Prior to any construction activity contact the City of Milton Community Development

Department at (678) 242-2544 for a pre-construction meeting.

Your inspector is _______________________________________. Please contact him 24 hours

in advance of the meeting.

At the meeting you will be instructed which erosion and sediment control devices must be

installed prior to the final permit sign-off from the inspector.

No construction activity, other than that designated erosion control installation, may begin

on site until the inspector has approved the installation of these measures and has signed

the grading permit. Failure to schedule the pre-construction meeting and the erosion control

inspection may result in a citation and issuance of a stop work order.

A City of Milton Department of Transportation permit is required for any work with the city

THIS IS NOT A COMPLETE LIST OF PERMIT CONDITION AND PLAN

REQUIREMENTS. PLEASE REVIEW YOUR PLANS AND PERMIT

THOROUGHLY.

1. INSPECTION REQUREST MUST BE MADE BY CALL (678) 242-2544, NO EXCEPTIONS.

Inspection requests must be made at least 24 hours in advance. You will need the permit number,

premise address, type of inspection requested and a phone number where you can be reached.

2. READ AND FOLLOW THE SEQUENCE OF CONSTRUCTION SHOWN ON THE

measures, construction, or other land disturbing activities.

4. The permittee must obtain written approval from the City of Milton inspection, (678) 242-2552,

certifying that the limits of disturbance and tree protection measures are correctly marked and

installed prior to commencing any clearing.

5. After the pre-construction meeting, you may clear only those areas necessary and approved to

install sediment control measures as shown on the approved plan(s). Identify those areas with the

inspector at the pre-construction meeting.

6. Call (678)242-2544 for sediment control installation inspection. You must obtain WRITTEN

approval from the Department before continuing with further grading or site development. A

Stop Work Order will be issued immediately if grading proceeds without written approval from

the inspector.

7. Stabilize sediment control measures with seed and anchored straw mulch within 14 calendar days

of installation.

8. SEDIMENT BASINS AND STORMWATER MANAGEMENT FACILITIES REQUIRE

SPECIFIC, DOCUMENTED INSPECTIONS DURING CONSTRUCTION BY THE

DEPARTMENT’S INSPECTOR AND THE PERMITTEE’S ENGINEER. Confirm these

inspection points and the need for testing and documentation with your inspector. PRIOR to

commencing work.

9. Safety fence must be installed around all sediment control devices that pond water greater than 9

feet in width and 18 inches in depth. Safety fence must be 14 gauge welded wire and openings no
