Aurora's UDO requires erosion control measures during all construction and land disturbance activities. Landscape material must be installed and maintained to prevent erosion and conditions that may cause erosion. Silt fences, sediment barriers, and stabilized construction entrances are standard requirements. The Fox River corridor and floodplain areas have enhanced erosion control standards. Sites disturbing one acre or more require an NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) permit from the Illinois EPA. Erosion control plans must be submitted with development permits.
Failure to maintain erosion controls: stop-work order. Sediment discharge to waterways: IEPA penalties.
