(A) Before approving a SWPPP, the Building Official or designee may require the applicant to file a surety company performance bond, deposit of money, negotiable securities or other method of surety, as specified by the Building Official or designee. When any land-disturbing activity is to take place within 200 feet of any watercourse or coastal feature or within an identified flood hazard district, or on slopes in excess of 10%, the filing of a performance bond shall be required. The amount of such bond, as determined by the Public Works Director or in his/her absence, the Building Official, shall be sufficient to cover the cost of implementing all erosion and sediment control measures shown on the plan.
(B) The bond or negotiable security filed by the applicant shall be subject to approval in the form, content, amount and manner of execution by the Finance Director.
(C) A performance bond for a SWPPP for a subdivision may be included in the performance bond of the subdivision. The posting of such bond as part of the subdivision performance bond does not, however, relieve the owner of any requirement(s) of this chapter.
