§ 10-17 HAWAII COUNTY CODE (b) The permittee shall notify the director of public works at least two days before the permittee or the permittee's agent begins any grading, grubbing or stockpiling. A copy of the permit, approved plans and specifications for grading, grubbing, or stockpiling shall be maintained at the site during the progress of any 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 grading, grubbing, or stockpiling permit, the director of public works may stop the grading, grubbing, or stockpiling until revised plans, based upon the existing conditions, are submitted by the permittee and approved by the director of public works. Approval or disapproval of applicant's revised plan shall be made within fourteen days from the date of receipt by the director of public works. (c) If the director of public works or the director's representative finds that the work is not being done in conformance with this chapter or the plans and specifications approved by the director of public works, the director shall immediately notify the person in charge of the grading work of the nonconformity and immediately notify the responsible party of need for corrective measures to be taken. Grading operations shall cease until corrective measures satisfactory to the director of public works have been taken. (d) When a permittee has been served with a written notice, either by mail or personal service for failure to comply with any provision of this chapter, or when a permittee has had the permittee's permit suspended or revoked by the director of public works, the permittee and any person connected with execution of the work authorized by the permit shall be denied a grading, grubbing, or stockpiling permit for such work until the permittee has complied and initiated action satisfactory to the director of public works to comply with the provisions of this chapter.
