Abstract:

Eighty-four more cities and urbanized counties in North Carolina and all construction sites larger than one acre will be required to get permits and manage storm water runoff under rules proposed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency in January. The Phase II Storm Water regulations will expand the national program to regulate storm water discharges as point sources under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES).
