Stormwater Phase 2 - Post Construction Runoff (Water Quality)  Ordinance - Chapter 42 - Article VIII - Subpart B

Below you will find a document entitled "Close Out Requirements" for Fast-Tracked Stormwater Phase II Post-Construction projects (High Density).  You will find additional documentation below explaining each item required for a Certificate of Occupancy to be issued on the completed project.

Low Impact Development (LID) is a voluntary approach to stormwater management that can benefit both the economy and the environment by reducing infrastructure costs, increasing lot yields and enhancing water quality protection.

The Definition of LID

A development is considered LID when the volume of runoff leaving the site after development matches the volume of runoff before development. In addition, the  LID project should maintain adequate flows to the streams and wetlands on the site rather than piping stormwater to a single low point.

What is Storm EZ?

Below you will find the rules on minimum design criteria (MDC) for stormwater treatment devices listed in the North Carolina Stormwater BMP Manual.

Not all projects will be eligible for permitting under the Fast Track Process. Review the eligibility requirements below before proceeding.  If your project does qualify, below are the submittal requirements.
