Lincoln Municipal Code §13.30.090 requires applicants for City building or grading permits to prepare an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP) with site-specific Best Management Practices preventing sediment and construction waste from leaving the project site. Construction projects disturbing one acre or more must also comply with the State Construction General Permit.
Under Lincoln Municipal Code §13.30.090, an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP) is required as part of the City permit application for projects that may discharge sediment or construction materials. The ESCP must include an effective combination of erosion controls (e.g., hydroseed, soil binders, mulch) and sediment controls (e.g., fiber rolls, silt fence, inlet protection) plus good housekeeping practices for material storage and waste management. BMPs must be installed and maintained year-round and inspected before, during, and after rain events. The City directs applicants to the California Stormwater Quality Association (CASQA) BMP Handbook for fact sheets. Projects disturbing one acre or more (including the entire common plan of development) must additionally enroll in the State Water Board's Construction General Permit (Order 2022-0057-DWQ), obtain a Waste Discharger Identification (WDID) number prior to construction, and prepare a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) by a Qualified SWPPP Developer.
Failure to install or maintain required ESCP BMPs is a violation of LMC Chapter 13.30 enforced through stop-work orders, mandatory remediation, and administrative citations under LMC §1.12.020 ($100/$200/$500 escalating). Sediment discharges to waters of the United States additionally expose the responsible party to State Water Board enforcement under Water Code §13385 (up to $10,000 per day plus $10 per gallon for discharges over 1,000 gallons). The State Water Board can issue separate enforcement orders against Construction General Permit dischargers.
