Prior to approval of all sediment and erosion control permits and as a condition of the permit approval, the permittee shall post and maintain a cash sediment and erosion control bond. The sediment and erosion control bond shall be effective during the one-year period of the sediment and erosion control permit and shall be released after the completion of the final inspection and the approval of the city engineer. The sediment and erosion control bond shall provide sufficient funds to pay for damages due to design defects and/or failures in workmanship of sedimentation ponds or construction drainage devices and to guarantee repair of damages resulting from failure to provide adequate sediment and erosion controls. The cash bond shall be at least equal to the total estimated construction cost of the interim and permanent sediment and erosion control devices or $10,000 whichever is greater.
