Pembroke Pines requires erosion and sediment control measures for construction and development projects under the Land Development Code. Broward County Environmental Engineering and Licensing (EEL) regulations supplement city rules. Developers must implement best management practices (BMPs) to prevent sediment discharge. NPDES permits may be required for sites disturbing one acre or more.
The Pembroke Pines Land Development Code Chapter 155 addresses erosion control as part of development standards. Construction sites must implement erosion and sediment control best management practices (BMPs) including silt fences, stabilized construction entrances, and sediment basins. Broward County's Environmental Engineering and Licensing Division provides supplemental requirements. Projects disturbing one acre or more require an NPDES Construction General Permit from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. All surveys and plans must use NAVD 88 datum for elevation references. The Building Department reviews erosion control plans as part of permit applications.
Failure to implement erosion control is a code violation. NPDES violations carry federal fines under the Clean Water Act.
