(A) The county will review each application to determine its conformance with the provisions of this chapter and the Indiana Stormwater Quality Manual. The county will follow the procedures outlined on the form. Upon review, the county shall, in writing:
(1) Approve the permit application;
(2) Approve the permit application, subject to such reasonable conditions as may be necessary to secure the objectives of this regulation, and issue the permit subject to these conditions; or
(3) Disapprove the permit application, indicating the reason(s) for disapproval, and the procedure for submitting a revised application and/or submission.
(B) After receiving approval, if revisions to the construction plans require a change in measures appropriate to control the quality or quantity of stormwater runoff, then revised plans must be submitted to the county.
(C) Assignment of responsibility for maintaining facilities serving more than one lot or holding shall be documented by appropriate covenants to property deeds, unless responsibility is formally accepted by a public body, and determined before the final stormwater approval is approved.
(D) The applicant may be required to file with the county a performance bond, letter of credit, or other improvement security in the amount deemed sufficient by the county to cover all costs of improvements, landscaping, and maintenance of improvements for such period as specified by the county, and engineering and inspection costs to cover the cost of failure to repair improvements installed on the project site.
(E) The performance bond will require periodic renewal since it must cover the perpetual maintenance and care of the permanent post-construction runoff control structure or system in place. The applicant will notify the county of the impending expiration of a performance bond and the issuance of a renewed performance bond.
