Reviewers: Bobby Jocz
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. [Cover Sheet] Provide the WPO Application number (WP0201700039) on the cover sheet and
SWPPP document.
2. [Registration statement] As presented, total disturbed area is larger than total land area
development. It appears these values were swapped. Please provide corrected registration
statement for next submittal.
3. [General] Low maintenance ground cover should be provided on slopes >=3:1.
4. [EP2] Topography must be field verified by designer within the past year. Verify and provide date
of verification.
5. [EP3] Identify areas containing managed slopes.
6. Remove landscape plan and sewer profiles from WPO submittal.
B. Pollution Prevention Plan (PPP)
The PPP content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-404.
1. Provide PPP exhibit, or identify on E&S plans, Initial planned locations for stockpiles, concrete
washout, dumpsters, portable bathroom facilities, etc.
2. Complete section A of the PPP plan outlining pollutant activities and prevention practices.

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. [All] Clarify status of "SDG" at the north end of the property connecting to Ex-1. Is this structure
to be removed? If so, eliminate the structure from proposed layouts and provide drainage relief for
existing depression. If it is to remain, include in stormwater calculations and profiles.
2. [EP5] Side slopes for conveyance channel should be limited to 3:1. Ensure EC-2 matting is Type
lI due to velocities being >4fps.
3. [EP10] Please provide context for stormsewer segments presented in LD-229 storm drain
computations. It is unclear what segments this chart is referring to, and where on the overall
Hollymeade property they are located.
4. [EP10] Provide documentation related to compliance with water quality requirements. Water
Quality cannot be addressed as described.
5. [Details] Provide profile and calculations for drainage passing through 8" Duraslot drains. Provide
manufacturers specifications and maintenance details.
D. Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP)
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. [SP4 & SP5] Provide soil boundaries
2. [SP4 & SP5] Provide inlet protection for inlets along the south curb of Laurel Park lane.
3. [EP9] Provide detail for drop inlet protection.
4. [SP4 & SP5] Provide perimeter silt fence or indicate temporary seeding for areas adjacent to
property boundaries.
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.
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
Engineering Review Comments

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.
