What is the process for terminating construction permits indicated by the Notice of Termination?

The process for terminating construction permits as indicated by the Notice of Termination involves specific prerequisites that must be met before the notice can be submitted. The correct understanding is that conditions related to the stormwater management practices must be maintained effectively for a period of 30 days prior to the submission of the Notice of Termination. This waiting period ensures that all appropriate measures have been in place and functioning properly for sufficient time, which can help in demonstrating compliance with the conditions required for terminating the permit.

This 30-day maintenance period gives regulators the assurance that any sediment control measures, stabilization practices, or other best management practices have been sufficiently implemented and observed over time, reflecting responsible site management and minimizing potential environmental impacts. By having this timeline in place, it fosters accountability and adherence to regulations, ensuring a gravelled transition from the active construction phase to full site stabilization.
