Latest version.
Fills not intended to support structures, subdivision streets or improvements need not be compacted to these standards if the county building official determines that such compaction is unnecessary as a safety measure. In making this determination, the county building official may require that an investigation be made by an approved soil testing agency to establish the characteristics of the soil, the amount of settlement to be expected and the susceptibility of the soil to erosion or slippage.
