(A) Site inspection. Any party issued a permit pursuant to this chapter shall make the work-site available to the Division and to all others as authorized by law for inspection at all reasonable times during the execution of and upon completion of the work. No excavation shall be covered until it has been inspected and approved by the Division, if the Division has given that party notice of its intent to inspect the excavation. The permittee shall provide the Division with advance notice of at least one (1) day when the appropriate portion of the activity is ready for inspection, and if the Division fails to inspect after being provided such notice, the permittee may continue to perform the permitted activity. Any excavation that has been covered without a required approval or inspection shall be uncovered for inspection at that party's expense, upon request of the Division. If the construction or restoration does not meet the standards under this chapter, the Division may order corrective measures.
(B) Authority of the Director and the Division.
(1) At the time of inspection, the Division may order the immediate cessation of any work that it in good faith believes poses a serious threat to the life, health, safety or well-being of the public.
(2) The Director may issue an order to the permittee for any work that does not conform to the terms of the permit or other applicable ordinance, resolution, regulation, standard, condition, or code. The order shall state that failure to correct the violation will be cause for revocation of the permit. The permittee shall proceed with the corrective work before undertaking any additional work under the permit. Within ten (10) days after issuance of the order, the permittee shall present proof to the Director that the violation has been corrected. If such proof has not been presented within the required time, the Director may revoke the permit, or for good cause shown, extend the period of time allowed for the corrective work to be completed.
