A Geology Field Inspection Permit is required to accommodate a field (site) visit by a County Geologist if a site is located within a fault hazard zone or other geologic hazard zone requiring a specialized subsurface investigation. A Geology Field Inspection Permit application does not need to be accompanied by a Geotechnical (Soils) Report; however, consultation between the County Geologist and the applicant’s Project Geologist will be required to coordinate the scheduling of the field visit.
Note: Subsequent approval of a Geotechnical Investigation Report may depend on the field observations and technical discussions attained during the field visit. If unsure whether a Geology Field Inspection Permit is required, please contact the Geology Division for further clarification.
