Leftover permits


I'm working on a postcard to construction site owners and builders to encourage them to keep erosion under control at their sites ... and I'm finding that many (300 or so) have permits that aren't terminated going way back into the 90s. Our county/watershed district partners have gone to these sites and determined that construction is in fact done. The file is 'closed' at the MPCA, but the permit isn't terminated. This means that if there is a stormwater problem on that site, they could still be held liable, even if they're sipping cool drinks in Florida ...
