The SWPPP shall be prepared by a qualified professional and must be signed by the professional preparing the plan, who shall certify that the design of all stormwater management practices meet the requirements in this chapter.
Each contractor and subcontractor identified in the SWPPP who will be involved in soil disturbance and/or stormwater management practice installation shall sign and date a copy of the following certification statement before undertaking any land development activity: "I hereby certify that I understand and agree to comply with the terms and conditions of the SWPPP and agree to implement any corrective actions identified by the qualified inspector during a site inspection. I also understand that the owner or operator must comply with the terms and conditions of the most current version of the New York State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ("SPDES") general permit for stormwater discharges from construction activities, and that it is unlawful for any person to cause or contribute to a violation of water quality standards. Furthermore, I understand that certifying false, incorrect or inaccurate information is a violation of the referenced permit and the laws of the State of New York and could subject me to criminal, civil and/or administrative proceedings."
Technical standards. For the purpose of this chapter, the following documents shall serve as the official guides and specifications for stormwater management. Stormwater management practices that are designed and constructed in accordance with these technical documents shall be presumed to meet the standards imposed by this article:
New York Standards and Specifications for Erosion and Sediment Control (Empire State Chapter of the Soil and Water Conservation Society, most current version or its successor, hereafter referred to as the "Erosion Control Manual").
Equivalence to technical standards. Where stormwater management practices are not in accordance with technical standards, the applicant or developer must demonstrate equivalence to the technical standards set forth in Subsection A above, and the SWPPP shall be prepared by a qualified professional that is knowledgeable in the principles and practices of stormwater management and treatment.
Water quality standards. Any land development activity shall not cause an increase in turbidity that will result in substantial visible contrast to natural conditions in surface waters of the State of New York or cause a violation of New York State water quality standards.
Prior to the commencement of construction activity, the owner or operator must identify the contractor(s) and subcontractor(s) that will be responsible for installing, constructing, repairing, replacing, inspecting and maintaining the erosion and sediment control practices included in the SWPPP and the contractor(s) and subcontractor(s) that will be responsible for constructing the post-construction stormwater management practices included in the SWPPP. The owner or operator shall have each of the contractors and subcontractors identify at least one person from their company that will be responsible for implementation of the SWPPP. This person must be a trained contractor. The owner or operator shall ensure that at least one trained contractor is on site on a daily basis when soil disturbance activities are being performed.
For construction sites where soil disturbance activities are ongoing and the owner or operator has received authorization to disturb greater than five acres of soil at any one time, the qualified inspector shall conduct at least two site inspections every seven calendar days. The two inspections shall be separated by a minimum of two full calendar days
For construction sites where soil disturbance activities have been temporarily suspended (e.g., winter shutdown) and temporary stabilization measures have been applied to all disturbed areas, the qualified inspector shall conduct a site inspection at least once every 30 calendar days. The owner or operator shall notify the Stormwater Management Officer in writing prior to reducing the frequency of inspections.
For construction sites where soil disturbance activities have been shut down with partial project completion, the qualified inspector can stop conducting inspections if all areas disturbed as of the project shutdown date have achieved final stabilization and all post-construction stormwater management practices required for the completed portion of the project have been constructed in conformance with the SWPPP and are operational. The owner or operator shall notify the Stormwater Management Officer in writing prior to the shutdown. If soil disturbance activities are not resumed within two years from the date of shutdown, the owner or operator shall have the qualified inspector perform a final inspection and certify that all disturbed areas have achieved final stabilization, and all temporary, structural erosion and sediment control measures have been removed, and that all post- construction stormwater management practices have been constructed in conformance with the SWPPP by signing the final stabilization and post-construction stormwater management practice certification statements on the notice of termination.
Maintenance easement(s). Prior to the issuance of any approval that has a stormwater management facility as one of the requirements, the applicant or developer must execute a maintenance easement agreement that shall be binding on all subsequent landowners served by the stormwater management facility. The easement shall provide for access to the facility at reasonable times for periodic inspection by the Town of Geddes to ensure that the facility is maintained in proper working condition to meet design standards and any other provisions established by this chapter. The easement shall be recorded by the grantor in the office of the County Clerk after approval by the counsel for the Town of Geddes.
Maintenance after construction. The owner or operator of permanent stormwater management practices installed in accordance with this law shall ensure they are operated and maintained to achieve the goals of this law. Proper operation and maintenance also includes, as a minimum, the following:
A preventive/corrective maintenance program for all critical facilities and systems of treatment and control (or related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the owner or operator to achieve the goals of this law.
Discharges from the SMPs shall not exceed design criteria or cause or contribute to water quality standard violations in accordance with § 183-11C.
The Town of Geddes shall approve a formal maintenance agreement for stormwater management facilities binding on all subsequent landowners and recorded in the office of the County Clerk as a deed restriction on the property prior to final plan approval. The maintenance agreement shall be in a form acceptable to the Town.
The Town of Geddes, in lieu of a maintenance agreement, at its sole discretion may accept dedication of any existing or future stormwater management facility and creation of a drainage district, provided such facility meets all the requirements of this chapter and includes adequate and perpetual access and sufficient area, by easement or otherwise, for inspection and regular maintenance.
Whenever there is a change in design, construction or operation at the construction site that has or could have an effect on the discharge of pollutants; and
To address issues or deficiencies identified during an inspection by the qualified inspector, the Department or other regulatory authority.
The owner or operator shall notify the Stormwater Management Officer in writing of any planned amendment or modifications to the post-construction stormwater management practice component of the SWPPP. Unless otherwise notified by the Stormwater Management Officer, the owner or operator shall have the SWPPP amendments or modifications reviewed and accepted by the Stormwater Management Officer prior to commencement of construction of the post-construction stormwater management practice.
When property ownership changes or when there is a change in operational control over the construction plans and specifications, the original owner or operator must notify the new owner or operator, in writing, of the requirement to obtain permit coverage by submitting a notice of termination (NOT) to the Department. Once the new owner or operator obtains permit coverage, the original owner or operator shall then submit a completed notice of termination (NOT) with the name and permit identification number of the new owner or operator to the Department. If the original owner or operator maintains ownership of a portion of the construction activity and will disturb soil, they must maintain their coverage under the permit.
Prior to termination of any SPDES permit obtained in accordance with this chapter, the owner or operator shall have the Stormwater Management Officer sign the MS4 acceptance statement on the NOT. Prior to signing this statement, the Stormwater Management Officer shall determine that it is acceptable for the owner or operator to submit the NOT in accordance with the requirements of the applicable SPDES permit. The Stormwater Management Officer can make this determination by performing a final site inspection himself or by accepting the qualified inspector's final site inspection certificate(s).
