Jupiter requires erosion and sediment control plans for all land disturbance over 5,000 square feet. Silt fencing, inlet protection, and stabilized construction entrances mandatory. Beach and dune areas have additional CCCL and sea turtle protections.
Engineering Standards Manual Chapter 4 specifies BMPs per FDEP State of Florida Erosion and Sediment Control Designer and Reviewer Manual. Silt fences must be installed before clearing begins. Disturbed areas inactive over 14 days require temporary stabilization (seed, mulch, or hydroseeding). Dewatering discharges require separate permit. Oceanfront work requires dune walkovers, turtle-friendly lighting during nesting season (March 1-October 31), and often coastal engineer oversight.
Missing BMPs: stop work plus $500. Sediment leaving site: $1,000 plus cleanup costs. Beach violations: FDEP enforcement plus FWC.
