Revocation of Land Disturbing Permit <br />Whenever a person conducting a land- disturbing activity is not complying with the <br />provisions of this Ordinance, the Land Disturbing Permit, the Approved Erosion <br />Control Plan or any amendments to the Plan, the Erosion Control Officer may revoke <br />the Land Disturbing Permit for the site. Notice of Revocation shall be sent by <br />registered or certified mail to the person conducting the land- disturbing activity. In the <br />event delivery cannot be accomplished by registered or certified mail, it may be <br />accomplished in any manner provided in Rule 4 0) of the North Carolina Rules of <br />Civil Procedure.
