§ 7.5-226. Construction inspections of post-development stormwater management system.

(a)

Inspections to ensure plan compliance during construction. Periodic inspections of the stormwater management system construction shall be conducted by the staff of the City of Cartersville or conducted and certified by a professional engineer who has been approved by the City of Cartersville. Construction inspections shall utilize the approved stormwater management plan for establishing compliance.

All inspections shall be 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.

If any violations are found, the applicant shall be 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 shall be granted, the applicant is responsible for certifying that the completed project is in accordance with the approved stormwater management plan. All applicants are required to submit actual "as built" plans for any stormwater management facilities or practices after final construction are 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 City of Cartersville is required before the release of any performance securities can occur.
