The Soil and Sediment Control Act of 1976 stipulates that any project proposing
more than 5,000 square feet of soil disturbance must have a Soil Erosion and
Sediment Control Plan certified by the local District to ensure that the project
meets State Standards. Agricultural tilling activities and certain single-family
residences are exempt from this regulation. Please call the District at (609)
586-9603 for a determination of applicability to your project.
District staff inspect the site throughout the duration of the project. The
developer must obtain a Report of Compliance from the district before a Municipal
Construction Code Official issues a Certificate of Occupancy for the home
or project.
