Where an excess of 5,000 cubic yards of earth material for a project site is transported over public roadways to or from the project site as part of the grading work, all of the following requirements shall apply:
(A) Either water or dust preventative spray material (or both) shall be consistently applied for prevention of dust resulting from the loading or transportation of earth to or from the project site on public roadways. The permittee shall be responsible for maintaining public rights-of-way, used for transporting materials, in a condition free of dust, earth or debris attributed to the grading work;
(B) Loading and transporting of earth materials to or from the site must be accomplished within the times set forth in § 15.36.130;
(C) Access roads to the site shall be only at points designated on the approved plans;
(D) At a minimum, the first 50 feet of access road adjacent to the intersection with the public roadway shall have a grade not to exceed 5%. There must be a 300 foot clear, unobstructed sight distance to the intersection from both the public roadway and the access road. If the 5% grade or 300 foot sight distance requirements cannot be obtained due to site constraints, then flagmen shall be posted at the access road and shall remain for the entire duration of material transportation operations;
(E) A stop sign conforming to the requirements of the California Vehicle Code shall be posted at the exit of the access road to the public roadway;
(F) Advanced warning signs along with traffic control and safety devices shall be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer and shall be posted on the public roadway in the vicinity of the access intersection as required by the current Work Area Traffic Control Handbook "WATCH" manual. The size, shape, color, number, spacing and other details of all such signs and devices shall conform to the standards contained therein and in the current State of California Department of Transportation "Traffic Manual." The advanced warning signs and other devices shall be covered or removed when the access intersection is not in use.
(Ord. 3378 § 5 (part), 2023; Ord. 2568 § 1, 2002.)
(A) The City Engineer may specify the route for moving any earth materials over public streets, whether or not the destination site or origination site of the earth materials is subject to a grading permit. The City Engineer may further specify load limits where, in his or her opinion, the standard load capacity of vehicles used in such hauling would cause excessive damage to streets on the designated route. Any specified route or load limit shall be made in writing and a copy shall be provided to the Traffic Division of the Public Works Department and the Traffic Division of the City Police Department. Deviation from the designated route or load limits shall constitute a violation of this chapter.
(B) Any person moving earth materials in violation of the chapter shall be financially responsible for any damage to the public streets and shall pay to the city the cost, as determined by the City Engineer, of repairing such damage or shall repair the damage to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
(C) At least 24 hours before moving the earth materials is to commence, the applicant shall notify the City of Corona Public Works Department, Traffic Division and Inspection Division.
(Ord. 3378 § 5 (part), 2023; Ord. 2568 § 1, 2002.)
(A) Vehicle Code § 23112(b) forbids the placing, dumping or depositing of earth materials on public streets or any portion of the public right-of-way. All vehicles engaged in moving earth materials shall refrain from depositing earth materials on public streets by any means, including, but not limited to, spillage from the bed of a truck or other vehicle and debris collected on the wheels of a vehicle. The City Engineer may require a cash deposit from any person moving earth materials over public streets to ensure the cleanup of public streets.
(B) Any person moving earth materials over public streets shall be responsible for the immediate and complete removal of any materials spilled, dumped or deposited on a public street. If the person fails to immediately remove such spillage, dumping or deposited material, and it is necessary for the city to complete the removal, the responsible party, permittee or property owner from where the material was removed from or deposited to shall be liable to the city for the cost of such removal work. A cash deposit may be required to insure the cleanup of public streets prior to approval of the haul route.

(A) Each adjacent property owner is entitled to the lateral and subjacent support which his or her land receives from the adjoining land. Any person making an excavation shall use ordinary care and skill in making the excavation and shall take all necessary steps to protect the adjacent property from possible damage resulting from the excavation.
(B) Any property owner or lessee intending to permit or to make an excavation greater than ten feet in depth within 15 feet of his or her property line(s) shall give reasonable notice to the property owner(s) of land abutting the property line(s) affected by such excavation, stating the depth for which such excavation is intended to be made and when the excavation will begin.
