When a project has been completed, the person holding the permit shall petition the Planning Department, in writing, for approval of erosion control measures, which are to remain on the site. The Planning Department shall subsequently inspect the site to evaluate the adequacy of these control measures.
(A) If the erosion control measures are approved, the surety bond shall be released promptly. However, any maintenance responsibilities shall remain with the person owning or occupying the land.
(B) If the erosion measures are not approved, the Planning Department shall notify, in writing, the person holding the permit, regarding the unacceptable features. After a minimum period of two weeks during which corrective measures are taken, a petition, again in writing, may be sent asking for the Planning Department to evaluate the adequacy of the erosion control measures. If, in good faith, the Planning Department again decides that the erosion control measures are inadequate, the city shall delay the release of the surety bond for up to two months. After two months or longer has elapsed without corrective measures taken, the Planning Department shall use the surety bond to finance changes or additions to the erosion control measures needed to complete the project.
