CMC Title 15 (Grading and Drainage) and Title 21 require erosion control. Graded areas must be planted within 60 days. BMPs required. Coastal location adds sensitivity.
CMC Title 15 regulates grading with erosion control requirements. All disturbed areas must be planted within 60 days of initial disturbance and prior to October 1. Temporary erosion control (berms, interceptor ditches, sandbagging, filtered inlets, debris basins, silt traps) required alongside plantings. Coastal proximity makes erosion control particularly important.
