To facilitate inspections by the Administrator and to ensure compliance with the approved erosion and sediment control plan, the grading or building permit, and this chapter, the permittee shall notify the Administrator within one to three working days of the completion of the construction stages specified below:
(A) For Class 1 land disturbance permits:
(1) Upon completion of installation of sediment and runoff control (controls and diversions), prior to proceeding with any other earth disturbance or grading;
(2) After stripping and clearing;
(3) After rough grading;
(4) After final grading;
(5) After seeding and landscaping deadlines; and
(6) After final stabilization and landscaping, prior to removal of sediment controls.
(B) For Class 2 land disturbance permits only items (1), (3), and (6) in the above division (A) shall apply.
(C) If stripping, clearing, grading, and/or landscaping are to be done in phases or separate areas, the permittee shall give notice at the completion of each of the above work stages in each phase or area.
(D) Special precautions.
(1) If at any stage of the grading of any development site the Administrator determines by inspection that the nature of the site is such that further work authorized by an existing permit is likely to imperil any property, public way, stream, lake, wetland, or drainage structure, the Administrator may require, as a condition of allowing the work to be done, that such reasonable special precautions be taken as is considered advisable to avoid the likelihood of such peril. “Special precautions” may include, but shall not be limited to, a more level exposed slope, construction of additional drainage facilities, berms, terracing, compaction, or cribbing, installation of plant materials for erosion control, and
(2) Recommendations of a soil scientist and/or engineering geologist, which may outline requirements for further work.
(3) Where it appears that storm damage may occur due to incomplete grading at the site, work may be stopped and the permittee required to install temporary structures or take such other measures as may be required to protect adjoining property or the public safety. On large developments or where unusual site conditions prevail, the Administrator may specify the start and end dates for grading operations or may require that the operations be conducted in specific stages so as to ensure completion of protective measures or devices prior to the advent of seasonal rains.
