The provisions of this Appendix J shall not apply to grading, excavation and earthwork construction, including fills and embankments, in floodways within flood hazard areas established in Section 1612.3 or in flood hazard areas where design flood elevations are specified but floodways have not been designated, unless it has been demonstrated through hydrologic and hydraulic - 50 - analyses performed in accordance with standard engineering practice that the proposed work will not result in any increase in the level of the base flood. J101.3 Hazards. Whenever the building official determines that any land or any existing excavation or fill has, from any cause, become a menace to life or limb, or endangers public or private property, or adversely affects the safety, use or stability of public or private property, the owner or other person in legal control of the property concerned shall, upon receipt of a written notice thereof from the building official, correct such condition in accordance with the provisions of this Appendix J and the requirements and conditions set forth in the notice so as to eliminate such condition. The owner or other person in legal control of the property shall immediately comply with the provisions set forth in the notice and shall complete the work within 180 days from the date of the notice unless a shorter period of time for completion has been specified in the notice in which case the owner shall comply with the shorter period of time. Upon written application and good cause shown, the building official may approve the request for an extension of time to complete the work required by the notice. J101.4 Safety precautions. 1. If at any stage of work on an excavation or fill, the building official determines that the work has become or is likely to become dangerous to any person, or is likely to endanger any property, public or private, the building official is hereby authorized to require safety precautions to be immediately taken by the property owner as a condition to continuing such permitted work or to require cessation thereof forthwith unless and until it is made safe and to - 51 - amend the plans for such work. 2. Safety precautions may include, but shall not be limited to, specifying a flatter exposed slope or construction of additional drainage facilities, berms, terracing, compaction, cribbing, retaining walls or buttress fills, slough walls, desilting basins, check dams, benching, wire mesh and guniting, rock fences, revetments or diversion walls. 3. Upon the determination of the building official that such safety precautions during grading are necessary, the building official shall provide a notice and order to the permittee to implement same. After receiving such notice in writing it is unlawful for the permittee or any person to proceed with such work contrary to such order. J101.5 Protection of utilities. The owner and permittee of any property on which grading has been performed and that requires a grading permit under Section J103 shall be jointly and severally responsible for the prevention of damage to any public utilities or services. J101.6 Protection of adjacent property. The owner and permittee of any property on which grading has been performed and that requires a grading permit under Section J103 shall be jointly responsible for the prevention of damage to adjacent property and no person shall excavate on land sufficiently close to the property line to endanger any adjoining public street, sidewalk, alley, or other public or private property without supporting and protecting such property from settling, cracking or other damage that might result. Special precautions approved by the building official shall be made to prevent imported or exported materials from being deposited on the - 52 - adjacent public way and/or drainage courses. J101.7 Storm water control measures. The owner and permittee of any property on which grading has been performed and that requires a grading permit under Section J103 shall put into effect and maintain all precautionary measures necessary to protect adjacent water courses and public or private property from damage by erosion, flooding, and deposition of mud, debris and construction -related pollutants originating from the site during, and after, grading and related construction activities. Furthermore, the owner and permittee shall be jointly and severally responsible for putting into effect and maintaining appropriate measures as deemed by the building official to be necessary to prevent any change in cross -lot surface drainage that may adversely affect any adjoining property as a result of grading, construction -related activities or both. Such measures to prevent any adverse cross -lot surface drainage effects on adjoining property shall be required whether shown on approved grading plans or not. J101.8 Conditions of approval. In granting any permit under this code, the building official may include such conditions as he/she deems to be reasonably necessary to prevent the creation of a nuisance or hazard to public or private property. Such conditions may include, but shall not be limited to: 1. Improvement of any existing grading to comply with the standards of this code. 2. Requirements for fencing of excavations or fills which would otherwise be hazardous. 3. Establishment of haul routes. 4.

J101.10 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System General. All grading plans and permits shall comply with the provisions of Chapter 21 of the City Code. Sites which have been graded and which require a grading permit under Appendix J Section J103 are subject to penalties and fines. Payment of penalty fines shall not relieve any persons from fully complying with the requirements of this code in the execution of the work. All best management practices shall be installed before grading begins or as instructed in writing by the building official. As grading progresses, all best management practices shall be updated as necessary to prevent erosion and control construction related pollutants from discharging from the site. All best management practices shall be maintained in good working order to the satisfaction of the building official unless final grading approval has been granted by the building official and all permanent drainage and erosion control systems, if required, are in place.
