(b) Single Lots. Owners of single lots, or lots not assessed for drainage maintenance, shall be responsible for the ongoing inspection and maintenance of all storm water control BMPs within those lots. Owners shall submit an annual inspection and maintenance report to the County Drainage Engineer detailing all the activities carried out in order to comply with the requirements of this Chapter. The County Drainage Engineer will carry out inspections of these lots, at reasonable intervals, but no more frequently than once per calendar year, to ensure compliance with the requirements of this Chapter. The property owner will be billed the actual cost of these inspections. Failure to submit an annual report to the County Drainage Engineer, or any non-compliance found during the inspections carried out by the County Drainage Engineer, constitutes a violation of this Chapter and Section 943.17 of this Chapter will apply. Any non-compliant BMPs are subject to additional inspections by the County Drainage Engineer at the property owner's expense until the BMPs are compliant with this Chapter.
The County Drainage Engineer reserves the right to have any third party inspector, carry out inspections on its behalf.
