Eagle Mountain, UT Environmental Rules: Erosion Control (2026)

110(H) requires every applicant undertaking construction activity to prepare a sediment and erosion control plan that accurately describes the potential for soil erosion and sedimentation problems the land disturbing activity could cause and explains and illustrates the measures that will control them. The plan's length and complexity must match the size of the project, the severity of site conditions, and the potential for off-site damage, and it must be sealed by a registered professional engineer licensed in the state of Utah and conform to the city's BMP manual.

The ordinance lists specific required content: a project description with unit and structure counts, a topographic map with five-foot or smaller contour intervals showing existing and proposed conditions, all existing drainage ways including intermittent and wet-weather channels and any floodways or flood plains, a description of existing land cover, and identification of tree stands to be preserved versus removed, with tree protection measures shown to scale. The plan must also show the approximate limits of clearing, grading, and filling; existing and post-construction storm water flows leaving the site, including effects on adjoining property and the capacity of receiving waterways; the projected construction sequence tied to grading and drainage work; and specific remediation measures, including detailed drawings of temporary and permanent stabilization measures with a maintenance schedule.

Item 15 imposes a day-to-day housekeeping duty: soil, sediment, and debris brought onto streets and public ways must be eliminated or kept at a level acceptable to the city engineer, and any such material tracked onto a street must be removed by the end of the work day by machine, broom, or shovel to the city engineer's satisfaction. Failing to remove that sediment, soil, or debris is itself deemed a violation of the storm water chapter.
