Call For Utility Marking Prior To Excavation. Prior to any excavation being conducted in the City of Camdenton, such persons causing excavation to be made and those persons making such excavation shall request all applicable utility providers, including the City of Camdenton, to mark the location of utilities in the area of the proposed excavation.

Other Permits May Be Required. The applicant for a permit hereunder assumes the responsibility of obtaining any other necessary permits or permission for excavation.
Monuments And Markers. Monuments and markers set for the purpose of locating or preserving property lines or subdivision lines or precise survey reference points or a permanent survey bench mark shall not be removed or disturbed or caused to be removed or disturbed unless permission to do so is first obtained in writing from the Building Inspector. Permission shall be granted only upon condition that the permittee under this Article shall pay all expenses incident to the proper replacement of the marker.
Drainage. When excavation is conducted or other work done which may interfere with established drainage systems, provision shall be made to provide proper drainage to the satisfaction of the Public Works Director and/or Building Inspector. No alteration of established drainage shall be made prior to issuance of a permit as required herein.
Barricades. No person shall make, or cause to be made, any excavation without adequately protecting the same so as to prevent persons, animals or vehicles from falling into the excavation.
Debris On Streets. When any earth, gravel or other excavated or grated material is caused to roll, flow or wash upon any street, the permittee shall cause the same to be removed from the street within four (4) hours after deposit. In the event such material is not removed, the Director of Public Works shall cause such removal and the cost incurred shall be paid by the permittee or deducted from the bond amount set out in this Chapter.
Times Of Work. Work authorized by the permit shall be performed between the hours of 7:00 A.M. and 7:00 P.M.

Hold Harmless Agreement. Every applicant for a permit required by this Article shall agree to hold the City, its officers, employees and agents harmless from any and all costs, damages and liabilities which may accrue or be claimed to have accrued by reason of any work performed under a permit issued hereunder. The acceptance of a permit shall constitute such an agreement by the applicant.
Insurance. No person shall be issued a permit under this Article without first registering with the City proof that there is being maintained and carried liability insurance covering personal injury and property damage which may arise from or out of the performance of the proposed work. Such insurance for personal injury shall be an amount not less than three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000.00) for each person and not less than one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) for each accident and for property damage shall be in an amount not less than one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) and not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) for all accidents.

All drainage provisions shall be of such design as to carry surface water to the nearest practical storm drain or natural water course as approved by the Building Inspector or Public Works Director as a suitable place to deposit and receive such water.
No fill shall be made so as to cause or allow the same to be deposited upon or to roll, flow or wash upon or over the premises of another without the express written consent of the owner of such premises so effected or upon or over any public street, walks, place or way; nor so close to the top of a bank of a channel as to create the possibility of bank failure and sliding.
Limitation on the use of various kinds of materials. Frozen material or soft, mucky, friable, easily compressible materials shall not be incorporated in fills intended to support buildings, structures, sewers or conduits or in the embanked ends of fills.
All excavated areas and fill areas, including areas of piles of dirt, shall be graded smooth to uniform slopes concurrent with excavation and/or filling operations. The portion of the areas no longer being excavated or filled shall be seeded and maintained.
Upon completion of all work under the provisions of the permit, the permittee shall notify the Building Inspector. The Building Inspector shall make a final inspection to determine whether the work has been accomplished in conformity with the requirements of this Article.
Any permit issued under this Article may be revoked by the Building Inspector after notice to the permittee for the following grounds:
The Building Inspector is authorized to revoke any grading permit whenever he/she shall find the work covered by said permit has been extended or altered without permission previously having been granted to do so or whenever he/she shall find that any retaining walls, curbing, drainage structures or other protective devices as shown on the approved plans and specifications submitted with the application for the permit have not been constructed as proposed and approved nor maintained in good order and repair.
Written notice of any of the above designated violations or conditions shall be served upon the holder of the permit or his/her agent engaged in the work. Such notice shall be given either by personal delivery thereof to the person to be notified or by certified or registered mail addressed to such person. When any permit has been revoked and the work authorized by the permit has not been completed, the Building Inspector is hereby authorized to take such steps as may be necessary to restore the excavation or grading to as good condition as existed before the opening or grading was commenced. All such expenses incurred in such restoration shall be recovered from the bond required under the terms of this Article.
