In order to ensure the full and faithful completion of all construction
activities related to compliance with all conditions set forth by
the Town Planning Board in its approval of the TSWPPP, the Town Planning
Board may require the applicant and/or developer to provide, prior
to construction, a performance bond, escrow account certification,
or irrevocable letter of credit from an appropriate financial or surety
institution which guarantees satisfactory completion of the project
and names the Town as the beneficiary.
The Town Board shall, from time to time and by resolution, establish
appropriate fees for the review and processing of the permits under
this chapter.
The SMO may issue a stop-work order for violations of this law, pursuant to §
101-6 of the Town Code. Persons receiving a stop-work order shall be required to halt all land disturbance activities, except those activities that address the violations leading to the stop-work order. The stop-work order shall be in effect until the Town confirms that the land disturbance activity is in compliance and the violation has been satisfactorily addressed. Failure to address a stop-work order in a timely manner may result in civil, criminal or monetary penalties in accordance with the enforcement measures authorized in this chapter.
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 Town of Richmond may take necessary
corrective action, the cost of which shall become a lien upon the
property and added to the taxes until paid.
Any person aggrieved by the action of any official charged with the enforcement of this chapter, as the result of the disapproval or approval of an erosion control permit or an alleged failure by the Stormwater Management Officer to properly enforce the chapter in regard to a specific application, shall have the right to appeal the action to the Town Zoning Board of Appeals. The appeal shall be filed in writing within 60 days of the date of official transmittal of the final decision. It shall state clearly the grounds on which the appeal is based and shall be processed in the manner prescribed for the hearing of appeals under §
200-67 of the Town Code.
If any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause, or
other part of this chapter is for any reason invalid, the validity
of the remaining portion of this chapter shall not be affected.
The Town Board may from time to time, at its discretion, on
its own motion, on petition, or on recommendation of the Planning
Board, and in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, amend,
supplement, or repeal the regulations or provisions of this chapter.
