The applicant shall be required to section the entire property which
is the subject of his permit into areas of not more than five acres, and he
shall so schedule the work of soil removal that the operation conducted in
one section shall be complete and that section at final grade before work
shall commence in any other section of the premises.
In the event the application for a soil removal permit involves the complete removal of a bank which extends above the elevation of the surrounding lands or above the elevation of a public road or street adjacent to said land upon which such removal project is to take place, said moving or removal of soil shall be conducted so as to leave the final grade of the land or lot from which the bank is to be removed at a grade that will not create a hazardous condition with respect to the surrounding lands or such public road or street. Wherever practical, the final grade shall not be lower than the grade of the surrounding lands or of such public road or street, and the final grade shall be established and maintained at a minimum of 1/2 of 1% to ensure proper drainage. In establishing final grades, the factors to be considered shall be the same as those listed in §
284-12 above.
Every soil removal project carried out and authorized under and pursuant
to a permit issued in accordance with the provisions of this chapter shall
be conducted and completed in such a manner as to not create any condition
hazardous to life or limb of any member of the public who has access to the
property or hazardous to the health, safety or welfare of the Borough. All
boulders, tree stumps and other debris shall be removed from the property
or completely burned, except that boulders may be buried.
No excavating operation shall be conducted except as follows:
A. In the daytime between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 5:00
p.m.
B. On weekdays between Monday and Saturday.

to any of the residents of the Borough.
