Small construction sites, those sites more than 1 acre but less than 5 acres in size, are now required by the State to follow certain procedures to ensure our waterways are protected and productive for years to come. It is important to note that the regulations are not directed at punishing anyone.
Instead, the regulations are in place to protect the people who use our waterways for recreation and as drinking water sources from harmful pollutants and to ensure our water resources are there for many generations.
