Preliminary Inspections

About Preliminary Inspections

Prior to permit issuance it may be deemed necessary, based on known site characteristics and erosion control plans submitted, to conduct an on-site inspection on any property for which a permit or waiver is applied for.  

Upon inspection the program staff will verify the overall anticipated effectiveness of the proposed erosion control plan and may require modifications before issuing the permit.

Program staff will notify the applicant if modifications to the application and / or erosion control plan are required prior to permit issuance. If it is deemed not necessary to conduct this inspection prior to permit issuance an inspection will be conducted two weeks after permit issuance to ensure Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control measures are installed per the approved erosion control plan.
