Example: A subdivision is being developed. You are building homes on 2 acres, another company is clearing 3 acres in the next phase, and a contractor is excavating another 0.5 acres for a pond. In this case, the total area that would be disturbed is 5.5 acres, so each operator would fall under the requirements associated with disturbing 5 or more acres.
During construction, there may be changes to the scope of your project that conflict with information provided in your Notice of Intent. When this occurs, you are required to file an NOI Change, also known as a Notice of Change, to update your NOI. Triggers for this include:
