A.
Prior to and during construction, all the soil erosion and sediment
control measures shall be subject to inspection and approval by the
Municipal Engineer, who shall be notified by the developer at least
24 hours prior to the start of construction. No underground installation
shall be covered until inspected and approved.
B.
When all of the necessary and appropriate soil erosion and sediment
control measures have been completed, the developer shall notify the
Mayor and Township Council in writing, by certified or registered
mail, of the completion of the aforesaid soil erosion and sediment
control measures and shall send a copy thereof to the Municipal Engineer.
The Municipal Engineer shall inspect all of the aforesaid soil erosion
and sediment control measures. The Municipal Engineer shall thereupon
file a report, in writing, with the Mayor and Township Council. Said
report shall be detailed and shall indicate either approval, partial
approval or rejection. If said soil erosion and sediment control measures,
or any portion thereof, shall not be approved or shall be rejected
by the Municipal Engineer, said report shall contain a statement of
reasons for such nonapproval or rejection. Where said report indicates
partial approval of said soil erosion and sediment control measures,
it shall indicate the cost of the soil erosion and sediment control
measures for which approval is rejected or withheld. Where partial
approval is granted, the developer may be released from all liability
pursuant to its performance guaranty bond, except for that portion
adequately sufficient to secure the soil erosion and sediment control
measures not yet approved. No approval for occupancy of any building
will be granted unless all needed soil erosion control measures have
been completed or substantially provided for in accordance with this
chapter. The developer shall bear the final responsibility for the
installation and construction of all required soil erosion and sediment
control measures according to the provisions of this chapter.
C.
The municipality may issue a stop construction order if a project
is not being executed in accordance with a certified plan.
