Inspections and stopping work when grading is not done right

(a) Each permit issued under this chapter includes the right to the chief engineer or the chief engineer’s authorized representatives to enter upon and to inspect the grading, grubbing, or stockpiling operations and if applicable, the erosion control plan and provisions and measures to control pollutants in stormwater discharges during construction. (b) The permittee shall notify the chief engineer at least two days before the permittee or the permittee’s agent begins any grading, grubbing, or stockpiling. Where applicable and feasible, the measures to control erosion and other pollutants shall be in place before any earth moving phase of the grading is initiated. A copy of the permit, the erosion control plans, and the NPDES permit where applicable, plans and specifications for grading, grubbing, or stockpiling shall be maintained at the site during the progress of any work. (c) If the chief engineer or the chief engineer’s representative finds that the work is not being done in conformance with this chapter; or the plans; or the erosion control plans; or in accordance with accepted practices, the chief engineer shall immediately notify the person in charge of the grading work of the nonconformity and of the corrective measures to be taken. Grading operations shall cease until corrective measures satisfactory to the chief engineer have been taken. In addition, whenever the work is not being done in conformance with an NPDES permit, the State department of health will be notified. )
