Englewood's Chapter 358 controls soil erosion, sedimentation, and soil removal during development through plan certification, permit fees, and a certificate of occupancy condition.
Chapter 358 of the Englewood code, the Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Ordinance, implements the New Jersey Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Act locally. It governs disturbance of soil during construction and grading and requires a certified erosion control plan before work begins. The soil disturbance permit fee is $100 for the first 50 cubic yards and an additional $100 for each additional 50 cubic yards or part thereof. No certificate of occupancy may be issued for any project unless the City Engineer first certifies that the work has complied with the certified plan for permanent control of soil erosion and sedimentation.
Work without a certified plan or permit can trigger stop-work orders, refusal of the certificate of occupancy, summonses, and statutory penalties under the state act.
