Regarding: Hicks Residence- VSMP Plan
Dear VSMP Reviewer:
Enclosed are the Virginia Runoff Reduction Method calculations and stormwater management plan for the
proposed single family Hicks Residence. This parcel is a 21 Acre lot adjacent to the Rivanna River. Most of
the parcel is in some type of protected area, stream buffers or floodway and will not be developed. We
have counted this area as "Open Space"for the purposes of the VRRM spreadsheet. Based on the
computation we find that no pollutant removal is required for construction of the house and conversion of
the entire area outside of the floodplain into managed turf.
Portions of the site drain into an existing channel which discharges directly into the a stream and into the
River, within the 100 year flood plain. It is our understanding that detention or channel protection is not
required for this runoff. The majority of the site will sheet flow directly into the floodplain. We believe this
condition meets the requirements of the State VSMP regulations and that no detention or channel
projection measures are required in this situation.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me at your earliest opportunity. I may be
reached at: Justinshimp-engineering.com or by phone at 434-953-6116.
Sincerely,
Justin Shimp, P.E.
