(a) No fill shall be made which creates an exposed surface steeper in average slope than two horizontal to one vertical exclusive of benches and exclusive of roundings described in subsection (b) unless a report satisfactory to the County Official is received from a landscape architect certifying that such steeper slope, considering the nature of the soils on the slope surface, will support the proposed planting to maturity without significant or excessive erosion and a report by a soil engineer is received certifying that he or she has investigated the property and that in the engineer's opinion such steeper slope will be stable and will not endanger any public or private property or result in the deposition of debris in any public way or interfere with any existing drainage course.
(b) All fill slopes which are major slopes shall be rounded into the existing terrain to produce a contoured transition from fill face to natural ground and abutting cut or fill surfaces where conditions permit.
