Frisco requires erosion and sediment control BMPs on all construction sites disturbing 10,000 sq ft or more. Silt fence, inlet protection, and stabilized construction entrance required before grading starts. Inspections occur weekly and after 0.5-inch rain events.
Frisco Engineering Design Manual Chapter 4 adopts North Central Texas COG iSWM criteria. Contractors install perimeter silt fence, protect drain inlets with filter fabric, and stabilize construction exits with rock pads. Disturbed areas must be seeded or mulched within 14 days of final grade. SWPPP required on 1+ acre sites under TPDES. Inspector can halt work for uncontrolled sediment discharge.
Stop-work order within 24-48 hours for unaddressed erosion. Fines 500-2,000 per day. TCEQ may assess additional penalties for off-site sediment plumes.
