A visual inspection of all irrigated areas shall occur, more often, but <br />not less than one (1) time per week. All areas receiving marginal <br />coverage shall be irrigated by a portable irrigation method.

Care shall be exercised <br />to prevent a waste of water, erosion, and/or detrimental seepage into <br />existing underground improvements or structures. <br />c.
