(A) The permit holder shall comply with all statutes and rules and regulations of the Illinois and U.S. Environmental Protection Agencies.
(B) Foundations shall be demolished to a level at least three feet below the final surface level. Basement floors shall be broken so as to drain.
(C) No fill shall be permitted unless it is compacted and will retain compaction permanently without settling, which would include but not be limited to soil, masonry rubble smaller than one foot in the largest dimension, or rock. All other material shall be considered waste and shall be removed from the site and disposed of at a state approved landfill, and landfill receipts shall be exhibited for the Building Official before completion shall be approved.
(D) Burning of waste material is prohibited.
(E) Upon completion, the area shall be covered with a minimum of six inches of soil capable of encouraging vegetation, compacted, graded and seeded. This division (E) shall be waived at the discretion of the Building Inspector, where the owner has on file with the village an issued building permit to construct a building to replace the one being demolished, and construction under the building permit is started within six months of the completion of the demolition; in which event, however, the permit holder during any interim period before construction begins is required to either provide a temporary fill to approximate ground level or provide a fence around any open excavated area of sufficient size and strength to protect against persons being injured because of the excavation.
(F) Surface drainage shall not adversely affect adjoining property.
(G) All work shall start upon issuance of the permit and proceed in a reasonably continuous manner to completion, with a 30-day maximum completion time from the date of the permit.
(H) The permit holder shall be solely liable for all claims of third persons for damage to persons or property, and the village by issuing the permit makes no representations concerning the permit holder’s performance of the work or that he or she has fully complied with all laws, rules and regulations applicable.
(I) The permit holder shall leave the premises in a clean and presentable condition, per division (E) above, and notify the Building Official of completion. Completion shall not be acceptable until the Building Official issues a certificate of completion.
(J) The permit holder shall assure that suitable barriers, fences, flagging tape or other methods shall be erected to deny the public reasonable access to excavations during the entire period of demolition.
