The Engineering Department administers the following permits:
Grading and Excavation (GE) permits are required any time earth disturbance is proposed in excess of 500 square feet, in accordance with the rules and standards established in Chapter 6 of the Code. Exempted projects must still meet the water quality and grading standards established in the Code and the Grading and Excavation Manual.
