(A) As built plans. All applicants are required to submit actual as built plans for any structures located on-site within 90 days after final construction is completed. The plan must show the final design specifications for all stormwater management facilities and must be sealed by either a registered professional engineer or landscape architect licensed to practice in Tennessee. A sealed certification by the design engineer that all SCM's will function within design parameters as constructed shall accompany the as built plans. A final inspection by the city is required before any performance security or performance bond will be released. The city shall have the discretion to adopt provisions for a partial pro-rata release of the performance security or performance bond on the completion of various stages of development. In addition, occupation permits shall not be granted until corrections to all stormwater management facilities have been made and accepted by the city.
(B) In addition to the certified as built drawings, the city shall be provided with a permanent stormwater management plan for the site and all stormwater management facilities (e.g., SCM's). Occupation permits shall not be granted until the permanent stormwater management plan has been approved and accepted by the city.
(C) Inspection of stormwater management facilities. Periodic inspections of facilities shall be performed, documented, and reported in accordance with this chapter, as detailed in § 14-806.
(D) Records of installation and maintenance activities. Parties responsible for the operation and maintenance of a stormwater management facility shall make records of the installation of the stormwater facility, and of all maintenance and repairs to the facility, and shall retain the records for at least three years. These records shall be made available to the city during inspection of the facility and at other reasonable times upon request.
(E) Failure to meet or maintain design or maintenance standards. If a responsible party fails or refuses to meet the design or maintenance standards required for stormwater facilities under this chapter, the city, after notice as specified in the Enforcement Response Plan, may correct a violation of the design standards or maintenance needs by performing all necessary work to place the facility in proper working condition. In the event that the stormwater management facility becomes a danger to public safety or public health, the city shall notify in writing the party responsible for maintenance of the stormwater management facility. Upon receipt of that notice, the responsible person shall have 30 days to effect maintenance and repair of the facility in an approved manner. In the event that corrective action is not undertaken within that time, the city may take necessary corrective action. The cost of any action by the city under this section shall be charged to the responsible party.
(F) In the event that the stormwater management facility becomes a danger to public health/public safety, the city may take such immediate corrective action as deemed necessary.
