Construction Erosion Control

A permit is not required if you are disturbing less than one acre. Minimizing land disturbance; however, is vital towards saving dollars associated with landscaping and ongoing maintenance, and protecting watersheds and nearby water bodies.

 By allowing islands of vegetation to remain during construction activities, your small business can save money and protect the watershed and nearby waterways.
