This deposit shall be $1,000/acre and may be returned to the applicant if it can be determined at certification of occupancy that the site and surrounding areas have been restored to their clean and ultimately improved condition. Vo SECURITIES A. Posting of securities. In order to ensure compliance with conditions of the permit, a grading permit shall not be issued unless the permittee shall first post with the City Engineer a bond, or financial instrument of credit approved by the City Attorney, executed by the owner and a corporate surety authorized to do business in the State of California. The bond is required to ensure that the work, if not completed in accordance with approved plans and specifications, will be corrected to eliminate hazardous conditions, to repair any damages that may occur, and restore site to an acceptable condition. This requirement may be waived at the discretion of the City Engineer if (s)he determines that: No hazardous or otherwise adverse situation is likely to occur as a result of incomplete or improper grading, and no conditions of the permit warrant a financial security guarantee to assure their satisfactory completion. But a security will be necessary in most cases for all slide repairs or geologic-hazard repairs. On developments where several projects are being constructed by one owner, a continuing (blanket) security or single letter of credit which will cover all such projects may be accepted and the amount determined by the City Engineer. B. Amount. The amount of a grading bond shall be based on 50% of the labor and material costs for earthwork, based on the project cut or fill volume, whichever is greater, and 100% of the cost of the drainage improvements and erosion control facilities, including earthwork. The City Engineer may decrease or increase, to a maximum of 100% of the cost, the amount of the security if the potential hazards or nature of the project justify such an amount.
