Applicant accepts DEQ Guidance Memo No. 15-2003 review, with conditions, no SWM Plan required. Read below.
Stormwater management plan content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-403. VDEQ Guidance
Memo No. 15-2003 is Attached. (Rev. 1) Virtually all comments Addressed. As follow-up: Provide new
/upgraded sanitary sewer profiles (no profiles submitted) —item #13. While sanitary profiles are included in
RWSA construction plan sets, Albemarle County Engineer is both VSMP Administrator and Floodplain
Administrator. While technical review is governed by RWSA, neither Applicant nor RWSA may deprive
County Engineer /Engineering Division of essential plan elements (profiles) for facilities crossing or located
within floodplain, stream buffers, or on steep slopes. Please do not question need or authority of VSMP
/Floodplain Administrator to request complete design data for a facilities located within stream buffers,
floodplain, or (in limited instances) on steep slopes. Request for profiles is the single item remaining for
final Engineering Division Approval. Please call County Engineer if any questions.
(Comments below apply under Guidance Memo No. 15-2003 review.)
12. Project is linear utility work. DEQ linear project guidance may apply. DEQ Guidance Memo No. 15-
2003, Apr 23, 2015, allows that: "DEQ staff or the local VSMP authority should utilize their best
professional judgment when evaluating aboveground or underground linear utility projects. If the project
will not result in significant changes to the predevelopment runoff characteristics of the land surface after
the completion of construction and final stabilization, then DEQ or the local VSMP authority, at their
discretion, may waive the requirement for the preparation and implementation of a stormwater management
plan." Guidance Memo No. 15-2003 is conditional, requiring the owner and/or construction activity
operator to provide "reasonable assurance to DEQ or the local VSMP Authority that all of the above
[below] conditions will be satisfied." To this end, to qualify for SWMP/VPDES (CGP) exemption under
DEQ guidance, revise plans to include following Narrative commitment to qualifying conditions:
a. The project is managed so that less than one (1) acre of land disturbance occurs on a daily;
b. The disturbed land where work has been completed is adequately stabilized on a daily basis;
c. The environment is protected from erosion and sedimentation damage associated with the land -
disturbing activity; and
d. The owner and/or construction activity operator designs, installs, implements, and maintains
pollution prevention measures. [The plan does this via design or narrative, sheets 9, 11, 12, 13,
but slight revisions requested. Ref. Sec. A comments, above.] (Rev. 1) Addressed.
13. While it ACSA/RWSA design approval authority is unquestioned, County Engineering retains approval
authority relative to: steep slopes, buffers, VSMP (ESC, SWM, SWPPP), and floodplain management.
Engineering requires complete plan/profile design no less than design details submitted to ACSA/RWSA.
Provide new /upgraded sanitary sewer profiles (no profiles submitted) required to: (Rev. 1) Not Addressed.
a. Evaluate depth vs. construction corridor minimum required width.
b. Confirm design (MH rim, vent) elevations relative to 100-yr base flood elevation.
c. Evaluate possible SSL crossing conflicts (streams; storm outfalls; other utilities; etc.).
d. Ensure minimum separation between sanitary sewer lines and storm lines, or water lines.
e. Evaluate alignment relative to maximum practical avoidance of protected stream buffer.
14. Provide Easement Table for proposed 12" and 8" sanitary sewer lines. Ref, ^ GPSM „rt ' 5,limageb�crosd:
(Rev. 1) Addressed.
15. Submit Floodplain Development Permit (FDP) Application; Ref. WPO201600015. Do not submit this 13-
sheet plan set with FDP Application, but provide cover letter reference to WPO201600015. Also, item #16
— link:
htW://www.albemarle.org/upload/imaces/forms_center/departments/Communiiy Development/forms/Engin
eering_and _WPO_ Forms/Floodplain _ Development_Permit.pdf (Rev. 1) Addressed.
16. Provide PE -seal `No Rise' Certification with FDP Application: sample Attached. (Rev. 1) Withdrawn.
17. Revise Plan title to read: Old Trail VSMP Plan for Slabtown Sanitary Sewer Expansion (WP020160001 S)
(Rev. 1) Addressed.
