(1) Notice of Project Commencement. The applicant must notify the City before the commencement of permitted land disturbing activities. In addition, the applicant must call for inspection by the City in advance of critical junctures of construction prior to covering of underground facilities.

(2) Construction Inspections by City. The City will conduct periodic inspections of the temporary and permanent stormwater BMPs shown on the approved SWPPP or ESC Plan. The Administrator and/or designee is authorized to enter the project site at reasonable times to inspect or to perform the duties imposed by this Chapter, provided that if such project site is occupied that credentials be presented to the applicant and entry requested. If such project site is unoccupied, the Administrator and/or designee shall first make a reasonable effort to locate the applicant or other person having charge or control of the project site and request entry. The City inspector will document any variations or discrepancies from the approved plans, and document the corrective actions required to resolve such instances. An approved final inspection by the City is required before any performance bond or guarantee, or portion thereof, shall be released. Special inspections or certifications may be required.

All City inspectors shall be CESCL certified prior to conducting any inspections or submitting any inspection documentation, and be qualified to perform specific technical inspections as determined by the Administrator.

(3) Final As-Built Submittal. If the project included construction of conveyance systems, treatment facilities, flow control facilities, or structural source control BMPs, the applicant may be required at the City’s discretion to submit as-built plans (Record Drawings) to the City. These shall be engineering drawings that accurately represent the project as constructed. These corrected drawings must be legibly drafted revisions that are stamped, signed, and dated by a licensed engineer registered in the state of Washington. (Ord. 11-1 §12, 2011).
