review the plan and narrative in an effort to establish a formal soil
conservation plan to be followed by the owner. A bond or letter of
credit, as approved by the Director of Planning, shall be established
prior to the commencement of any preconstruction activity which requires
soil conservation measures. This bond shall cover the full cost of

methods and shall be kept in effect until soil stabilization has occurred.
In the event of final construction, the bond may be incorporated into
the construction letter of credit. Written acceptance of the plan
and bond amount by the Director of Planning shall constitute permission
for the owner to proceed.
