1183.08 COMPREHENSIVE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLANS.
   (a)   Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan Required: The owner shall develop a Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan describing how the quantity and quality of stormwater will be managed after construction is completed for every discharge from the site and/or into a water resource or small municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4). The Plan will illustrate the type, location, and dimensions of every structural and non-structural SCM practice incorporated into the site design, and the rationale for their selection. The rationale must address how these SCMs will address flooding within the site as well as flooding that may be caused by the development upstream and downstream of the site. The rationale will also describe how the SCMs minimize impacts to the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of on-site and downstream water resources and, if necessary, correct current degradation of water resources that is occurring or take measures to prevent predictable degradation of water resources.
   (b)   Preparation by Professional Engineer: The Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan shall be prepared by a Registered Professional Engineer registered in the state of Ohio and include supporting calculations, plan sheets, and design details. To the extent necessary, as determined by the Village Engineer, a site survey shall be performed by a Registered Professional Surveyor registered in the state of Ohio to establish boundary lines, measurements, or land surfaces.
   (c)   Village Procedures: The Village Engineer shall prepare and maintain procedures providing specific criteria and guidance to be followed when designing the stormwater management system for the site. These procedures may be updated from time to time, at the discretion of the Village Engineer based on improvements in engineering, science, monitoring, and local maintenance experience. The Village Engineer shall make the final determination of whether the SCMs proposed in the Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan meet the requirements of this regulation. The Village Engineer may also maintain a list of acceptable SCMs that meet the criteria of this regulation to be used in the Village.
   (d)   Contents of Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan: The Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan shall contain an application, narrative report, construction site plan sheets, a long-term Inspection and Maintenance Plan, Inspection and Maintenance Agreement, and a site description with the following information provided:

            3.   It is deemed a violation of this Section if the Village does not receive the annual inspection report before August 1 of each year. In such an event, the Village has the authority to enter upon the property to conduct any inspections as necessary to verify that the SCMs are being operated and maintained in accordance with this Chapter and charge the responsible party accordingly. Any accounts that are over 30 days delinquent may be certified to the County Auditor, who shall then place the same on the tax duplicate of the County, with interest as allowed by law, to be collected as taxes are collected.

            1.    High priority items shall be corrected within three months of the date of the inspection report unless allowed further time by the Village Engineer. The certified Stormwater Inspector shall submit a letter to the Village Engineer when any high priority item is completed so that the Village Engineer can personally inspect.
            2.    Normal priority items shall be corrected before the next annual inspection and will be listed in the next annual stormwater report.
            3.    The Village is authorized to enter upon the property and to perform the corrective actions identified in the inspection report if the landowner(s) or organization responsible for maintenance does not make the required corrections in the specified time period.
