Livermore requires erosion and sediment control plans for grading permits Oct 1-Apr 30 wet season; BMPs mandatory under MRP 3.0 construction requirements.
LMC Ch. 15.32 and California Building Code Appendix J require erosion and sediment control (ESC) plans for all grading permits. The wet season (October 1 through April 30) triggers mandatory BMP installation — silt fences, fiber rolls, stabilized construction entrances, inlet protection, and temporary vegetation. Projects disturbing 1+ acre also require coverage under the statewide Construction General Permit (CGP) with a SWPPP. Inspections verify BMP installation before and during rain events.
ESC violation: stop-work order, $500-25,000 per day (CGP), plus restoration costs.
