(Rev. 1) Comment addressed. Requested information added.
C. Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP)
VSMP Regulation 9VAC25-870-108 requires the VSMP authority to approve or disapprove a
SWMP. This plan is approved. The stormwater management plan content requirements can be
found in County Code section 17-403.
1. [C4.0] Weir designs not provided in landscaping plan as indicated. Weir design should be
provided in stormwater details along with dry swale design detail. Ensure all weir seizes are
dimensioned consistently (Wide, high, deep, long, are identified unclearly between dimensions).
Indicate weir notch shape (rectangular, trapezoidal, etc.).
(Rev. 1) Comment addressed. Weir/dry swale design deleted and replaced with a small pond
with permanent pool. Pond facility for ESA program and not for SWM.
2. [C5.0] No detail is provided for rock channel with check dams as indicated. Please provide detail
in stormsewer details section.
(Rev. 1) Comment addressed. Rock channel with check dam deleted from plan.
3. [C5.2] Table or annotations should be provided presenting overview of pipe and inlet sizes/types.
This should include both proposed and existing pipes/inlets utilized in final site conditions.
(Rev. 1) Comment addressed. Requested information has been added to plan.
4. [C7.0] Provide longitudinal cross section detail of dry Swale design from concrete flume to end of
dry Swale. Ensure current perpendicular cross section detail of dry swale includes all elements
including underdrain, weir cross section, pre-treatment cell, etc. (diagram indicates the existence
of underdrain, but does not detail). Include elevations.
(Rev. 1) Comment addressed. Dry swale removed from plan.
5. [C7.0] Detail should be provided for drainage ditches shown directing flow towards inlet 112. In
addition, channel flow calculations should be included.
(Rev. 1) Comment partially addressed. Swale drainage flow arrows provided, however, swale
sections and calculations not provided. Provide swale sections and calculations demonstrating
that 2 -year storm velocity is non-erosive and that 10 -year storm depth is contained within the
Swale/channel.
(Rev. 2) Comment addressed and criteria met.
6. [C7.0] Include details for all stormsewer structures utilized in the project (ex. MH -1).
(Rev. 1) Comment addressed. Requested information has been added to the plan.
7. [L2.0] Greater detail must be provided for "flow through planters". What elevation are
drains/"risers" to be located at in relation to the top of the media? Where do drainage pipes flow
through planters? Are gravel areas at same elevation as planter sections? What type of gravel is to
be used over drain areas? Do planters detain water/is there staging (should be included in
calculations if so)? Cross section of planter does not match detail.
(Rev. 1) Comment addressed. Flow through planters deleted and replaced with VDOT standard
storm drain structures.
8. [Calculations Packet] It is unclear how courtyard area is incorporated into LD -229 analysis,
please provide clarification.
(Rev. 1) Comment addressed. LD -229 form complete to outfalls at existing structures EX -10 and
EX -1.
9. [Calculations Packet] It does not appear drainage from RD -2 is incorporated into the LD -229
analysis for inlet 124. Please correct/clarify.
(Rev. 1) Comment addressed. Storm drain pipe calculations revised to include roof drain areas.
10. [Calculations Packet] Stormsewer calculations, profiles, and analysis should include existing
pipes. It is unclear due to design/analysis that current pipes downstream of system modifications
Engineering Review Comments

will accommodate proposed flows.
(Rev. 1) Comment addressed. Profiles and calculations demonstrate that existing system is
adequate.
11. [Calculations Packet] VRRM spreadsheet indicates 0.04ac of forest and open space are to be
conserved to partly address water quality requirements. Please indicate location of forest and
open space areas. Note: Forest and open space areas must be placed into conservation easement
for credit for stormwater quality improvements. F&OS must also conform to maintenance
requirements set forth through VSMP program.
(Rev. 1) Comment addressed. Forest and open space deleted from VRRM spreadsheet. SWM
quantity and quality controls still met.
12. [Calculations Packet] Stormsewer profiles indicate structure EX -1 as a MH -1 despite including it
in the drainage calculations as a stormsewer inlet. Please clarify structure type.
(Rev. 1) Comment addressed. Plans and calculations corrected. Structure EX -1 is an energy
dissipation type outfall structure.
13. [General] Side slopes of grass Swale are measured as 3:1 on plan views, but indicated as 4:1 on
detail. Please clarify.
(Rev. 1) Comment addressed. Grass Swale deleted from plan.
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 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. Include the excavated drop inlet sediment trap in the E&S narrative under the structural practices
section.
(Rev. 1) Comment addressed. Requested information has been added to the plan.
2. Maintenance details for each practice should be provided for E&S measures on the plans, or
within SWPPP.
(Rev. 1) Comment addressed. ESC maintenance information has been added as requested.
3. CE should be better located to prevent site access that bypasses CE
(Rev. 1) Comment addressed. CE location shown on sheet C3.1 is functional.
The VSMP permit application and all plans may be resubmitted for approval. Please provide 2 additional
copies of the plans and the SWPPP.
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.
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;
