(A) Once an applicant has obtained an encroachment permit, work and any haulage may begin during the specified time. Said work shall progress in a prompt and orderly fashion without unnecessary delays and shall be performed in a good and professional manner in accordance with the plans, specifications and conditions set forth in the encroachment permit.
(B) The encroachment must come to an end within the time set forth in the permit unless an extension is requested in writing by the permittee and the Supervisor in writing finds good cause to grant the permittee’s request. In the event the permittee fails to complete the permitted work by the completion date, the Supervisor shall either require a new encroachment permit to be issued, with new permit fees paid, or determine that such failure constitutes grounds for the forfeiture of the bond or guarantee.
(C) Excavation operations shall be conducted in such a manner to ensure minimum interference or interruption of road traffic and inconvenience to residents and businesses fronting on public roads. Suitable, adequate and sufficient barricades as specified in the MUTCD shall be provided by the permittee and used where necessary to prevent accidents. Barricades must be placed until all excavators’ equipment is removed from the site, excavation is backfilled and a proper temporary gravel surface is placed. From sunset to sunrise, all barricades and excavations must be clearly outlined by acceptable warning lights, lanterns, flares and other devices as specified in the MUTCD. The County Sheriff’s Office Dispatch, State Highway Patrol, all cities and towns within a ten-mile radius of the project and local fire departments shall be notified by the permittee at least 24 hours in advance of any planned excavation requiring road closures or detours.
(D) Where required by the Supervisor, haulage activities shall require continuous dust control and maintenance of the haul route to assure the safety of motorists and other users.
(E) Special signing shall be required as indicated by the MUTCD.
(F) Any damage to any county road rights-of-way shall be promptly reported by the permittee to the Supervisor.
(G) All loads shall be legal under applicable state law, and drivers shall strictly comply with all applicable vehicle and traffic laws.
(H) Unless otherwise agreed to by the Supervisor, all costs for dust control maintenance, signing, repairs and preventive measures shall be borne by the permittee.
(I) The permittee, its employees, contractors and associates shall be bound by all conditions and agreements in effect between the county and other governments, private agencies and individuals to the degree such matters are set forth in the encroachment permit or are otherwise known to the permittee.
