should be developed by a qualified person(s). Erosion and sediment control measures
in the plan must be implemented prior to any clearing, grading, or construction. These

g) Owners of sites where less than one acre of total land area will be disturbed must also
apply is the construction activity is part of a larger plan of development or sale in

such sites without a permit is illegal and subject to enforcement action by the
Department of Ecology.
h) Application should be made at least 60 days prior to commencement of construction
activities. A permit application and related documents are available at:
