Re: Intent to Modify Post Construction Stormwater Ordinance
City of Charlotte NPDES MS4 Permit NCS000240
Mecklenburg County

Dear Mr. Recktenwald:
The Division is in receipt of your February 20, 2019 letter regarding the city’s intent to modify its current post-
construction stormwater ordinance (PCSO) to comply with N.C. Session Law 2018-145 (Senate Bill 469),
effective 12/27/2018, which revised N.C.G.S. 143-214.7(b3) to apply to all local governments.
In order for the city to address the specific sections and requirements of the PCSO that have been rendered
unlawful by SL 2018-14, DEMLR concurs with the stated conclusions and path forward to (1) modify the
applicable provisions of the city’s PCSO through the necessary procedural processes, and (2) suspend
enforcement of the applicable provisions effective 12/27/2018. Furthermore, these actions to comply with
S.L. 2018-145 shall not constitute a violation of the city’s municipal separate storm sewer system permit
number NCS000240.
Should you have any questions or need further assistance, please contact me at 919-707-3620 or
[e-mail].
Sincerely,
Jeanette Powell
MS4 Program Coordinator
