Pasco County requires erosion and sediment control BMPs on all land-disturbing activities per LDC Chapter 900 and state NPDES CGP (FDEP). Silt fence, stabilized construction entrances, and inlet protection required; sites over 1 acre need a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).
Pasco County enforces erosion and sediment control under Land Development Code Chapter 900 in conjunction with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) NPDES Construction Generic Permit (CGP). Any land-disturbing activity requires erosion control BMPs including silt fencing along downslope perimeters, stabilized construction entrances to prevent track-out, inlet protection on storm drains, and temporary seeding of disturbed areas. Projects disturbing one acre or more (or part of a larger common plan) must file a Notice of Intent with FDEP and maintain a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) on-site. Disturbed areas must be stabilized within 14 days of temporary inactivity. The county's sandy soils and heavy summer rains (June-September thunderstorms, hurricane season) make prompt stabilization critical. Discharge of turbid water to waters of the state violates F.S. Ch. 403. Pasco Code Enforcement and FDEP share enforcement authority.
Missing or failed silt fence: stop-work order plus fines $250 to $2,500 per citation. Sediment discharge to waterway or MS4: FDEP fines up to $10,000/day under F.S. §403.121. Failure to file NOI for 1+ acre site: FDEP penalties plus stop-work. Track-out onto public roads: daily fines until swept.
