Stafford requires erosion and sediment control measures during construction and land disturbance through its subdivision ordinance and stormwater pollution protection provisions.
Stafford's erosion control standards are integrated into the subdivision ordinance (Chapter 82) and the city's Stormwater Pollution Protection provisions. Construction sites must install and maintain best management practices such as silt fences, inlet protection, stabilized construction entrances, and seeding or stabilization of disturbed areas. The Permit Division issues land disturbance and grading permits, and Code Enforcement inspects sites for compliance. Failure to control sediment leaving a site is treated as a stormwater violation that can carry stop-work orders and fines.
Allowing sediment, mud, or construction debris to leave a site, failing to install required BMPs, or disturbing land without proper erosion control measures.
