Before the site is rough graded, and before any utility construction is commenced or building permits are issued, the erosion and sediment control plan, Plan B, shall be implemented, inspected, and approved by the City. The City may impose additional erosion and sediment control requirements if they would be beneficial. All areas disturbed by the excavation and backfilling operations shall be reseeded forthwith after the completion of the work in that area. Except as otherwise provided in the erosion and sediment control plan, seed shall be certified seed to provide a temporary ground cover as rapidly as possible. All seeded areas shall be fertilized, mulched, and disc anchored as necessary for seed retention. The parties recognize that time is of the essence in controlling erosion and sediment transport. If the Developer does not comply with the erosion and sediment control plan and schedule of supplementary instructions received from the City, the City may take such action as it deems appropriate to control erosion and sediment transport at the Developer's expense. The City will endeavor to notify the Developer in advance of any proposed action, but failure of the City to do so will not affect the Developer's and City's rights or obligations hereunder. No development will be allowed and no building permits will be issued unless the plat is in full compliance with the erosion and sediment control requirements. Erosion and sediment control needs to be maintained until vegetative cover has been restored, even if construction has been completed and accepted. After the site has been stabilized to where, in the opinion of the City, there is no longer a need for erosion and sediment control, the City will authorize the removal of the erosion and sediment control, i.e. hay bales and silt fence. The Developer shall remove and dispose of the erosion and sediment control measures. 8a. Erosion Control During Construction of a Dwelling or Other Building.

These conditions must then be complied with within two (2) months after the certificate of occupancy issued, except that if the certificate of occupancy is issued between GC -3 October 1 through May I these conditions must be complied with by the following July 1st. Upon expiration of the time period, inspections will be conducted by City staff to verify satisfactory completion of all conditions. City staff will conduct inspections of incomplete items with a $50.00 inspection fee deducted from the escrow fund for each inspection. After satisfactory inspection, the financial guarantee shall be returned. If the requirements are not satisfied, the City may use the security to satisfy the requirements. The City may also use the escrowed funds for maintenance of erosion control pursuant to City Code Section 7 -22 or to satisfy any other requirements of this Contract or of City ordinances.
