Erosion control on Collin County construction sites follows TCEQ CGP TXR150000 and city engineering standards. Silt fence, inlet protection, and stabilized entrances required on all disturbances over 1 acre.
Builders in Plano, Frisco, and McKinney must submit an erosion and sediment control plan with each building permit showing silt fence locations, construction entrance stone pads, inlet socks, and temporary seeding schedules. Inspections are conducted weekly and after each 0.5-inch rain event. Unincorporated Collin County sites follow TCEQ CGP directly. The Blackland Prairie clay soils east of US-75 are highly erodible; extra BMPs required for slopes over 3:1.
Missing silt fence: $200-500 per day until installed. Sediment discharge to waters of the state: TCEQ referral, up to $25,000 per day. Repeat offenders face permit holds on future projects.
