Pinellas Park requires erosion and sediment control best management practices on construction and redevelopment sites under its Drainage Code (Article 2) and NPDES MS4 program, with city staff identifying required measures during plan review.
City staff identify required erosion and sediment control measures for new construction and redevelopment sites in accordance with Pinellas Park's Stormwater Management Element and Article 2 Drainage Code. Best management practices (BMPs) include silt fencing, stabilized construction entrances, soil stockpile management, inlet protection, and final stabilization with vegetation or other ground cover. Soil stockpiles must be properly located and protected with tarps or other measures to prevent off-site sediment migration. NPDES Construction General Permits issued by FDEP also apply to sites disturbing one or more acres. Failure to install or maintain BMPs is a code violation that can stop work and trigger fines.
Allowing sediment to leave the site, failing to install silt fence, lacking a stabilized entrance, or ignoring stop-work orders can trigger city fines and FDEP enforcement.
