Universal City requires erosion and sediment control on all construction sites that disturb soil, with silt fencing, stabilized entrances, and inlet protection required under the TCEQ construction general permit.
Universal City requires erosion and sediment control measures on construction sites to prevent soil loss and protect downstream drainage into Cibolo Creek. Any project disturbing soil, even for small residential work, must install appropriate best management practices such as silt fence along downslope property boundaries, stabilized construction entrances to reduce tracked mud, and inlet protection on storm drains adjacent to the site. Projects disturbing one acre or more must comply with the TCEQ TXR150000 construction general permit and maintain a written Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) on site. Universal City building inspectors verify BMPs are in place before pouring foundations and during framing inspections. Exposed soil must be stabilized with seeding, sod, or mulch within 14 days of final grading.
