               An operation and maintenance plan or manual shall be provided by the developer for
               each stormwater control structure, indicating what operation and maintenance actions
               are needed, what specific quantitative criteria will be used for determining when
               those actions are to be taken and, consistent with the operation and maintenance agreement,
               who is responsible for those actions. The plan shall clearly indicate the steps that
               will be taken for restoring a stormwater control structure to design specifications
               if a failure occurs.

               and of the time period to complete said improvements. The watershed administrator

               allows) designated by the planning board.

               landscape architect (to the extent that G.S. ch. 89A allows) and submitted to and
               reviewed by the planning department prior to consideration by the planning board.
