All reports, construction drawings, specifications and operation and maintenance manuals submitted to the department must be received at least 90 days prior to the date upon which action by the department is desired. If the plans and specifications are found to be incomplete or inadequate for detailed evaluation, the department will notify the party submitting the documents of the information necessary for a complete submittal within 30 days of receipt of the plans and specifications. If revisions to the plans or specifications are necessitated, a letter will be sent to the engineer who prepared them within 30 days of receipt outlining the necessary revisions. Revised plans or specifications constitute a resubmittal; therefore, additional time will be necessary for the review and technical evaluation (9VAC25-790-80 C). The owner may request the approval to begin construction prior to this notification in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. Preliminary plans and the engineer's report should be submitted for review and evaluation prior to the preparation of final plans unless the area engineer has agreed to omit this step in the evaluation process. One set of the approved plans and specifications will be stamped by the area engineer and returned to the owner.
