Erosion Control Practices
| Indicate the following erosion control measures that will be used throughout and after your project? (Check all that apply) |
Seeding and/or Mulching |
| Describe how you intend to implement this plan and your finished vegetation plan.: |
our finished vegetation plan would be to add native plants along the perimeter, which currently do not exist. The lake bottom in this area is primarily sand and by adding a beach blanket we will prevent dirt from eroding into the lake. |
Other Information
| Other: | Looking st both the DNR and county site, I am not positive if this project warrants a permit, but we figured better safe than sorry. We are essentially managing an ice damn area that has not been maintained for many years and as a result has sort of created an erosion problem. in addition, this area is approximately 15-20 feet of open area and a almost 400ft combined lake frontage of primarily natural and wooded lake frontage |
Terms
Defining and staking the property lines, road right-of-ways, septic sites, and wells are the responsibility of the property owner. In some cases, a registered survey may be required to verify setbacks before granting a permit.
If you see sections marked in red on the left hand column, you must re-visit those sections and make corrections.
To ensure that earth moving and vegetation removal is within ordinance guidelines, and to ensure activity on your property does not negatively impact the lake or other properties, you may be required to provide additional drawings of your site plan.
Zoning permits and Subsurface Sewage Treatment System permits are valid for one (1) year (unless the sewage permit is to upgrade an Imminent Threat to Public Health or Safety system, which is then valid for ten (10) months).
If property lines are not clearly marked and visible, then they need to be staked with visible flags, ribbon, or lathes prior to onsite inspection by Aitkin County.
It shall be a violation of the Aitkin County Zoning Ordinance to commence construction before the permit application is approved by Aitkin County.
