Grove City enforces Ohio EPA Construction General Permit (OHC000005) for sites disturbing 1+ acre. Sediment and erosion controls (silt fence, inlet protection, stabilized entrance) required before any grading. Big Darby Creek watershed sites have enhanced review.
Codified Ordinances Chapter 921 and the Big Darby Accord Stormwater Regulations apply. A pre-construction meeting with Grove City Engineering is required before Notice of Intent (NOI) filing with Ohio EPA. Daily self-inspections and after rainfall 0.5 inch or greater must be logged. Disturbed areas must be stabilized with mulch/seed within 7 days of final grading (14 days in non-growing season). Dewatering discharges to Big Darby tributaries require additional treatment.
Missing silt fence during inspection: $250 stop-work. Failed rainfall log: Ohio EPA warning letter, escalating to fines up to $10,000/day. Sediment discharge into Big Darby: potential criminal referral under ORC 6111.
