Pasadena requires erosion and sediment control plans for construction activity under its MS4 stormwater permit. Construction sites disturbing 1+ acre must also obtain TCEQ TPDES coverage with a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).
Under Pasadena's TCEQ-issued MS4 permit, erosion and sediment control measures are required for all construction activity within city limits. Construction sites disturbing 1 acre or more must obtain TPDES stormwater coverage from TCEQ, requiring a SWPPP. Best management practices include silt fencing, inlet protection, stabilized construction entrances, and temporary seeding. The city inspects construction sites for compliance. Violations can result in enforcement action from both the city and TCEQ. Post-construction permanent stormwater controls are also required.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Pasadena code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
