EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL § 10-14 Section 10-14. Denial. (a) If the director of public works finds that the work as proposed by the applicant is likely to endanger any property or public way or structure or endanger the public health or welfare, the director shall deny the grading, grubbing or stockpiling permit. Factors to be considered in determining probability of hazardous conditions shall include, but not be limited to, possible saturation of the ground by rains, earth movements, geological or flood hazards, undesirable surface water runoff, subsurface conditions such as the stratification and faulting of rock and the nature and type of soil or rock. (b) Failure of the director of public works to observe or recognize hazardous conditions or the director's failure to deny the grading, grubbing or stockpiling permit shall not relieve the permittee or the permittee's agent from being responsible, or cause the County, its officers or agents, to be held responsible for the conditions or damages resulting therefrom. (1983 CC, c 10, art 2, sec 10-14; am 2001, ord 01-108, sec 1.) Section 10-15. Suspension or revocation. (a) The director of public works may, in writing, suspend or revoke a permit issued under the provisions of this chapter whenever: (1) The permit has been issued on the basis of incorrect or insufficient information supplied by the permittee; (2) The grading, grubbing, or stockpiling is not being performed in accordance with the terms and provisions of the permit; or (3) The grading, grubbing, or stockpiling discloses objectionable or unsafe conditions. (b) When a permit has been suspended or revoked, the permittee may submit detailed plans and proposals for compliance with the provisions of this chapter and for correcting the objectionable or unsafe conditions. Upon approval of such plans and proposals by the director of public works, the director may authorize the permittee in writing, to proceed with the work.
