Construction and grading on slopes over 10% require erosion control plans with BMPs inspected by Sandy before, during, and after earthwork, especially in foothill zones.
Sandy requires erosion and sediment control plans for any site disturbance over 5,000 sq ft or on slopes exceeding 10%, reflecting the citys foothill terrain and proximity to the Wasatch Fault. Required BMPs include silt fencing, fiber rolls, stabilized entrances, inlet protection, and stockpile covers. Sites must be stabilized within 14 days of inactivity. Violations result in stop-work orders and civil penalties.
