(a) 
Adequate provisions shall be made to prevent any surface waters from damaging the cut face of an excavation or sloping surface of a fill. Retaining walls or cribbing constructed in accordance with the requirements of the City Engineer shall be used wherever necessary to prevent the surface of any excavation or fill from exceeding at any point the maximum allowable slopes set forth herein.
(b) 
All draining provisions shall be of such design as to carry surface waters to the nearest practical storm drain, natural watercourse, or street approved by the City Engineer as a safe place to deposit and receive such waters.
(Ord. 242 Div. 2 (part), 1986)
All persons performing any grading operations shall put into effect all safety precautions which are necessary in the opinion of the City Engineer and shall remove all loose dirt from the grading site and provide adequate anti-erosion and/ or drainage devices, debris basins, or other safety devices to protect the life, limb, health, and welfare of private and public property of others from damage of any kind.
(Ord. 242 Div. 2 (part), 1986)
During grading operations the permittee shall be responsible for the prevention of damage to any public utilities or services. This responsibility applies within the limits of grading and along any routes of travel of equipment.
(Ord. 242 Div. 2 (part), 1986)
(a) 
No excavation shall be made sufficiently close to the property line to endanger any adjoining public street, sidewalk, alley, or other public property or any adjoining private property without supporting and protecting such adjoining public or private property from settling, cracking or other damage in a manner approved by the City Engineer.
(b) 
No person shall grade, whether or not a permit is required therefor under this Chapter, so that dirt, soil, rock, debris, or other material washed, eroded, or moved from the property by natural or artificial means creates a public nuisance or hazard, or an unlawful encroachment on other property or on a public road or street. Any such matter deposited within the right-of-way or a public road or street which may constitute a nuisance or hazard to public traffic shall be removed immediately, and failure to do so on notice from the City authorizes the City to have the matter removed at the expense of the responsible party and/or permit holder.
(c) 
Whenever any portion of the work requires entry onto adjacent property for any reason, the permit applicant shall obtain the written consent of the adjacent property owner or his authorized representative, and shall file a copy of said consent with the City Engineer before a permit for such work may be issued.
(Ord. 242 Div. 2 (part), 1986)
No person shall obstruct, impede or interfere with the natural flow of storm waters, whether unconfined upon the surface of the land, within land depressions or natural drainage ways, within unimproved channels or watercourses, or within improved ditches, channels or conduits, except for construction operations permitted by the City.
(Ord. 242 Div. 2 (part), 1986)
No person shall do any grading work on any levee without approval of the governmental agency responsible for the maintenance of the levee.
(Ord. 242 Div. 2 (part), 1986)
No person shall perform any work or construct any facility (including excavation or embankment, trenching, driveway construction, or drainage facility) within the right-of-way of a public road or street, or within an easement under the jurisdiction of this City, without a permit from the City.
(Ord. 242 Div. 2 (part), 1986)
If, at any stage of grading, the City Engineer determines by inspection that the nature of the formation is such that further work as authorized by an existing permit is likely to endanger any property or public way, the City Engineer may require as a condition to allowing the work to be continued that such reasonable safety precautions be taken as the City Engineer considers advisable to avoid such danger. "Safety precautions" may include but shall not be limited to specifying a flatter exposed slope, construction of additional drainage facilities, berms, terracing, compaction, cribbing, or retaining walls, or planting of slopes.
(Ord. 242 Div. 2 (part), 1986)
Whenever the City Engineer determines that any existing excavation or embankment or fill has become a hazard to life and limb, or endangers property, or adversely affects the safety, use, or stability of a public way or drainage channel, the owner of the property upon which the excavation or fill is located, or other person or agent in control of said property, upon receipt of notice in writing from the City Engineer shall within the period specified therein repair or eliminate such excavation or embankment so as to eliminate the hazard and be in conformance with the requirements of this Chapter.
