1. Please provide a detail for the retaining wall. The retaining wall detail should include a handrail
and a note stating that for any portion of the wall taller than 4ft, a handrail will be required.
2. Should the spot elevation in the southeast corner of the artificial field be 637? The crown and
longitudinal pitch of the field appear to be between 0.46% and 0.48% except for the slopes to the
point in the southeast corner.
3. The cleanout detail on sheet 4 shows the pipe exposed on the playing surface. Please clarify.
4. The County has refined its policy on artificial turf fields. The conversion of the grass to artificial
turf increases the overall imperviousness of the site, so water quality and quantity control is a
concern. Though, after evaluating the existing stormwater system, engineering review believes
that water quantity control is not an issue considering the detention within in the existing
downstream biofilter, underground pipe, and even within the underdrain system of the new field.
However, water quality concerns still exist. The applicant should submit a WPO plan showing
water quality treatment of the runoff from the artificial field. Water quality computations should
be made considering the artificial field as gravel (70% imperviousness).
Alternatively, in lieu of providing treatment within a facility, the applicant may commit to water
quality monitoring of the runoff from the artificial field. The frequency and location of the water
quality sampling should be determined by a qualified individual with experience in water quality
analysis. Results and analysis of the raw data should be provided to the county every three months
after construction of the field for a period of one year.

Rev. 1) At the suggestion of the applicant, the County will allow the treatment of a percentage
of existing VDOT impervious surfaces in lieu of direct treatment of the artificial turffield.
However, in order to treat this road runoff to the minimum state guidelines, a full biofilter
section (2.5ft) must be provided. Once the following items are addressed, the plan can be
approved:
Please submit a WPO application and fee ($180) for an amendment to the SWMplan.
Please update the biofilter detail on Sheet 2.1 to show a 2. Sft section of the "state- approved
biofilter mix" and between 12" & 18" of gravel beneath the soil mix. Please also remove
structure 23 and 8" pipe from the profile.
The county will accept the adequate percolation rate of the in -situ soil beneath the biofilter, so
an underdrain will not be required. Please remove structure 23, the underdrain pipe, and the
note referring to the underdrain pipe from pages C0.0 and C1.3.
It should also be noted that the applicant is now proposing to direct runofffrom turffield into
the irrigation cistern. This will result in some additional treatment of the runofffrom the field
during spring and summer months.

Kurt,
I have reviewed the latest set of plans for the minor amendment for the turf field replacement at Saint Anne's Belfield. The plans
look okay except for a few touchups that I am refiPIIM. bpeIo,,orde for engineering to approve the WPO plan (and hence
recommend approval of the site plan to the planner ,._L e' d'Y s T pf'[h plan in addition to the WPO application and fee. The
WPO application should be submitted as an amendment to a previously approved SWM plan (WPO 2008 - 00094) with a $180
fee. When the 3 sets of he plan are submitted to the engineering for approval, please make sure the following minor changes are
applied to the plan: V s
7Call the "grass" out in the biofilter detail s Switchgrass
A 12" to 18" layer of gravel (1/2" to 1" stone) underneath the biomix is required. Please revise the detail to show this accurately.
Please add a note to the biofilter detail stating that an underdrain is not required because of satisfactory permeability tests.
It appears the handrail note on sheet 3 of 5 is no longer necessary because a chain Zink fence is now being proposed. To avoid
confusion, please remove this note.
ytf possible, please edit the note /callout on sheet 1 of 5 that still refers to the 8" pipe and sandfilter. If this is difficult to do, I can
scratch out the note on the sets we approve later if necessary.
Y /Le also given a copy of the plan to Summer for her to look over. Before sending any copies to engineering, it may be best to
wait for her to get back to you regarding the set. Then, you can drop off all of the copies needed for both WPO and site plan
approval.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Phil

Subject: Engineering Review of the Saint Anne's Belfield Turf Field Minor Amendment
Engineering has reviewed the latest set of drawings for the Saint Anne's Belfield Turf Field project (SDP -2009-
00037 and WPO- 2009 - 00038), received on 3 August 2009. All outstanding engineering comments have been
addressed and the stormwater management plan amendment is hereby approved. No adjustment to the WPO
bond will be necessary.
With the approval of the stormwater plans, engineering review can now recommend approval of the site
amendment plan to the lead planner.
Please contact me should you have any questions.
Thanks,
Phil
