A person seeking an exemption for items listed in Article III, § 126-4B, of this chapter shall file a declaration of intent with the Department. The purpose of the declaration of intent is to verify that the proposed activity is exempt under this chapter.
The existence of a declaration of intent does not preclude
another exempted activity on the property subject to a separate declaration
of intent, provided that the activity:
An applicant may apply for approval of a regulated activity
on that area of the property not covered under the declaration of intent if
the requirements of this chapter are satisfied.
Pay a penalty fee for noncompliance, established by fee
schedules approved by the County Council, by per square foot of forest cut
or cleared, but in no case less than $0.30 per square foot of forest cut or
cleared as set by state law;
In its determination of appropriate enforcement action,
the Department may consider whether failure to file a declaration of intent
by a person required to file is a knowing or willful violation of this chapter.
