A. 
All work performed as a consequence of these Rules and Regulations shall be subject to the review of the Board, which shall approve and accept or disapprove and reject each phase or portion of such work and at completion shall recommend the acceptance of all work or disapproval of the work with reasons therefor. The Board will employ a Registered Professional Engineer to act as its agent in the inspection of the work to insure compliance with these Rules and Regulations and to report to the Board his recommendations as to approval or disapproval of the work. Such Engineer will make certain inspections as prescribed herein in order to check the adequacy of the work at various stages prior to such work being covered by subsequent work. However, the Board, its Engineer, and such other persons as the Board may designate shall have the right to inspect the work any time. Therefore, the applicant shall at any time provide safe and convenient access to all parts of the work for inspection by the Board or its authorized agents.
B. 
All work which has been disapproved or is not acceptable to the Board shall be removed and replaced or otherwise corrected to the point of complying with the requirements of the Board for acceptance. Any work which has been covered by subsequent work prior to acceptance, or is otherwise not available or obscured to the point of rendering inspection of the work difficult, shall be considered to be not acceptable to the Board. Such subsequent work shall be removed as directed by the Engineer to insure availability of the work to be inspected as required herein. The release of the performance guarantee shall depend upon the acceptance of all work prescribed herein and on the Definitive Plan and as directed by the Board.
C. 
At points indicated in Article V and as further described hereinafter, the construction of the required improvements shall be inspected by the Board's Engineer or authorized agent, and unless approval of the work completed, including approval of materials used, to each such point has been given in writing, no further work shall be commenced. Such inspections may include the taking of certain samples for laboratory analysis or testing; in such cases, the applicant shall insure that the Engineer is in no way hindered or obstructed in the course of obtaining such samples. Where such samples are removed from the completed work, the applicant shall replace and restore such work, to the satisfaction of the Engineer, to its condition prior to the taking of the sample. The Engineer may require certified copies of delivery receipts or bills of lading or other certification as to the description of materials used or incorporated in the work. The Engineer may also require a sample of any materials or supplies which may be incorporated in the work; such samples shall be furnished at the expense of the applicant, and the applicant shall be liable for all costs and fees incurred by the Board as a result of testing such materials.
A. 
After approval of the Definitive Plan and subsequent to the receipt by the Board of the fee required in § 530-3.3I, the Board will notify the applicant of the name and address of the Engineer designated as its representative to perform the inspections as required herein and otherwise act as the Board's agent to insure compliance with these Rules and Regulations. The applicant shall keep the Engineer fully informed as to the status and progress of the work and shall notify the Engineer directly (by mail or in-person telephone) at least 48 hours in advance that the work has progressed to a stage that an inspection is required.
B. 
In the event that the Engineer is unable for 48 hours after the work is ready to make such inspection or examination, the applicant shall notify the Chairman or Clerk of the Board to such effect, who will designate an alternate to make such inspection and shall so notify the applicant.
C. 
In the event, the Engineer makes an inspection of the work at the time designated and finds that such work is not at the proper stage of completion or that the work has been covered or otherwise obscured; the Engineer shall notify the applicant and the Board as to the additional steps the applicant shall take to complete the work to the point required or to the extent the work shall be uncovered or exposed to full view. The applicant shall notify the Engineer again when the work is ready as prescribed in Subsection A.
D. 
The applicant shall be liable for all costs and fees incurred by the Board as a result of requests by the applicant for an inspection of the work which, in the opinion of the Board, was not at an acceptable stage of completion for such inspection.
E. 
To defray the cost of each reinspection of the same improvement caused by the failure of such improvement to meet the applicable specifications, the subdivider shall at the time of each request for each subsequent inspection, pay to the Town of Hull the full amount reasonably necessary to cover the costs of such reinspections.
A. 
Prior to the inspection of any phase of the work, it shall be the applicant's responsibility to provide sufficient line stakes and grade stakes to insure that a proper inspection maybe made. These horizontal and vertical control stakes must be laid out to conform to the lines and grades shown on the approved Definitive Plan or any approved amendment thereto.
B. 
The engineer will advise the Board at anytime during the construction if, in his opinion, he believes that the work has not been laid out to the lines and grades as shown on the Definitive Plan. In such cases, the Board will proceed as described in § 530-5.2.
C. 
Any costs which, in the opinion of the Board, are the responsibility of the applicant as noted in § 530-5.2 shall be in addition to the fees required elsewhere herein.
The following inspections of the required improvements will be made by the Board's engineer or authorized agent. These inspections may be in addition to any other inspections the Board may make or cause to be made.
A. 
First Inspection. An inspection will be made of the work upon completion of all clearing, grubbing and excavation and all work incidental thereto as may be required or implied in § 530-5.3. No fill shall have been placed at the time of this inspection.
B. 
Second Inspection. An inspection will be made of the outfall, which shall be laid as the first part of the drainage system, and which shall be placed above the ten-year flood elevation, or at higher elevation, if required by the Planning Board [§ 530-4.3B(4)]. The Engineer shall be satisfied that the placement of the outfall is consistent with the requirements of these Regulations, the Definitive Plan, and the existing conditions of the site. Upon approval, the Engineer shall require that the outfall be permanently set to the line and grade approved; and shall require that the applicant, either at that time or prior to the third inspection, submit certification of the final invert elevation at the outfall.
C. 
Third Inspection. An inspection will be made of the completed drainage system (without backfill) as required or implied herein or on the Definitive Plan. At the same time, or such other time as the work may be available, an inspection will be made of the completed municipal services (without backfill) as required on the Definitive Plan. The inspection of the required municipal services will be made by the agency responsible for the particular service. Each agency so involved will notify the Board's Engineer of the approval of such work.
(1) 
Backfill of any portion of the drainage system or municipal services shall not be made until after receipt of notification of approval or acceptance by the Engineer or agency responsible.
(2) 
The inspection of the construction of the ways shall include the inspection of the backfilling and compaction of all utility trenches as may be installed by utility companies, and such work shall be performed in the manner as required by these Rules and Regulations. It shall be the applicant's responsibility to insure compliance with these requirements. If, in the opinion of the Planning Board, the backfilling and compaction of utility trenches and the patching of the pavement, if required, has not been performed in accordance with these Rules and Regulations, the Planning Board may not release the bond or covenant applicable until such work has been performed to the satisfaction of the Planning Board.
D. 
Fourth Inspection. An inspection will be made of the compacted fill as specified in § 530-5.6 and as may be required to bring the roadways to their proposed grades. The applicant shall notify the Engineer as to his source of gravel for fill as soon as such information is known, so that samples may be taken and analyzed by the Engineer. The applicant is hereby advised not to proceed with the filling operation until such time as the Engineer notifies the applicant that the gravel proposed for the fill is acceptable, if the applicant proceeds with the fill prior to such notice he does so at his own risk. The applicant shall not use a gravel source other than the one designated without prior notice to the Engineer.
E. 
Fifth Inspection. An inspection will be made of the first six-inch layer of compacted roadway foundation as specified in § 530-5.7. A gravel sample or samples may be taken at the option of the engineer, in the same manner as prescribed for the Fourth Inspection.
