document, and conduct a maintenance program, subject to approval,
for any BMP or to ensure continued compliance with specified performance
requirements. This requirement may apply to BMPs required by the County

may be required when the Administrator determines that proper maintenance
is necessary to protect public safety, health, infrastructure, or
the environment, or to otherwise meet the purposes of this chapter.
Maintenance requirements established pursuant to this subsection must
be appropriate for the site conditions and design of BMPs.
