However, the EPA requires an environmental impact study if you disturb more than 1 acre of land when building a new home, does not mater what the state says, and this study can take 6 month to a year to get back before you can build. On our project we working to keep the land disturbance down to 1 acre which is forcing us to put the house near the front of property to avoid a long driveway.
