(a) Applicants must submit the following documentation to the permitting authority prior to construction:
(1) An Ohio EPA Construction General Permit notice of intent form.
(2) Site location map.
(3) A copy of the Ohio EPA Construction General Permit coverage letter. (This document must be submitted as soon as Ohio EPA grants coverage to facilitate an efficient review time.)
(4) Two copies of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWP3). One copy of the approved (SWP3) will be returned to the applicant.
(b) Criteria for the listed documentation must be the same as outlined in the most current Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Pollution Discharge Elimination (NPDES) General Storm Water Permit for Construction Activities. Within 21 calendar days of the receipt of all documentation, the permitting authority shall approve or disapprove the application for a sediment erosion control permit. A statement of disapproval shall include the reason therefore and shall identify the deficiencies in the documentation and shall state the procedures for filing a revised plan. Upon receipt of revised documentation, the plan reviewer shall respond with approval or disapproval within 21 calendar days. Applicants must show proof of being granted Ohio EPA Construction General Permit coverage before the review process can be completed. Final approval will be issued upon receipt of proof that an Ohio EPA NPDES General Storm Water Permit for Construction Activity permit has been granted. Once final approval has been made and a permit issued, any subsequent changes shall be approved in writing by the City Engineer.
