Any Lodi construction project that disturbs soil must submit an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP) to keep sediment and pollutants out of the storm drain system, per the city's MS4 permit obligations.
Under California's Phase II MS4 General Permit, the City of Lodi requires the owner of any construction project causing soil disturbance to submit an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP) before grading or building permits are issued. The ESCP must identify Best Management Practices (BMPs) such as silt fencing, fiber rolls, stabilized construction entrances, gravel bags, and inlet protection to prevent sediment runoff. Projects disturbing one acre or more must additionally enroll in the State Construction General Permit (CGP) and file a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) with the State Water Board.
Failure to install or maintain ESCP BMPs is enforced through Lodi's Stormwater Enforcement Response Plan: verbal warning, Notice of Violation, then administrative citation. Discharging sediment off-site can also be cited by the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board under the statewide CGP, with state fines up to $10,000 per day of violation.
