Oregon, OH Environmental Rules: Erosion Control (2026)

06 sits in Chapter 1177, the improvement standards of the Subdivision Regulations, and its erosion-control duty is triggered on any site development bringing storm water collection systems online. Subsection (c) already requires on-site detention or retention for any project of one acre or more, sized to hold a 25-year post-developed storm while releasing no faster than the pre-developed 5-year rate. Subsection (d) builds on that by requiring the treatment component: storm water collection systems must remove sediment using the best management practices listed in the city's current Storm Water Management Plan, built and maintained under Ohio EPA Permit No.

OHC000002, the state's general construction storm water permit, or its current successor. Every construction detail covering that treatment and maintenance must appear on an Erosion Control Plan submitted with the site grading plans, which the Director of Public Service must review and approve before work proceeds. Once built, post-construction structural BMPs are not a one-time obligation: the developer or property owner must maintain them to the BMP's own maintenance requirements, and the Department of Public Service inventories and inspects them going forward. A property found out of compliance under subsection (d) gets a written notice by first-class mail, sent to the address on the Lucas County tax or water-account records, setting a deadline to correct the violation; if the violator misses that deadline, subsection (f) converts the failure into a misdemeanor of the second degree, punished under Sec.

99 of the General Offenses Code. The whole framework was adopted by Ordinance 014-2006, passed March 13, 2006, and is enforced administratively through the same site-plan review the city requires for zoning approval under Sec. 02.
