(B) The Ingalls Drainage Board and/or the Ingalls Town Engineer and/or the Ingalls Town Manager also have the authority to perform long-term, post-construction inspection of all public or privately owned stormwater quantity facilities. The inspection will cover physical conditions, available storage capacity, and the operational condition of key facility elements. Stormwater quantity facilities shall be maintained in good condition, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the approved stormwater management permit, and shall not be subsequently altered, revised or replaced except in accordance with the approved stormwater permit, or in accordance with approved amendments or revisions to the permit. If deficiencies are found during the inspection, the owner of the facility will be notified by the Ingalls Drainage Board and/or the Ingalls Town Engineer and/or the Ingalls Town Manager and will be required to take all necessary measures to correct such deficiencies. If the owner fails to correct the deficiencies within the allowed time period, as specified in the notification letter, the Ingalls Drainage Board and/or the Ingalls Town Manager will undertake the work and collect all cost to collect the deficiencies and attorney's fees from the owner using lien rights if necessary.
(C) Assignment of responsible for maintaining facilities serving more than one lot or holding shall be documented by appropriate covenants to property deeds, unless responsibility is formally accepted by a public body, and determined before the final stormwater permit is approved. Stormwater detention/retention basins may be donated to Ingalls or other unit of government designated by the Ingalls Drainage Board and/or the Ingalls Town Manager, for ownership and permanent maintenance providing the Ingalls Drainage Board and/or the Ingalls Town Manager or other governmental unit is willing to accept responsibility.
