What is one exemption from LDA regulations?

Home gardening and landscaping are exempt from LDA regulations because these activities typically do not involve significant land disturbance that could lead to erosion and sediment runoff. The regulations primarily target activities that have the potential to substantially change land use or result in increased erosion, such as construction activities, large scale excavations, or infrastructure installations. Therefore, personal gardening and landscaping, often smaller in scale and less impactful in terms of sediment runoff, do not fall under these stricter regulatory requirements. This exemption allows individuals to cultivate their gardens and manage landscaping without the same oversight required for larger, more disruptive projects.
