Following any submission of a scour and accretion monitoring and mitigation plan under paragraph 17(2), the approval process in paragraph 5 shall apply to such submission as if it were a submission under paragraph 5(1) and the “specified day” shall be the first business day on which such submission is received by the Authority under paragraph 17(2).
