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. Include reduced size sheets of the E&S and SWM Plans.
2. Note that the notice of general permit coverage and delegation of authority must be inserted once
obtained.
B. Pollution Prevention Plan (PPP)
The PPP content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-404.
1. No objections.
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. This VSMP plan cannot be approved until there is an approved CLOMR.
2. Ensure that the approved floodplain and floodway from the approved CLOMR are shown on this
plan on all applicable sheets.
3. Please reference the table in County Code Chapter 18 Section 30.3.11. This falls under the third
row in stream crossings and grading activities, therefore no grading is allowed in the floodway.
VA SW Design Specification No. 2, sheet flow to filter strip or conserved open space, may assist
in attaining an adequate outfall.

4. SP2007-00063 does not show a 50' stream buffer. It shows a 100' buffer with a 50' mitigation
line. Per County Code 17-604, improvements may be allowed in a stream buffer within the
landward 50 horizontal feet, provided that a mitigation plan satisfying 17-406 is also provided.
Therefore, you must provide mitigation for any improvements in that first landward 50'.
5. The preservation easement note on Sheet 7 must be revised. Credits can no longer be bonded, they
must be purchased before the VSMP permit is issued.
6. Clearly show and label the total area to be platted as forest/open space. (5.61 AC per the VRRM
spreadsheet provided). This area will need to be recorded in a SWM agreement before the plan
can be approved/VSMP permit can be issued.
7. Please provide a drainage map showing that the proposed contributing DA is less than 1% of the
DA of the receiving channel/stream.
8. Revise underground detention emergency spillway elevation detail to say 387.5, not 378.5.
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. The Phase II E&S Plan does not appear to match the ultimate build -out plan shown on the SWM
Plan. Please explain. The ultimate build -out plan on the SWM plan would require more E&S
features that are not shown on this plan (inlet protection, etc).
2. Please provide outlet protection details and calculations for all locations needing outlet protection.
3. Please explain the note on Sheet 5 which says, "Proposed low maintenance & disturbance
pedestrian trail way. No disturbance shall occur within the stream buffer for this installation".
How can there be no disturbance? The trail way is shown in the buffer?
4. Please show permanent seeding symbol on the plans along with temporary seeding.
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;
