§ 9.6.13. Construction Inspections

A.

Inspections to ensure plan compliance during construction. Periodic inspections of the stormwater management system construction is conducted by the staff of the Department or conducted and certified by a professional engineer who has been approved by the Department. Construction inspections shall utilize the approved stormwater management plan for establishing compliance. All inspections are documented with written reports that contain the following information:

1.

The date and location of the inspection;

2.

Whether construction is in compliance with the approved stormwater management plan;

3.

Variations from the approved construction specifications; and

4.

Any other variations or violations of the conditions of the approved stormwater management plan.

5.

If any violations are found, the applicant is notified in writing of the nature of the violation and the required corrective actions.

B.

Final inspection and as-built plans. Upon completion of a project, and before a certificate of occupancy is granted, the applicant is responsible for certifying that the completed project is in accordance with the approved stormwater management plan including the global positioning system coordinates of all stormwater management facilities. All applicants are required to submit actual "as-built" plans for any stormwater management facilities or practices after final construction is completed. The plan must show the final design specifications for all stormwater management facilities and practices and must be certified by a professional engineer. A final inspection by the Department is required before the release of any performance securities can occur.
