ARTICLE 1 : GENERAL PROVISIONS
100 TITLE
This ordinance shall be officially known as "The Phase II Stormwater Ordinance."
It is referred to herein as "this ordinance."
101 AUTHORITY
The Town of Laurel Park is authorized to adopt this ordinance pursuant to North
Carolina law, including but not limited to Article 14, Section 5 of the Constitution
of North Carolina; North Carolina General Statutes 143-214.7 and rules
promulgated by the Environmental Management Commission thereunder;
Session Law 2004-163; Chapter 160A, § 174, 185.
102 FINDINGS
It is hereby determined that:
Development and redevelopment alter the hydrologic response of local
watersheds and increases stormwater runoff rates and volumes, flooding, soil
erosion, stream channel erosion, nonpoint and point source pollution, and
sediment transport and deposition, as well as reducing groundwater recharge;
These changes in stormwater runoff contribute to increased quantities of water-
borne pollutants and alterations in hydrology which are harmful to public health
and safety as well as to the natural environment; and
These effects can be managed and minimized by applying proper design and
well-planned controls to manage stormwater runoff from development sites.
Further, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 ("Clean Water Act") and
federal Phase II Stormwater Rules promulgated under it, as well as rules of the
North Carolina Environmental Management Commission promulgated in
response to federal Phase II requirements, compel certain urbanized areas,
including this jurisdiction, to adopt the minimum stormwater controls such as
those included in this ordinance.
Therefore, the Town of Laurel Park establishes this set of water quality and
quantity regulations to meet the requirements of state and federal law regarding
control of stormwater runoff and discharge.
3

103 PURPOSE
(A) General
The purpose of this ordinance is to protect, maintain, and enhance the
public health, safety, environment, and general welfare by establishing
minimum requirements and procedures to control the adverse effects of
increased post-development stormwater runoff and nonpoint and point
source pollution associated with new development and redevelopment as
well as illicit discharges into municipal stormwater systems. It has been
determined that proper management of construction-related and post-
development stormwater runoff will minimize damage to public and
private property and infrastructure, safeguard the public health, safety,
and general welfare, and protect water and aquatic resources.
(B) Specific
This ordinance seeks to meet its general purpose through the following
specific objectives and means:
1. Establishing decision-making processes for development that
protect the integrity of watersheds and preserve the health of water
resources;
2. Requiring that new development and redevelopment maintain the
pre-development hydrologic response in the post-development
state as nearly as practicable for the applicable design storm in
order to reduce flooding, stream bank erosion, nonpoint and point
source pollution and increases in stream temperature, and to
maintain the integrity of stream channels and aquatic habitats;
3. Establishing minimum post-development stormwater management
standards and design criteria for the regulation and control of
stormwater runoff quantity and quality;
4. Establishing design and review criteria for the construction,
function, and use of structural stormwater BMPs (referred to as
Best Management Practices) that may be used to meet the
minimum post-development stormwater management standards;
5. Encouraging the use of better management and site design
practices, such as the use of vegetated conveyances for
stormwater and the preservation of greenspace and other
conservation areas to the maximum extent practicable;
6. Establishing provisions for the long-term responsibility for and
maintenance of structural and nonstructural stormwater BMPs to
ensure that they continue to function as designed, are maintained
appropriately, and pose no threat to public safety;
4

7. Establishing administrative procedures for the submission, review,
approval, and disapproval of stormwater management plans, for the
inspection of approved projects, and for the assurance of long-term
maintenance.
8. Controlling illicit discharges into the municipal separate stormwater
system.
9. Controlling erosion and sedimentation from construction activities.
104 APPLICABILITY AND JURISDICTION
(A) General
Beginning with and subsequent to its effective date, this ordinance shall
be applicable to all development and redevelopment, including, but not
limited to, site plan applications, subdivision applications, and grading
applications, unless exempt pursuant to Subsection (B) Exemptions,
below.
(B) Exemptions
Development that cumulatively disturbs less than one (1) acre and is not
part of a larger common plan of development or sale is exempt from the
provisions of this ordinance.
Redevelopment that cumulatively disturbs less than one (1) acre and is
not part of a larger common plan of development or sale is exempt from
the provisions of this ordinance.
Development and redevelopment that disturb less than one (1) acre are
not exempt if such activities are part of a larger common plan of
development or sale, even though multiple, separate, or distinct activities
take place at different times on different schedules.
Activities that are exempt from permit requirements of Section 404 of the
federal Clean Water Act, as specified in 40 CFR 302 (primarily, ongoing
farming and forestry activities) are exempt from the provisions of this
ordinance.
5

