(a) If a SWP3 or Abbreviated SWP3 is required by this regulation, soil disturbing activities shall not be permitted until a cash bond or deposit has been deposited with the City Finance Department. The amount shall be $2,500 for one acre to five acres and $5,000 for more than five acres. The bond will be used for the City to perform the obligations otherwise to be performed by the Site Owner or Site Operator of the development area as stated in this regulation and to allow all work to be performed as needed in the event that the applicant fails to comply with the provisions of this regulation. The cash bond shall be returned, less administrative fees as detailed in Chapter 1334 of the Codified Ordinances, after all work required by this regulation has been completed and final stabilization has been reached, all as determined by the Administrator. In implementing these regulations, the Administrator or other City officials may consult with the local county SWCD, state and federal agencies and other technical experts as necessary. Any costs associated with such consultations may be assessed to the applicant or his or her designated representative.
(b) No project subject to this regulation shall commence without a SWP3 or Abbreviated SWP3 approved by the Administrator.
