Attachment_3-Erosion_&_Sedimentation_Control.pdf

The document is an erosion and sedimentation control guidance document issued by the City of Orlando, Florida, aimed at providing construction site managers and developers with comprehensive instructions for managing soil erosion and stormwater runoff. The document outlines best management practices (BMP's) for controlling erosion during construction, including specific techniques such as installing silt fences, protecting stormwater inlets, managing soil stockpiles, stabilizing construction entrances, and implementing perimeter controls. The guidance is designed to help builders comply with local stormwater utility codes and prevent sediment discharge into lakes, stormwater drains, and other water conveyance systems.

The document details multiple erosion control measures, including perimeter controls like trenched-in silt fences, stormwater system protection methods, offsite tracking prevention, soil stockpile management, area stabilization techniques, and dewatering operations. It provides step-by-step visual instructions for implementing these controls, such as how to install silt fences, protect inlet areas, and manage construction sites to minimize environmental impact. The city offers additional support through a Streets and Stormwater Hotline (407-246-2370) for further guidance, and warns that violators may be subject to civil penalties, citations, pollution abatement costs, and potential action by the City of Orlando Code Board.
