Approvals .

A. Effect of Approval . Approval authorizes the applicant to go forward with only the specific plans and activities authorized in the permit. The approval shall not be construed to exempt the applicant from obtaining other applicable approvals from local, state, and federal authorities.

B. Time Limit/Expiration .

i. Plan Null & Void . An approved plan shall become null and void if the applicant has failed to make substantial progress on the site within one (1) year after the date of approval of the permit.

Extension . In granting an extension, the Stormwater Administrator may require compliance with standards adopted since the original application was submitted unless there has been substantial reliance on the original permit and the change in standards would infringe on the applicant's vested rights, if any.
