An orderly and timely termination of a project with land-disturbing activities should be planned among all persons involved with a site.
(A) Prior to final land grading, seeding, and mulching, the person holding the permit shall petition the city, in writing, to provide an opportunity for the installation of any remaining utility lines on the site. Those persons involved in the installation of utility lines shall perform their work reasonably promptly to minimize the time period during which some of the land may be in a relatively unprotected state. After the utility lines have been installed, the person holding the permit shall promptly complete all stormwater management activities.
(B) When a project has been completed, the person holding the permit shall petition, in writing, the city for approval of stormwater management measures which are to remain on the site to evaluate the adequacy of these control measures. “As built” drawings shall be submitted with that petition.
(1) If the stormwater management measures are approved, any performance bonds and/or letters of credit shall be released and maintenance responsibilities (see § 59.10) shall remain with the person owning the land.
(2) If the stormwater management measures are not approved because they are not in compliance with either the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan or the requirements of this chapter, the city shall notify, in writing, the person holding the permit of unacceptable features. After corrective measures are taken, a petition, again in writing, may be filed asking the city to evaluate the adequacy of the stormwater management measures. If, in good faith, the city again decides that the stormwater management measures are inadequate, the city may delay the release of any performance bonds and/or letters of credit and the city may use the performance bond to finance changes or additions to the stormwater management measures needed to complete the project.
