Pennsylvania requires erosion and sediment control best management practices on any site with earth disturbance. A written E&S Plan must be on site for disturbances of 5,000 square feet or more, and projects disturbing one acre or more require NPDES permit coverage through the local conservation district.

Yes, if your project disturbs 5,000 square feet or more of ground, a written E&S Plan is required under Pennsylvania Chapter 102 regulations. Projects near watercourses may require a plan regardless of size, and the Lebanon County Conservation District reviews plans for larger disturbances.

Residential erosion control typically covers smaller disturbed areas like a graded yard or a new home site, while commercial projects often involve larger drainage areas, higher runoff volumes, and more detailed stormwater management requirements. Commercial sites in the Harrisburg or Lancaster area may also face stricter NPDES permit conditions based on total acreage disturbed.

The Lebanon County Conservation District inspects erosion and sediment control measures on permitted construction sites in the Jonestown area. The site operator is responsible for maintaining all installed BMPs and keeping the approved E&S Plan on site and available for review at all times.
