Peoria requires erosion and sediment control during construction. Projects disturbing 1+ acres need an AZPDES Construction General Permit from ADEQ. Maricopa County requires dust control permits for earth-moving on sites over 0.1 acre. SWPPPs are required for larger projects. Peoria's desert environment makes dust control critical.
Erosion control in Peoria is enforced through building code requirements. All construction must implement sediment control measures. Projects disturbing 1+ acres require AZPDES permits from ADEQ and SWPPPs. Maricopa County Air Quality requires dust control permits for sites over 0.1 acre. Peoria's rapid growth in the northwest Valley means construction sites are common, making erosion and dust control significant enforcement priorities. BMPs include silt fences, stabilized entrances, and inlet protection.
Failure to implement controls may result in stop-work orders, ADEQ fines, and county air quality penalties.
