Questions
Grading and erosion control plan: what people ask
Do I need a SWPPP as well as a grading permit?
If the project disturbs one acre or more, or less as part of a larger common plan of development or sale, it needs construction stormwater permit coverage and a SWPPP on top of any local grading permit.
When do I need a dust control permit?
Your air district decides. In Maricopa County, Arizona, Rule 310 requires a dust control permit, with a dust control plan, for disturbing 0.10 acre (4,356 square feet) or more. Sites over one acre also need a trained site representative.
Are grading permit thresholds the same everywhere?
No. Each city or county adopts its own grading code. Los Angeles County, for example, lists what needs no grading permit in Building Code section J103.2, and requires a permit for other grading.
