No regulated earth disturbance activities within the City shall
commence until approval by the City of the BMP operations and maintenance
plan which describes how the permanent (e.g., post-construction) stormwater
BMPs will be properly operated and maintained.
It shall be unlawful to alter or remove any permanent stormwater
BMP required by an approved BMP operations and maintenance plan or
to allow the property to remain in a condition which does not conform
to an approved BMP operations and maintenance plan unless an exception
is granted, in writing, by the City.
Stormwater management easements shall be provided by the property owner if necessary for access for inspections and maintenance or for preservation of stormwater conveyance, infiltration, detention areas and other BMPs by persons other than the property owner. The purpose of the easement shall be specified in any agreement under §
538-32.
