These amendments are required by the State of North Carolina to meet <br /> 30 the Falls Lake and Jordan Lake New Development Rules. This item was heard at the February 27, <br /> 31 2012 quarterly public hearing. <br /> 32 Presenter: Terry Hackett, Stormwater Resource Officer <br /> 33 <br /> 34 Terry Hackett: Reviewed abstract. <br /> 35 <br /> 36 Larry Wright: If you are a landowner and there is a hog farm on a hill-above you and stormwater runs onto your property, <br /> 37 are you subject to having control over that? <br /> 38 <br /> 39 Terry Hackett: Yes. A landowner that is proposing to develop it will have to account for any run on, any surface <br /> 40 stormwater running onto their property. If it is a hog farm, there are agricultural rules within the Falls Lake and Jordan <br /> 41 Lake that require the agricultural community to make nutrient reduction. If it was an industrial type hog farm,there would <br /> 42 be some type of individual permit they would have to get including and NPDES discharge permit. In general,the way most <br /> 43 civil engineers deal with that is as water comes on,they create a diversion and bring that water around and it passes by so <br /> 44 they don't have to account for it on site. <br /> 45 <br /> 46 Pete Hallenbeck: The nitrogen that shows up,when it rains,does the rain water absorb nitrogen in the air and the problem <br /> 47 is that it will lie around for a while to get rid of it? <br /> 48 <br /> 49 Terry Hackett: That is one of the issues that was a big debate during the stakeholder process especially for the Falls Lake <br /> 50 rules as to what those sources really are. Nitrogen is similar to water in that it has a cycle so there is atmospheric <br /> 51 nitrogen. The City of Durham is doing a study to try to show that is a major source, not just the storm water. When you <br /> 52 get your impervious,the nitrogen that is naturally there cannot soak into the ground and we have excess that runs off. <br /> 53 <br /> 1 <br />
