A. Permits. The administrator shall issue a grading permit upon approval of a site map and grading plan, interim plan, final plan (where required), soil report (where required), deposit of appropriate security (where required), and payment of fees. The administrator may impose such reasonable conditions or restrictions including, but not limited to, time limits, review of performance and performance standards, as deemed necessary to secure the purpose of this title, and may require guarantees and evidence that such conditions are being, or will be, complied with. Permits shall be issued subject to the following conditions:
1. The permittee shall maintain a copy of the permit, approved plans and any required reports on the work site and available for public inspection during all working hours;
2. The permittee shall, at all times, be in conformity with the approved site map and grading plan, and the interim and final erosion and sediment control plans.
B. Suspension or Revocation of Permit. The administrator shall suspend the permit and issue a stop-work order, and permittee shall cease all work on the work site, except work necessary to remedy the cause of the suspension, upon notification of such suspension when the administrator determines that the permittee has substantially deviated from the terms and conditions of the permit.
C. Violations. Unless otherwise specified by this code, the failure to comply with any provision or any of the mandatory requirements of this chapter shall constitute a misdemeanor, and shall be punishable as such pursuant to Chapter 1.20 of this code. It shall be considered a separate violation for each and every day during any portion of which:
1. Permittee continues working in violation of a stop-work order issued pursuant to subsection (B) of this section;
2. Permittee is not in compliance with the interim or final erosion and sediment control plans at the onset of the wet season; or
3. There is any other deviation of the terms and conditions of the permit.
