Salt Lake City, UT Environmental Rules: Erosion Control (2026)

The permit holder shall install erosion and water runoff controls sufficient to ensure that no stormwater, surface water, sediments or debris from the construction site shall drain or wash or be tracked into any public right of way or other adjacent properties, including curb and gutter, unless permission has been granted through the erosion control plan. These controls shall be sufficient to cover any contingency, including, but not limited to, seasonal storms, unseasonal storms, or methods of construction. The building official or the city engineer may require, when in his/her discretion he/she deems necessary, an erosion control plan to be submitted for approval. Such plan may be required any time during construction and must be submitted within 5 days of the request. The building official or the city engineer may suspend all work until the plan requested is approved. The permit holder will maintain all erosion control facilities throughout the life of the construction project. He/she will monitor their effectiveness after storms and make the necessary adjustments to ensure they function correctly.
