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 or her designated agent. If the plan is not approved, the reason for not approving shall be provided in writing. Approval or denial shall be based on the plan's complaince with the requirements of this article.

If a plan meeting all requirements of this article is sumitted and no action is taken within the time provided in subsection (2) above for review, the plan shall be deemed approved.

(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 or "as-built" plans for permanent stormwater management facilities. The administrator may elect not to require construction record drawings for stormwater management facilities for which recorded maintenance agreements are not required pursuant to this article.

(d)

"As-built" plans are required for any stormwater management conveyance and facilities upon completion of construction. The plan must show the final design specifications for all stormwater management facilities and must be certified by a professional engineer in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Acceptance of the as-built and a final inspection by the town are required before the release of any performance securities can occur. A professional engineer shall certify all aspects of the BMP construction, including as-built surveys, as well as geotechnical inspections during subsurface or backfilling, riser and principal spillway installation, bioretention soil placement and compaction activities. If the inspection certification is not performed by the professional engineer who certified the final design specifications, the inspection certification must include certification of the final design specifications.
