(A) Permittee-performed inspections.
(1) The permittee-performed inspections (self inspections) shall be performed by a qualified professional.
(2) Documentation of owner performed inspections and inspection findings shall be kept on site, if appropriate facilities are available.
(3) Documentation of owner performed inspections and inspection findings shall be made available within two business days for construction and seven days for post-construction of a request by the city or designated representative. Failure to timely submit documentation, as requested, will be assumed to indicate that inspections were not performed and may result in corresponding enforcement procedures.
(4) Post-construction inspections: inspection and maintenance shall be performed at storm water quality BMPs on at least an annual basis and as otherwise determined in the long-term operation and maintenance agreement.
(B) Oversight inspections.
(1) The city, or the city’s designated representative, has the authority to randomly and periodically inspect the storm water quality BMPs. The city may make inspections of the site at its discretion and shall either approve the condition of the BMP or shall notify the Permittee wherein the condition fails to comply with the approved SWQMP.
(2) The city or its designated representative’s inspections and findings will be presented and reviewed with the permittee at the time of inspection (if site personnel are available), and be available in the city public records.
(3) The city shall identify in writing any measures with deficiencies or that are not in compliance with the objectives of this chapter and the SWQMP permit. A sight inspection will be mailed to the responsible person for the site listing all deficiencies for the sight. The permittee shall repair all deficiencies within seven calendar days after deficiencies or failures have been identified.
