The Town of Nashville has been designated by the US EPA for inclusion in the Phase II stormwater
program. The Town of Nashville was designated because their municipal boundaries intersected a US
Census -defined Urbanized Area.
On July 12, 2004 the North Carolina General Assembly ratified Senate Bill 1210 (S1210) - Phase II
Stormwater Management. The Governor signed the bill on August 2, 2004. This bill addresses
implementation of the federal NPDES Phase II stormwater program in North Carolina. In S1210, the
General Assembly provided a framework that will allow state and local government agencies to begin
implementing the program. The bill establishes minimum stormwater management requirements for
municipal storm sewer systems and also applies stormwater controls to some developing areas around
these municipalities.
The Division has received submittals from 123 municipalities and 33 counties. Submittals include
applications for permit coverage, requests for waivers from coverage and certifications that the local
governments do not own/operate a storm sewer system.
Please publish only the information (Public Notice) below, ONE TIME in the legal section of your
