Erosion & Sediment Control Combined Administrator
20 East Gay Street, Harrisonburg, Va 22802
As the combined administrator I held three distinct rolls related to erosion and sediment control regulation and enforcement: inspector, plan reviewer, and administrator.As inspector I conducted regular inspections on active construction sites (agricultural, commercial, and residential) throughout the county ensuring that the developer is following the erosion and sediment control (E&SC) regulations put in place by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VADEQ) and by Rockingham County's E&SC Ordinance. If discrepancies were found I worked closely with the developer to get the site back into compliance.As plan reviewer I reviewed site plans submitted primarily for commercial and large agricultural construction to ensure that they met the standards and specifications set forth by the E&SC laws and regulations. This included checking the type, placement, and sizing of E&SC measures detailed on the site plan. In this position I was in frequent contact with those that prepare the plans (engineers, architects, etc.) working with them to guarantee that all requirements were met.As administrator I preformed tasks that were essential for the function of Rockingham County's E&SC program. It was my responsibility to organize and manage all information collected from the active construction projects requiring a Land Disturbance Permit throughout the county. I was one of the first faces a new developer saw when they came into the office to obtain the permits for their construction project. I worked diligently with them informing them of the regulations related to E&SC set forth by the County and the State answering any questions they may have had and provided them with the appropriate literature. Additionally, I worked with the public fielding any questions, concerns, or complaints they may have had related to E&SC.
