Fort Bend County requires erosion and sediment control measures on construction sites to protect drainage infrastructure and downstream waterways.
Under the county's drainage criteria and TPDES MS4 obligations, construction projects disturbing land must install and maintain erosion controls such as silt fences, stabilized construction entrances, inlet protection, and stockpile coverings. Sites disturbing one acre or more must comply with the TPDES Construction General Permit (TXR150000) including SWPPP preparation. The Drainage District inspects subdivision and commercial sites for sediment migration into county ditches and detention ponds.
Sediment discharge into county drainage, missing BMPs, or inadequate stabilization can trigger stop-work, corrective orders, and TCEQ enforcement referrals.
