Engineering plan review staff are available from 2-4 PM on Thursdays, should you require a meeting to
discuss this review.
Process;
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.
