Lodi requires erosion and sediment control measures on construction sites under its Phase II MS4 Permit and the State Construction General Permit. Sites disturbing one acre or more must implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).
Erosion-control requirements on Lodi construction sites follow the State Water Board Construction General Permit (Order 2022-0057-DWQ) and the City's MS4 Permit obligations under Order 2013-0001-DWQ. Projects disturbing one or more acres must register for coverage under the Construction General Permit through SMARTS and prepare a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). Smaller sites are subject to the City's basic erosion-control standards through plan check at Lodi Building Division: silt fence or fiber rolls around the perimeter, inlet protection on adjacent storm drains, stabilized construction entrance, and dust control. Concrete washout and equipment-wash water cannot be discharged to streets or storm drains.
Erosion-control violations on Lodi construction sites are enforced by Building Inspection and Storm Water staff with stop-work orders, administrative citations, and SWPPP-program enforcement by the State Water Board.
