Erosion and sediment control is required for all land-disturbing activity in Bristol County. NPDES Construction General Permit applies to 1+ acre sites. Conservation Commission review triggers at wetland buffers.
Land-disturbing activities in Bristol County require erosion and sediment control under local construction stormwater bylaws, MA Stormwater Standards, and federal EPA NPDES Construction General Permit (for sites disturbing 1+ acre). Standard BMPs include silt fencing, straw wattles, compost tubes, erosion control blankets, stabilized construction entrances, and sediment basins. Disturbed areas must be temporarily stabilized within 14 days (per NPDES CGP). Permanent stabilization through vegetation or hardscape required at project completion. Work within 100 feet of wetlands or 200 feet of perennial streams triggers Conservation Commission review under MGL c. 131 §40 (Wetlands Protection Act). Coastal projects face additional MA CZM review. Enhanced requirements apply in impaired watersheds.
Missing erosion controls: stop-work order and fines $250 to $2,500. Sediment discharge to waterways: MassDEP fines $1,000 to $25,000 per day under MGL c. 21 §42. WPA violations: ConCom enforcement orders.
