 Storm Water Management

Pinal County has a Storm Water Management Plan approved by the Arizona Department of Envioronmental Quality. This plan was approved in 2006 and is available for download at the link below. This plan was put in place to protect water quality as part of the Clean Water Act.

Pinal County Public Works and Flood Control enforce Storm Water Management Plan. We inspect construction sites for compliance with each site's Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) by putting in place Best Management Practices (BMP's).

 

 Erosion Control vs. Sediment
  • Erosion control is the best. Prevents soil from eroding.
  • Rolled products fiber often used.
  • Sometimes not feasible.
  • Sediment control is a temporary control measure. Just keeps sediment from leaving the site.
  • Silt fence is the best example.
  • Often installed incorrectly with poor backfill and/or compaction. A failure on any part of the system, makes the silt fence fail completley.
