New Castle Conservation District
"Dedicated to Soil
and Water Management"
Sediment and Stormwater
Program
Since 1991, NCCD has been a delegated agency responsible for the implementation of DRNEC's Sediment and Stormwater program for select municipalities (see list below) and for agriculture structures in New Castle County. We review, inspect, and perform maintenance inspections of construction projects, disturbing more than 5,000 square feet, to ensure that the property's stormwater is maintained on site. Projects vary from small commercial construction to large subdivisions.
​
As of Summer 2024, NCCD does offer an expedited review process for qualifying submittals. For those interested in this expedited review, please review the "Policy and Procedures for Expedited Review of Sediment and Stormwater Plans" and reach out with any questions.
Program fees are used to support the program implementation, including overall program management, plan review, construction review, and maintenance responsibilities.
