A.Â
The Mayor or his designee shall make inspections as hereinafter required
and shall either approve that portion of the work completed or shall
notify the permittee wherein the work fails to comply with the stormwater
drainage or erosion and sedimentation control plan as approved. Plans
for grading, stripping, excavating, and filling work bearing the stamp
of approval of the Mayor or his designee shall be maintained at the
site during progress of the work. In order to obtain inspections and
to ensure compliance with this chapter, the permittee shall notify
the Mayor or his designee within two working days of the completion
of the construction stages specified below:
(1)Â
Upon completion of installation of the stormwater drainage and erosion
and sediment control measures (including perimeter controls and diversions),
prior to proceeding with any other earth disturbance or grading;
(2)Â
After stripping and clearing;
(3)Â
After rough grading;
(4)Â
After final grading;
(5)Â
After seeding and landscaping deadlines; and
(6)Â
After final stabilization and landscaping, prior to removal of sediment
controls.
B.Â
If stripping, clearing, grading and/or landscaping are to be done
in phases or areas, the permittee shall give notice and request inspection
at the completion of each of the above work stages in each phase or
area. If an inspection is not made and notification of the results
given within five working days after notice is received by the Village
from the permittee, the permittee may continue work at his/her own
risk, without presuming acceptance by the Village. Notification of
the results of the inspection shall be given in writing at the site.
Qualified personnel (provided by the permittee) shall inspect
disturbed areas of the construction site that have not been finally
stabilized, structural control measures, and locations where vehicles
enter or exit the site at least once every seven calendar days and
within 24 hours of the end of a storm that is 0.5 inch or greater
or equivalent snowfall. "Qualified personnel" means a person knowledgeable
in the principles and practice of erosion and sediment controls, such
as a licensed professional engineer or other knowledgeable person
who possesses the skills to assess conditions at the construction
site that could impact stormwater quality and to assess the effectiveness
of any sediment and erosion control measures elected to control the
quality of stormwater discharges from the construction activities.
A.Â
If at any stage of the grading of any development site the Mayor
or his designee determines by inspection that the nature of the site
is such that further work authorized by an existing permit is likely
to imperil any property, public way, stream, lake, wetland, or drainage
structure, the Mayor or his designee may require, as a condition of
allowing the work to be done, that such reasonable special precautions
to be taken as are considered advisable to avoid the likelihood of
such peril. Special precautions may include, but shall not be limited
to, a more level exposed slope, construction of additional drainage
facilities, berms, terracing, compaction, or cribbing, installation
of plant materials for erosion control, and recommendations of a registered
soils engineer and/or engineering geologist, which may be made requirements
for further work.
B.Â
Possibility of storm damage. Where it appears that storm damage may
result because the grading on any development site is not complete,
work may be stopped and the permittee required to install temporary
structures or to take such other measures as may be required to protect
adjoining property or the public safety. On large developments or
where unusual site conditions prevail, the Mayor or his designee may
specify the time of starting grading and time of completion or may
require that the operations be conducted in specific stages so as
to ensure completion of protective measures or devices prior to the
advent of seasonal rains.
Major amendments to stormwater drainage and detention or erosion
and sediment control plans shall be submitted to the Mayor or his
designee and shall be processed and approved or disapproved in the
same manner as the original plans. Field modification of a minor nature
may be authorized by the Mayor or his designee by written authorization
to the permittee.
