The City of Sycamore will inspect erosion control and sediment control devices in conjunction with routine building inspections to ensure that the required devices are installed, properly secured and maintained. The first inspection will be conducted during the stakeout inspection and it is expected that construction entrance is stabilized, perimeter control is installed and all inlets near or downstream from the construction site are protected. All other Best Management Practices (BMP's) will be verified at various other building inspections and after significant rain events.
If it is determined that any required erosion control or sediment control device is not installed, properly secured or not maintained, the corresponding building inspection will be declared "Not Approved." If it is discovered that sediment is eroding onto abutting properties, public ways, wetlands or waters of the State of Illinois, a "Stop Work Order" will be issued in accordance with section 1-9C-1C of this Code until such time that the sediment is removed, controlled and the proper devices have been installed.
