renewed for an additional six (6) month period by
making a written request to the Guilford County
Planning and Development Department, Inspections

EROSION CONTROL INSPECTIONS
Guilford County Erosion Control Staff will
periodically inspect the sites of land disturbing
activity to determine compliance with the plan. They
will indicate any areas that are weak and help answer
any questions that might arise. One important
inspection is the point at which the devices (i.e., silt
fences, sedimentation pits, eto.) have been installed.
Maintenance inspection is the final inspection. The
permit can be finalized after the site improvements
have been made and after the site has been stabilized.
CIVIL PENALTIES
A violation of the erosion control law could result in a
civil penalty of up to $5000.00 per day.
