160.06 INSPECTION PROCEDURES.
   1.   All inspections required under this chapter shall be conducted by the Public Works Director, City Engineer, Building Inspector, a subcontractor credentialed in a manner satisfactory to the City, or other appropriate designee, hereinafter referred to as the “enforcement officer.”
   2.   The City shall conduct inspections on a regular basis to ensure that both storm water and erosion and sediment control measures are properly installed and maintained prior to construction, during construction, and at the completion of the project. Mandatory inspections are required as follows:
      A.   Before any land disturbing activity begins;
      B.   At the time of footing inspections;
      C.   At the completion of the project; and
      D.   Prior to the release of financial securities.
   3.   Applicant shall notify the City prior to commencing land disturbing activity, at the time of footing inspections and when all measures required by applicant’s SWPPP have been accomplished on-site, whereupon the City shall conduct an initial inspection for the purpose of determining compliance with this chapter, and shall within a reasonable time thereafter report to the applicant either that compliance appears to have been achieved, or that compliance has not been achieved, in which case the City shall provide a bill of particulars identifying the conditions of noncompliance. The applicant shall immediately commence corrective action and shall complete such corrective action within twenty-four (24) hours of receiving the City’s bill of particulars. For good cause shown, the City may extend the deadline for taking corrective action. Failure to take corrective action in a timely manner shall constitute a violation of this chapter.
   4.   Construction shall not occur on the site at any time when the City has identified conditions of noncompliance.
   5.   Construction activities undertaken by an applicant prior to resolution of all discrepancies specified in the bill of particulars shall constitute a violation of this chapter.
   6.   The City shall not be responsible for the direct or indirect consequences to the applicant or to third parties for noncompliant conditions undetected by inspection.
