Construction
Uncontrolled stormwater runoff from construction sites can have a significant impact on our streams. Sediment from these sites can reduce sunlight penetration for aquatic plants, clog fish gills, smother habitats and spawning areas, and obstruct navigation.
We have implemented measures to ensure compliance with our permit, including:
- An ordinance,
- Requirements for implementing erosion and sediment control best management practices (BMPs),Requirements for controlling waste at
- Procedures for reviewing construction site plans,
- Procedures for receiving and considering public input, and
- Procedures for inspecting and enforcing stormwater requirements at construction sites.
Most construction projects require local permits, and sites disturbing one or more acres of land may require additional permits.
