City df Crc'bdmoor, NC : Obtaining Stormwatcr Permits
http://www.cityofereedMOOT.org/index.aspx?page=412
Obtaining Stormwater Permits
Overview
In July 2012, the State delegated permit review for Stormwater Plans for new development within the
Falls Lake watershed to units of local government. Rather than applying to the North Carolina
Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) for both the required stormwater plan
and the soil erosion and sedimentation permit for residential construction involving one-half acre of land
disturbance or 12,000 square feet of land disturbance for non-residential purposes, the permit review
responsibilities have been divided. Soil erosion and sedimentation control permits are still reviewed and
issued by NCDENR_ Stormwater control plans are now
reviewed locally with permits issued through the City's
Planning Department.
The City submitted a Local Stormwater Plan for New
Development to the NC Environmental Management
Commission in early spring 2012. The plan was
approved and went into effect on July 12, 2012. The
plan contains a brief explanation of the Falls Lake
Nutrient Management Strategy ("the Falls Rules") and
outlines the City's strategy for compliance with the Falls Rules. Developers and engineers are encouraged
to download and review the plan as it contains answers to most commonly asked questions regarding how
the lake nutrient management strategy is applied locally.
Concept Plan and Consultation Meeting
An application pre -submission meeting with the Stormwater Administrator and other members of the
Stormwater Services team is strongly advised. The stormwater permit application process is explained
fully in the Creedmoor Development Ordinance, Article 19, Section 19.16.
In order for a stormwater permit to be reviewed and issued by the City of Creedmoor, several documents
must be submitted. The documentation required to apply for a stormwater permit consists of:
• City Stormwater Permit Application;
• Falls/Jordan Stormwater Accounting Tool (an interactive Excel spreadsheet that calculates nutrient
reduction);
• Three (S) sets of plans;
• A copy of the operations and maintenance manual for the engineered BMP's proposed;
• Application fee (as listed in the City's Fee and Rate Schedule)
Once the stormwater permit is approved, two additional documents are required to be submitted by the
Stormwater BMP designer/engineer to complete the process:
• Stormwater Operations and Maintenance Agreement

GIS mapping information was used to determine the area and ratio of land uses. Simple
land area calculations were completed using the following logic:
Residential Areas: Areas with homes (detached and multi -family) with lot size less
than 5 acres
Commercial Areas: Areas currently (January 2011) zoned for Commercial Use
Industrial Areas: Areas currently (January 2011) zoned for Industrial Use
Open Space: [Residential, Commercial and Industrial] Use subtracted from
[Total land area in Creedmoor Jurisdiction (ETJ + Primary
Corporate Limits + SateIlite Incorporated Areas)]

implement, and enforce a program to reduce pollutants in any storm water runoff into our MS4
from construction activities that result 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 will
be included in our program if that construction activity is part of a larger common plan of
development or sale that would disturb one acre or more. if the NPDES permitting authority
waives requirements for storm water discharges associated with small construction activity in
accordance with Sec. 122.26(b)(15)(i), we are not required to develop, implement, and/or
enforce a program to reduce pollutant discharges from such sites. The program will include the
development and implementation of, at a minimum:
a) An ordinance or other regulatory mechanism to require erosion and sediment controls, as
well as sanctions to ensure compliance, to the extent allowable under State, Tribal, or
local law;
b) Requirements for construction site operators to implement appropriate erosion and
sediment control best management practices;
c) Requirements for construction site operators to control waste such as discarded building
materials, concrete truck washout, chemicals, litter, and sanitary waste at the construction
site that may cause adverse impacts to water quality;
d) Procedures for site plan review which incorporate consideration of potential water quality
impacts;
e) Procedures for receipt and consideration of information submitted by the public, and
f) Procedures for site inspection and enforcement of control measures.
[i2]

