NOTES: This permit is usually for export when excavating multiple stories for parking and is closely tied to Hillside Ordinance areas. It is used when traversing hillsides or when required by City Planning (DCP). Work in the “flats,” and 90% of construction jobs overall, do not require an Import and Export of Earth Materials Permit.
