An inspection of this nature is necessary in order to file a Notice of Termination (NOT) to end coverage under the CGP. 3.8.3 Summary of Corrective and Enforcement Actions For private construction projects, a certificate of occupancy will not be issued until such a time that the developer provides a third party inspection of post-construction stormwater controls for projects requiring such an inspection. The City files a NOT to end coverage under the CGP for each project that disturbed one or more acres of land based on the results of the final stability inspection. Where final stabilization has not been achieved, coverage under the CGP is maintained.
