The purpose <br /> of these regulations was to require nutrient reduction(i.e. phosphorous and nitrogen)as part of development <br /> projects requiring a stormwater permit. Ultimately the program was designed to address the impairment of <br /> Jordan Lake. Session Law(s) 2015-246 and 2016-94 effectively delayed the implementation of these nutrient <br /> reduction standards for parcels within the Cape Fear River Basin to allow State staff to study the issue in greater <br /> detail. As a result staff is amending the UDO to eliminate references to our ability to enforce said standards. <br /> z Specific language removed due to the delay in the authorization to implement and enforce nutrient regulations <br /> within the Cape Fear River Basin, commonly referred to as the 'Jordan Lake Rules'. <br /> Orange County, North Carolina—Unified Development Ordinance Page 1-4 <br />
