What if my project doesn’t require a permit? Am I still responsible for installing erosion and sediment controls?
Whether or not an permit is needed, residents are required by city ordinance to contain sediment within the project area and to provide erosion control. Examples of perimeter sediment control devices are silt fences, biologs, mulch berms, and straw waddles. Erosion control devices include blankets, disc-anchored mulch, hydroseed, and turf-reinforcement matting.