Engineering Review Comments

18. Show existing sanitary sewer lines in Phase 2; sheets 6, 7, 8 (SSL are shown in Phase 1). Ex. SS MHs are
shown in Phase 2, but not SS lines. This helps support design of new /replacement lines relative to existing
lines, relative to stream buffers. (Rev. 1) Addressed.
19. Label/show new or upgraded sanitary lines, plan view; for example: 8" SSL, or 12" SSL. (Rev. 1)
Addressed.
20. Recommend label sanitary pipe sections between SS MH. Recommend assign pipe numbers. (Rev. 1)
Recommendation declined: plan clutter).
21. Sheet 9, Project description lists total disturbed area =6.1 Ac. Transfer this or revised disturbed area value
to plan view (show with disturbed area labels). Also, see item #22. (Rev. 1) Addressed. Revised to 6.3
Ac.
22. Typical corridor width shown =29'f. Reduce this to minimum necessary to limit stream buffer impacts.
Provide design rationale for any portion of utility corridor width >25' in wooded sections or > 20' in open
(non -wooded) sections. These widths should suffice. Design to these widths. Label typ. corridor widths.
Recalculate and report revised disturbed area, if <6.1 Ac. Stream buffer avoidance and impact
minimization are mandatory and minimum requirements. (Rev. 1) Addressed. 28-Jun 2016 Applicant
response: "RWSA requested that silt fence and tree protection be moved to existing 30' easement liens so
that contractors can have room to work. However, RWSA and ACSA agreed that only 20' easement widths
were required so silt fence and tree protection has been shifted accordingly. Existing easement lines still
limit the areas where new sanitary lines need to be installed. Design rationale for corridor widths stated on
erosion plans that are greater than widths stated above are based on RWSA comments."
23. Provide detail for watertight frame and cover for floodplain management review /approval purposes for
FEMA program audit. Albemarle County is under FEMA directive to implement program oversight
consistent with NFIP requirements. (Rev. 1) Addressed. 28-Jun 2016 Applicant response: "RWSA is
governing the construction process as well as conditions for the sanitary sewer expansion."
Sheet 2
24. Revise scale. (Rev. 1) Addressed.
25. If pipe sections or MH (Ex. SS) are to be removed (TBR) or abandoned, specify means of abandonment.
Comply with state law governing sanitary decommissioning. Address via project sequence. (Rev. 1)
Withdrawn.

Engineering review staff are available 2-4 PM on Thursdays if you wish to discuss project, comments, or design.
Plan review staff available at 434.296-5832, should you have any questions.
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. A plan reviewer will prepare ESCP estimate amount,
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.
VAR100043 was modified by VDEQ, 16-Mar 2016. VAR100043 does not cover Slabtown Branch Sanitary Sewer
Extension, but YVDEQ Guidance Memo 15-2003 is applied, this linear utility project may be exempted from state
CGP coverage requirements. Exemption is not by right or statute, but at local VSMP authority discretion. There is
no linear project guidance exemption from SWPPP requirements; these remain in effect. DEQ Guidance Memo 15-
2003 does not eliminate VPDES requirements, but grants local Authority ability to apply specific conditions to a
project in lieu of stormwater management facilities. This is the approach Albemarle County proposes to take with
this project. At Applicant request, SWM requirements (quality/quantity control) may apply, and Albemarle County
will accept and review SWM facility design, if submitted. If Applicant elects Guidance Memo 15-2003 review, then
VAR100043 requires no update, and no additional state fees apply. As reminder, Guidance Memo 15-2003 imposes
specific conditions. Ref. Sec. B comments, above, and Attached Memo Guidance (Melanie D. Davenport, Director,
DEQ/Water Division, 23-Apr 2015).
Once ESCP is approved, the Plan must be bonded —see above.
Once ESCP bond is posted (after review agency Approvals obtained, including resource permits no utility stre ,
)posed, however; utility stream crossings are proposed), Applicant may request and the County can hold
a pre -construction conference. Applicant will need to request a pre -construction conference by completing a form —
all state fees have been paid. The form identifies the contractor and responsible land disturber, and remaining fee to
be paid (county portion). 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 Grading permit will be issued so that work may begin.
County forms can be found on the county website forms center under engineering;
