The following requirements shall apply to "supervised grading" as referenced in Section 87.420:
(a) Requirements Applicable to the Permit Compliance Engineer. It shall be the responsibility of the Permit Compliance Engineer to oversee and coordinate all field surveys, setting of grade stakes in conformance with the plans, and site inspection during grading operations to assure that the site is graded in accordance with the permit, this Division and the San Diego County Watershed Protection and Stormwater Management Ordinance (Division 7 of Title 6 of this Code). This responsibility shall not include the superintendency of the contractor's equipment or personnel. The Permit Compliance Engineer shall file reports with the County Official, as follows:
(1) Said reports shall be filed at the following intervals:
(aa) weekly, during all times when grading of 200 cubic yards or more per week is active on the site;
(bb) monthly, at all other times; and
(cc) at any time when requested in writing by the County Official.
(2) Such reports shall certify to the County Official that the Permit Compliance Engineer has inspected the grading and related activities and has found them to substantially comply with the approved grading plans, the grading permit including any conditions thereof, this Division, and other applicable County ordinances, except with regards to any areas of noncompliance which the engineer shall specify in detail. The reports shall contain all matters required in a standard Report of Grading Activities form which the County Official shall publish.
(b) Other Requirements. Soils reports shall be required and geology reports may also be required as specified in Sections 87.421(b) and (c). In addition to the copies filed with the County Official, copies of such reports shall be sent by the permittee to the Permit Compliance Engineer. The soil engineer shall make such tests and inspections as necessary to assure that the recommendations given in the soils report and incorporated in the grading plan or specifications or the permit have been followed.
(Added by Ord. No. 9547 (N.S.), effective 5-9-03; amended by Ord. No. 9634 (N.S.), effective 4-23-04)
If in the course of fulfilling his responsibility under this Division, the Permit Compliance Engineer or the soil engineer finds that the work is not being done in conformance with this Division or the plans approved by the County Official, or in accordance with accepted practices, he or she shall immediately notify the permittee, the person in charge of the grading work and the County Official in writing of the nonconformity and of the corrective measures which should be taken.
(Added by Ord. No. 9547 (N.S.), effective 5-9-03)
(a) If at any stage of the work the County Official determines that further grading as authorized is likely to endanger any public or private property or result in the deposition of debris on any public way or interfere with any existing drainage course, the County Official may require as a condition to allowing the work to be continued, that such reasonable safety precautions (including forensic testing or other measures) be taken as he or she considers advisable to avoid such likelihood of danger.
(b) In the event the work does not conform to the permit or the plans or specifications or any instructions of the County Official, notice to comply shall be given to the permittee in writing. After a notice to comply is given, a period of 10 days shall be allowed for the permittee or his contractor to begin to make the corrections, unless an imminent hazard exists, in which case the County Official may require that the corrective work begin immediately.
(c) If the County Official finds any existing conditions not as stated in the application, grading permit or approved plans, he or she may refuse to approve further work until approval is obtained for a revised grading plan which will conform to the existing conditions.
