Stormwater Management Plan checklist for plan reviewers
18 Feb 2014 (Use the latest checklist from the Team Services engineering forms site)
A stormwater management plan is a plan detailing all measures and facilities to handle and treat
stormwater runoff and protect downstream waters and channels. [17-303,304, and the Virginia
Stormwater Management Handbook, and the BMP Clearing House]
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.
Title information: (applicable to any type of plan)
>/ Project title. Titles should be appropriate. It should be a stormwater management plan,
not an erosion control plan, or site plan etc.
Professional seal, with original signature and date. [18-32.6.1]
C• ten\ The stormwater management plan, a permanent document, must not contain the
- osion c introl plan, a temporary document. It should not be part of a site plan or road
•lan. T •se must be separate documents,to be reviewed and bonded separately. If these
• - ' eluded, they must be removed.
ill X VSMP general consruction permit application made with DEQ.
0 A completed copy of the standard stormwater maintenance agreement and fee for
recordation for any stormwater management facilities [17-304E]
NA copies of manufacturer's approval of the plan for any manufactured stormwater
management facilities (filterra, stormfilter, sandfilter, etc.) {Policy}
M pro-rated share payment for any sites which drain to County regional stormwater
management facilities. (This should have been identified with the preliminary plan or
plat) [17-316]
Exists9g conditions plan view information: (applicable to any type of plan)
V accurate current existing topography at the time of submittal, including all existing site
features, and any recent disturbances, all at a legible scale [18-32.6.21
V date and source of the topographic information: 118-32.6.21 All topography should be at
least visually field verified by the designer within the last year {Policy}
WPO buffer limits; 100' from stream or wetland bank, 200' from reservoirs, or
floodplain limit if greater [17-3171
floodplain limits, including 100yr flood limits for any channel with a drainage area of
50+ acres [18-32.6.2d, 18-30.3]
all existing easements (access, drainage, sight, sanitary easements, etc.) with deed book
references, locations and dimensions [18-32.6.2]
/ all critical slopes (typically shaded) [18-32.5.2j
Proposed plan view information: (applicable to final site plans, road and drainage plans)
Grading: [18-32.6.2, 14-303]
proposed topography at minimum 2' contour intervals—tied into existing contours, as
well as all proposed site features. (Sites with less than 6' of grade change should consider
using smaller contour intervals.)
proposed slopes are all 2:1 (horizontal:vertical) or flatter {Design Manual, section 8}

(..) proposed slopes steeper than 3:1 have low maintenance (not grass) ground cover
specified on the plan {Design.Manual. Section 8}
existing critical slopes are not disturbed, unless a waiver or exemption has been granted
for the disturbance. [ 18-4.2, l4-3041
C) Retaining Wall Plans. Any walls supporting necessary infrastructure require engineered
plans (not generic manufacturer's details) and computations. {Design Manual, section 8
This will also be required where walls are close to property lines and there is the danger
of affecting neighboring property, either during construction,with later failures, or with
pedestrian or vehicle safety.
Easements: [Zoning Ordinance 18-32.7.4, Subdivision Ordinance, Article IV, Division 4]
0 all proposed permanent easements, dimensioned and labeled
stormwater management easements over all facilities and associated structures
and access
- all drainage easements are a minimum 20' wide. Required width: 10'+(pipe dia. or
channel width)+2'+2(depth-5'). The pipe, channel or structure must be within the
center third of the easement. {Design Manual, section 61
.,,,/ no structures or trees within drainage easements {Design Manual. section 6}
Facilies:
stormwater facility and site layout as shown on the site or subdivision plan sheets,
preferably at a scale of 1"=30' or 1"=20'.
90% or more of site development captured in facilities for water quality (ordinance
requires as much as practical, 90% is a target)

area drainage to a facility is impervious. If there are large areas draining to a
facility otherwise, this will not work. Also, if the water quality volume is not
substantially captured, which is the intent, the water quality volume should
