Guilford County issues permits for unincorporated County, Jamestown, Stokesdale, Summerfield, Whitsett, Sedalia, Pleasant Garden and Oak Ridge. A grading permit is required when any area over one (1) acre (43,560 square feet) is grubbed or graded. Examples of development requiring grading permits include: subdivisions, shopping centers, commercial and industrial development, apartments, townhouses, churches, and recreational development. Exemptions from grading permit requirements include: disturbed areas less than (one) 1 acre in size, agriculture, mining, and area— under State or Federal jurisdiction. A grading permit issued by Guilford County is valid for one (1) calendar year, unless the permit is revoked or the project is completed. The permit can be renewed for an additional six (6) month period by making a written request to the Guilford County Planning and Development Department, Inspections Division. Reissued grading permits do not have to pay another permit fee (unless revoked), but the erosion control surety must remain in effect. APPLICATIONS The following items are needed to apply for a grading permit: (L) Four (4) copies of an Erosion Control/Grading Plan prepared and sealed by a registered professional engineer, architect, landscape architect, or registered surveyor. Three (3) copies should be submitted to Guilford County Planning and Development and one (1) copy should be submitted to the Guilford Soil and Water Conservation District, 3309 Burlington Road, Greensboro, N.C. 27405, telephone number 336-375-5401. (2.) A grading permit application. (3.) Financial responsibility statement. If the person financially responsible is not a resident of North Carolina, a North Carolina agent must be designated in the statement. (4.) Erosion control surety in the amount of $1,500.00 per acre disturbed, to the nearest 1/10 of an acre. (Sureties for Spencer Hills Surety Amount: $1,500 x 8.9 ac = $13,350.00 Base Fee: 8.0-8.9 ac = $1800.00 GRADING PERMITS demolition landfills are $2,000.00 per acre). Sureties include bonds, irrevocable letters of credit, cashier's check, cash, and escrow accounts payable to Guilford County. (5.) Payment of the grading permit fee based on disturbed acreage (see fee schedule). Plan should be submitted thirty (30) days prior to commencement of the land disturbing activity. Plans are reviewed in the order that they are received and plans can be (1) approved, (2) punch -listed, or (3) denied for various reasons. A punch -listed plan may be corrected and resubmitted. Denial of a plan entitles the applicant to a public hearing within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice of disapproval. The Guilford County Planning Board hears appeals within thirty (30) days of the appeal request and makes a recommendation to the Guilford County Board of Commissioners. The Commissioners will render a final decision within thirty (30) days of receipt of the recommendations from the Planning Board. If the appeal is denied, the applicant may further appeal to the North Carolina Sedimentation Control Commission. 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, etc.) 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. No. E2 Grading Permit & Appl. Rev.
