Erosion Control & Silt Fence Installation in New Smyrna Beach, FL
New Smyrna Beach sits adjacent to the Indian River Lagoon, a designated Outstanding Florida Water under an active nutrient-reduction Basin Management Action Plan. Construction sites that drain toward the Lagoon face elevated scrutiny on sediment and nutrient control, making properly sized BMPs especially important here.
Development in New Smyrna Beach
New Smyrna Beach's growth includes both beachside redevelopment and mainland residential expansion, much of it within reach of the Indian River Lagoon's watershed. Because the Lagoon's water quality has been a long-running regional concern, projects here often see more attention paid to nutrient control specifically, not just standard sediment capture.
Permitting & Regulatory Considerations in New Smyrna Beach
New Smyrna Beach requires city site plan and building review in addition to Volusia County's MS4 program and FDEP's NPDES Construction Generic Permit. Given the Lagoon's status as an impaired water body under an active Basin Management Action Plan, sites that drain toward it should expect the most rigorous sediment and nutrient control review in Volusia County.

New Smyrna Beach FAQ
Why does the Indian River Lagoon matter for New Smyrna Beach sites?
The Lagoon is a designated Outstanding Florida Water under an active nutrient-reduction Basin Management Action Plan, so sites that drain toward it face elevated scrutiny on sediment and nutrient control.
Does LES size BMPs specifically for Lagoon-draining sites?
Yes — LES sizes and installs BMPs to account for the heightened water quality standards that apply to construction sites draining toward the Indian River Lagoon.
Is nutrient control different from standard sediment control in New Smyrna Beach?
Given the Lagoon's Basin Management Action Plan status, New Smyrna Beach projects often need extra attention to nutrient control specifically, beyond standard sediment capture — LES accounts for this during BMP planning.
Does LES work on both beachside and mainland sites in New Smyrna Beach?
Yes — LES provides erosion control for both beachside redevelopment and mainland residential growth throughout New Smyrna Beach's Indian River Lagoon watershed.
