Erosion and sediment control in Hernando County runs through the Environmental Resource Permit. Under Fla. Stat. §373.413, clearing and construction that alters a stormwater system must control sediment so it does not harm the district's springs and coastal waters.
In a karst springshed, sediment and turbid runoff can foul spring-fed rivers and the Nature Coast salt marshes, so erosion control matters. The Environmental Resource Permit from the Southwest Florida Water Management District, under Fla. Stat. §373.413 and Chapter 62-330, Florida Administrative Code, requires best management practices during construction: silt fence, stabilized entrances, turbidity barriers, and prompt stabilization of bare soil. The state turbidity standard caps what may discharge to receiving waters, and near sinkholes or wetlands controls tighten to keep sediment out of the aquifer. The county enforces its own clearing and erosion provisions for the development it permits.
Clearing or grading that discharges turbid runoff or sediment into Hernando County waters or a sinkhole without required erosion controls violates the ERP and state water-quality rules, bringing District enforcement, stop-work orders, and restoration.
