Rock Island County, IL Environmental Rules: Erosion Control (2026)

158 of the county's Stormwater Management chapter requires construction sites to implement best management practices, or BMPs, that prevent sediment from leaving the site: disturbed areas must be minimized, disturbed soil actively managed, and site entrances controlled so vehicles do not track dirt onto public roads; any sediment that does reach a public street must be removed immediately, not left for the next rain. 156 requires waste and recycling containers wherever there is a risk that solid waste, industrial waste, or yard waste could be released, banning any uncontained waste that might blow or wash off site.

157 separately requires that ready-mixed concrete and vehicle or equipment washout from concrete work be contained on site for proper disposal rather than released. 159, the erosion-control duty does not end when construction wraps up: the property owner and any future owner remain responsible for continued compliance during later maintenance, reconstruction, or construction activity on the same site. 111 that gives a compliance deadline and a right to appeal within 15 days.
