Prior to the issuance of any permit to an applicant to commence a land development activity that has a SWPPP that includes a stormwater management facility as one of the requirements, the applicant or developer shall complete and file with the SMO a stormwater facility registration statement, which shall include a copy of any proposed permanent stormwater management facility design, the operations and maintenance plan in the SWPPP for the permanent facility, the entity that will be responsible for implementing each practice in the plan, including contact information for a responsible person, and such fee as required by resolution of the Town Board. The statement shall be updated within 30 days of a change or modification in the design, operation or maintenance of the facility, the designated entity responsible for implementing any practice or the contact information provided on the statement, or when the owner or operator of the facility submits a notice of termination of coverage to the MS4. The statement shall be renewed every three years thereafter.

Prior to the issuance of any permit to an applicant to commence a land development activity that has a SWPPP which includes a stormwater management facility as one of the requirements, the applicant or developer shall submit to the SMO a formal maintenance agreement for the stormwater management facilities in recordable form, together with all documents and fees required to record that agreement in the office of the Ulster County Clerk as a deed restriction on the property. The maintenance agreement shall be reviewed by the Town Attorney, in consultation with the SMO and the Town Engineer, to determine that: it will be binding on all subsequent landowners; it is consistent with the terms and conditions of Schedule B of this chapter,[1] entitled "Sample Stormwater Control Facility Maintenance Agreement"; it provides for access to the facility at reasonable times for periodic inspection by the Town of New Paltz to ensure that the facility is maintained in proper working condition to meet design standards; that it meets any other applicable standards of this chapter; and that it is in proper form for recording. Permits to commence the land development activity may be issued by the issuing official on receipt of appropriate evidence that the maintenance agreement has been duly recorded in the Clerk's office.
