An applicant seeking approval of an alternate method of investigation also acknowledges that it remains the Qualified Registered Professional's responsibility to ensure that the final project has sufficient geological investigation so that the proposed facilities can be designed and constructed in a manner that provides long-term safety, structural stability and soundness. 3. Requests for deviations from the investigation methods required by these standards shall be provided in writing and reviewed by the City. The City's decision to grant, deny, or modify the proposed deviation shall be made within 30 days of receipt of the written request and will be Administrative Order - 21 R:\ADMINO RD\RULES\03 geotech2ao. wpd(03/26/03)
