A grading or building permit may not be issued for any parcel
or lot unless final erosion and sediment control plans have been approved
by Talbot County Soil Conservation District and stormwater management
plans have been approved by the County Engineer that meet all the
requirements of the Design Manual and this chapter. Where appropriate,
a building permit may not be issued without:
A.
Recorded easements for the stormwater management facility and easements
to provide adequate access for inspection and maintenance from a public
right-of-way;
B.
A recorded stormwater management maintenance agreement as described in § 164-9.2 of this chapter;
C.
A performance bond as described in § 164-7.0 of this chapter.
Nonrefundable permit fees will be collected at each phase of
stormwater management plan submittal. Permit fees will provide for
the cost of plan review, administration, management of the permitting
process, and inspection of all projects subject to this chapter. A
permit fee schedule shall be established by the County Council based
upon the relative complexity of the project and may be amended from
time to time.
Any permits or approvals issued to the applicant for the project
by the County associated with an approved stormwater management plan
may be disapproved, suspended or revoked after written notice to the
permittee for any of the following reasons:
A.
Any violation(s) of the conditions of the approved stormwater management
plan;
B.
Changes in site runoff characteristics for which a waiver was granted;
C.
Construction other than in accordance with the approved plan;
D.
Noncompliance with correction notice(s) or stop-work order(s) issued
for any stormwater management practice or system; or
E.
An immediate danger exists in a downstream area.
In granting an approval for any phase of site development, the
County Engineer may impose such conditions that may be deemed necessary
to ensure compliance with the provisions of this chapter and the preservation
of public health and safety.
