(A) The Town may require a Person who engaged in a land-disturbing activity and failed to retain sediment generated by the activity, as required by G.S. § 113A-57(3), to restore the waters and land affected by the failure so as to minimize the detrimental effects of the resulting pollution by sedimentation. This authority is in addition to any other civil or criminal penalty or injunctive relief authorized under this chapter.
(B) In the event that sediment, soil, mud, stone, or other debris from a site is deposited on a public roadway, whether from erosion, sedimentation, tracking, or other means, the person conducting the land-disturbing activity shall immediately take appropriate action to remove the debris and clean the roadway.
(1) If the debris is not immediately removed and the roadway cleaned, the Town will issue a notice of violation specifying the date by which the debris must be removed and the roadway cleaned.
(2) If the person fails to comply within the time specified, the Town will take action to remove the debris and clean roadway and invoice the financially responsible person for the entire cost at established rates.
