As a condition of each permit, periodic inspections and reports of reclamation activities shall be required of the permittee as follows.
(A) The permittee shall apply for a special inspection permit from the Planning Director, which shall be accompanied by the filing fee then in effect, at least 15 days before the conclusion of each stage of reclamation. The application shall include a brief written report which specifies how the reclamation at the site conforms or deviates from the reclamation plan.
(B) The Planning Director shall inspect the site within 30 days of receipt of the written report and application for a special inspection permit from the permittee. Failure to inspect within 30 days shall be deemed acceptance of the report and compliance with the reclamation plan, but shall not affect the duty of the operator to achieve compliance with respect to any subsequent stage of reclamation.
(C) Unless modified by the Commission or Council at the time of granting a permit pursuant to this title, each permittee shall apply for a special inspection permit from the Planning Director at least once in each calendar year; provided, however, that this division shall not be construed to require more than one inspection per year per mining permit unless additional yearly inspections are required as a condition of the granting of the permit.
