For the purpose of this chapter, the following definitions shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning.
COUNTY. Includes Floyd County, acting through its duly appointed, qualified, and acting advisory Plan Commission, together with the officers, employees, attorneys, and designees of said commission.
PERIMETER/OUTFALL PROTECTION PERMIT. A legal document that allows the permit holder to break ground or disturb soil in order to install sediment control practices at the hydro logic perimeter outfall(s) of a construction site. This document does not give permission to the permit holder to break ground or disturb soil on an entire construction site, as is granted through the issuance of a stormwater quality management permit.
PERSON. Except to the extent exempted from this section, any individual, partnership, firm, association, joint venture, public or private corporation, trust, estate, commission, board, public or private institution, utility, cooperative, city, county, or other political subdivision of the state, any interstate body, or any other legal entity.
QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL INSPECTOR. A person who has been certified by the county to be qualified to inspect stormwater quality management activities and oversee maintenance activities.
RESPONSIBLE PARTY. The person causing or permitting a prohibited act in violation of this section; or the person in control of, or having the right to control, the property or premises from which a prohibited act has occurred.
STORMWATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT PERMIT. A legal document that allows the permit holder to break ground or disturb soil on an entire construction site within the provisions of a Grading Plan and a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
(1) The PERMIT addresses erosion prevention, sediment control, and non-sediment pollution prevention activities. The plans for this PERMIT and the perimeter/outfall protection permit are approved simultaneously.
(2) However, the STORMWATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT PERMIT is only issued after the provisions of the perimeter/outfall protection permit have been implemented, inspected and accepted. Approval of plans for a STORMWATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT PERMIT does not constitute issuance of the permit.
