The four-step action plan

  1. 1. Before you call anyone

    Write down what you saw, when, where, and what concerns you most.

  2. 2. Call your planning office

    Ask: is there a project on file at this address? What permit? Where can I read it?

  3. 3. If it affects air, water, or wildlife

    Request the operating permit, inspection history, and any environmental surveys.

  4. 4. If you're offered an easement

    Ask what it allows, how long it lasts, and consider an attorney before you sign.
