Dunedin requires erosion protection during land disturbance and construction under Chapter 105. Sites must use silt fencing, stabilized entrances, and other best management practices to prevent sediment from washing into storm drains and waterways.
Section 105-41.14.4.1 requires erosion protection on construction sites, working in concert with the city's stormwater management ordinance. Site operators must install and maintain best management practices (BMPs) such as silt fences, inlet protection, and stabilized construction entrances before clearing or grading begins. Disturbed areas must be promptly stabilized through seeding, mulching, sodding, or temporary cover. Sediment tracked onto public streets must be cleaned daily. Florida's Erosion and Sediment Control Inspector's Manual provides the technical baseline for acceptable practices. Failure to maintain BMPs during heavy rain events is a common cause of citations and mandatory remediation.
Code enforcement may issue stop-work orders, daily fines, and require sediment cleanup at the violator's expense; repeated violations can void permits.
