The SWM site plan shall provide the following information:
(1)

may otherwise be impacted by, the proposed regulated activity, including
but not limited to:
(a)
All existing natural resources, hydrologic features and drainage
patterns including natural waterways, water bodies, wetlands, streams
(intermittent and perennial), ponds, lakes, vernal pools, etc., natural
infiltration areas and patterns, areas of significant natural evapotranspiration,
and other water features and aquatic resources.
(b)
Any existing man-made drainage features, BMPs, conveyances,
facilities, open channels, swales, drainage patterns, or other flood,
stormwater or drainage control features.
(c)
For the site, discharge points and locations of concentrated
flows and their drainage areas.

For named waters, show names and their watershed boundaries
within the site.
(f)
For the water bodies, streams and wetlands identified in Subsection E(9)(a), label or otherwise show the following attributes, if applicable:

Four copies of the SWM site plan shall be submitted as follows:
A.
SWM site plans shall be reviewed by the municipality for consistency
with the provisions of this chapter.
B.
The municipality shall notify the applicant in writing within 45
days whether the SWM site plan is approved or disapproved. If a project
requires both a SWM site plan and a subdivision and land development
plan, the notification shall occur within the time period allowed
by the Municipalities Planning Code (90 days), unless an extension
for and approval of the SWM site plan, the subdivision and land development
plan, or both, has been granted by an applicant. If a longer notification
period is provided by other statute, regulation, or ordinance, the
applicant will be so notified by the municipality.
C.
For any SWM site plan that proposes to use any BMPs other than green
infrastructure and/or LID practices to achieve the volume and rate
controls required under this chapter, the municipality will not approve
the SWM site plan unless it determines that green infrastructure and/or
LID practices are not practicable.
D.
If the municipality disapproves the SWM site plan, the municipality
will state the reasons for the disapproval, including citations to
this chapter, in writing. The municipality also may approve the SWM
site plan with conditions and, if so, shall provide the acceptable
conditions for approval in writing.
A modification to a submitted SWM site plan that involves a
change in SWM BMPs or techniques, or that involves the relocation
or redesign of SWM BMPs, or that is necessary because soil or other
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 and such shorter term of validity shall be noted in writing to applicant as a condition of plan approval; provided, however, that if not so noted, the term of validity shall be five years. 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 § 188-30 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 § 188-28 of this chapter.
A.
The developer shall be responsible for providing as-built plans of
all SWM BMPs included in the approved SWM site plan. The as-built
plans and an explanation of any discrepancies with the construction
plans shall be submitted to the municipality.
B.
The as-built submission shall include a certification of completion
signed by a qualified professional verifying that all permanent SWM
BMPs have been constructed according to the approved plans and specifications.
The latitude and longitude coordinates for all permanent SWM BMPs
must also be submitted, at the central location of the BMPs. If any
licensed qualified professionals contributed to the construction plans,
then a licensed qualified professional must sign the completion certificate.
C.
After receipt of the completion certification by the municipality,
the municipality may conduct a final inspection.
