Reviewer: David James [djames@albemarle.org]
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 ite ms 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. Registration Statement: Complete section 1 contact info.
2. Submit a SWPPP.
B. Pollution Prevention Plan (PPP)
The PPP content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-404.
1. Submit a PPP.
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. Show the area of disturbance on the project site’s vicinity map.
2. Please show pre-/post- drainage area maps. Also, show soil boundaries.
3. You’re showing site meets water quality requirements through a conserved Forest/Open
Space area. Show area of Forest/Open Space to be protected. Show in SWM narrative how
the site meets water quantity requirements.
4. You’re showing additional 0.72ac of impervious area post-development. It appears that
Qp(post-dev) > Qp(pre-dev); therefore some sort of detention/RR practice must be used.
You’re claiming the runoff will sheet flow. You may be able to demonstrate compliance
with VADEQ SWM Design Spec. No. 2.
5. Areas of Forest/Open space to be protected as undisturbed space (outside limits of
disturbance) & shall be protected as such in agreements, deed of dedication, and platted
within an easement.
6. SWM and Forest and Open Space agreements and easement must be recorded prior to
approval.
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. Show all existing easements with deed book references, locations & dims.
2. Sheet C4/C5 - Show existing contours. Show proposed contours tying into existing.
3. Show safety fence & tree protection as needed.
4. Show soil stockpile.
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;
