(A) All stormwater management plans and BMP construction plans and specifications shall be subject to review and approval by the City Engineer in order to ensure conformance with the requirements of this chapter and the associated current Wayne County Stormwater Control Program.
(B) Upon submission of a stormwater management plan (stormwater plan) and BMP construction plans and specifications, as provided herein, the plan shall be reviewed by the City Engineer and a written response prepared and submitted to the city planning office. If the proposed plan is not sufficient as originally submitted, the City Engineer will notify the applicant in writing, setting forth the reasons for withholding a recommendation for approval, and stating the changes necessary to obtain approval. Failure of the owner to ultimately demonstrate that the project meets requirements, as determined by the city, shall be reason to deny approval of the stormwater plan and BMP construction plans and specifications.
(C) Before approval of the final stormwater BMP construction plans, copies of all necessary wetland, floodplain, inland lakes and streams, erosion control or other needed state, federal, or local permits relating to stormwater management have been provided by the applicant for the city’s files.
(D) A satisfactory maintenance agreement in accordance with § 55.18 of this chapter that assures long-term maintenance of all drainage improvements will be in place before approval of the stormwater plan and BMP construction plans and specifications. Documentation of the maintenance agreement will be submitted and approved by the City Engineer.
(E) A soil erosion and sedimentation control permit shall not be issued under the city code unless the detailed stormwater plan and BMP construction plans and specifications meet the standards of this chapter and the associated current Wayne County Stormwater Control Program.
(F) For developments that will result in disturbance of five or more acres of land, a complete notice of coverage for construction-phase stormwater must be submitted to EGLE, Water Resources Division, to have the discharge authorized under a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination system permit.
(G) The applicant will make arrangements acceptable to the City Engineer for inspection during construction and for final verification of the construction of all permanent stormwater BMPs by a professional engineer registered in the State of Michigan. Following final verification of the construction by a registered professional engineer, the completion bond required consistent with § 55.03(D) of this chapter will be released by the city.
(H) Electronic files of the as-built storm drains and stormwater BMPs will be submitted by the applicant, or his or her engineer, to the City Engineer, along with the final plan for existing systems, or upon completion of system construction for new systems.
(I) Complete development agreements (including deed restrictions) must be submitted to the city for review and approval prior to recording.
