(a) The SWM Site Plan shall be reviewed by a qualified professional for the Municipality for consistency with the provisions of this chapter. After review, the qualified professional shall provide a written recommendation for the Municipality to approve or disapprove the SWM Site Plan. If it is recommended to disapprove the SWM Site Plan, the qualified professional shall state the reasons for the disapproval in writing. The qualified professional also may recommend approval of the SWM Site Plan with conditions and, if so, shall provide the acceptable conditions for approval in writing. The SWM Site Plan review and recommendations shall be completed within the time allowed by the Municipalities Planning Code for reviewing subdivision and land development plans.
(b) The Municipality shall notify the applicant in writing within 45 calendar days whether the SWM Site Plan is approved or disapproved. If the SWM Plan involves a Subdivision or Land Development Plan, the notification period is 90 days. If a longer notification period is provided by other statute, regulation, or ordinance, the applicant will be so notified by the Municipality. If the Municipality disapproves the SWM Plan, the Municipality shall cite the reasons for disapproval in writing.
(c) The Municipality's approval of a SWM Site Plan shall be valid for a period not to exceed five years. This five-year period shall commence on the date that the Municipality signs the approved SWM Site Plan. If storm water management facilities included in the approved SWM Site Plan have not been constructed, or if a record drawing of these facilities has not been approved within this five-year time period, 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 this chapter.
