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. Provide WPO application number [WP0201700063] on the coversheet, SWPP, and calculations
packet.
2. Calculations packet should be stamped and signed with P.E seal.
3. Provide an email address on the registration from so that electronic transmittal of DEQ GCP can
occur.
4. Provide date of field verification for topography data, topography data must be field verified by
engineer within the past year.
5. Provide source of topography data. It appears that two sets of data were used and as a result
contour lines conflict and intersect with adjacent contours making elevations unclear. Please
correct. Please ensure contour line style and weight is consistent throughout plans.
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.
1. Provide separate Stormwater Management sheet demonstrating pre/post construction SWM
conditions.

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. Add sediment trap to the list of E&S controls on sheet C2.
2. Separate E&S phases. First phase should include methods used during demolition of current
driveway. The second phase should include measures used during construction of the new
driveway and single family home. (note: The second phase can be combined to satisfy comment
C.1 above)
3. Provide detail for paved construction entrance per design standards manual Ch. 3.F.
4. Provide length of southern most level spreader.
5. Proposed grading contours should be shown around sediment trap. Proposed contours should have
line type and weight consistent with those throughout the plan. Rip -rap should extend past fill area
of trap embankment.
6. Provide silt fencing along the contours between the southern edge of the proposed driveway and
the site's southern LOD.
For re -submittals please provide 2 copies of the complete permit package with a completed application
form.
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
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.
