One of the following must be completed before any earth work begins on site:
STEP 1 – Determine which permit is needed for your construction site.
- Work done on a single residential lot that disturbs less than one acre and IS NOT located in a subdivision that comprises more than one acre, requires an in-house Mini SWPPP form and an Acknowledgement Letter – submitted with plans and standard building permit for review and approval by the Public Works Director or City’s Stormwater Representative.
- Work done on a single residential lot that disturbs less than one acre and is located in a subdivision that is an acre or larger, requires an Acknowledgment Letter with reference to a Common Plan Permit for the subdivision – submitted with plans and standard building permit for review and approval by the Public Works Director or City’s Stormwater Representative.
- All other construction that disturbs an acre or more, e.g. common plan development, subdivision or other phased project, requires a Construction General Permit (CGP) and an Acknowledgment Letter – submitted with plans and standard building permit for review and approval by the Public Works Director or City’s Stormwater Representative.