(C) No Development or Redevelopment Until Compliance and
Permit
No development or redevelopment shall occur except in compliance with
the provisions of this ordinance or unless exempted. No development for
which a permit is required pursuant to this ordinance shall occur except in
compliance with the provisions, conditions, and limitations of the permit.
(D) Jurisdiction
The provisions of this ordinance shall be applicable to all land within the
corporate limits of the Town of Laurel Park, North Carolina, and within the
extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ), as established on the map entitled
"Official Zoning Map, Town of Laurel Park." The map will be kept by the
Stormwater Administrator and shall be updated to take into account

Before a stormwater management permit application is deemed
complete, the Stormwater Administrator or developer may request a
consultation on a concept plan for the post-construction stormwater
management system to be utilized in the proposed development project.
This consultation meeting should take place at the time of the preliminary
plan of subdivision or other early step in the development process. The
purpose of this meeting is to discuss the post-construction stormwater
management measures necessary for the proposed project, as well as to
discuss and assess constraints, opportunities, and potential approaches
to stormwater management designs before formal site design engineering
is commenced. Local watershed plans and other relevant resource
protection plans may be consulted in the discussion of the concept plan.
To accomplish this goal the following information should be included in
the concept plan, which should be submitted in advance of the meeting:
1. Existing Conditions / Proposed Site Plans
Existing conditions and proposed site layout sketch plans, which
illustrate at a minimum: existing and proposed topography;
perennial and intermittent streams; mapping of predominant soils
from soil surveys (when available); boundaries of existing
predominant soils from soil surveys (when available); boundaries of
existing vegetation and proposed limits of clearing and grading; and
location of existing and proposed roads, buildings, parking areas
and other impervious surfaces.
2. Natural Resources Inventory
A written or graphic inventory of the natural resources at the site
and surrounding area as it exists prior to the commencement of the
project. This description should include a discussion of soil
conditions, forest cover, geologic features, topography, wetlands,
and native vegetative areas on the site, as well as the location and
boundaries of other natural feature protection and conservation
areas such as lakes, ponds, floodplains, stream buffers, and other
setbacks (e.g. drinking water well setbacks, septic setbacks, etc.).
Particular attention should be paid to environmentally sensitive
features that provide particular opportunities or constraints for
development.
18

3. Stormwater Management System Concept Plan
A written or graphic concept plan of the proposed post-
development stormwater management system including:
preliminary selection and location of proposed structural stormwater
controls; low impact design elements; location of existing and
proposed conveyance systems such as grass channels, swales,
and storm drains; flow paths; location of flood plain/floodway limits;
relationship of site to upstream and downstream properties and
drainages; and preliminary location of proposed stream channel
modifications, such as bridge or culvert crossings.
(B) Stormwater Management Permit Application
The stormwater management permit application shall detail how post-
development stormwater runoff will be controlled and managed and how
the proposed project will meet the requirements of this ordinance,
including Article 4, Standards. All such plans shall be prepared by a
qualified registered North Carolina professional engineer, surveyor, soil
scientist, or landscape architect, and the engineer, surveyor, soil scientist
or landscape architect shall perform services only in their area of
competence, and shall verify that the design of all stormwater
management facilities and practices meets the submittal requirements for
complete applications, that the designs and plans are sufficient to comply
with applicable standards and policies found in the Design Manual, and
that the designs and plans ensure compliance with this ordinance.
The submittal shall include all of the information required in the submittal
checklist established by the Stormwater Administrator. Incomplete
submittals shall be treated pursuant to Section 301(D).
(C) As-Built Plans and Final Approval
Upon completion of a project, and before a certificate of occupancy shall
be granted, the applicant shall certify that the completed project is in
accordance with the approved stormwater management plans and
designs, and shall submit actual "as-built" plans for all stormwater
management facilities or practices after final construction is completed.
19

The plans shall show the final design specifications for all stormwater
management facilities and practices and the field location, size, depth,
and planted vegetation of all measures, controls, and devices, as
installed. The designer of the stormwater management measures and
plans shall certify, under seal, that the as-built stormwater measures,
controls, and devices are in compliance with the approved stormwater
management plans and designs and with the requirements of this
ordinance. A final inspection and approval by the Stormwater
Administrator shall occur before the release of any performance
securities.
(D) Other Permits
No Stormwater Compliance Certificate shall be issued by the Town of
Laurel Park without final as-built plans and a final inspection and approval
by the Stormwater Administrator, except where multiple units are served
by the stormwater practice or facilities, in which case the Town of Laurel
Park may elect to withhold a percentage of permits or certificates of
occupancy until as-built plans are submitted and final inspection and
approval has occurred.
303 APPROVALS
(A) Effect of Approval
Approval authorizes the applicant to go forward with only the specific
plans and activity authorized in the permit. The approval shall not be
construed to exempt the applicant from obtaining other applicable
approvals from local, state, and federal authorities.
(B) Time Limit / Expiration
An approved plan shall become null and void if the applicant has failed to
make substantial progress on the site within one (1) year after the date of
approval. The Stormwater Administrator may grant a single, one (1) year
extension of this time limit, for good cause shown, upon receiving a
written request from the applicant before the expiration of the approved
plan.
In granting an extension, the Stormwater Administrator may require
compliance with standards adopted since the original application was
submitted unless there has been substantial reliance on the original
permit and the change in standards would infringe the applicant's vested
rights.
20

