McKinney requires erosion and sediment control BMPs on all construction sites disturbing 1 acre or more. Silt fences, inlet protection, stabilized construction entrances, and perimeter controls must be installed before earthwork begins and maintained through final stabilization.
Per Chapter 58 and the Engineering Design Manual, contractors must follow the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) iSWM manual BMP standards. Stabilization required within 14 days of inactivity. Disturbed areas over 1 acre must revegetate or stabilize before permit closeout. City inspectors conduct periodic site visits.
Stop-work orders plus 500-2,000 dollars per day per Chapter 1 general penalty. TCEQ may pursue state enforcement.
