The permittee shall notify the director at least two days prior to beginning any grading or grubbing. The director may require a pre-construction meeting prior to commencement of the work.

Where it is found by inspection that the soil or other conditions are not the same as stated or shown in the application for a grading or grubbing permit, the director may stop the grading or grubbing until revised grading or grubbing plans, based upon the existing conditions, are submitted by the permittee and approved by the director. Permittees shall comply with state and county laws and regulations; the recommendations of the soil and water conservation district(s) as approved by the County; and the requirements of the department of land and natural resources' state historic preservation division. The director or any state or county agency with authority relevant to the work, including soil and water conservation district(s), the department of planning, or the department of land and natural resources' state historic preservation division, shall be allowed onto the property for which a grading and grubbing permit has been issued to ensure compliance with this section.
