§ 54.13 OTHER PERMITS AND APPROVALS.
   The granting of a storm water permit only authorizes the discharge of storm water from the development for which the permit is required, subject to the terms of the permit. It shall not be deemed to approve other development, other land use activities, or replace other required permits. Examples of other permits or approvals that may be required include:
   (A)   The AHJ requires that property owners seek and obtain approval before tapping in to existing open drain or storm sewer. Approval must be requested at least 72-hours prior to tap-in.
   (B)   Site plan approval is required for certain activities under the AHJ’s zoning ordinance.
   (C)   The Isabella County Department of Community Development Permits Office is the county enforcing agent for Isabella County, and a permit must be obtained when applicable for Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control (SESC).
   (D)   The Isabella County Road Commission has or shares jurisdiction over drainage along county roads and county rights-of-way within Isabella County. Sites located along county road rights-of-way and discharging to Road Commission drainage systems must obtain a permit from the Road Commission. When a crossing is installed over a county roadside drain, a permit must be obtained from the Road Commission.
   (E)   The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has or shares jurisdiction over drainage along state highways and state rights-of-way within Isabella County. Sites located along MDOT rights-of-way and discharging to MDOT drainage systems must obtain a permit from MDOT.
   (F)   The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) has jurisdiction over proposed work within the 100-year floodplain, inland lake and stream areas, and wetland areas. A permit must be obtained for work proposed in these areas. In addition, the MDEQ is responsible for implementing the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) storm water permitting program.