304 APPEALS
Right of Appeal
Any aggrieved person affected by any decision, order, requirement, or
determination relating to the interpretation or application of this ordinance and
made by the Stormwater Administrator may file an appeal to the Town of Laurel

501 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT
(A) In General
Prior to the conveyance or transfer of any lot or building site to be served
by a structural BMP pursuant to this ordinance, and prior to issuance of
any permit for development or redevelopment requiring a structural BMP
pursuant to this ordinance, the applicant or owner of the site must
execute an operation and maintenance agreement that shall be binding
on all subsequent owners of the site, portions of the site, and lots or
parcels served by the structural BMP. Until the transference of all
property, sites, or lots served by the structural BMP, the original owner or
applicant shall have primary responsibility for carrying out the provisions
of the maintenance agreement.
The operation and maintenance agreement shall require the owner or
owners to maintain, repair, and if necessary, reconstruct the structural
BMP, and shall state the terms, conditions, and schedule of maintenance
for the structural BMP. In addition, it shall grant to the Town of Laurel
Park a right of entry in the event that the Stormwater Administrator has
reason to believe it has become necessary to inspect, monitor, maintain,
repair, or reconstruct the structural BMP; however, in no case shall the
right of entry, of itself, confer an obligation on the Town of Laurel Park to
assume responsibility for the structural BMP.
The operation and maintenance agreement must be approved by the
Stormwater Administrator prior to plan approval, and it shall be
referenced on the final plat and shall be recorded with the county Register
of Deeds upon final plat approval. A copy of the recorded maintenance
agreement shall be given to the Stormwater Administrator within fourteen
(14) days following its recordation.
(B) Special Requirement for Homeowners' and Other Associations
For all structural BMPs required pursuant to this ordinance and that are to
be or are owned and maintained by a homeowners' association, property
owners' association or similar entity, the required operation and
maintenance agreement shall include all of the following provisions:
1. Acknowledgement that the association shall continuously operate
and maintain the stormwater control and management facilities.
27

2. Establishment of an escrow account, which must be spent solely for
sediment removal, structural, biological or vegetative replacement,
major repair, or reconstruction of the structural BMPs. If structural
BMPs are not performing adequately or as intended or are not
properly maintained, the Town of Laurel Park, in its sole discretion,
may remedy the situation and in such instances the Town of Laurel
Park shall be fully reimbursed from the escrow account. Escrowed
funds may be spent by the association for sediment removal,
structural, biological or vegetative replacement, major repair, and
reconstruction of the structural BMPs provided that the Town of
Laurel Park shall first consent to the expenditure.
3. Both developer contribution and annual sinking funds shall fund the

to ensure that the structural BMPs are
1. installed by the permit holder as required by the approved
stormwater management plan, and/or

maintenance agreement.
(B) Amount
1. Installation
The amount of an installation performance security shall be the
total estimated construction cost of the BMPs approved under the

2. Maintenance
The amount of a maintenance performance security shall be the
present value of an annuity of perpetual duration based on a
reasonable estimate of the annual cost of inspection, operation and
maintenance of the BMPs approved under the permit, at a discount
rate that reflects the jurisdiction's cost of borrowing minus a
reasonable estimate of long term inflation.
(C) Uses of Performance Security
1. Forfeiture Provisions
The performance security shall contain forfeiture provisions for
failure, after proper notice, to complete work within the time
specified, or to initiate or maintain any actions which may be

necessary, reconstruct any structural BMP in accordance with the
applicable permit of operation and maintenance agreement, the

the security to make necessary improvements based on an
engineering estimate. Such expenditure of funds shall only be
made after requesting the owner to comply with the permit or
maintenance agreement. In the event of a default triggering the
use of installation performance security, the Town of Laurel Park
shall not return any of the unused deposited cash funds or other
security, which shall be retained for maintenance.

3. Costs in Excess of Performance Security
If the Town of Laurel Park takes action upon such failure by the

Within sixty (60) days of the final approval, the installation
performance security shall be refunded to the applicant or
terminated, with the exception of any amount attributable to the
cost (plus 25%) of landscaping installation and ongoing
maintenance associated with the BMPs covered by the security.

installation with replacement for compliance with the approved
plans and specifications and, if in compliance, the portion of the
financial security attributable to landscaping shall be released.

