Erosion control permits shall be subject to all of the requirements of this section. Violation of any permit requirement shall cause the permit holder and any other responsible party to be subject to enforcement action under Section V. Upon issuance of an erosion control permit, the permit holder and any other responsible party shall be deemed to have accepted these requirements. In addition, all applicable Town erosion control ordinance requirements shall apply if more restrictive. General requirements include all of the following:

(a) Other Permits. Compliance with an erosion control permit does not relieve the applicant or other responsible party of the responsibility to comply with other applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations. P&D may require the applicant to obtain other permits or plan approvals prior to issuing the erosion control permit.

(b) Approved Plans. All best management practices shall be installed and maintained in accordance with approved plans and construction schedules. A copy of the approved plans shall be kept at the construction site at all times during normal business hours.

(c) Plan Modifications. P&D shall be notified of any modifications (including field changes) proposed to be made to the approved plans. P&D may require proposed changes to be submitted for review prior to incorporation into the approved plans or implementation. Any modifications made during plan implementation without prior approval by P&D are subject to enforcement action.

(d) Notification. P&D shall be notified at least 3 working days before commencing any work in conjunction with approved plans. P&D shall also be notified of proposed plan modifications under Section 17.14-1(c), and within 1 working day of completing construction of an erosion control BMP.

(e) P&D Access. P&D or its designee shall be permitted access to the site for the purpose of inspecting the property for compliance with the approved plans and other permit requirements.

(f) BMP Maintenance. The permit holder shall maintain and repair all best management practices within 24 hours of inspection, or upon notification by P&D, unless P&D approves a longer period due to weather conditions. The permit holder, in accordance with approved plans and applicable technical standards, shall maintain temporary erosion control practices until the site is 70% stabilized, as approved by P&D, at which time the permit holder shall remove all temporary erosion control practices such as silt fence. The permit holder shall then restore all disturbed areas. After it is determined by P&D that all requirements of this ordinance are met, a notice of termination under Section 17.14-2(e) will be issued.

(g) Other Repairs. The permit holder shall be responsible for any damage to adjoining properties, municipal facilities or drainage ways caused by erosion, siltation, runoff, or equipment tracking. P&D may order immediate repairs or clean-up within road right-of-ways or other public lands if P&D determines that such damage is caused by activities regulated by a permit under this ordinance. With the approval of the landowner, P&D may also order repairs or clean-up on other affected property.

(h) Emergency Work. The permit holder authorizes P&D, in accordance with the enforcement procedures Section V., to perform any work or operations necessary to bring erosion control practices into conformance with the approved plans.

(i) Other Requirements. P&D may include other permit requirements that P&D determines are necessary to ensure compliance with this ordinance. [Code § 17.14-1.]
