In the case of noncompliance with this subchapter or the Stormwater Design Manual, the OMCS has the right to issue abatement orders, stop-work orders, injunctions and/or revoke stormwater management plan approvals.
(A) If the applicant commences work for which the Stormwater Management Plan Approval (SWMPA) is required without compliance with the provisions of this subchapter, the review fee shall be increased to $500. If work for which the SWMPA is required is completed or substantially completed by the applicant without compliance with the provisions of the County Stormwater Management Ordinance, the review fee shall be increased to $2,500.
(B) The OMCS may revoke a SWMPA where the submittal packet, plans and/or other supporting documents reflect either:
(1) A false statement or misrepresentation as to material fact; or
(2) Failure to comply with the requirements of this manual.
(C) Whenever the OMCS discovers the existence of any of the circumstances listed below, they are empowered to issue an order requiring the suspension of the land alteration. The stop-work order shall be in writing and shall state to what land alteration it is applicable and the reason for its issuance. One copy of the stop-work order shall be posted on the property in a conspicuous place and one copy shall be delivered to the applicant, and if conveniently possible to the person doing the land alteration and to the owner of the property or his or her agent. The stop-work order shall state the conditions under which land alteration may be resumed. A stop-work order shall be issued if:
(1) Land alteration is occurring in violation of a drainage requirement and in such manner that if land alteration is allowed to proceed, there is a probability that it will be substantially difficult to correct the violation;
(2) Land alteration has been accomplished in violation of a drainage requirement and 15 calendar days has elapsed since written notice of the violation or noncompliance was either posted on the property in a conspicuous place or given to the person doing the land alteration, without the violation or noncompliance being corrected; or
(3) Land alteration for which a SWMPA is required is proceeding without a SWMPA being in force. In such an instance the stop-work order shall indicate that the effect of the order terminates when the required SWMPA is obtained.
