				340-052-0040,
				all plans and specifications along with other data submitted for a proposed
				construction, installation, or modification project involving disposal systems,
				treatment works, sewerage systems or common sewers shall first be submitted to
				the Department for review. No construction, installation or modification shall
				be commenced until the plans and specifications submitted to the Department are
				approved. Plans and other information to be submitted shall constitute a
				complete descriptive proposal, including, but not limited to, the
				following:
(1) For all projects:
(a) The name of person or firm submitting the
			 project;
(b) Project location by
			 county and nearest city;
(c) The
			 name of the project and/or project developer; or a written description of the
			 project for industrial/commercial facilities;
(d) The name of the person who will own,
			 operate and maintain the completed project;
(e) The name of the person who will provide
			 construction engineering/inspection services and certify construction
			 inspection under OAR
			 340-052-0040  for (domestic) sewage projects if other than the design engineer;
(f) At least two sets of plans and
			 specifications. (Three sets of final bid documents shall be submitted for a
			 project to receive EPA grant assistance.) Plans and specifications shall be
			 complete to the extent that a contractor qualified in the type of work could be
			 reasonably expected to construct it with minimal direction by the engineer. In
			 accordance with ORS Chapter 672 plans and specifications shall be prepared
			 under the supervision of and signed by a registered professional engineer
			 unless exempted under ORS 672.060 (i.e., company engineer designing certain
			 industrial facilities);
(g) An
			 affirmative written statement from the appropriate jurisdiction that the
			 proposed project for new or expanded facilities is compatible with the Land
			 Conservation and Development Commission acknowledged local comprehensive plan,
			 ordinances and zoning requirements or Land Conservation and Development
			 Commission statewide planning goals under ORS Chapter 197:
(A) Where the jurisdiction submitting a
			 proposed project to the Department for approval under these rules is the sole
			 jurisdiction that is responsible for the affirmative statement of
			 compatibility, the Department will not require the written statement. In such
			 case, submittal of construction plans to the Department shall be deemed
			 evidence that the jurisdiction is in compliance with its own requirements or
			 Land Conservation and Development Commission goals;
(B) Where more than one local jurisdiction
			 has planning authority over the specific project, statements of compatibility
			 from each of these jurisdictions (e.g., city, county, and regional planning
			 jurisdictions) shall be submitted to the Department;
(C) Where special districts are proposing
			 projects, the appropriate county and/or city would prepare such
			 statements;
(D) Statements of
			 compatibility for master sewerage plans or portions thereof may be submitted in
			 advance covering area wide sewering in lieu of statements on a
			 project-by-project basis.
