Subject: NPDES Permit Number NCS000455
Dear Mr. Outzs:
Enclosed for your review and comment is the draft Phase II NPDES Stormwater Permit for the
Town of Oak Island.
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 lI 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 11
Permits for the coastal communities.
Specifically for the coastal communities, we are purposing development activities Iocated 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 2H .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 prd-development discharge rate
for the 1-year, 24-hour storm.
(4) Meet the General Engineering Design Criteria set forth in 15A NCAC 2H A 008(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.
