               Before any tank for underground or aboveground storage of Class I and Class II liquids
               shall be installed or removed, a permit must be issued and shall be granted only upon
               written application made to the county building inspections department (the "inspections
               department") setting forth the location, character, size and capacity of the tank,
               and the purpose for which it is to be used. The inspections department and the fire
               marshal shall have the right to inspect the tanks and appliances before and after
               installation, and require that the location, installation and operation are in accordance
               with the state fire code, the ordinances of the county and any other applicable law.
               After the underground storage tank is placed in the excavated ground, and fittings
               and connections have been attached thereto, the applicant for the permit shall notify
               the inspections department and the fire marshal and shall wait until the installation
               of the tank and fittings have been approved by the fire marshal before covering the
               tank.
