Council approves MOA to make Loudoun County VESMP authority for the town
Summary
After staff and Loudoun County staff described scope and responsibilities, council amended the agenda to allow action and approved a memorandum of agreement making Loudoun County the town's Virginia erosion and stormwater management program authority and clarifying enforcement and maintenance roles.
Town staff and county representatives briefed council about a proposed memorandum of agreement under the revised Virginia code (effective 07/01/2025) that merges erosion, sediment control and stormwater functions. County presenters said the MOA would make Loudoun County the VESMP authority for the town and handle plan review, inspections and long-term maintenance where appropriate.
Council members asked whether floodplain mapping and grading around the Route 7690 interchange fall under the MOA; county staff clarified floodplain mapping is a separate process but that grading and post-construction stormwater responsibilities would be part of VESMP plan reviews. After a procedural question about whether the agenda item had been advertised as 'discussion only,' council amended the agenda and then voted to approve the MOA and the associated resolution.
