Any site disturbing one acre or more needs erosion and sediment controls under Illinois EPA's ILR10 permit and its Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Steep river bluffs make prompt stabilization critical here.
The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan required by ILR10 is where erosion control lives. A builder in Peoria, Chillicothe, Bartonville, or the unincorporated county must install and maintain silt fence, stabilized construction entrances, sediment traps, inlet protection, and prompt seeding or mulching of bare soil. On Peoria's steep Illinois River bluffs, disturbed slopes erode fast during rain, and on flat, tile-drained farmland loosened soil moves quickly through ditches and field tile toward Kickapoo Creek and the river. Controls stay in place until the site reaches final stabilization, and local MS4 inspectors check them during construction.
Clearing an acre without erosion controls, or letting silt fence fail so sediment reaches ditches, creeks, or the river, brings Illinois EPA penalties, stop-work orders, and daily fines until the site is stabilized.
