VSMP Permit Plan Review
Project title: Martha Jefferson Hospital Apartments Stockpile Area VSMP Plan
Project file number: WP0201800027
Plan preparer: Collins Engineering, Scott Collins, P.E. scoff@collins-engineering.com
Owner or rep.: Martha Jefferson Hospital

Date of comments: 14 May 2018
Reviewer: WW Associates, Inc.
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 SWPPP was not found with this submittal. A SWPPP for this type of project is required in
accord with 9VAC25-870-30. The project is not exempted by 62.1-44.15:34 of the Code of
Virginia. The design consultant is to provide a SWPPP using the standard template from the
County website.
B. Pollution Prevention Plan (PPP)
The PPP content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-404.
1. The PPP exhibit will need to be included in the SWPPP. The design consultant is to provide a
PPP exhibit using the standard template from the County website.
2. Per 9VAC25-880-70 Part III(K), the VSMP Registration Statement is to be signed by the
property owner, Martha Jefferson Hospital, and not by the contract purchaser, Riverbend
Development.
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. The activities associated with this project meet the definition of "Development" as contained in
9VAC25-870-10 and are not "Exclusions" per 9VAC25-870-300. Thus, Stormwater management
quantity and quality controls are to be provided. Please provide quantity and quality controls per
9VAC25-870 and provide appropriate details, calculations, etc. demonstrating compliance.
2. Please note that additional comments may be generated based on responses to these comments.

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.
1. The VSMP Application for Albemarle County is signed by the contract purchaser and not the
property owner. Please refile applications with the signature of the proper Martha Jefferson
Hospital authorized person.
2. The professional engineer's seal is to be signed and dated on all plan sheets, SWPPP cover sheet,
and any design calculations submittals.
3. Please add WPO201800027 to the cover sheet of the plans.
4. Please show the limits of the inundation zone on the plans.
5. Please remove the "Existing Rivanna River" label from the unnamed tributary on Sheet Nos. 2
and 4 (below the boundary course S82'18'56.00"W).
6. The FEMA FIRM referenced (51003C0145D) on the cover sheet is inaccurate. The correct
reference is 51003CO289D as shown on Note No. 1 in the upper right hand corner of Sheet No. 2.
As based on our inspection of the correct FIRM reference, parcel 07800-00-00-020M3 is in Zone
X "Area of Minimal Flood Hazard." Please annotate plan cover sheet stream buffers/floodplain
note and Note No. 1 on Sheet No. 2 accordingly.
7. Please provide location of dust control symbol on Plan Sheet No. 4.
8. Please provide buoyancy/anti-floatation calculations and size the riser anchor accordingly.
9. Please show location of contractor parking and laydown/staging area.
10. Silt fence along the southern property line cross contours. Please place silt fence parallel to
contour by using tangents.
11. Please add symbol for managed and preserved slopes to the legend.
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;
