Abstract:
In November, the Environmental Protection Agency promulgated final rules and regulations setting up the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater permitting program. The scope of the program was expanded to include unincorporated urban areas with 100,000 or more population which have separate storm sewer systems. This change means that Cumberland County joins Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham, Greensboro, and Winston-Salem on the list of North Carolina urban areas that must comply with stormwater control programs.

Abstract:
In October, the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission adopted a temporary rule to implement a federally required program to control stormwater discharges to surface waters from publicly owned drainage systems in municipalities and urban areas meeting certain population criteria. The temporary state rule will allow regulated public entities identified under requirements of the federal NPDES Phase II stormwater rule to file applications for permits.
