A. The purpose of this guarantee is to ensure that adequate erosion control measures are employed during the course of construction and that permanent stabilization is achieved at the conclusion of significant activity. The guarantee may be utilized to reduce drainage impacts and permanently stabilize the site in the event that the County determines a site has been abandoned after construction begins. Pierce County will consider a site to be abandoned based on a lack of response by the principal to correct noted deficiencies or non-completion of improvements prior to permit expiration. Permanent stabilization includes reclamation of the site if a project is abandoned after construction begins.

B. The guarantee shall be for $1,500 per acre to be disturbed, $1,500 minimum.

C. The reclamation guarantee must be accepted by Pierce County prior to approval of a site development permit and will be released after the conclusion of significant activity on the project site and upon the recommendation of the County Inspector. The County Inspector will recommend release of the reclamation guarantee when he/she determines that little potential for erosion, sedimentation, or stormwater impacts remains.

D. Upon identification by the County of deficiencies relating to erosion control, site stabilization, or project abandonment, the County will provide written notification to the principal identifying the deficiencies. The principal will have 10 calendar days to respond. The County will begin collection proceedings after the 10-calendar-day period if the deficiencies are not satisfactorily addressed or satisfactory response detailing how the deficiencies will be addressed in a timely fashion has not been received.
