Broward County erosion and sediment control requires silt fencing, inlet protection, and stabilized construction entrances on sites disturbing 1 acre or more under the NPDES Construction General Permit.
Erosion and sediment control on Broward County construction sites is regulated under the Florida Department of Environmental Protection NPDES Construction General Permit for disturbances of one acre or more, smaller sites when part of a common plan of development totaling one acre. Best management practices include perimeter silt fencing, stabilized construction entrances to prevent trackout, storm inlet protection, soil stockpile covers, and seeding or mulching of disturbed areas. A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) must be prepared by a qualified designer, kept on-site, updated with inspections every 7 days and after rain events of 0.5 inch or more. Broward County Environmental Engineering reviews site plans for compliance with both state and local criteria, and municipal building departments enforce BMPs through inspection. Coastal and waterfront projects carry additional FDEP Coastal Construction Control Line requirements to protect beach and dune systems, and mangrove-adjacent work requires Environmental Resource Permits from FDEP or SFWMD.
