As of January 1, 2025, Talbot SCD will be reviewing and approving stormwater management plans for all agricultural structures in Talbot County. Depending on the type and size of the project will determine the type of plan required for submission.

An agricultural structure that is less than 5,000 sq. ft. will be exempt from stormwater management regulations. If the structure is greater than 5,000 sq. ft. and less than 1 acre, a Standard Plan can be used for the project. Erosion and Sediment Control may also be required, please consult with SCD staff.

Staff from the Talbot SCD is tasked with performing annual maintenance compliance checks on all approved agricultural structures.
