Construction Site Stormwater Runoff (Erosion) Control
For construction site activities encompassing one (1) acre of land or more, including those less than one (1) acre that are part of a larger common plan of development or sale, the following are required:
- Site Plan submittal, review, and approval
- Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) submittal, review, and approval
- A Construction Stormwater General Permit issued by the MPCA
A complete SWPPP is not required for construction site activities encompassing less than one (1) acre of land. However, the site plan review and approval process (City Code Chapter 154.178) may still apply. City improvement projects are not exempt from these standards and must also adhere to these rules and regulations.
The City's construction site stormwater runoff standards can be found in City Code Chapter 154.156 and the City's Engineering Design Standards for Stormwater Management.
