Editor's Note: See 53 P.S. § 10101 et seq.
C. 
For any SWM site plan that proposes to use any BMPs other than green infrastructure and LID practices to achieve the volume and rate controls required under this Part 1, the Borough will not approve the SWM site plan unless it determines that green infrastructure and LID practices are not practicable.
D. 
If the Borough disapproves the SWM site plan, the Borough will state the reasons for the disapproval in writing. The Borough also may approve the SWM site plan with conditions and, if so, shall provide the acceptable conditions for approval in writing.
A modification to a submitted SWM site plan that involves a change in SWM BMPs or techniques, or that involves the relocation or redesign of SWM BMPs, or that is necessary because soil or other conditions are not as stated on the SWM site plan as determined by the Borough shall require a resubmission of the modified SWM site plan in accordance with this article.
A disapproved SWM site plan may be resubmitted, with the revisions addressing the Borough's concerns, to the Borough in accordance with this article. The applicable review fee must accompany a resubmission of a disapproved SWM site plan.
The Borough's approval of an SWM site plan authorizes the regulated activities contained in the SWM site plan for a maximum term of validity of five years following the date of approval. The Borough may specify a term of validity shorter than five years in the approval for any specific SWM site plan. Terms of validity shall commence on the date the Borough signs the approval for an SWM site plan. If an approved SWM site plan is not completed according to § 140-24 within the term of validity, then the Borough may consider the SWM site plan disapproved and may revoke any and all permits. SWM site plans that are considered disapproved by the Borough shall be resubmitted in accordance with § 140-22 of this Part 1.

B. 
The as-built submission shall include a certification of completion signed by a qualified professional verifying that all permanent SWM BMPs have been constructed according to the approved plans and specifications. The latitude and longitude coordinates for all permanent SWM BMPs must also be submitted, at the central location of the BMPs. If any licensed qualified professionals contributed to the construction plans, then a licensed qualified professional must sign the completion certificate.

After receipt of the completion certification by the Borough, the Borough may conduct a final inspection.
