Fleming, Jr., PE, Engineering /Stormwater Supervisor <br />DATE: <br />11/23/15 <br />PROJECT: <br />GENERAL <br />SUBJECT: <br />Session Law 2015 -286 (HB 765) <br />The following is my analysis of the impacts of subject legislation on the Erosion <br />Control /Stormwater program of Orange County. (For full text of SL 2015 -286, see <br />Attachment 5.) <br />Michael Harvey has reviewed this memorandum in advance of finalization, as it touches <br />upon ordinances enforced by Current Planning. I have incorporated his one comment. <br />1. The Environmental Review Commission (EMC) is required to study "open and <br />fair competition with respect to materials used in wastewater, stormwater, and <br />other water projects "; whether to require public entities to consider all acceptable <br />piping materials before determining which piping material should be used in the <br />constructing, developing, financing, maintaining, rebuilding, improving, repairing, <br />procuring, or operating of a water, wastewater, or stormwater drainage project. <br />Recommendations are due to the 2016 Regular Session of the 2015 General <br />Assembly, which starts April 25, 2016. <br />The outcome of this provision cannot be determined at this point in time. As <br />Orange County Engineering (a division of Planning & Inspections) engages <br />in the development of water, sewer and potentially other infrastructure that <br />would promote development in the Economic Development Districts <br />(EDD's), changes may be expected to Orange County's construction <br />documents for such future projects. <br />S92_Boards\BOCC\2015 Public HearingsWov QPH\Work Session Item \2015 Session Law Efects\Att 2 - ImpactsOtSL2015- 2860-I B765 )EC- SW- PrograrnOfOC- 1 11215.doc <br />