The applicable operations and maintenance agreement, conservation
easement, or dedication and acceptance into public maintenance,
whichever is applicable, pertaining to every structural BMP shall be
referenced on the final plat and shall be recorded with the county Register

the site, then the operations and maintenance agreement, conservation
easement, or dedication and acceptance into public maintenance,

Deeds so as to appear in the chain of title of all subsequent purchasers
under generally accepted searching principles.

Stormwater Administrator shall determine if the violation is corrected. If
the violation is not corrected, the Stormwater Administrator may act to
impose one or more of the remedies and penalties authorized by this

cease any violation immediately. The Stormwater Administrator may
seek immediate enforcement, without prior written notice, through any

SW100270 "Complete a table below for each river basin within the MS4 service area. The web sites and resource
contacts listed below under Information Sources will help you locate the information you need. Storm
water programs should be designed to address the specific needs of the community and water
resources they are intended to protect. If you haven't done so already, collect information on your city's
receiving waters and what pollutants and sources are impacting those waters.You should also know the
various uses of your receiving waters so you can design a program to protect those uses. Complete a
table below for each river basin within the MS4 service area. The web sites and resource contacts listed

Control Program to comply with this minimum measure for private development? (If no, go to
S W 104220)
No
Root Cause : Best Management Practice is not current
Plan of Action: This is not a deficiency-the Town contracted with Henderson County,via resolution by
both governing bodies, effective October 1, 2007 for Henderson County to enforce its Soil
Erosion and Sedimentation Control Ordinance within the Town's jurisdiction.
SW104210 If the permittee relies on the NCDENR Division of Land Resources(DLR) Erosion and Sediment Control
Program to comply with this minimum measure for private development,than the NCDENR Division of
Land Resources Erosion and Sediment Control Program effectively meets the requirements of the
Construction Site Runoff Controls by permitting and controlling development activities disturbing one or
more acres of land surface and those activities less than one acre that are part of a larger common plan
of development.

1. STORM SEWER SYSTEM INFORMATION.
1.1 Population Served:
2027 (2000 Census)
• Permanent: 2271 as of July 1, 2008
• Basis of Population statistic: 2000 Census has Laurel Park's population as 2027.
The NC Office of State Planning estimates that Laurel Park's population as of July
1, 2008 is 2271.
• Seasonal: Census 2000 listed Laurel Park with a seasonal population of 124. Laurel
Park has several out of state/in state residents with second homes in Laurel Park.
1.2 Growth Rate:
July 1, 1998 =2064
2000 Census =2027
July 1, 2008 =2271
10 year population difference= 207
207/2064= 10 % as ten year growth rate
10.0%/ 10 = 1 %per year
1.3 Jurisdictional and MS4 Service Areas:
Jurisdictional Area Total: 2.88 square miles
MS4 Service Area: 2.61 square miles (removes DOT maintained road area)
1.4 MS4 Conveyance System:
The Town of Laurel Park's storm sewer system is mainly open drainage ways with a
minimal amount of curb and gutter on local, state, and private roads. The Town maintains
most roads within the community and the roadways drain into receiving wooded areas
and/or streams directly.
The State DOT maintains systems along the State Roads, which in Laurel Park includes
a section of US 64W and several arterial roads. (Laurel Park's State Powell Bill Map, July
1, 2009):
There are private drives and small roadways that are both paved and unpaved that
connect to Town and State roads and are maintained by owners. Most use open ditches.
Town maintenance includes leaf pickup, garbage pickup,brush removal, street
sweeping, and storm-drain clearance. Public Works staff routinely cleans out roadway and
driveway culverts and storm drains as needed. Laurel Park's Public Works Department
currently maintains 8 full time employees.
Town, state, and private systems channel water into ditches that flow into un-named
tributaries leading into Shaw Creek, Wash Creek (Rainbow Lake, Temple Terrace Lake),
Tonys Creek,North Fork Willow Creek, or Finley Creek. Several other un-named blue-line
2

streams indicated on the USGS Topographical Survey may hold or carry water into these
creeks during periods of rain, but are usually dry.
1.5 Land Use Composition Estimates:
• Residential 52 %
• Commercial 7 %
• Industrial 0 %
• Open Space 41 %
Tota I = 100 %
Estimate Methodology for Land Use Estimates:
➢ Jurisdictional Area and Land Use Composition were estimated from Henderson County
Planning's ArcView GIS System based on current County Land Records. Road acreage
estimates were included within the residential and commercial categories as appropriate.
Category Acres Percentage
Residential 954 52 %
Commercial 131 7 %
Industrial 0 0 %
Open Space 758 41 %
Total 1843 100 %
1.6 TMDL Identification:
None of the receiving streams within Laurel Park's jurisdiction are TMDL controlled
bodies of water.

