R 299.2942 Revisions to approved plans.

Rule 42. (1) The director shall approve deviations from approved plans or specifications affecting capacity, flow, isolation distances, or operation and maintenance of units before construction of the changes. Plans and specifications so revised must be submitted, along with the new application, well in advance of construction work that will be affected by the changes, to allow sufficient time for review and approval. Minor changes not affecting capacities, flows, isolation distances, or operation and maintenance of units may be verbally approved by the department. Minor modifications include, but are not limited to, a minor change of location of the sewer or locations of manholes. (2) If a person seeks confirmation of the department’s verbal approval of a minor modification under subrule (1) of this rule, the person shall notify the department electronically, at an address specified by the department, with a detailed description of the request for the modification. The department shall make reasonable efforts to respond within 2 business days, confirming whether the request has been approved or denied. If the department has not responded within 2 business days after the department receives the detailed description, the verbal approval must be considered confirmed. As-built plans clearly showing the work as constructed must be submitted to the department at the completion of the work
