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.
a) Rio Road Sections 1 & 2
a. No comments
b) Rockfish Gap Turnpike
a. [Calculations Packet] Project narrative missing.
c) Avon Street Extended
a. No comments
d) General
a. Provide date and source of topographic data. Elevations must be field verified within the
past year.
b. Provide proposed contour elevations.
c. Ensure all symbols/line work are included in key, or ensure all symbols/line work are
explicitly labeled.
d. Provide engineering details for SWM structures. This should include DI -structures, curb
and gutter structures, ramps, etc.
e. Show proposed elevations on road section profile views, or indicate that the elevations are
unchanged.
B. Pollution Prevention Plan (PPP)
The PPP content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-404.
1. No objection.

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.
a) Rio Road Sections 1 & 2
a. [LD 204] DI type and throat length are inconsistent between calculations packet and plans.
Please correct.
b. [LD 229] Pipe invert elevations are inconsistent between calculations packet and plan for
Rio Road Section 1. Lower end invert for 3-1 to 3-2 is a foot off causing subsequent
sections to also represent incorrect values. Please correct.
c. Show HGL elevations on pipe profiles.
b) Rockfish Gap Turnpike
a. Typical section for STA 10+00 to 14+15 identifies proposed path surface material as
"Asphalt Concrete" please clarify.
b. Specify ramp type at the north end of the asphalt path adjacent to Cory Farm Road.
c. Provide additional detail regarding transition between CG and conveyance channel at STA
14+15.
d. [LD 204 and LD 229] Drainage areas presented for structure 5A-2 in DA map (sheet
2I(3)) and in calculations booklet are inconsistent. Map specifies drainage area of 0.13
acres, where calculations booklet specifies DA as 0.03 acres. Please correct.
e. [Sheet 2I(3)] DA and analysis for inlet 5-A3 not presented. Please evaluate.
£ [Sheet 7A] Show pipe details for pipe section between structures 5A-1 to 5A-2 on SWM
profile.
c) Avon Street Extended
a. [LD 204] Provide structure number and type in stormwater inlet computations table.
b. [Sheet 7B & 7C] Manhole access must be provided at a minimum of every 300 feet for
pipes 12-48" in diameter. In addition, pipes should maintain a minimum of 0.5% slope.
d) General
a. The 0.40, 0.30, and 0.95 lbs of nutrient credits for the Rio road, Rockfish Gap, and Avon
Extended sidewalk projects will need to be purchased prior to VSMP approval.
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.
a) Rio Road Sections 1 & 2
a. Ensure all construction activities are included in LOD. It appears some areas within
roadway, specifically installation of new stormsewer structures, are not included as part of
LOD.
b. Ensure silt fencing is placed 5-7 feet from the tow of slope per ESC Handbook Spec 3.05.
It appears fencing is indicated to be placed overtop of areas where site grading is to occur.
Please correct or clarify.
b) Rockfish Gap Turnpike
a. Provide silt fence behind proposed grading from STA 18+50 to the beginning of the
drainage channel.
c) Avon Street Extended
a. Generally Acceptable, no comment.

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;
