(A) The perimeter and outfall protection inspection must be performed prior to the permittee’s breaking ground or disturbing soil with exception for installation of sediment control practices at the hydrologic perimeter and outfall(s) of a construction site. The inspection shall include participation by the city, the permittee and the permittee’s contractor.
(B) The perimeter and outfall protection inspection may only be performed after the review and acceptance by the city of a Perimeter Control Plan.

(1) The inspector shall in writing either approve the portion of work completed or notify the permittee where the work fails to comply with the approved perimeter protection plan.
(2) Failure by the city to perform the inspection within seven normal business days will allow the permittee to begin land-disturbing activities, but may be subject to subsequent inspections by the city and revisions in the Perimeter Protection Plan.
(3) Inspection of perimeter and outfall protection measures shall consist of a written checklist for each type of protective measure to ensure that it was installed according to the approved plan and site-specific conditions.
