Your Erosion Control Plans 

If your county requires an engineered erosion control plan provide a copy to me.  On other onstruction sites under one acre where slopes are limited or there are no sensitive protected waterways a more informal plan might be appropriate.  That could be provided as a separate document or marked on the foundation plan for the structure. If you disturb more than one acre then it is required by the Wisconsin DNR to have a special permit under regulation (NR 151 ).
