SWM site plans shall be reviewed by the municipality for consistency
with the provisions of this chapter.

The municipality shall notify the applicant in writing within 45
days whether the SWM site plan is approved or disapproved. If the

A modification to a submitted SWM site plan that involves a
change in SWM BMPs or techniques, or that involves the relocation

conditions are not as stated on the SWM site plan as determined by
the municipality shall require a resubmission of the modified SWM
site plan in accordance with this article.
A disapproved SWM site plan may be resubmitted, with the revisions
addressing the municipality's concerns, to the municipality in
accordance with this article. The applicable review fee must accompany
a resubmission of a disapproved SWM site plan.
The municipality's approval of an SWM site 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. The municipality may specify a term of validity shorter than five years in the approval for any specific SWM site plan. Terms of validity shall commence on the date the municipality signs the approval for an SWM site plan. If an approved SWM site plan is not completed according to § 292-22 within the term of validity, then the municipality may consider the SWM site plan disapproved and may revoke any and all permits. SWM site plans that are considered disapproved by the municipality shall be resubmitted in accordance with § 292-20 of this chapter.

signed by a qualified professional verifying that all permanent SWM

After receipt of the completion certification by the municipality,
the municipality may conduct a final inspection.
