The Village of Cedarhurst Stormwater Management Officer, is
responsible for conducting inspections of stormwater management practices
(SMPs). All applicants are required to submit "as built" plans for
any stormwater management practices located on-site after final construction
is completed. The plan must show the final design specifications for
all stormwater management facilities and must be certified by a professional
engineer.
Inspection programs shall be established on any reasonable basis,
including, but not limited to: routine inspections; random inspections;
inspections based upon complaints or other notice of possible violations;
inspection of drainage basins or areas identified as higher than typical
sources of sediment or other contaminants or pollutants; inspections
of businesses or industries of a type associated with higher than
usual discharges of contaminants or pollutants or with discharges
of a type which are more likely than the typical discharge to cause
violations of state or federal water or sediment quality standards
or the SPDES stormwater permit; and joint inspections with other agencies
inspecting under environmental or safety laws. Inspections may include,
but are not limited to; reviewing maintenance and repair records;
sampling discharges, surface water, groundwater, and material or water
in drainage control facilities; and evaluating the condition of drainage
control facilities and other stormwater management practices.
The Village of Cedarhurst Stormwater Management Officer may
require monitoring and reporting from entities subject to this chapter
as are necessary to determine compliance with this chapter.
When any new stormwater management facility is installed on private property or when any new connection is made between private property and the public storm water system, the landowner shall grant to the Village of Cedarhurst the right to enter the property at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner for the purpose of inspection as specified in §
209-15.
If any building or land development activity is installed or
conducted in violation of this chapter the stormwater management officer
may prevent the occupancy of said building or land.
Any violator may be required to restore land to its undisturbed
condition. In the event that restoration is not undertaken within
a reasonable time after notice, the Village of Cedarhurst may take
necessary corrective action, the cost of which shall become a lien
upon the property until paid.
The Village of Cedarhurst may require any person undertaking
land development activities regulated by this chapter to pay reasonable
costs at prevailing rates for review of SWPPPs, inspections, or SMP
maintenance performed by the Village of Cedarhurst or performed by
a third party for the Village of Cedarhurst.
