Every land-disturbing project in Lee's Summit must control erosion and sediment. Sites over 2,000 square feet need a land disturbance permit with an approved control plan; single-home lots are exempt but must still stabilize soil.
Erosion and sediment control in Lee's Summit follows Code Section 22.5-3 (Bill No. 04-142) and Sections 1010, 2150, and 5100 of the Design and Construction Manual. Required practices include silt fence, stabilized construction entrances, inlet protection, and prompt stabilization of disturbed ground. The City reviews the erosion and sediment control plan before issuing a land disturbance permit, and Public Works Inspections checks controls during construction. Sites disturbing one acre or more also fall under Missouri DNR's construction stormwater program, requiring a stormwater pollution prevention plan before soil is disturbed.
Missing or failing erosion controls, or letting sediment leave the site, brings a stop-work order and fines until the site is corrected and stabilized.
