Such plan and the required Notice of Intent shall be submitted to the City Civil Engineer in lieu of the SWPPP.
(2) The SWPPP should be presented in a format consistent with the articles of Rule 5 (327 I.A.C. 15-5) and should clearly portray the methods and means whereby erosion and sediment control measures are implemented. Plan sheets shall not exceed 24-inch by 36-inch dimensions.
