Can an individual homeowner be responsible for maintaining a stormwater BMP?
An individual homeowner cannot be listed as the responsible party, but can have responsibilities in the maintenance of specific BMPs. For example, a homeowner’s association may be the responsible party for specific BMPs, but under an agreement, the homeowner is required to mow or perform other maintenance activities. However, the homeowner’s association is the responsible party to ensure that maintenance is occurring in an appropriate manner.
