Each site shall be evaluated by the person assuming responsibility to determine if it is suitable for its intended use and if such hazards as flood erosion, sediment deposition, or other hazards exist that might impair the use or utility of the site. When, during preparation of the site, such unforeseen factors as rock formation, high groundwater levels, springs, biologically generated gases, etc., are encountered, corrective works shall be taken during the site preparation of the manufactured home.
