The City shall provide Owner, its successors and assigns, copies of the inspection findings and a directive to
commence with the repairs or corrective measures if necessary.

the permanent BMP(s) in good working condition acceptable to the City, the City may enter upon the
Property and take whatever steps necessary to correct deficiencies identified in the inspection report and to
charge the costs of such repairs to the Owner, its successors, and assigns. This provision shall not be

to maintain the permanent BMP(s).
