Administrative land disturbance review approval or a land disturbance
permit must be obtained prior to the commencement of land-disturbing
activity or redevelopment based on thresholds established in this
bylaw. An applicant seeking an approval and/or permit shall file an
appropriate application with the Stormwater Authority in a form and
containing information as specified in this bylaw and in regulations
adopted by the Stormwater Authority.
An applicant consents to entry of the Stormwater Authority or
its authorized agents in or on the site to verify the information
in the application and to inspect for compliance with review or permit
conditions, and may make, or cause to be made, such examinations,
surveys or sampling as the Stormwater Authority deems reasonably necessary.
In the event of refusal to allow entry, the Town may take any and
all action available to gain lawful entry for inspection.
The Stormwater Authority or its designated agent shall make
inspections as outlined in the stormwater management regulations to
verify and document compliance with administrative land disturbance
review or a land disturbance permit.
The Stormwater Authority may require the applicant to post before the start of land disturbance or construction activity, a surety bond, irrevocable letter of credit, cash, or other acceptable security. The form of the bond shall be approved by the Stormwater Authority and be in an amount deemed sufficient by the Stormwater Authority to ensure that the work will be completed in accordance with the permit. If the project is phased, the Stormwater Authority may release part of the bond as each phase is completed in compliance with the permit. The bond may not be fully released until the Stormwater Authority has received the final report as required by §
386-22 and issued a certificate of completion.
Upon completion of the work the applicant shall submit a report
(including certified as-built construction plans) from a professional
engineer (P.E.), surveyor, or certified professional in erosion and
sedimentation control (CPESC), certifying that all BMPs, erosion and
sedimentation control devices, and approved changes and modifications
have been completed in accordance with the conditions of the approved
erosion and sediment control plan and stormwater management plan.
The Stormwater Authority may, by regulation, require ongoing reporting
to ensure long-term compliance, including, but not limited to, appropriate
operation and maintenance of stormwater BMPs. Any discrepancies shall
be noted in the cover letter.
The Stormwater Authority shall issue a letter certifying completion
of a project following receipt and review of a final report and as-built
plan showing that all work allowed under the permit has been satisfactorily
completed in conformance with this bylaw and any regulations enacted
hereunder.
