(a) Sites are immediately considered non-compliant for the following reasons:
(1) Soil disturbing activities without an earth disturbance permit.
(2) Soil disturbing activities without an approved Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan.
(3) Soil disturbing activities without an Ohio EPA NPDES Permit.
(4) Soil disturbing activities without a pre-construction meeting.
(b) Following the initial inspection of erosion and sediment control devices by the developer's delegated representative, regular inspections (bi-monthly) will be performed by the City of Louisville for compliance with Storm Water Quality Regulations. If it appears that a violation of any of the regulations has occurred, the owner and developer will be notified of deficiencies or non-compliance in writing by certified mail, return receipt requested. If within 30 days after receipt of the letter, the owner or developer has not rectified the deficiency or received approval of plans for its correction, a second notice of violation will be issued. The owner or developer has another 15 days to rectify the violation. If the violation is not rectified, the City of Louisville will begin for immediate enforcement of these regulations.
(c) If the City of Louisville determines that a violation exists, the City of Louisville shall seek an injunction to cease work immediately until compliance with these rules. A court may also order the construction of sediment control improvements for implementation or other control measures.
(d) The Stark County Soil and Water Conservation District may require revisions to the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan as necessary to achieve compliance to the Storm Water Quality Regulations.
(e) A final inspection will be made to determine if the criteria of the Storm Water Quality Regulations have been satisfied and a report retained by the City of Louisville on the compliance status of the site.
