Where the applicant submits revisions to a previously submitted SWM site plan, either because the applicant has elected to revise the SWM site plan or as a result of a determination by Bonneauville Borough that a revision is necessary to meet the requirements of this chapter, this forty-five-day period shall be restarted. Should Bonneauville Borough fail to render a decision on the SWM site plan within this forty-five-day time period, the application shall be deemed approved. The review process shall include the following components.
(a) 
Intake.

Upon receipt, the municipal official accepting the SWM site plan forwards a copy of the plan to the municipal engineer and Adams County Conservation District. The official accepting the SWM site plan will also include the application on the agenda for the next available Planning Commission meeting.
[2] 
For projects requiring a general NPDES permit for the discharge of stormwater from a construction activity, the applicant shall provide municipal engineer and Conservation District with complete NPDES permit package submission as per DEP requirements. Upon the Conservation District's completion and approval of the administrative permit review, the Conservation District shall provide in writing to applicant and municipal engineer, a cover letter of said approval. The approval letter will also inform the applicant as to the remaining process in obtaining the right to use the General NPDES permit.

Once the municipality has completed its technical review, the municipality will notify the Conservation District and recommend that the Conservation District proceed with the general NPDES permit process. When both the erosion and sediment control review is completed by the Conservation District and the technical review is completed by the municipality, the District will acknowledge the use of the general NPDES permit.

A. 
SWM site plans not submitted as a component of a subdivision and/or land development plan. Bonneauville Borough approval of a SWM site plan, when such plan is not submitted as a component of a subdivision and/or land development plan, authorizes the regulated activities contained in the SWM site plan for a maximum term of validity of five years following the date of approval. Bonneauville Borough may specify a term of validity shorter than five years in the decision notification for any specific SWM site plan, particularly if the nature of the proposed SWM facilities requires more frequent maintenance and/or short-term replacement of certain components. Terms of validity shall commence on the date Bonneauville Borough signs the decision notification for an SWM site plan. If an approved SWM site plan is not completed according to § 204-29 within the term of validity, Bonneauville Borough, and if a request to extend the permit has not been submitted to Bonneauville Borough by the applicant, the permit terminates and Bonneauville Borough may revoke any and all permits applicable to the project.

Editor's Note: See Ch. 220, Subdivision and Land Development.
A. 
The stormwater management facilities constructed in accordance with a SWM site plan not submitted as a component of a subdivision and/or land development plan shall be subject to the following process upon the completion of construction of said facilities.
(1) 
The property owner or developer shall contact Bonneauville Borough within seven days of the completion of the construction process to schedule a final inspection. The final inspection shall be conducted by the Bonneauville Borough.
(2) 
The Bonneauville Borough may inspect the completed improvements to confirm consistency with the approved SWM site plan. Following the inspection, if any, the Bonneauville Borough may take one of the following two actions.
(a) 
Issue a completion certificate. A completion certificate may be issued when the Bonneauville Borough determines that the stormwater management facilities have been constructed in conformance with the approved SWM site plan.
(b) 
Issue correspondence regarding discrepancies. If Bonneauville Borough determines that the stormwater management facilities have not been constructed in accordance with the approved SWM site plan, Bonneauville Borough shall issue correspondence addressed to the property owner or developer summarizing the discrepancies from the approved SWM site plan. Such correspondence does not by itself constitute an extension of any applicable SWM permit.
(3) 
Upon receipt of correspondence summarizing discrepancies in the constructed stormwater facilities, the property owner or developer shall apply for permit extensions when necessary, and take one of the following two actions.
(a) 
Reconstruct the required stormwater management facilities in a manner that complies with the approved SWM site plan. Upon completion of the reconstruction work, the property owner or developer shall contact the municipality for a subsequent final inspection in accordance with the process established in § 204-29A(1).
(b) 
Submit a revised SWM site plan in accordance with the process established in § 204-26A. The revised SWM site plan shall be consistent with the improvements as constructed. Upon receipt, Bonneauville Borough may review the revised SWM site plan in accordance with the review and approval process of § 204-25. If the revised SWM site plan is approved, Bonneauville Borough shall issue the completion certificate. If the revised SWM site plan fails to demonstrate that the constructed stormwater management facilities can comply with the requirements of this chapter, Bonneauville Borough may then require the property owner or developer to reconstruct the required stormwater facilities in accordance with the originally approved SWM site plan. If the revised SWM site plan is approved, Bonneauville Borough shall then issue the completion certificate.
(4) 
Within 15 days of the completion certificate, the property owner or developer shall submit to Bonneauville Borough an as-built plan depicting the stormwater management facilities as constructed. If requested by the applicant, Bonneauville Borough may grant an extension of the deadline to submit as-built plans.
B. 
The stormwater management facilities constructed in accordance with a SWM site plan submitted as a component of a subdivision and/or land development plan shall be subject to the completion of improvements requirements of Bonneauville Borough Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance[1] and Sections 509 through 511 of the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code.[2]
