(a) If a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan or Abbreviated Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan is required by this regulation, soil-disturbing activities shall not be permitted until either a cash bond, performance bond or letter of credit in the amount of one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500) for a single-family residential lot, or one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500) per acre for subdivisions and commercial projects, has been deposited with the Finance Department. This bonding instrument must be in a form acceptable to the Law Director and shall be posted for the City to perform the obligations otherwise to be performed by the owner of the development area as stated in this regulation and to allow all work to be performed as needed in the event that the applicant fails to comply with the provisions of this regulation. The bond shall be returned after all work required by this regulation has been completed and final stabilization has been reached, all as determined by the City Engineer.
(b) No project subject to this regulation shall commence without a SWP3 or Abbreviated SWP3 approved by the City Engineer.
(c) Upon the failure of the owner and/or developer and/or contractor(s) to complete any work ordered by the City Engineer, the City may elect to contract with others or employ its own employees to remedy all or part of the said unfinished work and the owner and/or developer and/or contractor(s) shall be liable to the City for the cost of such work and for the cost to the City to collect its costs if not paid upon presentment. The City shall have the right to enter upon the disturbed lands to correct such failure and to abate any nuisance found.
