Typical erosion control measures include construction and re-vegetation staging, storm drain inlet protection, silt fence, stone tracking pads, erosion mats and mulching, storm runoff diversion, sediment basins and traps, and pavement sweeping. |

| Is an Erosion Control Permit, fee, or bond required for projects in the public right-of-way and public utility easements? |
| If the project is a City-let contract with bid provisions for erosion control, no permit, fee, or performance deposit is required. If the project is not part of a City-let contract, an Erosion Control Permit, fee, and performance deposit is required. Following approval of the Erosion Control Plan by the Department of Public Works, these items are to be submitted to an assigned plan examiner at the City of Milwaukee Development Center, 809 North Broadway. |
|
|
| Can an Erosion Control Plan approved by the City be a substitute for a Storm Water Pollution Prevention and Erosion Control Plan if required by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) and vice versa? |
| No, having an Erosion Control Plan approved by the City does not relieve a landowner from submitting a Notice of Intent (NOI) and related Storm Water Pollution Prevention and Erosion Control Plan to the WDNR. Conversely, having a Storm Water Pollution Prevention and Erosion Control Plan approved by the WDNR does not relieve one from submitting an Erosion Control Plan to the City. However, there are normally some common components of the two plans that can used to satisfy both WDNR and City requirements. WDNR requirements for storm water management are contained in Chapters NR151 and NR 216 of the Wisconsin Administrative Code. |
