APPENDIX E <br />SECTION J104 <br />PERMIT APPLICATION AND SUBMITTALS <br />J104.1 Submittal requirements. In addition to the provisions <br />of Section 105.3, the applicant shall state the estimated quanti- <br />ties of excavation and fill. <br />J104.2 Site plan requirements. In addition to the provisions <br />of Section 106, a grading plan shall show the existing grade and <br />finished grade in contour intervals of sufficient clarity to indi- <br />cate the nature and extent of the work and show in detail that it <br />complies with the requirements of this code. The plans shall <br />show the existing grade on adjoining properties in sufficient <br />detail to identify how grade changes will conform to the <br />requirements of this code. <br />J104.3 Soils report. A soils report prepared by registered <br />design professionals shall be provided which shall identify the <br />nature and distribution of existing soils; conclusions and rec- <br />ommendations for grading procedures; soil design criteria for <br />any structures or embankments required to accomplish the pro- <br />posed grading; and, where necessary, slope stability studies, <br />and recommendations and conclusions regarding site geology. <br />Exception: A soils report is not required where the building <br />official determines that the nature of the work applied for is <br />such that a report is not necessary. <br />J104.4 Liquefaction study. For sites with mapped maximum <br />considered earthquake spectral response accelerations at short <br />periods (S greater than 0.5g as determined by Section 1613, a <br />study of the liquefaction potential of the site shall be provided, <br />and the recommendations incorporated in the plans. <br />1 1 <br /><5 <br />For SI: 1 foot = 304.8 mm. <br />TOP OF FILL <br />• <br />i 5 FT.

Inspections shall be governed by Section 109 <br />of this code. <br />J105.2 Special inspections. The special inspection require- <br />ments of Section 1704.7 shall apply to work performed under a <br />grading permit where required by the building official. <br />SECTION J106 <br />EXCAVATIONS <br />J106.1 Maximum slope. The slope of cut surfaces shall be no <br />steeper than is safe for the intended use, and shall be no steeper <br />than 2 horizontal to 1 vertical (50 percent) unless the applicant <br />furnishes a soils report justifying a steeper slope. <br />Exceptions: <br />1. A cut surface may be at a slope of 1.5 horizontal to 1 <br />vertical (67 percent) provided that all the following <br />are met: <br />1.1. It is not intended to support structures or sur- <br />charges. <br />1.2. It is adequately protected against erosion. <br />FILL SLOPE <br />NATURAL SLOPE <br />REMOVE UNSUITABLE <br />MATERIAL <br />626 2007 MINNESOTA STATE BUILDING CODE <br />
