Volusia County requires stormwater management for development of 1 acre or more, or any activity creating significant impervious surface. St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) ERP permits required for most projects. MS4 permit governs unincorporated Volusia.
Volusia County Code Chapter 82 (Stormwater) and LDC Article III impose stormwater management requirements on new development. Projects disturbing 1 acre or more need NPDES/FDEP construction stormwater permits. St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) Environmental Resource Permits (ERP) required under F.S. Ch. 373 for most land-alteration projects. Post-development runoff volume and rate must not exceed pre-development conditions. Retention/detention ponds must provide 1 inch of runoff treatment (2.5 inches in Outstanding Florida Waters). Countywide MS4 permit (FLR04E026) governs unincorporated discharges. Daytona Beach, DeLand, Ormond Beach, Deltona, and New Smyrna Beach operate separate MS4 programs. Maintenance of private stormwater facilities is the property owner's responsibility.
Construction without ERP: stop-work order plus fines $500-$10,000 per day under F.S. §373.430. Illicit discharge to MS4: fines $500-$5,000 per occurrence. Failed pond maintenance: correction notice, daily fines until repaired. Criminal penalties possible for willful discharge of pollutants.
