A soil loss report is required for grading in excess of 2,000 cubic yards. The soil
loss report shall contain calculations showing the predicted soil loss under natural
conditions, the soil loss potential, the soil loss during the grading and construction
period, and the predicted annual loss following completion of the project based upon
recognized engineering standards. Sheet and soil loss calculations shall be based
upon the universal soil loss equation and factors, specific to the area to be graded,
developed by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service. The report shall be prepared by a
soils or civil engineer.
