Upon completion of adequate stabilization of an approved erosion and sedimentation
control plan, the permittee shall notify the director of such completion. The director
shall then inspect the work and planting and, upon his determination that they are
in compliance with the approved plan, he shall issue a letter of preliminary acceptance.
A condition of any such preliminary acceptance shall be that the permittee guarantee
all erosion and sedimentation control work for a period of one year from the date
of its preliminary acceptance, or for a period of one year from any repair or replanting
ordered by the director, or until such time that all control structures and a minimum
of 90 percent of all plantings shall have survived for a year without need of further
replanting or repair. During the one year period of the guarantee, the director may
order in writing such replanting or repair work as shall be deemed necessary to enforce
compliance with the approved plan or the guarantee. Such an order shall serve to revoke
the preliminary acceptance and shall cause the permittee to renew the guarantee for
an additional one year from the date of replanting or repair. Final acceptance shall
occur when preliminary acceptance has remained unrevoked for a period of one year,
or when all control structures and a minimum of 90 percent of all plants have survived
for a period of one year without need of further replanting or repair. For purposes
of this section, normal cleaning of silt basins alone shall not be construed to be
repair work. (Ord. No. 4489, 6/16/07, Sec. 1)
