Grading & Drainage Permits
Permits and Inspections are done by the Public Works Department. Many building projects require Grading & Drainage Permits before you may begin construction. When in doubt please contact the Public Works Department to verify.
Documents
If a permit is issued or if work is approved based upon inaccurate or in-complete information submitted by the applicant, the grading permit may be cancelled at any time, a stop work order may be issued, and/or remedial action may be ordered.
Keep Your Dirt!
Muddy water leaving your construction site is a red flag that is sure to get the attention of inspectors. Avoid work delays and fines. Keep your dirt onsite by implementing effective best management practices (BMPs).
- Install erosion and sediment controls properly at the beginning of construction
- Clear the smallest area possible in which to complete your work and keep as much of the existing vegetation as possible
- Stabilize disturbed soil areas immediately after final grading
- Divert storm water away from your disturbed areas
- Slow down storm water runoff before it leaves your site
- Install gravel entrance to minimize tracking of dirt onto roadways
- Maintain BMPs throughout your project.
