(A) Initial Inspection. The Permit holder shall notify the City Engineer when initial Erosion and Sediment Control measures are installed in accordance with the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan. No Land Disturbance activities shall begin prior to approval from the City Engineer that all pre-construction Erosion and Sediment Control measures are correctly installed per the approved Plan. The Contractor shall maintain on the job-site at all times the City-approved Erosion and Sediment Control Plan and the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan as approved by the KDHE under the Notice of Intent. Failure to maintain these records on site will be grounds for a Stop Work Order.

(B) Maintenance of Control Measures. All prescribed Erosion and Sediment Control measures shall be maintained in good order and in compliance with the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan at all times.

(C) Routine Inspection. It shall be the duty of the Permit holder to routinely inspect the construction site and maintain effective Erosion and Sediment Control measures. Routine inspections shall be performed once per month or more frequently if required on the Plan and within twenty-four hours following each rainfall event of 1/2" or more within any twenty-four hour period. A log shall be kept of these inspections. Any deficiencies shall be noted in a report of the inspection and include the action taken to correct the deficiency. Inspection reports shall be kept on site as part of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and submitted to the City Engineer upon request. The inspection report shall include the following minimum information:

(D) The City Engineer may also perform inspections of the Land Disturbance site to verify compliance with the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan. Should it be found that Erosion and Sediment Control methods are ineffective or are not being maintained properly, the City Engineer may take enforcement actions described within this Chapter.

(E) Closure of Land Disturbance Activities. Once the Land Disturbance site is stabilized a final inspection shall be requested by the Applicant. The Land Disturbance site shall be considered stabilized when Perennial Vegetation, pavement, buildings or structures using permanent materials, cover all areas that have been disturbed. Perennial Vegetation shall be considered established and completed for stabilization when it has established a healthy and growing stand with a density of at least 70 percent of undisturbed areas at the site.

(F) Removal of Temporary Erosion and Sediment Control Measures. Subsequent to a satisfactory final inspection of the Land Disturbance, all temporary Erosion and Sediment Control measures must be removed and the final segments of the Storm Sewer System shall be constructed in the manner described within the approved plans. Such removal shall be complete prior to closure of the Permit which authorized the Land Disturbance. (Ord. 09-25 § 2, 2009.)
