Dear Mr. Randall:
We have received the draft Brunswick County (County) NPDES Stormwater permit (NCS000432)
and appreciate the opportunity to provide comment before the draft permit goes to public review.
While we have not done a comprehensive review of the draft permit, we have highlighted several
areas of concern that we would like to comment on and document in this letter.
1. In the draft permit, you reference monitoring in several places. It is not clear if this is a
requirement of Brunswick County.
2. There is confusion as to whether coastal counties are mandated to follow these new rules
or is it strictly voluntary?
3. In the section on Post -construction, you refer to over one acre disturbed. However, the
cover page refers to 5,000 square feet disturbed. Please clarify.
4. The overall cost of implementing, reporting and monitoring collected data puts an undue
burden on County Government. The complicated amount of reporting required will not
reduce the pollution problem. I feel it would be more beneficial to spend our efforts in
review and inspection.
5. The urban areas of the County are not in the jurisdiction of the County and almost all of
the waterfront areas are located in incorporated towns. This makes it extremely difficult to
manage stormwater control as some nun off from incorporated areas flow into County
unincorporated streams.
6. Section E: Construction Site Runoff Control of the draft permit suggests that the County
will be implementing this measure. We have indicated in our Comprehensive Stormwater
Management Program Report (Report), submitted to the DWQ on March 10, 2003, that
we would like to exercise the privilege afforded to us by DWQ to have the NC DENR-
Division of Land Quality administer this program measure in full. This is stated in Section
6 of the Report. However, to ensure compliance with the Sedimentation and Pollution
Control Act, G.S. 113-A-50 et seq, the County has included language in their adopted
stormwater management ordinance that provides for site inspection by County staff and
states that failure to properly implement an approved Erosion and Sediment Control Plan
is a violation of the ordinance. This is stated in Section 7.4 of the Report.
7. 1 feel that several simple guidelines could manage the County Stormwater program and
help to achieve our long term goals. They are as follows:
A. Keep the current density requirements.
B. Require all incorporated areas in coastal Counties to comply.
C. Require all commercial and industrial developments to have a
stormwater permit.

D. Require all residential properties disturbing over one acre to have a
stormwater permit.
E. Require all land being filled over 4 inches from existing grade to have a
stormwater permit.
F. Limit piping to street crossing only and limit curb and gutter to use grass
swales.
F. Let County Government set up their own record keeping system.
Monitoring by the State can be achieved by recording benchmarks and
overall improvements.
We will continue to evaluate the draft permit as we await a revised version that will be available
for the public review period. Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions regarding the
County's comments.
Sincerely,
r

Subject: Draft NPDES Permit Number NCS000432
Dear Mr. Phillips:
Enclosed for your review and comment is the draft Phase II NPDES Stormwater Permit
for the County of Brunswick.
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 II 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 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 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.

Subject: Draft NPDES Permit Number NCS000432
Dear Mr. Phillips:
Enclosed for your review and comment is the draft Phase II NPDES Stormwater Permit
for the County of Brunswick.
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 II 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 2H .1002(14) shall not be required to comply with these specific requirements.
Purposed structural storrnwater 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 I -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.

Dear Aisha,
JAN 05 20'�­
DENR - WATER QUALITY
Wetlands & Stormwater Branch
We have received the draft Brunswick County (County) NPDES Stormwater permit (NC
S000432) and appreciate the opportunity to provide comment before the draft permit goes
to public review. While we have not done a comprehensive review of the draft permit, we
have highlighted several areas of concern that we would like to comment on and
document in this letter. These areas of concern pertain to (1) confusion on the status of
responsibility of the County regarding implementation of Construction Site Runoff
Control element and (2) language throughout the draft permit that may present undue
liability on the County as a compliant permit holder.
Section E: Construction Site Runoff Control of the draft permit suggests that the County
will be implementing this measure. We have indicated in our Comprehensive
Stormwater Management Program Report (Report), submitted to the DWQ on March 10,
2003, that we would like to exercise the privilege afforded to us by DWQ to have the NC
DENR-Division of Land Quality administer this program measure in full. This is stated
in Section 6 of the Report. However, to ensure compliance with the Sedimentation and
Pollution Control Act, G.S. 113A-50 et seq, the County has included language in their
adopted stormwater management ordinance that provides for site inspection by County
staff and states that failure to properly implement an approved Erosion and Sediment
Control Plan is a violation of the ordinance. This is stated in Section 7.4 of the Report.
Our final areas of concern revolve around language in two sections of the draft permit
that may present undue liability to the County when executing a compliant stormwater
program. The intent of Statement 47, in Part L• Permit Coverage, can be misconstrued in
its general form. It is probable that stormwater flows will "cause or contribute" to
a

