Erosion Prevention and Sediment Control (EPSC)

One- and Two- Family Residential Construction

As a residential builder, you must take necessary steps to keep dirt from escaping your lots and getting into streets, ditches, pipes, curb inlets and area drains in the vicinity of your lot.

For more information see the City's Lot-Level EPSC Manual and/or Lot Level EPSC Diagrams or contact Building and Codes.
