All recipients of approved engineered erosion and sediment control plans are required to schedule and hold a pre-construction meeting with St. Mary’s SCD prior to any land clearing or grading activities.
The appropriate project representative must contact the District at least five day prior to when they wish to hold the pre-construction meeting, and pay the required fees before the scheduled meeting.
On August 3, 2006 the District unanimously approved signing the Memorandum of Understanding with the Department of the Environment (MDE) to function as a contractor for MDE to perform this activity. Effective October 1, 2006, the District started scheduling pre-construction meetings as MDE’s representative.
To schedule a pre-construction meeting, contact Haley Carter.
