Land Disturbance and Excavation Permits
If your construction project involves excavation, grading, or clearing of land, you’ll likely need a permit for the activities involved. At AccuPermit, we specialize in helping businesses obtain proper permitting for new construction and land disturbance projects.
When Do I Need a Land Disturbance and Excavation Permit?
Land disturbance and excavation permits are often required for activities that alter the existing soil and vegetation on a site. These permits ensure compliance with the corresponding regulations in that area to prevent erosion or other damage to the land, protect the water quality, and to maintain general site safety. Excavation permits may also be required for activities such as trenching, boring, tunneling, or installing utilities within the public right-of-way.
While each state will vary in its permit requirements, each county or local AHJ has regulations for land disturbance permits or excavation permits for land disturbing activities like clearing, grading, and excavation within a specific threshold. This permit requirement can vary from a floor of 50 SF to 2500 SF, with more stringent reviews based on square feet or cubic volume of land disturbance.
