BMPs intended to be converted to post construction operation for stormwater attenuation, recharge, and/or
treatment, the conversion is allowed by the MassDEP Stormwater Handbook BMP specifications and that the
BMP has been properly cleaned or prepared for post construction operation, including removal of all
construction period sediment trapped in inlet and outlet control structures; ii.. as -built final construction
BMP plans are included, signed and stamped by a Registered Professional Engineer, certifying the site is
fully stabilized; iii. any illicit discharges to the stormwater management system have been removed, as per
the requirements of Stormwater Standard 10; iv. all post -construction stormwater BMPs are installed in
accordance with the plans (including all planting plans) approved by the issuing authority, and have been
inspected to ensure that they are not damaged and that they are in proper working condition; v. any vegetation
associated with post -construction BMPs is suitably established to withstand erosion.
c) The landowner is responsible for BMP maintenance until the issuing authority is notified that another party
has legally assumed responsibility for BMP maintenance. Prior to requesting a Certificate of Compliance, or
Partial Certificate of Compliance, the responsible party (defined in General Condition 19(e)) shall execute
and submit to the issuing authority an Operation and Maintenance Compliance Statement ("O&M Statement")
for the Stormwater BMPs identifying the party responsible for implementing the stormwater BMP Operation
and Maintenance Plan ("O&M Plan") and certifying the following: i.) the O&M Plan is complete and will be
implemented upon receipt of the Certificate of Compliance, and ii.) the future responsible parties shall be
notified in writing of their ongoing legal responsibility to operate and maintain the stormwater management
BMPs and implement the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
d) Post -construction pollution prevention and source control shall be implemented in accordance with the long-
term pollution prevention plan section of the approved Stormwater Report and, if applicable, the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan required by the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Multi -Sector

assumes responsibility for maintaining each BMP. To overcome this presumption, the landowner of the
property must submit to the issuing authority a legally binding agreement of record, acceptable to the issuing
authority, evidencing that another entity has accepted responsibility for maintaining the BMP, and that the
proposed responsible party shall be treated as a permittee for purposes of implementing the requirements of
Conditions 19(f) through 19(k) with respect to that BMP. Any failure of the proposed responsible party to
implement the requirements of Conditions 19(0 through 19(k) with respect to that BMP shall be a violation
of the Order of Conditions or Certificate of Compliance. In the case of stormwater BMPs that are serving
more than one lot, the legally binding agreement shall also identify the lots that will be serviced by the
stormwater BMPs. A plan and easement deed that grants the responsible party access to perform the required
operation and maintenance must be submitted along with the legally binding agreement.
0 The responsible party shall operate and maintain all stormwater BMPs in accordance with the design plans,
the O&M Plan, and the requirements of the Massachusetts Stormwater Handbook.
The responsible party shall:
