Erosion Control Plans for Los Angeles
LA City wants to see how you are keeping dirt on your property during construction.
When you need an erosion control plan
Erosion control plans come up most often with LA City projects, particularly in hillside areas like Pacific Palisades. After the fires, the city has been paying close attention to hillside construction because without vegetation holding the soil together, rain can send dirt flowing onto streets and neighboring properties.
The city wants to see temporary control measures in place before, during, and after construction. If you are building on a slope, you need to show how you are keeping soil contained.
The city takes this seriously because eroded soil ends up in storm drains, which leads to the ocean. Pacific Palisades especially, with its proximity to the coast and fire-affected hillsides, gets extra scrutiny.
What goes into an erosion control plan
- Silt fence and straw wattle placement at property lines
- Temporary seeding and mulching on exposed areas
- Dust control measures
- Construction entrance stabilization
- Runoff diversion away from sloped areas
- Schedule for installation and removal
