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. SWPPP for WP020160058 must be amended on site to include the applicable sheets from this
plan. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
2. Registration statement with updated disturbed area needs to be provided. Rev. 1: The provided
registration statement needs to be signed.
B. Pollution Prevention Plan (PPP)
The PPP content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-404.
1. PPP must be amended on site to include the revised PPP. This plan shows a new stockpile
location, which should be included in the PPP. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
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 proposed wall is shown in the preserved steep slopes. The storm pipe is allowed in the
preserved slopes however, the retaining wall is not. Please remove the wall from the preserved

slopes. Rev. 1: Comments addressed.
2. The preserved slopes appear different from County GIS. If updated slopes are requested, provide a
signed/sealed survey showing the topography/actual preserved slope limits and a statement from
the surveyor certifying that all revised preserved slopes were field verified. Otherwise, please show
the preserved slopes per the County GIS. Rev. 1: Please reference the exhibit and survey
completed by Roudabush. Sheet 2 states that topo is from Cardinal Survey. Also, please
remove the words managed slopes from the note, "managed slopes — slopes have been
determined...". It just just state, "slopes have been determined...". This is also referenced
on sheets 7 & 8. Please remove "managed slopes".
3. Please provide updated SWM calculations packet and ensure that the updated total disturbed area
is included in all calculations. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
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. Please show the proposed storm pipe on the Phase II E&S plan as well as all applicable inlet and
outlet protection. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
2. Rev 1: Provide outlet protection details (sizing) for the pipe near the retaining wall and at
the entrance.
3. Rev 1: A revised, updated bond must be posted before the plan can be approved. (With
additional inlet and outlet proection).
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

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;
