(b)

Immediately after the moving of any building or structure, the permittee or his authorized agent shall securely barricade all basement excavations and other holes or openings.

Securely close and seal any sanitary piping located on the property.

(2)

Fill with dirt or sand any septic tanks or cesspools located on the property.

(3)

Fill any openings, excavations or basements remaining on the land with dirt or sand to street level or the natural level of adjoining property, unless otherwise directed by the building inspector.
