Erosion and Sediment Control Plan checklist for plan reviewers
Updated 1 Dec 2014
An erosion and sediment control plan is a document which illustrates the measures used to control erosion
and sedimentation during construction. All measures follow the Virginia Erosions and Sediment Control
Handbook.
Reference key;
[Squale B acki-is I are County Code references, ;Curved Brackets are policy references,and(regular
parenthesis)are explanatory. Links to reference documents are provided where possible.
Application information:
ir Completed WPO application and fees,with owners signature [County Code 1 S-32.43.2,
1S-32.3.9, 17 Article l ] Erosion Control plans require a Water Protection Ordinance
£WPO) application 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.
VSA Copies of federal and state permits for any wetland or stream disturbance. (Army Corps,
VDEQ, etc) (17-604, 18-32.1.2, 14-311 ]
k VSMP:
SWPPP,PPP, SWMP 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 formation:
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.
ontent: 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:
v,/ accurate current existing topography at the time of submittal, including all existing site
jeatures, and any recent disturbances, all at a legible scale
17 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 reservoirs,or
floodplain limit if greater.
//AI No buffer disturbances without WPO Program Authority approval and a mitigation plan.
• '1c.IJ3 floodplain limits, including 100yr flood limits for any channel with a drainage area of
50+acres.

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.

for the disturbance. [18-4.2, i 4•.'

there is the danger of affecting neighboring property, either during construction,with
later failures, or with pedestrian or vehicle safety.

Narrative:

other than noting whether they are not seriously in error, like a boilerplate with another
County's name on it.)
Eros n and sediment control measures:
limits of clearing and grading encompassing all disturbances, entrances, staging and
parking areas, areas where sediment laden runoff will cross, or any construction related
activities. This must match any landscaping and conservation plans submitted with site
plans

landscaping and conservation plans.
IC ✓ protection provided for all stages/phases of construction, from initial land clearing to
final grades and hardscapes. This is our most important item. Plans which show only
�o'k inlet protection on proposed drainage systems,which are only possible to install upon
41r completion of grading, may be denied without further review.
ll no erosion control measures in the way of construction access or grading. 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.
Nvt l/ existing soil boundaries are shown with labels. Areas already disturbed are indicated,
with constructed fill depth or cut noted.
e ✓ critical erosion areas are identified; areas of constructed slopes, areas near property lines
i OA adjacent off-site disturbances are shown with erosion control facilities
.t.l/A a stockpile location.
,ln/JA 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.)
��✓I!� a staging and parking area, or other construction related areas
i ✓ diversion dikes are used to direct drainage to traps and basins
✓ silt fence is not used across contours in place of diversion dikes.
2/ silt fence is limited to areas of sheet flow with 1/4 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.
i i/ 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.
/lVl temporary slope drains (TSD) or diversions are provided to prevent discharge over
disturbed or fill slopes

the development areas over 10 acres
1/ 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.
Oil details and copies of Program Authority permissions for any variances.
M s or Early Grading:
/(/110 mass grading Planning approval. (This is also called rough or early grading plans which
contain 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 prior 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.
