Environmental Requirements for Construction Activities

On November 28, 2012, the Board of Directors for the Flood Control District of Maricopa County (FCDMC) approved the adoption of the Drainage Design Manual for Maricopa County – Erosion Control (Erosion Control Manual) through Resolution FCD 2012R004.  The City of Mesa (City) intends to adopt the Erosion Control Manual and associated City amendments, which will apply to any stormwater best management practice (BMP) installed on all projects conducted by the City and under contract to the Engineering Department or another City department and/or any City property; including, public right-of-way areas (e.g. city owned and operated streets, catch basins, scuppers, etc.).
 
In addition, the City has developed an Environmental Requirements for Construction Activities in the City of Mesa manual to provide technical guidance to developers, property owners, engineers, contractors and others involved with construction activities as a means to comply with the City’s Particulate Sources and Storm Water Pollution Control ordinances.  Links to these documents are provided below. 
 
The City is accepting comments on the proposed adoption and amendments to the Erosion Control Manual and the draft Environmental Requirements for Construction Activities in the City of Mesa manual until noon, Tuesday, January 29, 2013.  Discussions regarding the adoption and amendments to the Erosion Control Manual will be made at the Development Advisory Forum meeting scheduled for Wednesday, January 30, 2013.
