Soil Deposit/Removal Permits
The City's Soil Deposit and Removal Bylaw No. 3000, 2024, regulates removal and/or deposit of soil (including sand, gravel, rock and other material) on land within the Pitt Meadows. A Soil / Fill Permit may be required prior to removing or depositing any soil or fill from property, including for, but not limited to:
- preload material
- farm road
- diking
- driveway
- leveling land
- and/or other soil/fill-related activities
The City of Pitt Meadows works closely with the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) and other agencies as required on Soil / Fill Permit Applications. Process time varies for each application. Factors that contribute to the processing time include the volume and type of fill, site-specific characteristics, zoning, natural features, environmental considerations and other factors which may trigger additional requirements. A Development Permit may also be required. Soil / Fill Applications with proposed total cumulative fill volumes of 500 cubic meters or greater per calendar year require authorization by City Council.
