WHEN DO YOU NEED A PERMIT
If you are considering building a new home
or garage, or adding an accessory structure, it
is important that you get the appropriate
permits. A permit insures that your
construction project complies with zoning
and stormwater regulations.
Your first stop is City Hall. City staff will sit
down with you to discuss your construction
project and lay out what you need to get
started. Beginning with our development
review checklist, we will discuss the steps
you need to take and determine whether or
not you need a permit.
The cost of permits range from $0 to more
than $300.00 depending on the complexity of
the project and the level of technical review
required for approval.

GENERAL
HARDEE'S
RETREAT
52ND ANNIVERSARY
The final surrender of Confederate troops
reportedly took place at the site of Brax-
ton Craven School. At that time Gen. Wil-
liam Hardee was camped at Trinity College
with 20,000 soldiers and 7,000 horses
spread over six miles along the road leading
to Archdale.
General Hardee was in charge of the De-
partment of South Carolina, Georgia, and
Florida and had slowed General William T.
Sherman's March to the Sea by delaying
Sherman at Savanna. Hardee later joined
Gen. Joseph Johnston at the Battle of Ben-
tonville and surrendered at Trinity when he
learned that Johnston was negotiating sur-
render at Bennett Place in Durham.

WHAT IS A WATERSHED?
A watershed is an area of land that drains to a specific site. Everything that happens upstream affects water
#� + quality downstream. Keep our waters clean by washing your car on a grassy surface, use biodegradable soaps,
,•'? '= or take your car to the car wash! To learn more about impacts on water quality: www.stormwatersmart.org.
ATTENTION ALL PROPERTY OWNERS CONNECT-
ED TO CITY SEWER DO NOT DUMP COOKING OILS
OR GREASE DOWN YOUR SINK DRAIN OR TOILET!
Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG) Ordinance
Background:
Sanitary sewer overflows are a serious environ-
mental problem and are a violation of the Clean
Water Act. A large percentage of sewer over-
flows and backups are caused by misuse of the
collection system by the public. Fats, Oils and
Grease (FOG) can solidify in the pipe and cause
stoppages. The Federal Government through the State of
North Carolina is requiring utilities to meet minimum opera-
tion standards through a permit process. The Collection Sys-
tem Permit requires a FOG Ordinance to address this problem.
Operating at or above this minimum standard provides some
protection from fines and liability for property damage.
Most open burning illegal in NC
orth Carolina law prohibits most open burning be-
cause the smoke from outdoor fires can cause serious
health problems and pollute the air. It is illegal to burn
trash and other non -
Open Burning Hot Line vegetative materials. Howev-
1-877 OPEN BURN er, homeowners can burn
(1-877-673-6287) yard trimmings - except for
Division of Air Quality: stumps and logs over 6 inches
[phone] in diameter - as long as it
http://www.ncair.org/ doesn't cause a public nui-
sance. Other allowable burn-
ing includes fireplaces, campfires, outdoor barbecues and
bonfires for festive occasions. Landowners may be allowed
to burn vegetation to clear land or clean up storm debris,
but they should check first with the Division of Air Quality
in Winston-Salem.
The Division of Air Quality enforces open burning regula-
tions. Violators can be fined up to $25,000 per violation.
