Sandy enforces Utah DEQ MS4 stormwater permit requirements, prohibiting illicit discharges to Little Cottonwood Creek and requiring SWPPPs for construction over 1 acre.
Sandy operates under a Utah DEQ Phase II MS4 municipal stormwater permit. Construction sites disturbing 1+ acre must obtain Utah CGP coverage and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) with BMPs like silt fence, inlet protection, and stabilized construction entrances. Illicit discharges (paint, concrete washout, oil, soap) into storm drains flowing to Little Cottonwood Creek or the Jordan River are prohibited and heavily fined. Post-construction water quality features are required for larger sites.