11

7. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM.
The Town developed, implemented, and will enforce a Stormwater Management Program(SWMP)
designed to reduce the discharge of pollutants from its small MS4 to the maximum extent
practicable (MEP), to protect water quality, and to satisfy the appropriate water quality
requirements of the Clean Water Act.
7.1 PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUTREACH ON STORM WATER IMPACTS.
Minimum Measure (i): A public education and outreach program on the impacts of
Stormwater discharges on water bodies to inform citizens of how to reduce pollutants in
Stormwater run-off. The public body may satisfy this requirement by developing a local
education and outreach program; by participating in a statewide education and outreach
program coordinated by the department; or a combination of those approaches.
To meet this requirement the Town implemented a public education program to distribute
educational materials to the community and conduct outreach activities to educate the public on
the impacts of Stormwater discharges on water bodies.
Goals:
1. Explore the feasibility of regional approaches to the development and distribution of public
educational materials and/or using any statewide education or outreach programs, and develop
a public materials distribution plan within two years. Have informational materials available in
Town Hall, on the Town's web-site, and through other mechanisms.
2. Work with local entities including Land-of-Sky Regional Council, the Mud Creek Water Shed
Restoration Council, RiverLink, Henderson County Environmental Conservation Organization,
and other local agencies and organizations to develop local training sessions and materials for
the public. This could include topics such as Phase II Requirements, Low-Impact Design,
Watershed Planning and Protection, Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design,
Hazardous Material Disposal, or Habitat and Stream Restoration. Conduct or support and
advertise at least one such training per year.
7.1.1 Discussion.
(1) Target Pollutant Sources our Education Program will address and Why:
• Sedimentation and Erosion—Laurel Park is a mountainous community. When land is
disturbed during any construction process, the erosion rate has the potential to
accelerate rapidly. This coupled with natural erosion because of the mountainous
terrain makes soil and erosion control a Town priority.
• Hazardous Materials—As with any community,the proper disposal of hazardous
materials is important. The Town is the headwaters to numerous streams, and the
protection of these streams is important to Laurel Park and the surrounding areas.
12

• Fecal Bacteria—Laurel Park has a high number of operating septic systems within the
community. Proper maintenance and care of these systems are a priority within the
community.
(2) Target Audiences that will have storm water impacts:
• The general public
• Developers
• Professional landscapers
• Town staff
(3) Outreach Program:
• The Town worked with the Land-of-Sky Regional Council in establishing a work group,
with several other local government entities, to develop outreach strategies and
"BMPs". The regional group developed brochures for the public, newspaper articles,
TV ads, and a web page used to educate the public on storm water impacts. The Town
includes the brochures developed in welcome packets to new residents and the
brochures are available at Town Hall upon request.
• The Town continues to work with the Mud Creek Watershed Restoration Council
striving to improve and protect water quality throughout the Mud Creek. The Town has
one Commissioner on the Council.
(4) Evaluation:
Laurel Park is a fairly small Town, mainly residential in nature, and it is difficult to evaluate
effectiveness of efforts involving outreach. The Town will continue using the mechanisms
developed to education the public (web site information,brochures, and news articles).
7.2 PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT AND PARTICIPATION.
Minimum measure (ii): A public involvement and participation program consistent with all
applicable state and local requirements.
To meet this requirement the Town of Laurel Park will:
Goals
1. Continue to seek input and provide updates on Phase II requirements and implementation to
the Town Council and the Town Planning Board as part of regularly scheduled public
meetings.
2. Use the Planning Board to develop strategies and finalize an implementation plan.
13

3. Explore feasibility of working with other local agencies or adjoining communities to
develop public input and informational workshops or other processes. As an example, the
Mud Creek Restoration Council.
4. Explore feasibility of initiating a local "Adopt-a-Stream" or"Adopt-a-Creek"program in
coordination with RiverLink, Henderson County Environmental Conservation
Organization, Scout Troops, or other local entities.
5. Continue to promote and participate in the annual North Carolina"Big Sweep" Event each
September urging citizens to do their part to restore the beauty and function of our lakes,
streams, rivers, and creeks by volunteering to participate in the North Carolina Big Sweep
event.
7.2.1 Discussion:
• At the April 20, 2004 Town Council meeting, the Laurel Park Town Council conducted
a public hearing to receive comments of the Town's proposed Stormwater Management
Program.
• At the January 15, 2008 Town Council meeting, the Laurel Park Town Council
conducted a public hearing to receive comments and adopted a Stormwater
Management Ordinance.
• At the December 20, 2005 Town Council meeting, the Laurel Park Town Council held a
public hearing to receive comments of the 2015 Comprehensive Plan and adopted the
plan. One of the implementation strategies addressed Stormwater Management.
• The Town continues to work with the Mud Creek Watershed Restoration Council
striving to improve and protect water quality throughout the Mud Creek. The Town
has one Commissioner on the Council.
• The Town annually participates in the North Carolina Big Sweep program which is a
statewide community effort to retrieve trash from local waterways.
• The Friends of Laurel Park sponsors twice a year a litter sweep effort to remove trash
from right-of-ways in an effort to eliminate litter from stormwater outlets.
7.2.2 Evaluation:
Laurel Park is a fairly small Town, mainly residential in nature, and it is difficult to evaluate
the effectiveness of efforts. The Town will continue participating in the programs
developed to ensure public involvement and improve Stormwater Management. Currently,
the Town experiences minimal complaints on Stormwater Management.
14

