During any stage of earth disturbance activities, if the municipality
determines that the stormwater management facilities are not being
installed in accordance with the approved SWM site plan, the municipality
shall notify the applicant and the applicant shall take such actions
to address said issues. The municipality may revoke any existing permits
or approvals until the identified issues are appropriately addressed,
and/or the municipality may require the applicant to submit a revised
SWM site plan for review and approval as specified in this Part.

Stormwater BMPs shall be inspected by the landowner, or the landowner's
designee according to the inspection schedule described on the SWM
site plan for each BMP.

The municipality may require copies of the inspection reports, in
a form as stipulated by the municipality.

If such inspections are not conducted or inspection reports not submitted
as scheduled, the municipality, or their designee, may conduct such
inspections and charge the owner appropriate fees. Non-payment of
fees may result in a lien against the property.

Prior to conducting such inspections, the municipality shall
inform the owner of its intent to conduct such inspections. The owner
shall be given 30 days to conduct required inspections and submit
the required inspection reports to the municipality.
