  • In rural Dane County, single-family homesites with driveways longer than 125 feet require an erosion control permit. Carrico Engineering provides erosion control design plans, cross-sections, profile drawings, culvert sizing, and soil loss calculations. Adam ensures your permitting information is submitted accurately and on time.

  • In Dane County, shoreland zoning and erosion control permits are required for sites within the shoreland zone before obtaining zoning and building permits. Carrico Engineering coordinates with Dane County to secure these permits, saving you time and ensuring compliance from the project’s start. Whether a new or teardown-and-rebuild lake home that requires mitigation permitting or a build near a waterway that falls within the shoreland zone, Adam's solutions are geared to achieve approvals in a timely manner.

  • In Dane County, single-family homesites and developments that add 20,000 square feet of new impervious surfaces are required to obtain stormwater permitting. Carrico Engineering specializes in stormwater management design solutions for rural south-central Wisconsin. Adam handles compliance and permitting for new homes, developments, lake or waterway builds, and teardown and rebuild of homes on area lakes. I design stormwater management features to meet state and county requirements, including permits for projects exceeding impervious surface limits or adding significant new surfaces.
