A. Grading Plans. Grading plans shall be submitted with each grading permit application, be drawn to scale, be of sufficient clarity to indicate the nature and extent of the grading work to be performed, and show in detail that such work will conform to the grading standards and any other applicable laws, regulations and conditions. Every grading plan shall include the following information:
1. General vicinity of the site of the proposed grading work;
2. Property limits, accurate contours of the existing ground, and details of terrain and area drainage;
3. The location of all buildings and structures on the property where the grading work is to be performed, and all buildings and structures on adjacent property that are within 15 feet of the location of the proposed grading work or that may be affected by the grading operations;
4. The height of all cuts, the depth of all fills, and a description and estimated volume, in cubic yards, of all on-site and imported fill materials;
5. Limited dimensions, elevations or finished contours to be achieved by the grading, and proposed drainage channels and related construction;
6. Detailed plans of all surface and subsurface drainage devices, walls, cribbing, temporary erosion control measures, dams and other protective devices to be constructed with, or as part of the proposed grading work, together with a map showing the drainage area and the estimated runoff of the area served by any drains;
7. A plan for the disposal and deposition of any spoils and vegetative wastes that result from the grading work; and
8. All recommendations included in any required soils engineering report or engineering geology report.
B. Grading Specifications. When required by the building official, grading specifications shall contain information covering construction and material requirements as well as any recommendations included in any required soils engineering report or engineering geology report.
C. Soils Engineering Report. When required by the building official, a soils engineering report shall include data regarding the nature, distribution and strength of existing soils, conclusions and recommendations for grading procedures, design criteria for corrective measures, including buttress fills when necessary, and opinions and recommendations covering adequacy of sites to be developed by the grading, including the stability of slopes.
D. Engineering Geology Report. When required by the building official, an engineering geology report shall include an adequate description of the geology of the site, the grading work to be performed, conclusions arid recommendations regarding the effect of geologic conditions on the proposed development, and opinions and recommendations covering the adequacy of sites to be developed by the grading.
