Document, alterations to the site and the site plan may be required as prescribed by the
Director of Community Development to the WQMP. The aforementioned documents are
available for download at http:// www.ocwatersheds.com /WQMP.aspx. Any significant
alteration to the site plan due to the Final WQMP may then require approval of the
Council of the revised site plan. Additionally, as required under the NPDES Permit,
attention is directed that the WQMP must identify a responsible party and implement
funding sources for maintaining any treatment controls as required as part of the
development and must ensure that appropriate easements and ownerships are properly
recorded in public records and access is made available for inspection of said devices.
