17.04.180 EXCAVATIONS — CUTS AND FILLS.
   .010   All cuts and fills shall be made in accordance with the recommendations of the soil report, as required per Section 17.04.090, and shall conform to the following:
   .0101   No excavation shall be made with a face steeper in slope than one and one-half to one vertical, unless a retaining wall or other approved support is provided to support the face of the excavation or fill. The City Engineer may upon request permit deviations from this standard, provided the soil report provides an analysis and recommendation to approve such deviations.
   .0102   The City Engineer may require the excavation or fill to be constructed with an exposed surface flatter in slope than one and one-half to one vertical, if he or she finds that under the particular conditions such flatter is necessary for stability and safety.
   .020   All slopes shall be protected immediately upon completion with an approved erosion control device, such as planting, or the placing of jute mesh or straw matting.
   .030   Fill material, after compaction, shall have a minimum relative density of not less than ninety percent of maximum dry density (or such lesser percentage as specified by the City Engineer and recommended by the soil engineer), as determined by the Modified AASHO Soil Compaction Test, or other approved testing method giving equivalent test results.
   .040   This section applies to all excavations and fills in the City of Anaheim, regardless of whether a permit is required by this chapter for such excavation, except that the test and reports specified by this section shall not be necessary in connection with excavations or fills for which no permit is required.
