Construction sites disturbing 1 or more acres require erosion control measures including silt fences, inlet protection, and stabilized construction entrances under the stormwater ordinance.
Under West Jordan's land disturbance provisions, any construction activity disturbing one or more acres of soil requires a UPDES Construction General Permit, an approved SWPPP, and implementation of best management practices. Common required BMPs include silt fencing along downgradient boundaries, storm drain inlet protection, stabilized rock construction entrances to prevent track-out, and prompt revegetation. Inspections by city stormwater staff are conducted during active construction.
