(a) Permit issuance. P&D shall issue a permit to the applicant after verifying that all applicable conditions of this ordinance and possibly other related permits have been met, including the submittal of contact information for all responsible parties. P&D may delay issuance of an erosion control permit if P&D determines that the proposed construction timelines and best management practices will not comply with the erosion control plan requirements under Section 17.15-5 or the purposes of the ordinance under Section 17.15-1 and 17.15-2, including proposed late season new road construction with grass swales.

(b) Permit duration. P&D shall establish an expiration date for all erosion control permits based on the construction schedules agreed upon by the Contractor or Engineer and Owner/ Developer. The applicant shall notify P&D of any changes to the proposed schedule prior to permit issuance. Any erosion control permit that has expired prior to permit termination is subject to enforcement action in accordance with Section V.

(c) Permit extensions. P&D may amend any terms of an erosion control permit, including extending the permit expiration date, if P&D determines it is necessary to ensure compliance with this ordinance. The applicant shall request an extension to an erosion control permit at least 10 working days before permit expiration. Any extension shall meet the requirements of Section 17.14-2(b). P&D may require additional erosion control measures as a condition of granting a permit amendment.

(d) Permit transfer. P&D may transfer an erosion control permit issued under this ordinance to a new applicant upon a written request from the applicant. The permit transfer shall not take effect until P&D verifies in writing that the new applicant has satisfied all conditions of this ordinance, including an updated list of responsible parties. Any minor plan revisions, as determined by P&D, requested by the new applicant must be approved prior to construction in accordance with Sec. 17.14-1(c). Any major plan revisions, as determined by P&D, requested by the new applicant will require a new stormwater permit in which case the new applicant shall comply with Sec. III.B.

(e) Permit termination. P&D shall issue a notice of termination to the permit holder which shall serve as documentation that all conditions of this ordinance have been satisfied and the permit has been terminated. [Code § 17.14-2.]
