Orange County has effectively two basins: 36 Neuse and the Jordan. These areas have storm water management criteria that regulate both the quality and 37 quantity of water and its regulations have been adopted consistently with authorizations enacted at the state level. In 38 the 2000's the state adopted what is commonly referred to as the Jordan Lake rules which were intended to establish 39 nutrient reduction requirements for development within that basin. I am here before you to amend the Unified 40 Development Ordinance to remove appropriate references to our ability to enforce water quality stormwater 41 regulatory standards from parcels of property within the Jordan Lake River basin because we no longer have the 42 legal authority under state to regulate that enforcement. This package will eliminate references to the 43 nitrogen/phosphorus rule requirements based on land disturbing thresholds for parcels or property within the Jordan 44 Lake River basin. We will still enforce water quantity standards, but we cannot treat or require the treatment of 45 runoff. We have a regulatory standard in our Unified Development Ordinance that we cannot enforce and therefore 46 needs to be removed from the(UDO). It has no legal standing for us. This text amendment just eliminates all 47 references to our legal ability to enforce a water quality standard. 48 49 Paul Guthrie: With reference to the John Edwards property, how are they planning to deal with draining directly into 50 a major tributary. 51
