(a) If the County determines at any time that any permanent stormwater management facilities and/or Best Management Practices have been eliminated, altered or improperly maintained, the responsible parties responsible for maintenance shall be issued a Notice of Violation by mail. The Notice shall specify the corrective measures required to bring the facility and/or Best Management Practice back into compliance with the design parameters and specified period of time within which the necessary action to complete the repair must take place.
(b) For a minor maintenance repair, a second Notice and final Notices will be issued by both regular and certified mail.
(c) If the responsible parties responsible for maintenance fails or refuses to meet the requirements of the inspection and maintenance agreement, or as outlined in the Stormwater Management Design Manual, the County, after 30 days of the final written Notice (except, that in the event the Violation constitutes an immediate danger to public health or public safety, then one 24 hours notice shall be sufficient), may correct a Violation of the design standards or maintenance requirements by performing or having performed the necessary work to place the facility or practice in proper working condition. The County may assess the responsible parties responsible for maintenance for the cost of repair work, including any associated plans, permits, oversight, inspection, and maintenance reporting, which shall become a lien on the property, and which lien may be placed on the ad valorem tax bill for such property and collected in the ordinary manner for such taxes.
