All temporary measures and permanent erosion and sediment control must be maintained in an effective working condition as identified by required inspections. This includes the following:
(A) Repair, replace, or maintain erosion and sediment control structures after a singular or cumulative rainfall event(s) of 0.5 inches or more over a 24-hour period.
(B) Make adjustments to the sedimentation and erosion control plan and methods, as needed, to accomplish the intended purpose.
(C) If a repair is necessary, it shall be initiated within three working days of the inspection. If the issues are not corrected, the city may prepare an incidence of non-compliance (NOI) document and send it to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. The contractor will be responsible for any fines issued or penalties imposed.
(D) Built up sediment shall be removed from silt fences when it has reached one-third the design height of the fence.
(E) Washout areas shall be inspected for depth of sediment, and built up sediment shall be removed when it reaches 50% of the design depth of the basin.
