(A) The MS4 operator, or designated representative, will review each application for a site development permit to determine its conformance with the provisions of this chapter. Within 28 days after receiving an application, the MS4 operator or designated representative shall approve, approve with conditions, or disapprove the application. Possible actions are further defined as:
(1) Approve. The permit application is found to be completely consistent with the requirement within this chapter, therefore, the MS4 operator shall issue a Notice of Plan Approval (NPA);
(2) Approve with conditions. The permit application is generally consistent with the requirements within this chapter, but specific minor modifications are required to meet all of the applicable requirements. Therefore, the MS4 operator shall issue the permit subject to these written conditions along with a Conditional Notice of Plan Approval (CNPA); or
(3) Disapprove. The permit application does not meet the requirements of this chapter and requires modifications that would result in significant changes to the construction plan. Therefore, the MS4 operator shall disapprove the application indicating the reason(s) and procedure for submitting a revised application and/or submission.
(B) Failure of the MS4 operator or designated representative to act on an original or revised application within 28 days of receipt shall authorize the applicant to proceed in accordance with the plans as filed unless such time is extended by agreement between the applicant and the MS4 operator.
(C) The developer must include the NPA or CNPA as verification of plan approval with the Notice of Intent (NOI) sent to the Director of IDEM in accordance with 327 IAC 15-5-5 or 327 IAC 15-5-6 at least 48 hours prior to land-disturbing activities.
(D) The developer shall be required to submit a copy of the NOI to the MS4 operator. The permit shall be valid until:
(1) The permit is terminated under § 161.07.
(2) The permit is transferred under § 161.06(C).
(3) The permit is revoked under § 161.06(A)(2).
