erosion control and devices, including the desilting basins, shall be installed
not later than November 1.
The building official, in the performance of his duties, may add:

course of the work.
2. Requirements for safe and adequate drainage of the site.
3. A requirement that approval of the building official be secured
before any work which has been commenced may be discontinued.
