The owner or permittee, upon completion of all work or use authorized and required in any issued encroachment permit, and upon compliance with all conditions issued therewith, shall in writing notify the department that the work or use is complete and a final inspection is necessary to be performed by the department. No work or use shall be deemed complete in the absence of this written notice.

The department, upon receipt of the written notice from the owner or permittee, shall cause to be performed a final inspection of the work or use authorized in the issued encroachment permit. Upon inspection, the department shall issue a “notice of completion and acceptance” if such work or use is deemed to be complete, satisfactory, and in compliance with all encroachment permit conditions. If such work or use is unsatisfactory or the owner and/or permittee has not complied with the issued encroachment permit conditions, a notice shall be submitted to the owner and/or permittee listing specific areas of noncompliance. Upon issuance by the department of a “notice of completion and acceptance” the permit shall be deemed complete and the encroachment permit shall be in full force and effect. (Formerly 35.17)
