Something Looks Wrong at Your Pond. Who Do You Call?

Something looks off at your pond. Who do you call first?

Standing water, a blocked outlet, a bank washing out: call your maintenance contractor. That’s day-to-day work.

A deadline, a violation notice, a question about your permit: call the city or county stormwater office.

Most inspection programs in North Carolina are run by the town or county, not the state, so the local office is usually the right first call on compliance.
