The Land Disturbing Activity (LDA) code regulates clearing and grading activities and is based on minimum thresholds. The thresholds outlined in code applies to the total area to be cleared for the development project. This includes; clearing for site preparation, proposed yard and landscaping, access for construction equipment, installation of power lines, water lines, well construction, installation of on-site sewage disposal systems, sidewalk construction and driveway construction. Grading quantities for the project or environmental impacts can also trigger the need for a LDA permit.
