During the preparation of a site for the placement of fills which exceed five feet (5') in depth on slopes which exceed ten percent (10%) and during the placing of such fills; however, for vehicular pathways, fill placement shall be continuously inspected when fills exceed ten feet (10') in height.
2. During the preparation of a site for the placement of any fill and during the placement of such fill which is intended to support any building or structure.
3. During the installation of subsurface drainage facilities.
(B) Reports filed by the geotechnical engineer or civil engineer competent to do so regarding special inspection shall state in writing that from his personal knowledge the work performed during the period covered by the report has been performed in substantial accordance with the approved plans and specifications.
(C) The use of a geotechnical engineer or civil engineer competent to do so for inspections shall not preclude the city engineer from conducting inspections using his other authorized inspectors as may be necessary. (Ord. 1523, 4-11-1995)
