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 approved. 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. Copies of the approved ESC and SWM plans will need to be included in the SWPPP before beginning
construction. (Rev. 1) Response noted.
B. Pollution Prevention Plan (PPP)
The PPP content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-404.
1. A copy of the PPP will need to be included in the SWPPP before beginning construction. Areas of
possible pollutants will need to be identified on the plan sheet (such as concrete washouts, dumpsters,
and portable toilets). (Rev. 1) Response noted.
C. Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP)
VSMP Regulation 9VAC25-870-108 requires the VSMP authority to approve or disapprove a
SWMP. This plan is approved, 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. Provide a copy of the previously issued DEQ permit referred to in the grandfathering narrative on
the cover sheet. Otherwise, the note will need to be changed to reflect the grandfathering language
in 9VAC25-870-48, which allows for coverage under one additional permit cycle. As this plan has
less impervious area than the previous plan (WP0200900002) and does not increase the runoff or

phosphorus leaving the site, it will still be subject to the previous regulations. (Rev. 1) Comment
addressed.
2. Provide verification that the existing SWM pond is still operating as designed and is still adequate
for the new development. (Rev. 1) Response noted. The amendment will need to be approved
prior to approval of this plan. (Rev. 2) Addressed. The amendment has been approved.
D. Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESOP)
Virginia Code §62.1-44.15:55 requires the VESCP authority to approve or disapprove an ESOP.
This plan is approved, 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. This requirement appears adequately addressed at this time.
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.
