(a) The Approving Agency, as designated by the Village of Plain City, shall inspect development areas to determine compliance with these Regulations. If periodic inspections or other information indicates a control has been used inappropriately or incorrectly, the contractor must replace or modify the control for the site conditions.
(1) When a practice requires repair or maintenance; If the inspection reveals that a control practice is in need of repair or maintenance, with the exception of sediment basin clean-out, or sediment basin removal, it must be repaired or maintained within 48 hours of the inspection. Sediment basin clean-out or removable must occur within seven (7) days of the inspection.
(2) When practices fail to provide their intended function: If the inspection reveals that a control practice fails to perform its intended function and that another, more appropriate control practice is required, the sediment and erosion control plan must be amended and a new control practice must be installed within seven (7) days of the inspection.
(3) When practices depicted on the sediment and erosion control plan are not installed: If the inspection reveals that a control practice has not been implemented in accordance with the schedule contained on the plan, the control practices must be implemented prior to the next storm event, which produces runoff from the site, but in no case later than seven (7) days from the date of inspection. If the inspection reveals that a planned control practice is not needed, the record must contain a statement as to why the control practice is not needed.
If the deficiency or non-compliance has not been corrected or the plans have not been approved by the Zoning Inspector for its correctness, said deficiency or non-compliance shall be reported to the Village Solicitor for action. If it is determined at the time of inspection that the magnitude of the violation is such that the issue requires immediate resolution, the inspecting agency may define the time frame in which such violation must be resolved.
(b) If the Zoning Inspector determines that a violation exists and requests the Village Solicitor, in writing, to take action, the Zoning Inspector shall seek an injunction or other appropriate relief to abate excessive erosion and sedimentation and to secure compliance with these Regulations. In granting relief, the court may order the construction of sediment control improvements or implementation of other control measures.
(c) A final inspection shall be made to determine if the criteria of these Regulations have been satisfied.