7.3 ILLICIT DISCHARGE DETECTION AND ELIMINATION.
Minimum Measure (iii): A Program to detect and eliminate illicit discharges within the MS4.
The Program shall include a storm sewer system mapping component that at a minimum
identifies Stormwater outfalls and the names and location of all waters within the jurisdiction
of the public body.
To meet this requirement the Town of Laurel Park will develop, implement, and enforce a
program to detect and eliminate illicit discharges into the MS4.
Goals:
1. Develop a map of the MS4 system and its outfalls relative to available USGS information.
Update and maintain as needed.
2. Adopt a local ordinance with regulatory fines to prohibit illicit discharges into the MS4
system or receiving streams.
3. Develop a plan to detect and eliminate illicit discharges as part of the local regulations
implemented with the permit.
4. Prevent hazardous materials from reaching area streams through timely and effective
emergency management in hazardous spill situations.
5. Regular inspections of existing septic systems and wells by the Henderson County
Environmental Health Department will be conducted.
7.3.1 Discussion:
• Storm Sewer System Map. A map of Laurel Park's Storm Sewer System was
developed by our consulting engineering firm, William G. Lapsley and Associates. The
map shows major outfalls and drainage areas and the names and location of receiving
streams relative to USGS mapping information.
• Regulatory Mechanism and Enforcement: The Town adopted on January 15, 2008 a
Stormwater Management Ordinance using the State model. The ordinance contains
enforcement measures that involve notification and potential fines for violations.
• Detection and Elimination: Priority for possible illicit discharges is the areas near the
receiving streams relative to USGS mapping information. The Town will continue to
work closely with the County's Department of Environmental Health, as needed, to
identify and eliminate any contaminants from on-site sewage disposal systems.
Procedures for tracing sources of illicit discharges are largely complaint driven and then
the complaint is given to the appropriate agency/department for resolution.
• Non Stormwater Discharges: The Town's ordinance states that prohibited substances
include but are not limited to: oil, anti-freeze, chemicals, animal waste,paints, garbage,
and litter. The ordinance also addresses several allowable discharges, such as, water
line flushing, landscape irrigation, rising ground waters,uncontaminated ground water
15

infiltration(as defined at 40 CFR 32.2005(20)), discharges from potable water sources,
foundation drains, air conditioning condensation, springs, lawn watering, individual
residential car washing, street wash water; and other non-stormwater discharges for
which a valid NPDES discharge permit has been approved and issued by the State of
North Carolina, and provided that any such discharges to the municipal separate storm
sewer system shall be authorized by the Town of Laurel Park.
• Outreach: The Town will continue to inform public employees,businesses, and the
general public of hazards associated with illegal discharges and improper disposal of
waste through informational materials, such as, brochures, web sites, and newsletters.
• Staff Training: The Town periodically conducts classes with Public Works personnel
highlighting illicit discharge detection(and good housekeeping measures). If staff in
another department observes a possible illicit discharge, they would report it to Town
Hall.
• Evaluation. Over time, we will be able to evaluate overall effectiveness by looking at
the number of complaints received. To date, our experience so far suggests that there is
not a large problem with illicit discharges, as we have received very few complaints and
have not observed any illicit discharges. We will continue education efforts to make
sure that the public is aware of an avenue for reporting potential violations.
7.4 CONSTRUCTION SITE STORMWATER RUNOFF CONTROL.
Minimum Measure (iv): A program to reduce pollutants in any Stormwater runoff within the MS4
from construction activities resulting in a land disturbance of greater than or equal to one acre.
Reduction of storm water discharges from construction activity disturbing less than one acre is
included as part of the Town's overall program.
The Town is currently and will continue to meet this requirement by working with Henderson
County's Soil &Erosion Control Division as our locally delegated program for meeting this
minimum measure. Their program meets or exceeds the requirements of NCDENR(who we
previously delegated prior to the County's adoption of an ordinance.) The Town refers
developers to the County for erosion control permits and works closely with County staff in
reporting and resolving possible violations. Also, the Town's zoning ordinance contains
procedures to be followed by builders or property owners when disturbing less than one acre.
Goals
1. Maintain an effective Erosion and Sediment Control Program for construction activities in
coordination with the Henderson County Soil and Erosion Control Division for construction
activities resulting in land disturbance of greater than one acre.
2. Maintain an effective Erosion and Sediment Control Program for construction activities in
coordination with the local zoning ordinance for construction activities resulting in land
disturbance of less than one acre (mainly single family residential lots).
16

