Fact Sheet - Falls Lake/Jordan Lake Stormwater Rule for Attachment 3 <br /> New Development in Orange County <br /> Introduction <br /> Both Falls Lake and Jordan Lake are considered polluted due to excessive nutrient inputs and <br /> Stormwater runoff is one of the major sources. As a result, both lakes have been designated as Nutrient <br /> Sensitive Waters (NSW) by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ). Through a long <br /> stakeholder process, nutrient reduction strategies were developed for both lakes as well as all <br /> lands/waters draining to them.To address nutrients from stormwater runoff, reductions will be required <br /> from both existing developed areas as well as new development. <br /> As part of the nutrient reduction strategy, new development will be required to meet certain <br /> Stormwater standards, including nutrient limits. The new development nutrient limits are different for <br /> each lake, but the stormwater requirements are similar. Orange County is addressing the two programs <br /> with one set of regulations within its Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), and will enforce nutrient <br /> limits for each lake's watershed. <br /> Key Points: <br /> • The Falls Lake and Jordan Lake rules passed by the State require local governments to adopt <br /> new stormwater standards for new development. <br /> • The state's Falls Lake rules became effective January 15, 2011 and the Jordan Lake rules became <br /> effective August 11, 2009. <br /> • Requirements for the Falls Lake and Jordan Lake watersheds differ slightly; Orange County will <br /> amend its LIDO to meet the standards for each watershed (see attached map and table). <br /> • Stormwater runoff from new development must meet both nitrogen and phosphorus limits. <br /> • Nitrogen and phosphorus limits are different depending on which watershed the development is <br /> located. <br /> • Limits apply to new development that meet or exceed land disturbance thresholds; these <br /> thresholds differ between the two watersheds(see attached table). <br /> • Orange County was required to submit its proposed Falls Lake and Jordan Lake new <br /> development program to DWQ and the NC Environmental Management Commission (EMC) for <br /> review and approval, prior to adoption. <br /> For additional information,click on the links below: <br /> • Stormwater and Excess Nutrients—Why Care About Stormwater? <br /> • Map showing Falls Lake and Jordan Lake watersheds in Orange County <br /> • Table comparing current Neuse rules with new Falls Lake and Jordan Lake limits <br /> • Adoption Timeline <br /> • Also visit DWQ's websites: <br /> http://Portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/ps/nps/`fallslake <br /> http://Portal.ncdenr.org/web/oordanlake <br />
