Greene County - E&S Plan Check List

Following is a checklist of the necessary components of all erosion and sediment control and stormwater management plans. Erosion and Sediment Control and Stormwater Management requirements for Greene County can be found in Article III Erosion and Sediment Control and Stormwater Management, adopted August 8, 2000, and revised January 9, 2007, Section 38-71 through Section 38-79 of the Greene County Code. A copy is attached for reference. This check list must be completed and signed by the plan preparer and must accompany all erosion and sediment control and stormwater management plans submitted to Greene County for review. If you have questions, feel free to call the office at 434-985-5204.

Order forms for Copies of the 1992 Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook, the 1996 Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Regulations (4VAC50-30), 1999 Virginia Stormwater Management Handbook, and the 1998 Virginia Stormwater Management Regulations (4VAC3-20) may be obtained from the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation web site at http://www.dcr.state.va.us/forms.htm - sw (or call DCR at 804-371-7489).

A. Minimum Standards:

____ Each of the 19 Minimum Standards of the 1996 Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control. Regulations must be satisfied. If a Minimum Standard is not addressed with specific practices in the plan, the intent to satisfy that standard must be documented in writing. All requests for variances from these Minimum Standards must be submitted in writing.

B. Narrative:

(The narrative is as much a part of the plan as is the site plan. Contractors should be made aware of all activities and specifications addressed in the narrative.)

____ 1. Project description - Describe the nature and purpose of the land disturbing activity, the amount of grading involved, and the number of disturbed acres (including areas disturbed by equipment traffic & off-site areas).

____ 2. Existing site conditions - Describe topography, vegetation, and drainage patterns.

____ 3. Adjacent areas - Describe areas such as streams, lakes, residential areas, roads, etc., which might be affected by the land disturbance.

____ 4. Soil descriptions - Document soil names, erodibility, permeability, depth, texture, and hydrologic group of each soil.

____ 5. Critical areas - Describe areas that have the potential to present erosion or water quality problems due to the land disturbance.

____ 6. Erosion and sediment control measures - Describe the structural and/or non-structural practices that will be used to control erosion & sedimentation. CALCULATIONS used in designing all structural practices must be included. All practices must be designed in accordance with the VIRGINIA EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL HANDBOOK. All requests for variances from these specifications must be submitted in writing.

____ 7. Stormwater management measures - Describe the structural and/or non-structural practices that will be used to control post-development runoff in accordance with the Greene County Stormwater Management Ordinance adopted January 9, 2007. CALCULATIONS used in designing all stormwater measures (including verification of the adequacy of all pipes & channels) must be included. All measures must be designed in accordance with the VIRGINIA EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL AND STORMWATER MANAGEMENT HANDBOOKS. All requests for variances from these specifications must be submitted in writing.

____ Water Quantity Control (volume & velocity)

____ Water Quality Control – Per the Greene County Ordinance Article III Sec. 38-75

____ 8. Permanent and temporary stabilization (vegetative and non-vegetative) - Describe how each portion of the site will be stabilized after construction is completed and during construction if warranted.

____ 9. Soil stockpiles and borrow areas - Describe how such areas will be protected during construction and the intentions for final stabilization of such areas.

____ 10. Construction schedule – A detailed sequence of construction must be documented.

____ 11. Maintenance schedule for erosion and sediment control practices - A schedule of regular inspections (at least weekly and after every rainfall) and repair of erosion and sediment control structures must be set forth.

____ 12. Maintenance agreement – A copy of the maintenance agreement for all permanent stormwater management practices must be provided for plan approval.

C. SITE PLAN:

____ 1. Name and phone number of “Responsible Land Disturber” – This person must hold a valid “Responsible Land Disturber Certificate” from the Va. Department of Conservation and Recreation, and must be the member of the project or development team who will be in charge of and responsible for carrying out the land disturbing activity for the project.

____ 2.Vicinity map - Include a small map locating the site in relation to the surrounding area (specific enough to allow a person unfamiliar with the area to find the site). Include a description of access to the area if necessary.

____ 3. Scale of plan - The scale of the plan must be noted and must be of sufficient size to clearly convey the characteristics of the site and control measures.

____ 4. Existing contours - Contour interval must be five (5) feet or less.

____ 5. Existing vegetation - Tree lines, grassy areas, and unique vegetation must be shown.

____ 6. Soils - The boundaries of different soil types must be delineated.

____ 7. North arrow - A directional arrow must be noted.

____ 8. Critical areas - Areas which have the potential to present serious erosion or water quality problems must be delineated.

____ 9. Pre- and post-development drainage areas - Dividing lines, number of acres, and the direction of flow for each drainage area before and after development must be shown. Use separate plan sheets for clarity.

____ 10. Final contours - Changes to the existing contours must be shown. Use road profiles for road construction.

____ 11. Limits of disturbance - Areas to be cleared or graded and areas to be disturbed by construction traffic must be outlined.

____ 12. Location of practices - The locations of the erosion and sediment control and stormwater management practices to be used on the site must be shown. Erosion and sediment control practices must be shown using the symbols from the 1992 Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook. Stormwater management practices must be shown using the Minimum Standard numbers from the 1999 Virginia Stormwater Management Handbook.

____ 13. Detail drawings and specifications for structural practices - Any structural practices used must be illustrated with DETAILED DRAWINGS CONTAINING ALL DIMENSIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS. Practices must conform to the specifications of the 1992 Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook and the 1999 Virginia Stormwater Management Handbook.

____ 14. Specifications for vegetative practices - Include all SPECIFICATIONS for seed, lime, fertilizer, mulch, and blankets or matting for vegetative stabilization (temporary and permanent).

____ 15. Soil stockpiles and borrow areas - The locations of stockpiles and borrow areas must be shown with adequate protection measures included. If these locations are off-site, an addendum to the plan must be submitted to show the areas.
