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 include the WPO project number (WP0201700040) on both the cover sheet of the plan sets
and the SWPPP document.
2. Field verification of topography must occur by the designer within the past year. Please provide
date of field verification.
3. Show WPO stream buffer limits, critical slope areas.
4. Floodplain Development Permit must be approved prior to WPO plan approval. FDP is currently
under review by County Staff.
5. Provide driveway profile and cross section, driveway dimensions.
B. Pollution Prevention Plan (PPP)
The PPP content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-404.
1. Provide proposed locations of concrete washout and equipment wash facilities on P2 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. The 5.10 acres of Forest/Open space will need to be placed within a SWM Forest and Open Space
easement. This easement will need to be platted and recorded, along with a deed of easement and
SWM maintenance agreement, prior to VSMP approval.
2. Provide maintenance notes for Forest and open space and level spreaders.

3. A mitigation plan for stream buffer impacts must be provided in accordance with County Code
section 17-406.
4. Provide dimensions/details for both level spreader structures, including width, length, and depth.
Ensure level spreaders meet DEQ design specification #2 requirements for length (13' per 1cfs of
flow, with a minimum length of 13'). Please provide lyr flow rates from ditches to show level
spreader design adequacy.
5. Adequate channel must be provided for all discharges, including those from culverts conveying
flow from conveyance channels.
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 include in Erosion and Sediment control notes that "The stream bed and stream banks shall
be stabilized within seven (7) days from the start of backfilling for the bridge or culvert." As stated

2. Provide paved construction entrance detail per County standard.
3. Provide temporary seeding detail.
4. The construction entrance is shown to extend outside the LOD, please revise.
5. Provide safety fence or construction entrance on southern driveway entrance to prevent, or
adequately provide (if needed), access to the site from that direction.
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;
