Springdale, AR Environmental Rules: Erosion Control (2026)

Under Springdale Code of Ordinances § 112-8(a), a development plan must be submitted for all developments, building construction, and parking lots before a grading permit and/or building permit can be issued, and utility connections are withheld until the plan is approved. Single-family residential construction is exempt. Projects of one acre or more are classified as "large scale developments" reviewed by the planning commission; smaller projects go through staff review by the planning and community development director, and both tracks require a drainage report under the city's Drainage Criteria Manual and chapter 106, Stormwater Drainage, before grading or drainage improvements can begin.
