Naperville requires erosion and sediment control for all land-disturbing activities under Title 5, Chapter 7 (Storm Runoff Control). Construction projects must submit stormwater management plans showing erosion control measures. The city adopts DuPage County's Stormwater and Flood Plain Management Ordinance for flood plain areas.
Naperville's Storm Runoff Control ordinance (Title 5, Chapter 7) establishes requirements for erosion and sediment control on all land-disturbing activities. The City of Naperville is the permitting authority and requires property owners to maintain on-site stormwater control facilities and open space areas per approved plans. Construction permits are only issued to projects that establish a stormwater management plan addressing runoff during the construction process. The city has adopted DuPage County's Flood Plain regulations for portions within DuPage County. Erosion control plans must demonstrate that sediment does not leave the construction site and that downstream waterways are protected. Best management practices (BMPs) including silt fencing, sediment basins, and stabilized construction entrances are typically required. The DuPage County Stormwater Management Ordinance, which Naperville follows, sets specific runoff rate and volume controls for development and redevelopment. Post-construction, property owners must maintain all stormwater facilities in perpetuity.
Failure to implement erosion controls: stop-work order on construction permit. Non-compliance with stormwater plan: corrective action order. Sediment discharge violations may trigger DuPage County enforcement.
