All vegetation proposed in the stormwater design plan shall be maintained in a manner that promotes the proper operation of the rain gardens, and all debris must be removed on a regular basis to prevent stormwater from leaving the intended detention/infiltration areas. 8. The construction of the stormwater retention/infiltration devices must be completed within 60 days of the final grading at the site, or as soon as weather permits. Contact this department if 60 days is not enough time to finish constructing them after final grading is finished. The owner or owner’s agent must contact this department for an onsite verification at the following times in the construction sequence: I. After erosion control has been put in place and before any land disturbance occurs. II. Before any erosion control measures are removed, as there must be at least 70% vegetative cover established. III. After the construction of the stormwater retention devices have been completed. This permit is valid for one year, with the possibility of up to two (2) extensions if the applicant submits a permit extension fee and documentation. This approval does not allow for any additional construction, structures or structural changes, grading, filling, or clearing of vegetation beyond the limits of this request.