7.4.1 Discussion:
• Regulatory Mechanism: The Town's subdivision and zoning ordinances both have
procedures in place addressing construction activities resulting in land disturbance
of more than one acre and in land disturbance less than one acre.
• Plan reviews: The Town has procedures for pre-construction review of all site
plans. For review of construction activities resulting in land disturbance of more
than one acre, a permit is required from the Henderson County Soil and Erosion
Office. For review of construction activities resulting in land disturbance of less
than one acre, the zoning administrator issues a land disturbing permit.
• Enforcement: County staff and the Town zoning administrator accomplishes
enforcement. Procedures, such as, stop work orders, fines, bonding (for larger
projects) are used for enforcement.
• Inspections: Inspections occur on a random basis or on occasion by complaint.
• Public Information: The program is included within the overall public education
programs.
• Evaluation: The program is working extremely well. The Town receives or has
initiated approximately two or less complaints a year. The county office has been
extremely responsive for any assistance requested and does random inspection on its
permits issued.
7.5 POST-CONSTRUCTION STORM WATER MANAGEMENT IN NEW
DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT.
Minimum Measure (v): A program to address post-construction Stormwater runoff from new
development and redevelopment projects that cumulatively disturb greater than or equal to one
acre, including projects less than one acre that are part of a larger common plan of development
or sale, that discharge into the MS4 or into an interconnected MS4.
To meet this requirement the Town will develop, implement, and enforce a program within 12
months from date of permit issuance or 12 months from date of granting of permit by rule status.
The program will ensure that controls are in place that would prevent or minimize water quality
impacts and will include strategies and structural and non-structural BMPs that are best suited for
Laurel Park's topography and landscape. To achieve this the Town will:
Goals
1. Consider any model ordinance that the State may provide;
2. Use the Town Planning Board to review/draft recommended changes to current ordinances for
Town Council review/adoption; and
3. Work with other communities, Land-of-Sky Regional Council, or other agencies to study the
feasibility for regional approaches to implementation and enforcement.
17

7.5.1 Discussion:
The Town's program shall require all subject projects to apply for locally issued permit
coverage under one of the following Stormwater management options and parameters as set
forth in guidance document SWU-268-103102:
Low Density Projects. Projects shall be permitted as low density if they meet the following
criteria:
• No more than two dwelling units per acre or 24 percent built-upon area(BUA) for
all residential and non-residential development;
• Stormwater run-off from the development shall be transported from the
development by vegetated conveyances to the maximum extent practicable;
• All BUA shall be at a minimum of 30 feet landward of all perennial and intermittent
surface waters. For the purpose of this Rule, a surface water shall be present if the
feature is approximately shown on either the most recent version of the soil survey
map prepared by the Natural Resources Conservation Service of the United States
Department of Agriculture or the most recent version of the 1:24,000 scale (7.5
minute) quadrangle topographic maps prepared by the United States Geological
Survey(USGS). An exception to this requirement may be allowed when surface
waters are not present in accordance with the provisions of 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(3)(a); and
• The permit shall require recorded deed restrictions and protective covenants to
ensure that development activities maintain the development consistent with the
approved project plans.
High Density Projects. Projects exceeding the low density threshold established above
shall implement Stormwater control measures that:
• Control and treat the difference in Stormwater runoff volume leaving the project
site between the pre and post development conditions for the 1 year 24 hour storm.
Runoff volume drawdown time shall be a minimum of 24 hours,but not more than
120 hours;
• All structural Stormwater treatment systems used to meet the requirements of the
program shall be designed to have an 85% average annual removal for Total
Suspended Solids;
• General Engineering Design Criteria for all projects shall be in accordance with
15A NCAC 2H .1008(c).
• All BUA shall be at a minimum of 30 feet landward of all perennial and
intermittent surface waters. For the purpose of this Rule, a surface water shall be
present if the feature is approximately shown on either the most recent version of
the soil survey map prepared by the Natural Resources Conservation Service of the
United States Department of Agriculture or the most recent version of the 1:24,000
scale (7.5 minute) quadrangle topographic maps prepared by the United States
18

