(8) Diversions shall be installed to divert surface water runoff from slopes of ten percent <br />or steeper. <br />(9) Provisions shall be made to effectively accommodate increased runoff from slopes <br />of ten percent or steeper. <br />(10) Cut and fill slopes shall not be steeper than three feet horizontal to one foot vertical <br />(3 :1) unless stabilized by a retaining wall, riprap, or other acceptable means. <br />(11) During grading operations, necessary measures for dust control, as required by the <br />city, shall be implemented. <br />(Code 1982, § 1008.14(8)) <br />Inspection. <br />(a) Generally. All grading operations for which erosion controls measures are required <br />shall be subject to inspection by the city. <br />(b) Regular Site Inspection. The City shall inspect sites permitted for construction by <br />building permits, grading permits and subdivision development. The inspections will be <br />made to insure conformance with the SWPPP and with the requirements of the MPCA <br />NPDES Construction Permit as they apply to the site. This regular site inspection does <br />not relieve the applicant of their responsibility to conduct site inspections as required in <br />the MPCA NPDES construction permit. <br />(c) The costs associated with regular site inspections will be the responsibility of the <br />applicant. In the case of sites less than twenty thousand (20,000) square feet this fee will <br />be charged at issuance of the building permit at a rate set in the schedule of fees approved <br />by the City Council. <br />(d) Regular grading requirements. The city may require inspection and testing by an <br />approved testing agency. The testing agency's responsibility shall include, but need not <br />be limited to, approval concerning the inspection of cleared areas and benches to receive <br />fill, and the compaction of fills. When the city has cause to believe that geologic factors <br />may be involved the grading operation will be required to conform to "engineered <br />grading" requirements. <br />(e) Notification of noncompliance. If, in the course of fulfilling his responsibility under <br />this chapter, the designer, the soils engineer, the engineering geologist or the testing <br />agency finds that the work is not being done in conformance with this ordinance or the <br />reviewed grading plans, the discrepancies shall be reported immediately in writing to the <br />person in charge of grading work and to the city. Recommendations for corrective <br />measures, if necessary, shall be submitted. <br />(f) Transfer of responsibility for approval. If the designer, the soils engineer, the <br />engineering geologist or the testing agency of record is changed during the course of the <br />work, the work shall be stopped until the replacement has agreed to accept the <br />responsibility within the area of his technical competence for approval upon completion <br />of the work. <br />11 <br />
