D. 
The applicant shall submit the erosion and sediment pollution control plan directly to the Monroe County Conservation District for review and approval.
E. 
The Township shall review and approve the stormwater management site plan and the Monroe County Conservation District shall review and approve the erosion and sediment pollution control plan, prior to the final approval of any subdivision and/or land development plans or the issuance of any permits.

Should the Stormwater Management Plan be determined to be consistent with this chapter, the Township Engineer shall forward a letter of consistency to the Zoning Officer. The Zoning Officer is then authorized to issue permits if the development plan is also consistent with Chapter 160 (Zoning).
(2) 
Should the Stormwater Management Plan be determined to be inconsistent or noncompliant with this chapter the Township Engineer shall forward a letter to the Zoning Officer citing the reason(s) and specific Chapter sections involving inconsistency or noncompliance. The Zoning Officer will then notify the Applicant.

In no case shall the Township approve the as-built drawings until the Township receives a copy of an approved Declaration of Adequacy and/or Highway Occupancy Permit from the PennDOT District Office (if required), NPDES Permit, Consumptive Use Tracking Report, and any other applicable permits or approvals from PADEP or the Monroe County Conservation District. The above permits and approvals must be based on the as-built drawings. This means that if there are changes during construction, the as-built drawings must be submitted to the PADEP and the Monroe County Conservation District for an updated approval if this was not done previously.
All subdivision/land development or earth disturbance activities as specified in § 123-5E, except those specifically exempt from Stormwater Management plan submittal and review requirements specified in § 123-5F, shall be conducted only after Stormwater Management Plan approval.
