City of Jacksonville
Dear Mr. Hagan:
Enclosed for your review and comment is the draft Phase 11 NPDES Stormwater Permit
for the City of Jacksonville.
In a letter dated May 18, 2005, the Director, in response to the great volume of concern
expressed regarding DWQ ability to adequately protect our coastal waters and resources utilizing
low density impervious surface limits, directed DWQ staff to withhold issuance of individual
Phase II permits for communities within the Coastal Counties until such time that a review of the
effectiveness of the proposed post -construction stormwater control measures in the draft Phase II
Permits and the existing State Coastal Stormwater Program could be completed. DWQ has
decided to move forward with drafting Phase lI Permits for the coastal communities.
Specifically for the coastal communities, we are purposing development activities located
with the permittee's jurisdiction that disturb 5,000 square feet or more of land shall control the
runoff from the first one and one half inch of rainfall. In addition, all impervious surfaces, except
for roads, paths, and water dependent structures, shall be located at least 30 feet landward of all
perennial and intermittent surface waters. Redevelopment activities that meet the provisions of
15A NCAC 211 .1002(14) shall not be required to comply with these specific requirements.
Purposed structural stormwater controls include the following criteria:
(1) Remove an 85% average annual amount of Total Suspended Solids.
(2) For wet detention ponds draw down the treatment volume no faster than 48 hours, but
no slower than 120 hours.
(3) Discharge the storage volume at a rate equal or less than the pre -development
. discharge rate for the 1-year, 24-hour storm.
(4) Meet the General Engineering Design Criteria set forth in 15A NCAC 2H .1008(c).
We believe that this draft permit will provide your community with the flexibility vital for
your community, while at the same time safeguarding and protecting our natural environment for
future generations of North Carolinians.

PART I . PERMIT COVERAGE
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the
City of Jacksonville is authorized to discharge stormwater from the municipal separate storm
sewer system to receiving waters, New River, Wilson Bay, Brinson Creek, Blue Creek, Little
Creek, Socoe Creek, Sandy Run Branch, Burnt Run Branch, Chaney Creek, Scales Creek, Mill
Creek, Deep Gully Creek, Northeast Creek, Poplar Creek, Little Northeast Creek, Wolf Swamp,
Half Moon Creek, and associated unnamed tributaries within the White Oak River Basin. Such
discharge will be controlled, limited and monitored in accordance with the permittee's
Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan, herein refe'rreddt"Mas the Stormwater Plan. The
10
Stormwater Plan includes components of the permittee'slPhase',H'Municipal NPDES Stormwater
Permit Application, NPDES Stormwater Permit Application.Compr6hi ngive Stormwater
Management Report and any approved modifications.
2. All discharges authorized herein shall be adequately trianaged`iri'accordance with the terms and
conditions of this permit. Any other point source discharge;to surface waters of the state is
prohibited unless it is an allowable non-stor � ter discharge or is covered by another permit,
authorization, or approval. _ �, i�?�
This permit does not relieve the perrriittee'froin�responsibility for compliance with any other
applicable federal, state, or local law ,rul j,, tandard, ordinance, order, judgment, or decree.
4. This permit covers activities associated with the discharge of stonnwater from the MS4 within
the jurisdictional area of the permittee as described in the approved local Stormwater Plan to
control potential pollution froin�t_lieY S4. The permit applies to current and future jurisdictional
areas of the permittee, as well as areas that seek coverage under this permit through inter -local or
other similar agreements with permiltee. Agreements for coverage under this permit must be
approved by the Division of Water Quality, herein referred to as the Division.
The Division may deny or revoke coverage under this permit for separate entities and require
independent permit coverage as deemed necessary. In addition, the permittee may petition the
Division to revoke or deny coverage under this permit for specific entities.
6. Under the authority of Section 402(p) of the Clean Water Act and implementing regulations 40
CFR Part 122, 123 and 124, North Carolina General Statutes 143-215.1 and Session Law 2004-
163 and in accordance with the approved Stormwater Plan, all provisions contained and
referenced in the Stormwater Plan are enforceable parts of this permit. The pennittee will
develop and implement its approved Stormwater Plan in accordance with Section 402(p)(3)(B) of
the Clean Water Act, provisions outlined by the Director, and the provisions of this permit.
The permit requires the development and proper implementation of the Stormwater Management
Plan. The purpose of the Stormwater Management Plan is to reduce the discharge of pollutants
from the MS4 to the maximum extent practicable, to protect water quality, and to satisfy the
applicable water quality requirements of the Clean Water Act. Implementation of best
management practices consistent with the provisions of the Stormwater Management Plan
constitutes compliance with the standard of reducing pollutants to the maximum extent
practicable. Successive iterations of the Stormwater Management Plan and other components of
this permit will be driven by the objective of assuring that discharges do not cause or contribute
to the violation of water quality standards, through the expansion and tailoring of management
measures within the scope of the Stormwater Management Plan.
