.
Rev. 1) Please relocate staging and stockpile area to as close to Timberwood Boulevard as
possible per condition 2 of the critical slope waiver. It appears that both of these items can be
placed within the limits of disturbance of the approved plan. Mnti/tiize the limits of disturbance
boundary to only the area needed to construct the pond.
24. The following comments refer to the sediment basin:
a. The basin needs an adequate riser structure to dewater dry storage for a 6 -hour drawdown
time.
Rev. 1) Please label the diameter of'the dewatering orifice andprovide the necessary
calculations Items b, c, and d appear to have been addressed
26. It does not appear that stormwater channel (A) needs to be constructed at this time, as it is not
capturing any developed or disturbed area. Stonnwater Conveyance Channels should be denoted
with the appropriate VESCH symbol (SCC).
Rev. 1) The stormwater channel A is unnecessary and should be removed from the plan per
condition 2 of the critical slope waiver approval letter.
27. An E &S bond will be computed by the County once the plans have been approved.
a. (Rev. 1) Please remove the silt fence from the channel below the sediment basin.
