Winter Park requires erosion and sediment control plans for all construction disturbing over 1 acre per EPA Construction General Permit and SJRWMD standards.
Construction sites disturbing 1 acre or more require an EPA Construction General Permit (CGP) with Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). Sites under 1 acre but part of a larger common plan still require SWPPP. Silt fencing, inlet protection, construction entrance stabilization, and sediment traps are required BMPs. Lakefront construction requires additional turbidity barriers. City inspectors enforce compliance during inspections. FL Administrative Code 62-621 provides state stormwater regulations.
Failure to install BMPs: stop-work order plus $500-$5,000 daily. Sediment discharge to Chain of Lakes: $10,000 plus remediation. EPA enforcement possible.
