(a)

Copy to applicant. Upon approval of the application, one copy of the approved plans and the use permit will be returned to the applicant.

(b)

Permit available on-site. The use permit must be available at all times at the work site while work is being performed. Any work in progress on, or use of, county property without a valid use permit available at the site shall be suspended until such time as a valid use permit is produced on the site.

(c)

Permit valid for one year. The permit is valid for a period not to exceed one year. The expiration date will appear on the permit. No work will be performed under an expired permit. Prior to expiration, a request for an extension may be submitted to the land development division. Extension requests shall be submitted a minimum of 30 days prior to the expiration date of the permit. Only one, 90-day extension may be granted.

(d)

Modification of permits. Letter requests for modification of permits will be processed in accordance with provisions of sections 72-696 thru 72-700 hereof. The letter requesting modification must contain the appropriate gas company's name, the gas notification identification number, and to expedite processing, a statement that the other right-of-way users have no objection to the requested modification.

(e)

Inspection and approval of materials and work. The county inspector shall halve the right to inspect and approve materials and/or phases of permitted work at any time. Final inspection and acceptance of the permitted work by the county inspector must be obtained prior to completion of the work. Work will be considered incomplete until that portion of the permit indicating final inspection and approval has been signed and dated by the inspector.

(f)

Notice to county for subterranean road crossing. The permittee shall notify the CDE at least 24 hours prior to beginning work, and prior to commencing any subterranean road crossing, whether by open cutting, boring, jacking, pushing, pulling, driving, or some combination of these. The date, time and location regarding these scheduled subterranean crossings must be given at the time of this notification.

(g)

Underground facilities. Underground facilities (buried cable, water lines, etc.) will not be covered until approved by the county inspector, either through on-site inspection or prior authorization.

(h)

Failure to obtain inspections. Failure of the permittee to obtain the appropriate inspections prior to proceeding with work shall not relieve the permittee from reexcavation or other measures necessary for the inspection of the work.

(i)

Correction of noncompliance. Any and/or all items found not to be in compliance with these regulations will be immediately corrected by the permittee.

(j)

Permit termination. The inspector's signature on the completion line on the permit terminates that permit, and no further work may be done under the permit except repairs as directed by the CDE.
