This is a spreadsheet of all projects that have applied for an Erosion Control permit. It is divided into 4 categories, Active-permitted and constructing, Permitted-plan approved but construction not started, Pending-plan submitted but awaiting missing information, and Inactive-approved plan but construction is on hold.  This spreadsheet is updated on a monthly basis and can be viewed by using the link below.
