Protective barriers or protective designations shall remain in place until completion of site construction and clearing activities;
In the event that any protective barriers are removed or altered and clearing activities are conducted within an area identified for preservation, SLC ERD is authorized to direct that
all land clearing and site alteration work at the site be stopped until the barriers are restored and any necessary corrective actions taken to repair or replant any vegetation removed
or damaged as a result of these encroachments;
Preservation areas shall be maintained in their natural state, so as not to alter the water and oxygen content of the soil and impair its function;
No grade changes or excavation of any sort may be made within the barricaded areas;
