Compliance Inspections in Charlotte, NC

Yes. Charlotte's ordinance applies erosion control requirements to land-disturbing activity even when a full plan and permit are not required. Basic erosion controls must still be in place and functioning on smaller sites.

We assess whether installed BMPs are operating properly, check for conditions that deviate from the approved E&SC plan, and document findings in a written record. That record identifies any corrective actions needed to stay in compliance.

NC regulations require self-inspections after initial BMP installation, after plan modifications, and on a weekly and rain-event basis under the NPDES Construction General Permit. Terra Set can conduct or support these required inspection cycles.

Violations found during a regulatory inspection can result in a Notice of Violation, required corrective actions, and civil penalties up to $5,000 per day per violation under the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act. Catching issues early through a Terra Set inspection helps you address them on your own terms.
