All measures follow the Virginia Erosions and Sediment Control Handbook. Reference key; [Square Brackets] are County Code references, {Curved Brackets} are policy references, and (regular parenthesis) are explanatory. Links to reference documents are provided where possible. Application information: ✓ Completed WPO application and fees, with owners signature [County Code 18-32.4.3.2, 18-32.3.9, 17 Article II] Erosion Control plans require a Water Protection Ordinance (WPO) pplication and original owner's signature. No review is provided without application, owner signature and fees. This is true even for revisions. It is important that the owner -be aware of comments and re -submittals, and this is the county assurance. Copies of federal and state permits for any wetland or stream disturbance. (Army Corps, VDEQ, etc) [17-604, 18-32.1.2, 14-311] VSMP: SWPPP, PPP, SWIvIP approvals obtained where necessary. In most cases, the erosion control plan will not be submitted independently, but will be part of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). Unless exempt, it will be approved with the SWPPP. Title information: __x✓ Project title. Titles should be appropriate. It should be an erosion control plan, not a stormwater plan, or site plan, etc. In some cases a WPO package will contain a stormwater plan and a mitigation plan, but they should be on separate sheets with keys and page titles. ✓ Professional seal, with original signature and date for professionally prepared plans. ✓ Content: The erosion control plan must not contain information regarding permanent improvements that do not also appear on other plans. Erosion control plans are temporary documents that are discarded after projects are complete. Existing conditions plan view information: accurate current existing topography at the time of submittal, including all existing site features, and any recent disturbances, all at a legible scale ,✓ date and source of the topographic information: All topography should be at least visually field verified by the designer within the last year. Adequate erosion control cannot be designed without accurate topography and drainage areas. WPO buffer limits; 100' from stream or wetland bank, 200' from reseivoirs, or floodplain limit if greater. / No buffer disturbances without WPO Program Authority approval and a mitigation plan. floodplain limits, including 100yr flood limits for any channel with a drainage area of 50+ acres. Albemarle County Engineering E&SC Plan Checklist Page 2 of 4 Floodplain undisturbed. Disturbances require a Special Use Permit or Floodplain Development Permit. M0 all existing easements (access, drainage, sight, sanitary easements, etc.) with deed book references, locations and dimensions p all critical slopes (typically shaded) Zoning Ordinance buffers shown and protected undisturbed. Disturbances require Planning approval of a waiver. Proposed plan view information: Grading: proposed topography at minimum 2' contour intervals — tied into existing contours, as well as all proposed site features in later phases. (Sites with less than 6' of grade change should consider using smaller contour intervals.) These should agree with other final plans. proposed slopes are all 2:1 (horizontal:vertical) or flatter {Design Manual, section 81 proposed slopes steeper than 3:1 have low maintenance (not grass) ground cover specified on the plan {Design Manual, Section 81 -A-5 6-, ���^''-� 4 ���`'' e- ' X`. /1 existing critical slopes are not disturbed, unless a waiver or exemption has been granted for the disturbance.

This is our most important item. Plans which show only inlet protection on proposed drainage systems, which are only possible to install upon completion of grading, may be denied without further review. no erosion control measures in the way of construction access or ading_ Diversion dikes or silt fence are not placed in the middle of the site, or through access or grading. Sediment traps are not under or on top of fill material or held up by retaining walls. Construction entrances are not on fill, etc. If the concept for site protection is not adequate in this regard, further review of the plan may not be possible. existing soil boundaries are shown with labels. Areas already disturbed are indicated, with constructed fill depth or cut noted. critical erosion areas are identified; areas of constructed slopes, areas near property lines adjacent off -site disturbances are shown with erosion control facilities / a stockpile location. where cut or fill balances have a 10,000 cubic yard deficit or more, plans should not be approved without a waste area identified. This must be on -site, or on another approved and permitted site. (Don't make the inspectors chase trucks to find the dump site violation.) a staging and parking area, or other construction related areas diversion dikes are used to direct drainage to traps and basins / silt fence is not used across contours in place of diversion dikes. silt fence is limited to areas of sheet flow with'/4 acre per 100ft of level on -grade silt fence. Plans showing only silt fence, without sediment trapping measures, should not be approved unless they meet this criteria and fill dirt is minimal. ./ all swales and low points at the perimeter of the site have a sediment trap or basin. Silt fence in swales is typically not adequate. Check dams do not substitute for traps. Diversions which travel more than 100ft, or go in and out of swales, are usually not maintainable in the field. If the concept for site protection is not adequate in this regard, further review of the plan may not be possible. temporary slope drains (TSD) or diversions are provided to prevent discharge over ` disturbed or fill slopes inlet protection (IP) on all inlets culvert inlet protection (CIP) on all culvert inlets outlet protection (OP) on all outlets A44- K%'1 - all watercourses are protected and encroachments minimized stream crossing (USC,SC) and diversions are provided at all stream crossings. adequate channels (MS-19) provided for each outfall see Design Manual for minimum content) OOIW A4% &K&"t, A AAA all traps and basins are shown with proposed contours.

Baffles specified only on temporary structures (p.III-79). Baffles are a big hassle in construction, and should not substitute for properly dimensioned design if at all possible. Details: a paved construction entrance detail (see Design Manual reference details) for projects in the development areas over 10 acres a typical section for each temporary channel or diversion, referenced from the plan sheets. Existing ground should be shown at the maximum cross -slope on the plan. fr'16"� details and copies of Program Authority permissions for any variances. d"0#15' Mass or Early Grading: SW a w a mass grading Planning approval. (This is also called rough or early grading plans which tohtain only approximate finished grades and culverts necessary to grade) Mass grading can only be permitted within planned developments where a concept grading plan was approved with the rezoning. The agent (Director of Planning) needs to formally determine that the grading plan is in general conformity with the approved rezoning plan. Otherwise, an initial site -plan needs to be approved pdox to issuance of 'a grading permit: Issuance of a grading permit at the initial site plan stage, as apposed to after final plan approval, requires specific approval from the County Engineer.
