Reviewers: Emily Cox
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 items 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. Provide a signed registration statement.
2. Provide a signed certification.
3. Clarify total disturbed area. Registration statement and narrative say 2.75 AC, however Sheet 4 of
the plan says 3.25 AC and the nature of activity says 3.33 AC.
B. Pollution Prevention Plan (PPP)
The PPP content requirements can be found in County Code section 17-404.
1. The PPP shows disturbance outside of the limit of construction shown on the plans (the parking,
staging, and porta-pottie area). Revise the E&S plan to include perimeter controls for this area.
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. Provide the VRRM spreadsheet showing that no nutrient reduction is necessary.
2. Provide additional note on Sheet 3 stating that stormwater quantity and quality requirements are
met.

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 the wash rack and area for water/sediment to settle out at the construction entrance.
2. Provide diversion dikes to direct water to the sediment basin.
3. Show outlet protection detail on plans.
4. Show trash rack detail on plans.
5. Sheet 2 shows an existing stockpile, however contours do not indicate a stockpile? Please show
correct existing conditions on this sheet.
6. Sheet 4 shows only an existing stockpile area, not proposed. Is the stockpile area going to get
bigger? Ensure the entire proposed stoockpile area is shown on this plan. Ensure the perimeter
controls and limits of grading are outside of this area.
7. Clarify the final stabilization plan. Provide note stating that 2:1 is the maximum slope for the final
grading plan.
8. The baffle calculations do not match the length and width labeled on the plan view. Please clarify.
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.
