AS GRADED - is the extent of surface conditions on completion of grading.
BEDROCK - is in-place solid rock.
BENCH - is a relatively level step excavated into earth material on which fill is to be placed.
BORROW - is earth material acquired from an off-site location for use on grading on a site.
CIVIL ENGINEER - is a professional engineer licensed to practice in the field of civil engineering.
CIVIL ENGINEERING - is the application of the knowledge of the forces of nature, principles of mechanics and the properties of materials to the evaluation, design and construction of civil works.
COMPACTION - is the densification of a fill by mechanical means.
EARTH MATERIAL - is any rock, natural soil or fill or any combination thereof.
ENGINEERING GEOLOGIST - is a licensed geologist experienced and knowledgeable in engineering geology.
ENGINEERING GEOLOGY - is the application of geologic knowledge and principles in the investigation and evaluation of naturally occurring rock and soil for use in the design of civil works.
EROSION - is the wearing away of the ground surface as a result of the movement of wind, water or ice.
EXCAVATION - is the mechanical removal of earth material.
FILL - is a deposit of earth material placed by artificial means.
GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEER - is an engineer experienced and knowledgeable in the practice of geotechnical engineering.
GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING - is the application of the principles of soil and rock mechanics in the investigation, evaluation and design of civil works involving the use of earth materials and the inspection or testing of the construction thereof.
GRADE - is the vertical location of the ground surface.
GRADE, EXISTING, - is the grade prior to grading.
GRADE, FINISH, - is the final grade of the site that conforms to the approved plan.
GRADE, ROUGH, - is the stage at which the grade approximately conforms to the approved plan.
GRADING - is any excavating or filling or combination thereof.
KEY - is a designed compacted fill placed in a trench excavated in earth material beneath the toe of a proposed fill slope.
PROFESSIONAL INSPECTION - is the inspection required by this code be performed by the civil engineer, geotechnical engineer or engineering geologist. Such inspections include that performed by persons supervised by such engineers or geologists and shall be sufficient to form an opinion relating to conduct of the work.
SITE - is any lot or parcel of land or contiguous combination thereof, under the same ownership, where grading is performed or permitted.
SLOPE - is an inclined ground surface the inclination of which is expressed as a ratio of vertical distance to horizontal distance.
SOIL - is naturally occurring superficial deposits overlying bedrock.
