PADEP or its designees normally ensure compliance with any permits
issued, including those for stormwater management. In addition to
PADEP compliance programs, the Mars Borough or their municipal assignee
may inspect all phases of the installation of temporary or permanent
stormwater management facilities.

During any stage of earth disturbance activities, if the Mars Borough

SWM site plan is submitted and approved as specified in this chapter.

as scheduled, the Mars Borough, or their designee, may conduct such
inspections and charge the owner appropriate fees. Nonpayment of fees
may result in a lien against the property. Prior to conducting such
inspections, the Mars Borough shall inform the owner of its intent
to conduct such inspections. The owner shall be given 30 days to conduct
required inspections and submit the required inspection reports to
the Mars Borough.
