Frequently Asked Questions

If you have additional questions reach out and a team member will get in touch with you.

A Local Issuing Authority (LIA) is a city or county that has chosen to take on the responsibility of managing and enforcing erosion and sedimentation control within its jurisdiction. This involves overseeing compliance with relevant regulations and addressing related issues.

Inspections typically involve assessing the site for proper implementation and maintenance of erosion and sediment control measures, ensuring compliance with LIA regulations, and identifying any areas needing improvement or corrective action.

Many LIAs may lack the necessary staff, resources, or specific expertise to effectively manage the complex issues surrounding erosion and sedimentation. External support can provide the additional capacity and specialized knowledge needed.

Environmental consultants can offer a range of services, including routine construction site inspections, compliance verification, complaint investigations, and expert advice on complex or unusual erosion and sedimentation cases.

Outsourcing can help LIAs manage their workload more efficiently, ensure a high level of expertise in handling specific issues, and improve overall compliance with erosion and sedimentation regulations.

Unusual or complex cases, such as large-scale developments, sensitive environmental areas, or significant erosion incidents, may benefit from the specialized knowledge of an environmental consultant.
