A.
The submission shall be reviewed by the municipality and Municipal
Engineer for consistency with the provisions of this ordinance.
B.
The municipality shall notify the applicant, in writing, within 45
days whether the SWM site plan is approved or disapproved. If the
submission also involves a subdivision and/or land development plan,
the notification shall occur within the time period allowed by the
Municipalities Planning Code,[1] and it shall further be coincident with any extensions,
approvals, or other schedule changes with the subdivision and/or land
development plan.
[1]
Editor's Note: See 53 P.S. § 10101 et seq.
C.
The municipality shall not approve any SWM site plan that is deficient in meeting the requirements of this ordinance or has not received all other permits/authorizations. At its sole discretion, when a submission is found to be deficient, the municipality may either disapprove the SWM site plan and require a resubmission per § 158-407 below or, in the case of minor deficiencies, the municipality may accept submission of modifications per § 158-406 below.
D.
If the municipality disapproves the SWM site plan, the municipality
will state the reasons for the disapproval in writing. The municipality
may also approve the SWM site plan with conditions and, if so, shall
provide the acceptable conditions for approval in writing.
A modification to a submission with minor deficiencies shall require a resubmission of the modified SWM site plan and report in full in accordance with this article. If modifications require updates to other components of the submission as determined by the municipality, including but not limited to the O&M agreement or further waiver requests, said components shall also be submitted. Any modifications shall renew the forty-five-day notification timeline as listed in § 158-405B above.
A disapproved SWM site plan may be resubmitted to the municipality
and Municipal Engineer, with the revisions addressing the municipality's
concerns, in accordance with this article. A resubmitted SWM site

showing the proposed modifications as required by the municipality.
Any modifications within the updated submission not matching the written
request are considered void.
Requests for modification shall follow the submission review process per § 158-405 above, including the payment of applicable fees. Modifications may not alter stormwater management facilities in a manner which significantly affects the discharge of stormwater to an adjacent property and/or significantly relocates a stormwater management facility within the project site; requests for modifications of this nature shall be treated as new submissions in accordance with this article.
The municipality reserves the sole right to deny requests for
modification and require new submissions in accordance with this article
upon review of the extent of the requested modifications.
The municipality's approval of a SWM site plan and issuance of a SWM permit authorizes the regulated activities contained in the SWM site plan for a maximum term of validity of five years following the date of approval. Terms of validity shall commence on the date the municipality issues the SWM permit. If an approved SWM site plan is not completed according to § 158-410 within the term of validity, then the municipality may consider the SWM site plan disapproved and may revoke any and all permits without the necessity of any proceedings for revocation. SWM site plans that are considered disapproved by the municipality shall be resubmitted in accordance with § 158-407 of this ordinance.
