(A) General. Grading operations for which a permit is required shall be subject to inspections by the Town Engineer. Professional inspection of grading operations by a civil engineer, soils engineer and an engineering geologist retained by the permittee may be required by the Town Engineer. These professionals shall provide such services in accordance with § 152.123(B).
(B) Permittee. The permittee shall be responsible for the work to be performed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications and in conformance with the provisions of this chapter, and the permittee shall engage consultants, as required, to provide professional inspections on a timely basis. The permittee shall act as a coordinator between the consultants, the contractor and the Town Engineer. In the event of changed conditions, the permittee shall be responsible for informing the Town Engineer of such change and shall provide revised plans for approval.
(C) Town Engineer. The Town Engineer or his or her representative shall inspect the project at the various stages of work requiring approval to determine that adequate control is being exercised by the permittee and his professional consultants.
(D) Notification of noncompliance. If, in the course of fulfilling their respective duties under this section, the civil engineer, the soils engineer or the engineering geologist finds that the work is not being done in conformance with this chapter or the approved grading plans, the discrepancies shall be reported immediately in writing to the permittee and to the Town Engineer.
(E) Transfer of responsibility. If the civil engineer, the soils engineer, or the engineering geologist of record is changed during grading, the work shall be stopped until the replacement has agreed in writing to accept their responsibility within the area of technical competence for approval upon completion of work. It shall be the duty of the permittee to notify the Town Engineer in writing of such change prior to the re-commencement of such grading. The permittee is still ultimately responsible for all work under the grading permit being carried out in a proper manner and in conformance with the permit and plans.
