Sec. 22-12. Mandatory standards for new developments.
   Persons who fail to comply with these regulations after they have received notice from the village will be subject to a $500.00 fine for each violation and other actions or penalties as may be authorized by the village.
   (1)   Developments that require state certification.
      a.   For developments that are one acre or larger and for non-residential developments with a built-upon area or more than 10,000 square feet, the state will require a stormwater certification or permit from the Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources. The developer must submit a copy of the stormwater certification or permit to the village manager.
      b.   The Division of Water Quality may require a wetland 401 water quality certification and/or a dredge and fill permit. If so, the developer must submit copies of the permit application and the permit to the village manager.
      c.   Developments that infringe upon state-defined areas of environmental concern (AEC) will require either a CAMA major from the Division of Coastal Management or a CAMA minor permit from the village manager. If a CAMA major permit is required, then the developer must submit a copy of the permit application and the approved permit to the village manager.
   (2)   Developments that do not require state certification. A development which disturbs less than one acre, with a built-upon area of 10,000 square feet or less for non- residential development, and does not infringe upon any state-defined areas of environmental concern will usually not require state certification. However, such developments will be subject to the following requirements:
      a.   All requirements set forth in section 22-11 of this chapter.
      b.   When it is feasible, lots which are adjacent to waterways should be graded so that they drain away from the waterway. Bulkheads that have received the necessary approvals may be installed to accomplish this.
      c.   Direct outlet channels to surface waters are prohibited, except discharging of stormwater ponding by persons or entities permitted by the state or federal government and approved by the village will be allowed.
   (3)   Village requirements.
      a.   The village manager and the village building inspector have the authority to monitor development projects to ensure that developers comply with the state permits mentioned in this section. The village shall also have the authority to levy fines when the state permits have been violated.
      b.   The developer must submit a signed and notarized operation and maintenance plan or manual for stormwater systems, 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 who is responsible for those actions to the village manager.
      c.   Where no stormwater collection system exists, site grading shall not be done in such a manner that stormwater runoff is directed onto adjoining lots.
      d.   Roadway drainage systems and stormwater control systems must be designed by a professional engineer licensed in the state.
