Construction sites disturbing one acre or more must obtain coverage under the State Construction General Permit (CGP) and implement a SWPPP; smaller sites in Yuba City must implement erosion and sediment-control BMPs under the City's Phase II MS4 program.
California's Construction General Permit (Water Quality Order 2022-0057-DWQ, NPDES No. CAS000002) requires any project disturbing one or more acres of soil to file a Notice of Intent through SMARTS, prepare a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), and apply erosion, sediment, and run-on controls. Within Yuba City, the City's Phase II Small MS4 obligations under WQO 2013-0001-DWQ require local enforcement of erosion controls on construction sites — including those under one acre — through grading-permit review and inspections by Public Works/Engineering. Typical required BMPs include silt fence, fiber rolls, stabilized construction entrances, and inlet protection during the October 1 – April 30 wet season.
Discharges of sediment-laden water are violations of the CGP and the Federal Clean Water Act; State Water Board administrative civil liability can reach $10,000 per day plus $10 per gallon (Water Code §13385). Local stop-work orders may be issued via the City Building/Engineering Division.
