Hamilton County Water Quality Program

Land Disturbance Permit

The Hamilton County Water Quality Program is a multi-jurisdictional stormwater program formed, per its home page, by Hamilton County with Collegedale, East Ridge, Lakesite, Lookout Mountain, Red Bank, Ridgeside, Soddy-Daisy and Walden under TDEC NPDES permit TNS075566. As published on the program's current Land Disturbance Permit Application, linked from its Construction Site Controls page, 'Permit fee is $95.00 plus $5.00 per disturbed acre or portion thereof', and land disturbance permits expire one year after issuance unless an extension is requested in writing. The application needs the civil site plan, the stormwater calculation sheet, the SWPPP with the TDEC Notice of Intent (or Notice of Coverage), and a Level I erosion and sediment control inspector; the Construction Site Controls page says a pre-construction meeting follows SWPPP approval and the permit issues once all outstanding items, including any retention or detention facility fees, are received. Contact the program at 1250 Market Street, Suite 3044, 423-209-7851.
