Ohio's LEADING Excavation Contractor!

Many Ohio projects need permits based on acreage disturbed, location, and scope. We help you identify requirements early so your job stays compliant and on schedule.

• Disturbing ≥1 acre typically triggers the Ohio EPA Construction Storm Water General Permit and a SWPPP.
• Local building/zoning and right-of-way permits may apply—check your city or county engineering department.
• Ohio erosion & sediment control standards follow the Rainwater & Land Development Manual (state BMP guide).
• Public utility notification is required before digging; see Ohio 811 and ORC 3781.28.

We coordinate utility marks and use cautious digging methods to avoid service damage. Private utilities are also addressed so the whole site is safely covered.

• Tickets submitted to Ohio 811 (OUPS) with required waiting periods before excavation.
• Compliance with Ohio’s damage-prevention law (ORC 3781.28) and hand-exposure near tolerance zones.
• Private lines (e.g., meters to buildings) may need a private utility locator.
• Use of as-builts and on-site coordination to reduce conflicts.

Controls are selected from Ohio’s BMP standards and maintained throughout construction. Our team installs, inspects, and documents BMPs to meet permit and project specs.

• BMPs follow the Rainwater & Land Development manual (silt fence, inlet protection, stabilized entrances, seeding/mulch).
• Sites under the Construction Storm Water GP must implement and maintain SWPPP controls (Ohio EPA).
• Transportation work aligns with ODOT stormwater guidance and contract specs.
• Routine inspections, repairs, and records are kept per permit schedules and storm events.

We follow the project geotechnical report and specifications to select materials and achieve required densities. Testing and documentation verify that subgrades and fills meet performance targets.

• Earthwork/embankment per applicable ODOT Construction & Material Specs (e.g., CMS 203).
• On-site soils evaluated; approved structural fill imported as needed.
• Compaction criteria and test frequency per plans/specs and the geotechnical report.
• Planning support via NRCS Web Soil Survey for preliminary soil characteristics.

We pause work in the area, notify stakeholders, and follow state procedures to manage materials safely. Compliance protects people, the environment, and project timelines.

• Assessment/handling per Ohio EPA guidance; owner notified immediately.
• Underground storage tanks addressed under the State Fire Marshal’s BUSTR program.
• Construction & demolition debris managed under Ohio EPA C&DD rules; special wastes go to approved facilities.
• Spill reporting/cleanup follow Ohio EPA Emergency Response requirements.
