Fort Lee construction projects must implement soil erosion and sediment control measures meeting Bergen County Soil Conservation District and NJ state standards.
Soil erosion and sediment control in Fort Lee is governed by NJ's Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Act, administered locally through the Bergen County Soil Conservation District. Projects disturbing 5,000 square feet or more must obtain SCD certification before construction begins. Required measures include silt fences, stabilized construction entrances, sediment basins, and prompt vegetative stabilization of disturbed areas. Fort Lee enforces these requirements as part of building permit and site plan approvals, with inspections during active construction.
Erosion control violations can result in stop-work orders, restoration requirements, daily fines, and county SCD enforcement actions.
