(a) Any portion of the permanent post construction water quality management systems that are constructed by the landowner/developer will be continuously maintained into perpetuity. The project landowner/developer is only required to maintain all temporary and permanent facilities throughout the construction process and until the final inspection and as-built documentation. At that time, maintenance responsibility will transfer to the controlling entity/operator (i.e. the person/parties named in the post construction maintenance plan). Workshops for these controlling entities will be made available through the Stark SWCD detailing the long-term responsibilities.
(b) The Stark SWCD will inspect post construction practices that fall under the categories in Table 2 of the Ohio EPA GCP. Separate Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with the City will outline the extent of these inspections and any applicable appropriations. Inspection reports, detailing the maintenance needs and a time line to compete them, will be sent to the City and person/parties responsible for long-term maintenance. The City administration shall ensure the work is done.
(c) An as built survey shall be submitted to the Stark SWCD and City engineer for all water quality structural practices prior to the Notice of Termination (N.O.T.) submittal and sealed by a professional surveyor or engineer licensed by the State of Ohio.
(d) Detail drawings and maintenance plans shall be provided to Stark SWCD and City engineer for all post-construction Best Management Practices (BMPs) prior to plan approval and shall include the following information:
(1) Cover sheet with site name and date.
(2) Name and number of the party or association responsible for post-construction long-term maintenance.
(3) List of all post-construction BMPs, structural and non-structural with all supporting design data.
(4) Instructions on how and when the practices are to be maintained along with an inspection schedule.
(5) A detailed drawing of the BMPs listed.
(6) A copy of any required easements and/or deed restrictions.
(e) Maintenance plans must ensure that pollutants collected within structural post construction BMP practices are disposed of in accordance with local, State and Federal guidelines.
