General Plan Best Management Practices (BMPs)
The 2004 El Dorado County General Plan requires
agricultural grading activities that convert one acre or more of
undisturbed vegetation to agricultural cropland to obtain an agricultural
permit through the El Dorado County Agricultural Commissioner’s
office which may require approval of the El Dorado Agricultural
Commission. All erosion control measures included in the agricultural
permit must be implemented.
The El Dorado County Agriculture Department,
in conjunction with professional consultants, is currently developing
agricultural grading applications, permits and inspection procedures
which will satisfy the 2004 General Plan requirements pertaining
to agricultural grading. A pilot program is anticipated to begin
in July 2006.
All agricultural practices, including fuel
reduction and fire protection, that do not change the natural contour
of the land and that use the “best management practices”
adopted by the Board of Supervisors which are listed on this webpage
shall be exempt from obtaining the agricultural grading permit.
