When must construction record drawings be submitted?

• A. Before permit termination.
• B. After permit termination.
• C. Before permit termination.
• D. Only upon request by the VSMP authority.

Answer: (A)

Submitting construction record drawings shows that the project’s final stormwater controls were installed as designed and are ready for closeout. These as-built drawings document the actual installed BMPs, drainage features, stabilization, and any deviations from the plans. They must be submitted to the VSMP authority before permit termination so the authority can review, verify compliance, and approve closing out the permit. If they’re submitted after termination, the permit would typically remain open or require reopening, since closeout actions depend on this submittal. While authorities may request records in some cases, the standard requirement is to provide them before termination.
