D.
If a permit holder determines that his excavating requirements
exceed those authorized under his permit, he must amend his original application,
pay whatever additional fees are required and obtain an amended permit before
excavating beyond the authorized amount.
A bond or cash deposit shall be posted with the Zoning Enforcement Officer as required by § 70-6 of this chapter, which bond or cash deposit to be determined by the Town Board shall in no event be less than $1,000 for each proposed acre of excavation.
