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 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 ESOP, (3) a SWMP, and (4) any TMDL measures necessary.
1. The existing SWPPP will need to be updated with the amendment. If area shown on the existing
Registration Statement is being increased, a new statement will be needed. (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 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. The sheet emailed on 3/23 will need to be included in the next submittal. The layout on this sheet
also conflicts with the layout shown on other sheets and a consistent layout will need to be shown.
This may also require changes to the road plans. (Rev. 1) Comment addressed. Please note that
since this is conventional zoning, a grading permit for the further disturbance will not be
issued until the Glenbrook Initial Site Plan is approved. [18.32.4.2.8b]
2. Provide a maintenance schedule for the pond on the plans. (Rev. 1) Comment addressed.
3. The calculations/VRRM worksheet will need to be revised to match any additional areas shown on
the recently submitted site plan for the area around the revised pond. (Graham's message on 3/21)
(Rev. 1) Comment addressed.
4. Side slopes for the pond should have a gradient of 4:1 or 5:1 for easier maintenance and safety.

D. Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESOP)
Engineering Review Comments
Page 2 of 2
Virginia Code §62.1-44.15:55 requires the VESCP authority to approve or disapprove an ESOP.
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. See comment 1 above. (Rev. 1) Comment partially addressed. It appears additional measures
may be required along lots 54-60 if they will be completed before the grading of Glenbrook
is finished. All necessary measures from Phase II should also be shown on the Glenbrook
ESC plan, such as the inlet protection. Show the drainage areas to the traps and basin on
sheet 10A.
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.

RE: Foothill Crossing II VSMP(WPO-2017-00020)
Dear Mr. Wentland:
Thank you for your comments dated March 31,2017. Revised plans have been submitted incorporating the
following changes in response to the items in your letter:
A. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan(SWPPP)
1. The existing SWPPP has been updated for the new plan and increased LOD area.
D. Stormwater Management Plan(SWMP)
1. The emailed over-lot grading plan is now sheet 10A.
2. A maintenance schedule for the pond has been added to sheet 6 to address this comment.
3. The initial submittal for this plan conservatively assumed a heavily impervious watershed for DA IA's final
buildout.Following this submittal a detailed analysis of Basin lA's watershed was conducted with the
submittal of the Glenbrook initial site plan. The analysis yielded a slightly larger watershed,as referenced in
the comment letter,but also a less impervious watershed. The initial submittal assumed a 20.16 acre
watershed consisting of 16.33 acres of impervious area and a design treatment volume of 88,643 cf.
However in actuality,the Glenbrook initial site plan proposes a less intense watershed.Basin IA's ultimate
watershed is 21.60 acres with 9.90 acres of impervious area and a design treatment volume of 63,951 cf. As
with the initial submittal,the pond was analyzed for the approved Foothill Crossing II improvements, as well
as for the ultimate buildout of its watershed,which includes the Glenbrook initial site plan currently being
reviewed. All updates associated with the corrected watershed have been carried out in the attached
stormwater management calculations packet, inclusive of the VRRM worksheet showing Basin IA's
ultimate design treatment volume and Glenbrook's water quality compliance.
4. In a phone conversation dated April 7th between Mr. Wentland and Mr.Murray of Collins Engineering,it
was determined 3:1 side slopes could be used for the wet pond. It was decided these 3:1 side slopes would
need to occur above and below the water surface elevation,and ideally along the forebay embankment.As a
result,the plans have been revised accordingly.Additionally, it was determined the location of the retaining
wall with handrails along the western side of the pond was acceptable.
E. Erosion and Sediment Control Plan(ESCP)
1. The ESC layout plan is now consistent with the over-lot grading plan.
Please contact me if you have any questions or require any further information.
Sincerely,
Graham Murray,PE
