How long is an SWMP approval valid?
A SWMP revision must be submitted to the City when there are significant changes at a property that are not covered by a previously approved SWMP. To determine if a change is significant, the owner should contact the City’s Storm Water Manager, Mr. Nader Jaber, at 414-286-0514. In addition, a registered professional engineer must prepare a recertification submittal for the SWMP every five years. The purpose of the recertification is to document that the best management practices prescribed in the SWMP are being maintained and that any changes to the property have been addressed by approved revisions to the SWMP. The form that must be completed to perform a recertification is available for download on this website. There are no City fees associated with a SWMP recertification, however, an instrument of financial guarantee is required to ensure maintenance of any best management practices.
