The permittee is responsible for establishing a dense stand of permanent-type grass within a reasonable time. Shrubbery that is removed or destroyed shall be replaced with equal types and sizes. Grassing and mulching operations are to begin immediately after construction/installation has been completed. All trees and/or shrubbery damaged or disturbed during construction shall be replaced by the permittee at his expense, as directed by the county engineer.

In order to maintain an acceptable site, debris and waste material shall be removed from the site immediately and daily trenching shall be coordinated to provide a minimum overnight trench opening. Site maintenance, along with ongoing cleanup and final property restoration shall be subject to the direction and approval of the county engineer.
