There are places one should not build. Our county zoning office has the local maps and checks this before we apply for a building permit. Those local maps start here;

Then our zoning official in their DEQ role asks how much land we are clearing and for the sediment control plan. I have a new restaurant client that is wanting to buy a big yellow machine and save some money. This is from last night's emails, we were talking about food service certification and a big yellow taxi ticket.

If non Ag and baring over 10,000 sf, ~1/4 acre, you need this. This is to the DEQ Responsible Disturber certification $120

Never worked for us (dad in business like 47yrs, he lived off the cash flow but any real money went to CAT for machines and repairs).