Geological Survey(USGS). An exception to this requirement may be allowed
when surface waters are not present in accordance with the provisions of 15A
NCAC 2B .0233 (3)(a); and
• The permit shall require recorded deed restrictions and protective covenants to
ensure that development activities maintain the development consistent with the
approved project plans.
Operation and Maintenance:
The Town's program shall include an operation and maintenance component that ensures
the adequate long-term operation of the structural BMPs required by the program. The
program shall require owners of permitted BMPs to submit annual maintenance and
inspection reports conducted and certified by a qualified professional.
NOTE: Since implementation no development of this nature has occurred.
Control of Fecal Coliform: The Town works closely with the Henderson County
Environmental Health Department to ensure the proper operation and maintenance of on-
site, private wastewater treatment systems, septic, and private well systems.
Programs Draining into SA Waters: N/A
Programs draining into trout Jr)waters:
A portion of community is a source of the North Fork Willow Creek, classified as C Tr
waters. The Town shall require that, if necessary, selected BMPs that impact this stream
do not result in a sustained increase in the receiving water temperature.
Programs for Draining into Nutrient Sensitive Waters: N/A
Watershed Planning:
Local Water Supply Watershed Program: The Town of Laurel Park adopted on January
30, 1997, and amended, on December 17, 2002, the provisions of the Watershed
Protection Act (NCGS 143-214.5). This ordinance has strict limits on density and built-
upon limits with the watershed and includes stream buffer area requirements (see 3.1 a).
Natural Resource Protection:
Area addressed in above discussions.
Open Space Protection:
The Town Zoning Ordinance requires 20% of gross lot area to be reserved for
landscaping for any commercial development.
The Town enforces the stream buffer requirements contained with the Local Water
Supply Watershed Program.
19

Street Design:
The Town follows the DOT Minimum Construction standards in reviewing any new
roads associated with new development.
Evaluation:
Being a small mainly residential community, the Town has not dealt with any multi-unit
development in the past several years, evaluation approaches dealing with multi-unit
development will be followed in the event of this type activity should occur.
7.6 POLLUTION PREVENTION/GOOD HOUSEKEEPING FOR MUNICIPAL
OPERATIONS.
Minimum Measure (vi): A pollution prevention/good housekeeping program for municipal
operations that addresses operation and maintenance, including a training component, to prevent
or reduce pollutant runoff from those operations.
To meet this requirement the Town will develop and implement an operation and maintenance
program that includes a training component and has the ultimate goal of preventing or reducing
pollutant runoff from municipal operations. To address these concerns, the Town:
Goals
1. Work with the NC Division of Pollution Prevention and Waste Reduction Partners of Land-of-
Sky Regional Council to conduct a Good Housekeeping and Pollution Prevention Assessment
of the Public Works facility and implement recommendations from the assessment.
2. Continue current maintenance policies and practices of good housekeeping and pollution
prevention.
3. Use available training materials from EPA, the State, or other organizations as part of employee
training annually.
7.6.1 Discussion:
• Affected Operations: The principle municipal operations of the Town of Laurel Park
relevant to this permit program are those of automotive/equipment maintenance,
vehicle/equipment storage, and materials storage that all occur in the Public Works
Facility, 500 Toms Drive, Laurel Park, North Carolina.
• Training: The Town will continue to seek training for maintenance and public works
personnel in pollution prevention and good housekeeping measures. Selected personnel
attended a training session prepared by the Land of Sky Regional Council. The Town
will continue periodic on-site training of Public Works Personnel.
20

• Maintenance and Inspections: The Town maintenance staff operates from the
maintenance facility daily practicing good housekeeping and pollution prevention for
the site.
• Vehicular Operations:
The Town of Laurel Park's fleet includes 15 vehicles:
Police vehicles: 1 Ford Escape, 3 Ford Explorers, 4 Chevrolet Impalas.
Public Works: 5 light pick up trucks, 2 heavy duty Dump trucks.
Light vehicle maintenance (oil changes, tire rotation, etc.) for vehicles is
accomplished at the Public Works Facility. Used oil is collected for recycling and
stored in appropriate containers until removal. Automotive repair and significant
maintenance for Town vehicles is done by local private mechanic services.
The Town operates a refueling point for vehicles. The 1000-gallon tank is built of
double wall construction to prevent leakage and inspected as required.
Salt and sand for snow removal are contained in a covered storage area at the Public
Works Facility. Other materials are also stored within the Public Works area
facility. Hazardous materials are stored in a locked chemical cabinet.
• Waste Disposal: The Town does not own or operate a waste transfer station. The
Town contracts weekly for residential collection of garbage and recyclables.
• Other evaluations: The Town has recently worked with Henderson County in
updating the countywide Hazard Mitigation Plan. One objective for the Town is to
develop a flood damage prevention ordinance. Although less than 5% of the
community is in a mapped flood zone, the Town adopted a flood prevention
ordinance effective August 19, 2008 and residents who desire may now get flood
insurance.
As a small Town we have limited municipal operations and vehicle maintenance.
The Town does not own/operate ambulance services, EMT services, transportation
or transit services, a wastewater treatment plant, a landfill, and a recyclables
processing center, an airport, or marina. The Town contracts for fire services with
the Valley Hill Fire and Rescue Department.
• Evaluation: The Town will continue to monitor the BMP goals for effectiveness.
The Town has not experienced any problems associated with good housekeeping for
municipal operations.
