§ 153.100 SITE PREPARATION STANDARDS.
   The following standards shall be met during construction of the subdivision:
   (A)   (1)   All lots and other land included within a subdivision shall be graded in accordance with the approved Drainage Control and Erosion Control Plans.
      (2)   Except for land covered by buildings, included in streets, or where the grade has not been changed and natural vegetation not seriously disturbed, the land shall be covered with topsoil containing no particles more than two inches in diameter and having an average depth of at least six inches.
      (3)   Topsoil shall not be removed from residential lots or used as spoil but shall be redistributed so as to provide at least six inches of cover between sidewalks and curbs and between shoulders and right-of-way lines and shall be stabilized by seeding or planting.
   (B)   No cut trees, timber, debris, rocks, stones, junk, rubbish, or other waste material shall be buried in any land, or left or deposited on any lot or street at the time of occupancy within a subdivision, nor shall any such material be left or deposited in any area of the subdivision at the time of expiration of the performance guarantee or dedication of public improvements.
   (C)   The Administrator may require the subdivider to provide and install fences wherever the Administrator determines that a hazardous condition may exist.
   (D)   No utility company shall cut, dig, trench, or otherwise interfere with the surface or subsurface of any county road prior to notification of the County Highway Department. The County Highway Department shall have the right to designate when the road work may be started in order to minimize congestion during peak traffic periods.
   (E)   Areas within the right-of-way of a county road that are disturbed by a utility company or its subcontractor during the installation of equipment shall be returned to their original condition. Vegetation that is removed shall be replaced by sodding the disturbed area, or seeding, mulching, and fertilizing the area to prevent erosion.
   (F)   Construction signs and barricades shall be adequate to protect the area under construction, workers, and the traveling public. The subdivider shall be responsible for maintaining the signs and barricades to the satisfaction of the Administrator.
