Apply for a Stormwater PermitPublic Works
A stormwater permit is required for all development and redevelopment unless exempt pursuant to the City Ordinance. Before a stormwater management permit application is deemed complete, the City may request a consultation on a concept plan for the post-construction stormwater management system and stormwater drainage plan to be utilized in the proposed development project. This consultation meeting should take place at the time of the preliminary plan of subdivision or other early step in the development process. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss the post-construction stormwater management measures necessary for the proposed project, as well as to discuss and assess constraints, opportunities and potential approaches to stormwater management designs before formal site design engineering is commenced. Local watershed plans, the natural areas as referenced within the Unified Development Ordinance, and other relevant resource protection plans may be consulted in the discussion of the concept plan.
The stormwater management permit application shall detail how post-development stormwater runoff will be controlled and managed and how the proposed project will meet the requirements the City's ordinances. All plans shall be prepared by a qualified registered North Carolina professional engineer, surveyor, soil scientist or landscape architect, and the engineer, surveyor, soil scientist or landscape architect shall perform services only in their area of competence, and shall verify that the design of all stormwater management facilities and practices meets the of the City.