Pursuant to 40 CFR 122.35, an operator of a regulated small MS4 may share the
responsibility to implement the minimum control measures with other entities provided:
a) The other entity, in fact, implements the control measure;
b) The particular control measure, or component thereof, is at least as stringent as the
corresponding NPDES permit requirement; and
c) The other entity agrees to implement the control measure on behalf of the MS4.
Pursuant to State Requirements in Session Law 2006-246 Section 7 "to obtain a Phase I1
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for storm -water management,
[the city] shall, to the extent authorized by law, develop, implement, and enforce a stormwater
management plan approved by the Commission that satisfies the six minimum control measures
required by 40 Code of Federal Regulations § 122.34(b) (1 July 2003 Edition)." Regulated
entities may propose using any existing State or local program that relates to the minimum
measures to meet, either in whole or in part, the requirements of the minimum measures.
The NCDENR Division of Land Resources Erosion and Sediment Control Program
whether implemented by the state or a state delegated 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. This program is authorized
under the Sediment pollution Control Act of 1973 and Chapter 4 of Title 15A of the North
Carolina Administrative Code. This program includes procedures for public input, sanctions to
ensure compliance, requirements for construction site operators to implement appropriate erosion
and sediment control practices, review of site plans which incorporates consideration of potential
water quality impacts, and procedures for site inspection and enforcement of control measures.
The NCC0.10000 permit establishes requirements for construction site operators to control waste
such as discarded building materials, concrete truck washout, chemicals, litter, and sanitary
waste at the construction site that may cause adverse impacts to water quality.
7.5 Post -Construction Storm -Water Management - New Development &
Redevelopment
Pursuant to Federal Regulations 40 CFR Section 122.34 (b) the City must develop,
implement, and enforce a program to address storm water runoff from new development and
redevelopment projects that 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 our
MS4. The program will ensure that controls are in place that would prevent or minimize water
quality impacts. The City will at a minimum:
a) Develop and implement strategies which include a combination of structural and/or non-
structural best management practices (BMPs) appropriate for your community;
[13]

b) Use an ordinance or other regulatory mechanism to address post -construction runoff from
new development and redevelopment projects to the extent allowable under State, Tribal
or local law; and
c) Ensure adequate long-term operation and maintenance of BMPs.
Post -construction Stormwater Runoff Controls for Development in the Falls Watershed.
Compliance with the stormwater management and water quality protection promulgated in Rule
15A NCAC 02B .0277 Stormwater Management for New Development, and Rule 15A NCAC
0213.0278 Stormwater Management for Existing Development effectively meets the Post -
construction Stormwater Runoff control requirements within the Falls Lake Water Supply.
Universal Stormwater Management Program (USMP). Adoption of' the Universal
Stormwater Management Program (USMP) meets the requirement to develop and implement a
Post -Construction Program by the local government adopting an ordinance that complies with
the requirements of 15A NCAC 02FI .1020 and the requirements of 15A NCAC 02B .0104(t).
Adoption of the USMP may not satisfy water quality requirements associated with the protection
of threatened or endangered species or those requirements associated with a Total Maximum
Daily Load (TMDL). The requirements of the USMP shall supersede and replace all other
existing post -construction stormwater requirements within that jurisdiction, as specified.
Under the proposed draft permit the City shall implement the following BMPs to meet
the objectives of the Post -Construction Stormwater Management Program:
a) Annually review its ordinances or other legal authorities, and revise/update as necessary,
or adopt any new ordinances or other legal authorities to meet the objectives of the Post -
Construction Stormwater Management Program.
b) Review designs and proposals for new development and redevelopment to determine
whether adequate stormwater control measures will be installed, implemented, and
maintained.
c) Adopt the DWQ BMP Design Manual or certify that the local BMI' Design Manual
meets or exceeds the requirements in the DWQ BMP Design Manual.
d) Maintain an inventory of projects with post -construction structural stormwater control
measures.
e) Impose or require recorded deed restrictions and protective covenants that ensure
development activities will maintain the project consistent with approved plans.
t) Provide a mechanism to require long-term operation and maintenance of structural
