Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The committee is working on new rules for earth removal, including clearer standards intended to reduce impacts on residents and limit discretionary decisions. The draft is not yet final: definitions, cash bonds, vegetation protections, setbacks, stormwater controls, and the review structure still need resolution. The committee plans to develop a communications plan and later discuss the proposal with developers, stakeholders, and the public.
