<br />50. The applicant shall submit a construction Best Management Practices (BMP's) program <br />for review and approval by the Planning Director prior to issuance of building and/or <br />grading permits. These BMP's shall be implemented by the general contractor and all <br />subcontractors and suppliers of materials and equipment. Construction site cleanup and <br />control of construction debris shall also be addressed. Failure to comply with the <br />approved construction BMP may result in the issuance of correction notices, citations, or <br />a stop work order. <br /> <br />51. Only United States Environmental Protection Agency-approved fireplaces and <br />wood-burning stoves shall be permitted in residential units. <br /> <br />Geotechnical Report <br /> <br />52. The applicant shall comply with the recommendations of the geotechnical reports <br />prepared by Terrasearch, Inc., dated July 15, 1998 and August 6, 1999, and peer review <br />reports by Alan Kropp & Associates, Inc., dated July 22,1999 and September 7,1999. <br />The applicant's geotechnical consultant shall review and approve all foundation, retaining <br />wall, and drainage geotechnical aspects of the final development plans to ensure that the <br />recommendations have been properly incorporated into the development. The consultant <br />shall certify by writing on the plans or as otherwise acceptable to the Director of Building <br />Inspection that the final development plan is in conformance with the geotechnical report <br />approved with the project. Additionally, subdrains of varying depths shall be required to be <br />installed at the base of all cut slopes, subject to the review and approval of the City <br />Engineer. <br /> <br />53. The applicant shall arrange and pay for the geotechnical consultant to be present on site <br />during grading and excavation operations. The results of the inspections and the as-built <br />conditions of the project shall be certified in writing by the geotechnical consultant for <br />conformance to the approved plans and geotechnical report and submitted to the City <br />Engineer and Director of Building Inspection for review and approval prior to occupancy. <br /> <br />54. On expansive soils with moderately high shrink-swell potential (Perkins loam and <br />Pleasanton and Positas gravelly loam), building foundations and improvements shall <br />consist of drilled pier and grade beams, deepened footings (extending below expansive <br />soil), or post-tensioned slabs. Alternatively, expansive soil shall be removed and <br />replaced with compacted non-expansive soil prior to foundation construction. The <br />geotechnical report for each phase of the project shall require that subgrade soils for <br />pavements consist of moisture-conditioned, lime-treated, or non-expansive soil, and that <br />surface (including roof drainage) and subsurface water be directed away from foundation <br />elements to minimize variations in soil moisture. All subdrains shall have cleanout <br />installed at the beginning of the pipe. The bottom of the pipe shall terminate in a storm <br />drain or other storm drain outfall, subject the approval of the City Engineer. The <br />applicant's engineer shall submit a final subdrain location map to the City Engineer prior <br />to acceptance ofthe public improvements. It shall be the responsibility of the <br />homeowner to relocate the subdrains, if during the excavation of a pool or other <br />subsurface structure the subdrains are encountered. All owners within the subdivision <br />
