VSMP Permit plan review
Project title: Pantops Public Safety Facility
Project file number: WP0201600065
Plan preparer: Darren Curtis - DIG, Inc.
Owner or rep.: Blake Abplanalp — Chief of Project Management Albemarle County
Plan received date: 19 Oct 2016
Date of comments: 7 Nov. 2016
Reviewers: Emily Cox
County Code section 17-410 and Virginia Code §62.1-44.15:34 requires the VSMP authority to
act on any VSMP permit by issuing a project approval or denial. This project is denied. The
rationale is given in the comments below. The application may be resubmitted for approval if all
of the items below are satisfactorily addressed. The VSMP application content requirements can
be found in County Code section 17-401.
A. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
The SWPPP content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-405. A SWPPP must
contain (1) a PPP, (2) an ESCP, (3) a SWMP, and (4) any TMDL measures necessary.
1. Please provide a signed registration statement and certification.
B. Pollution Prevention Plan (PPP)
The PPP content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-404.
Please show the location of the construction staging and parking areas. Include these areas in the E&S
plan.
C. Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP)
VSMP Regulation 9VAC25-870-108 requires the VSMP authority to approve or disapprove a
SWMP. This plan is disapproved, and the reasons are provided in the comments below. The
stormwater management plan content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-403.
1. Please change the title of the plan from Site Plan Submittal to VSMP Submittal and include the project
number WP0201600065. Also, remove any sheets from the plan that do not apply to the WPO plan
submission.
2. Show the easement and maintenance access for the SWM extended detention pond and bioretetion
facilities. Please note that a maintenance agreement will need to be executed before a building permit
can be acquired.
3. Please show that the geometry of the bioretention basins meet the DEQ requirements. The flow path
appears to be short-circuiting.
4. Please show the DA to DI -1 as well as the inlet and storm drain calculations. HGL computations were
shown and noted. Also, please provide the velocity of the stormwater at the outlet of this pipe into the

pre-treatment cell.
5. Verify the condition of the existing 48" pipe under the entrance road. Confirm 48" is adequate to
convey the stormwater.
6. Provide an underdrain in the "depression" area or provide calculations/explanation showing that there
will not be any standing water.
D. Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESOP)
Virginia Code §62.1-44.15:55 requires the VESCP authority to approve or disapprove an ESCP.
This plan is disapproved, and the reasons are provided in the comments below. The erosion control
plan content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-402.
1. Please show Dust Control throughout entire site, not just at the entrance.
2. Show the final site playout on the E&S plan or provide a 2 -phase E&S design. Ensure that this plan
shows installation of the 48" pipe as the 1 st measure in order to keep the offsite water from the
disturbed construction site.
3. Per the VESCH, the maximum drainage area to a silt fence CIP is 1 AC. The DA to the silt fence CIP
in the pond appears to be greater than 1 AC. Please review and clarify.
4. There needs to be more than silt fence in the southern corner of the site where the "depression" is
proposed. Swales need to be directed to a sediment trap or a basin, not just silt fence. Please review
and revise. The "depression" should be adequately sized as a sediment trap or basin.
The VSMP permit application and all plans may be resubmitted for approval when all comments have
been satisfactorily addressed. For re -submittals please provide 2 copies of the complete permit package
with a completed application form.
Engineering plan review staff are available from 2-4 PM on Thursdays, should you require a meeting to
discuss this review.
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. One of the plan reviewers will
prepare estimates 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.
Stormwater Management Facilities Maintenance agreements will also need to be completed and recorded.
The County's Management Analyst or other staff will prepare the forms and check for ownership and
signature information. The completed forms will need to be submitted along with court recording fees.
After bonding and agreements are complete, county staff will need to enter project information in a DEQ
database for state application processing. DEQ will review the application information based on local
VSMP authority approval. At this time, the DEQ portion of the application fees will need to be paid
directly to the state. For fastest processing, this is done electronically with the emails provided on the
application. DEQ should notify applicants with instructions on how to pay fees. When DEQ approves the
application, they will issue a permit coverage letter. This should be copied to the county.

After DEQ coverage is issued, via the coverage letter, the County can hold a pre -construction conference.
Applicants will need to complete the request for a pre -construction conference form, and pay the remainder
of the application fee. The form identifies the contractor and responsible land disturber, and the fee
remaining to be paid. 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 joint VSMP and grading permit will be issued by the County so that
work may begin.
County forms can be found on the county website forms center under engineering;
