The Top Five Construction Stormwater Permit Violations:

1. Poor Slope Stabilization: Without stabilization, soil is vulnerable to stormwater erosion.

2. No Perimeter Controls: Without a silt fence, water carries sediment into lakes and rivers.

3. Silt Fences Not Maintained: Silt fences only work for so long, and then they need maintenance to work again.
4. Vehicles Tracking: Without a gravel pad, vehicles track dirt onto paved roads.
5. Missing Inlet Protection: Without inlet protection, sediment and litter fill storm drains.
