Union County to handle in-house erosion plan reviews under district memorandum
Summary
County accepted a memorandum with the Blue Ridge Mountain Soil and Water Conservation District allowing the county to conduct technical review and approval of erosion and sediment control plans in-house, cutting review turnaround from about 45 days to roughly six days, according to the meeting.
The board accepted a memorandum that authorizes Union County to perform technical review and approval of erosion and sediment control plans previously routed to the Blue Ridge Mountain Soil and Water Conservation District. County building inspectors completed training to take on the additional work and the county will conduct weekly inspections of permitted sites.
The chair said the change is intended to reduce delays in project reviews; the transcript cites the state's average turnaround at 45 days and an expected in-house turnaround of about six days. County staff framed the move as reducing administrative delay and expediting local development reviews.
