Live Oak requires erosion and sediment controls on construction sites disturbing 1 acre or more, including silt fences, stabilized entrances, and inlet protection per TPDES rules.
Live Oak enforces erosion and sediment control on construction sites through its stormwater ordinance and the TCEQ TPDES Construction General Permit. Projects disturbing 1 acre or more (or less if part of a larger common plan) must file a Notice of Intent with TCEQ and prepare a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) detailing erosion controls such as silt fences, fiber rolls, sediment traps, stabilized construction entrances, and inlet protection on adjacent storm drains. Controls must be installed before land disturbance begins and inspected weekly and after rainfall over one-half inch. Permanent stabilization (vegetation or mulch) must be established within 14 days of reaching final grade. The Live Oak Public Works Department inspects sites; repeat violations can result in stop-work orders and TCEQ referrals.
