Chapter 136 (Excavations) requires permits for grading and excavation activities exceeding 3 feet in depth or 1,000 square feet in area, with engineered plans and erosion controls reviewed by the Building Department.
The chapter's stated purpose is to provide minimum standards to safeguard persons, protect property and promote public welfare by regulating grading, excavation and fill. Permit applications include site plans, cross-sections, drainage calculations, and erosion-and-sedimentation control plans. The Building Department Administrator can require additional surety bonds for substantial excavations. Activities exempt from the permit (sub-3-foot depth, under 1,000 sq ft) still cannot use the exemption to dump fill material on the same property without triggering separate grading-permit review.
Unpermitted excavation is a Chapter 136 violation enforceable under § 1-15 (up to $1,000 / 15 days), plus chargeback for any required remediation.
