Inspection and Permits PLUS

Tree clearing and grading activity occurring at site. After searching the County's permit information system, it appears that there a permit has not been issued for this activity. No silt fence has been established.

Unpermitted trimming and removal of trees and vegetation within critical areas

I believe this is the site of the new fire station at the intersection of Muddy Creek Road and Owensville Road in the northwest side. Grading has begun, but there is no sediment control.

there is a conservation area owed by the Bay Ridge neighborhood that lies behind Catrina Lane (Annapolis Cove neighborhood) and Farragut Rd (Bay Ridge neighborhood). There is extensive tree removal (chainsaws) and some kind of large equipment being utilized in a posted conservation easement

Owner dumping dirt onto a floodplain/stream channel. This complaint was called into me (Melissa Harlinski, DPW, Watershed Protection & Restoration Program)

Would like to investigate either the documentation for approval or the violation for this extreme clearing of healthy forest off of Bayard Rd in south county. Clearly this piece of land was clear-cut with no attention paid to specimen trees, streams/wetlands and their buffers, etc. Preliminary investigation found no permits, forest conservation plans, deed of easements/agreements, etc. associated with the property.

The yards of 272 and 274 Cape St John Road have, for years, been used as a dump / landfill for fall leaves and other debris. Trucks with tarps dump countless loads of leaves there, in the fall. On Thursday, 2/23/17, for several hours, the mountains of leaves were spread out over a large area using a tractor. In recent years, the yards of these properties have been elevated, from the rotting leaves, which is causing run-off and ponding in adjacent yards. This ponding causes mosquito problems for the neighbors. To observe the land-fill of leaves and clearing that has been done, you must drive down the driveway, from Cape St John Road, next to the cluster of mailboxes. (The homes are behind the mailboxes down a long driveway. (Where the pin is on the map is exactly where the land-fill is.

At minimal, please advise these neighbors that they must stop using their property as a land fill, for businesses to dump their leaf clean-up loads in the fall. This has been going on for at least 12 years... but in recent years has gotten out of control with the constant truck dumping of yard debris and leaves.

I own 986 Marzoff Rd. Lot 4. The property next to mine is marked with pink ribbons with intent to cut trees. This lot was previously considered conservation land according to my platt from 2011. The owner has a STOP WORK order on a violation around the corner. If he doesn't have the correct permits for work on the other lots, I can't imagine he has appropriate permits on Conservation Land. The land marked sits BEHIND lot 1 and lot 2 as depicted on Tax Map 78, GRID 3, adjacent parcel 87, 7th District-AACounty, MD. According to my copy it is clearly conservation land.
