Development / Earthworks

Earthwork regulations and procedures have been enacted specifically to help eliminate, or at least minimize creation of new or aggravation of existing sensitive land areas and formations within unincorporated Hamilton County through control of earth disturbing activities. The regulations have been adopted to prevent hazards, safeguard life, limb, property and public welfare, to preserve the natural environment of the unincorporated Hamilton County as it relates to the stability of hillsides and slopes, and to control erosion and sedimentation by the regulation of earth disturbing activities, excavating and filling of land.
