§ 1-7. Review of stormwater management plans.

A.

The Administrator shall review stormwater management plans and shall approve or disapprove a stormwater management plan according to the following:

1.

The Administrator shall determine the completeness of a plan submittal package in accordance with section 1-6 of this Ordinance, and shall notify the applicant, in writing, of such determination, within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt. If the plan is deemed to be incomplete, the above written notification shall contain the reasons the plan submittal package is deemed incomplete.

2.

The Administrator shall have an additional sixty (60) calendar days from the date of the communication of completeness to review the plan, except that if a determination of completeness is not made within the time prescribed in subdivision 1., then the plan shall be deemed complete and the Administrator shall have sixty (60) calendar days from the date of submission to review the plan.

3.

The Administrator shall review any plan that has been previously disapproved, within forty-five (45) calendar days of the date of resubmission.

4.

During the review period, the plan shall be approved or disapproved and the decision communicated in writing to the person responsible for the land-disturbing activity or his designated agent. If the plan is not approved, the reasons for not approving the plan shall be provided in writing. Approval or denial shall be based on the plan's compliance with the requirements of this Ordinance.

5.

If a plan meeting all requirements of this Ordinance is submitted and no action is taken within the time provided above in subdivision 2., the plan shall be deemed approved.

6.

All written correspondence shall be by email or facsimile unless requested otherwise in writing by the applicant.

B.

Approved stormwater plans may be modified as follows:

1.

Modifications to an approved stormwater management plan shall be allowed only after review and written approval by the Administrator. The Administrator shall have sixty (60) calendar days to respond in writing either approving or disapproving such request.

2.

The Administrator may require that an approved stormwater management plan be amended, within a time prescribed by the Administrator, to address any deficiencies noted during inspection.

C.

The Administrator shall require the submission of a construction record drawing for permanent stormwater management facilities and stormwater conveyance systems. The Administrator may elect not to require construction record drawings for stormwater management facilities and stormwater conveyance systems for which recorded maintenance agreements are not required pursuant to section 1-28. Prior to the release of the surety and final approval of the facility by the City a construction record drawing for permanent stormwater management facilities and stormwater conveyance systems shall be submitted, inspected and approved by the Administrator. The construction record drawing shall be appropriately sealed and signed by a professional registered in the Commonwealth of Virginia, certifying that the stormwater management facilities and stormwater conveyance systems have been constructed in accordance with the approved plan.
