Safety Fencing: Safety fencing may be required around all or portions of the grading, mining or filling operation at the discretion of the City Council. Fencing may be ordered by the City Council or City Engineer any time the permit is in force and shall be installed within 24 hours of written notice. Access Roads: The location of the intersection of mining, grading or filling access roads with any public roads shall-be selected such that traffic on the access roads will have sufficient distance of public roads in view so that any turns onto the public road can be completed with a margin of safety as determined by the City Engineer. Ail access roads from grading, mining or filling operations to public highways, roads or streets shall be maintained in order to minimize dust considerations. Fill Materials: An analysis of all fill materials must be provided to and approved by the City Engineer prior to commencing any filling activities. No filling materials shall be permitted which in the opinion of the City Engineer would be undevelopable or create substandard soils. Screening Barrier: To minimize problems of dust and noise and to shield operations from public view, a screening barrier may be required between the site and adjacent properties. A screening barrier may also be required between the site and any public roads located within five hundred feet of any grading, mining or filling operations. The screening barrier shall be planted with a species of fast growing trees, and where practical, stockpiles of overburden materials shall be used to screen the operation site.
