The New Hanover County Erosion and Sedimentation Control Ordinance requires that all persons disturbing more than one (1) acre of
land must obtain approval of a soil erosion control plan and be issued a permit prior to the commencement of said land disturbing activity.
Before an application package is considered complete, this application must be completed and submitted along with the fees, plans, the
calculations, dimensions and the narrative to this office. The plans and narrative will be submitted to New Hanover County Soil
Conservation Service and State Stormwater. Plans must be submitted by the applicant to the New Hanover County Planning Department
for Conservation Overlay Review and subdivision tree approval. Commercial tree approval requires submittal to New Hanover County
Zoning. Projects within the City of Wilmington require City tree approval. Commencement of a land disturbing activity under the
jurisdiction of this Act prior to the approval of an erosion and sedimentation control plan is a violation of the Act. The Act further states
that the application package must be filed a minimum of thirty (30) days prior to the activity and the approving authority must approve the
submitted plan within thirty (30) days of receipt. Failure of the approving authority to approve or disapprove the submitted plan within
the thirty (30) day period will be deemed approval of the plan. Additional information may be requested after the 30 day period in order to
meet requirements of the ordinance.
No activity should proceed on site without the issuance of a land disturbing activity unless the approving authority fails to notify the
applicant (usually the engineer) within the 30 day submittal period. If an environmental document is required, the application will be
deemed incomplete until the document is available for review by the County. In this case, the applicant will be notified that the 30 day
time limit for a review of the plan shall not begin until a complete environmental document is available for review. Revisions or
amendments to existing plans must be submitted for review 15 days prior to any site changes. Until such time as the revision is approved
by the County, the land disturbing activity shall not proceed. Any previously permitted site that requires additional work no matter
what size, must submit an amended erosion control plan for approval prior to any changes on site. All land disturbing activity
on a tract since 1988 is cumulative towards the one acre threshold and requires a permit. NO work should begin on site without a
preconstruction erosion control conference.