violations of water quality standards even when a stormwater program is being fully
executed to the maximum extent practicable (MEP). This type of general statement may
require a permit holder to implement additional controls beyond its already prescribed
and DWQ permitted BMPs and measurable, goals. We believe the statement should
include a clause that protects permit holders that adhere to their BMPs and measurable
goals.
Further, regarding language in Statement #11 in Part I1, Section A: Program
Implementation, the drafted language can imply that the TMDL set for a specific water
body may be construed as the maximum extent practicable protection required. The
objective of a TMDL is to develop a science —based loading that will improve water
quality impairment to the point of no longer violating water quality standards. The
TMDL process does not consider the feasibility of implementing these controls.
Situations may arise where the MEP control does not lead to TMDL fulfillment and
therefore the linkage between the TMDL and MEP is not appropriate in generality.
We will continue to evaluate the draft permit as we await a revised version that will be
available for the public review period. Please do not hesitate to contact me with
questions regarding the County's comments.
Regards,
Jeffrey W. Phillips

13RUNSWICK COUNTY
MR. MARTY LAWING , BRUNSWICK COUNTY MANAGER
POST O F10E SOX. 249
1301-IVIA , NC 28422
Subject: NPDES Phase 11 Stormwater Program
Mr. Marty Lawing :
In 1990 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Phase I stormwater program was promulgated under the
Clean Water Act. Phase I relies on National Pollutant discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit coverage to
address stormwater runoff from: (1) "medium" and "large" municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) generally
serving populations of 100,000 or greater, (2) construction activity disturbing 5 acres of land or greater, and (3) ten
categories of industrial activity. The NPDES Stormwater Phase 11 Final Rule was promulgated in December 1999 and is
the next step in EPA's effort to preserve, protect, and improve the Nation's water resources from polluted storm water
runoff. The Phase 11 prograrn expands the Phase I program by requiring additional operators of MS4s in urbanized areas
and operators of small construction sites, through the use of NPDES permits, to implement programs and practices to
control stormwater runoff. Phase 11 is intended to further reduce adverse impacts to water quality and aquatic habitat by
instituting the use of controls on the unregulated sources of stormwater discharges that have the greatest likelihood of
causing continued environmental degradation.
The NPDES Stormwater Phase 11 Final Rule requires nationwide coverage of all operators of small MS4s that are
located within the boundaries of a Bureau of the Census defined "urbanized area" based on the latest decennial Census.
We are writing to you to remind you that Brunswick County has been identified as being located within a census
designated urbanized area in both the 1990 and 2000 decennial census. As a regulated community, you are required to
develop a stormwater management program and apply for stormwater permit coverage, if you own and operate a small
MS4 or file a certification that Brunswick County does not own or operate a small MS4. The deadline for submitting
your application package or non -ownership certification is March 10, 2003. Application and certification documents, as
well as additional information on the NPDES stormwater program, are available for download at our web site . Our web
address is http://h2o.enr.stnte.nc.tis/su/stor►nwater.Iitml. You may also contact its for hard copies of the documents. It'
you have any questions about this letter, please feel free to contact me (919-733-5083, ext.525) or Darren E ngEand
