Erosion & Sediment Control
REQUIREMENTS FOR EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL
Environmental Management works with the building and development industry to ensure proper practices are in place to protect streams, creeks and surrounding areas from erosion run-off. Staff members regularly inspect construction sites and land development projects to ensure compliance with local, state and federal laws. For your reference, we offer general information about Erosion & Sediment Control.
To help land disturbers, Environmental Management has created a checklist of requirements to be followed when 2500 square feet or more of land is disturbed anywhere in the County for development (legitimate agricultural practices are exempt). All land disturbance plans must be reviewed by the County to ensure requirements are in place prior to land disturbance.
These requirements fulfill the mandates set forth by the Federal Clean Water Act. This checklist will help ensure sites are safe and well maintained, comply with all mandates and laws, and protect natural resources.
