The Lilburn City Council voted Monday to adopt revisions to the State Manual for Erosion Control in Georgia. The city is required to make these updates within one year of adoption. The 6th edition manual was revised in January and went into effect in June.

There are a few new definitions and sections within the manual that address coastal marshlands, updates to best management practices and accommodations for low impact development. The city’s text amendments address the Soil Erosion Sedimentation and Pollution Control Ordinance to match the revised model ordinance. Sections of the ordinance impacted include definitions, minimum requirements using best management practices and the application/permit process.
