Inspections, including but not limited to a final inspection, of all constructed BMPs, conveyances, or other stormwater facilities, and related improvements may be conducted by the Municipal Engineer or other designee to confirm compliance with this chapter and with the final approved SWM site plan prior to the issuance of any occupancy permit, use permit, or other form of final approval of the project by the municipality.
Upon completion of construction, every permanent stormwater BMP, conveyance or other stormwater facility constructed or used as part of the regulated activity shall be operated, maintained and inspected by the landowner, or other designated person, in accordance with the O&M plan and O&M agreement approved by the municipality.
The municipality or its designee may periodically inspect any permanent stormwater BMP, conveyance or facility for compliance with this chapter, an approved O&M plan, or an approved O&M agreement, per the provisions of Part 9.

The final as-built plans shall include a certification of completion signed and sealed by a qualified licensed professional verifying that all permanent BMPs and conveyances have been constructed according to the final approved SWM site plan and related approved construction plans, calculations and specifications.
All areas of the regulated activity draining to BMPs must be stabilized prior to submittal of the as-built plans.
After receipt of the as-built plans by the municipality, the municipality or its designee may review the as-built plans for consistency with this chapter, the final approved SWM site plan, other related approved construction plans, and subsequent approved revisions thereto, as well as actual conditions at the site, and the municipality may conduct a final inspection, as per § 23-501, Subsection 4.

Upon final acceptance of the final as-built plans by the municipality, the applicant shall review and, if required by the municipality, revise and re-record the O&M plan and the O&M agreement to reflect the final as-built conditions and information for each permanent BMP or conveyance, in accordance with the requirements of Part 7.
