When is an Erosion Control plan approval required?
Major land disturbance activities, such as an addition to a structure or the use of heavy equipment to move dirt require an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan. When there are any other environmental permits required for the proposed activity (stream-crossing, joint permit, NPDES permit, water obstruction). When a municipality requests to have an Erosion Control approval (if required for the grading permit or if they just wish to have it reviewed by the District office for Erosion Control). When the Conservation District office, The DEP or the Fish and Boat Commission requests a plan and an approval.
