Abstract:
The North Carolina Division of Water Quality drafted a response to a petition filed by the North Carolina Coastal Federation to require Brunswick County to obtain an NPDES Storm Water Phase I permit prior to being issued authorizations for construction of the East-West Brunswick Regional Wastewater Treatment Facilities. The petition asks that Brunswick County obtain a storm water permit to regulate storm water discharges because of reports concluding that shellfish closures in the area result from storm water runoff.
