This land -disturbing permit will expire within 1 year following the date of approval, if no land - disturbing activity has been undertaken, as required by New Hanover County's Erosion and Sedimentation Control Ordinance Article Vlli Section 8.18 (d). If no activity takes place within one year after work has begun onsite, the permit will expire. Please contact this office to reactivate a permit that has expired. Acceptance and approval of this erosion control plan is conditioned upon your compliance with Federal and State water quality laws, regulations and rules and local city or county ordinances or rules. This land -disturbing permit approval does not supersede any other permits or approvals. You must ensure you have tree approval PRIOR to any land disturbing activity onsite. It is the owner's responsibility to have all the permits and approvals that are required, prior to beginning construction.
