(A) The facilities for the control of storm water runoff shall be constructed prior to, if possible, the start of any construction or during the earliest possible stage of construction on the site of the project. All costs of construction, including the restoring, temporary seeding, and permanent erosion control measures, shall be borne by the person/persons responsible therefor. The Building Official shall approve the erosion control measures and the timing of their installation prior to their accomplishment.
(B) The entire storm water storage area shall be designed and constructed to fully protect the public health, safety and welfare. If a condition occurs in the storm water storage area which is hazardous to the public health, safety or welfare, the persons responsible for the condition will be required to provide approved corrective measures. In the event these measures are not provided, the city may eliminate the hazard at the expense of the person responsible.
