The Land Development Division reviews engineering plans for stormwater compliance on construction
sites prior to issuance of a grading permit. Additionally, plans are reviewed to ensure compliance
to standards as outlined in the Land Development Regulations (LDR) for new subdivisions. We also
provide review and inspection services for developing sites to verify that construction adheres to
the approved plans.
This division implements the water quality components of the NPDES permit, which is the compliance
system for the Clean Water Act.
