Formatte <br /> 6.14.7 Nutrient Load Formatte <br /> (A) Nitrogen and phosphorus loads contributed by proposed new development shall not <br /> exceed the following unit-area mass loading rates: <br /> (1) Falls Lake Watershed <br /> (a) Nitrogen, 2.2 pounds per acre per year <br /> (b) Phosphorus, 0.33 pounds per acre per year <br /> (2)Jerdan Lake Watershed1z <br /> (a) Upper T'e Greek rm <br /> N+tregen, 2.2 peunds per-acre per year <br /> Phosphorus, vcPvc`^uTP -a e per yea T <br /> Given recent changes in State law,this provision is only applicable in the Falls Lake Watershed. Existing language <br /> is being moved to ensure consistency with applicable State standards. <br /> 8 For consistency purposes,staff is capitalizing references to the State's stormwater manual within the UDC. <br /> 9 Change in language to reflect regulatory changes as codified in NC Administrative Code(NCAC) 15A NCAC 02H <br /> .1002(37)and 15A NCAC 02H .1002(46). <br /> 10 This language is currently contained in Section 6.14.6(A)(3)of the UDO. As a result of recent changes in State <br /> law it now only has applicability for parcels located within the Falls Lake Watershed. The proposed amendment is <br /> intended to address this change. <br /> 11 This is commonly referred to as the'10%Rule'which allows for a 10%of less increase in peak stormwater runoff <br /> between pre and post development conditions for a parcel. Staff is recommending a specific reference to the <br /> applicable portion of the NCAC as part of this revision. <br /> 12 As previously indicated in order to ensure consistency with State standards, staff is recommending the <br /> elimination of existing regulations designed to address water quality/nutrient reduction within the Jordan Lake <br /> Watershed. Staff can only address these issues within the Falls Lake Watershed based on current State law. <br /> Orange County, North Carolina—Unified Development Ordinance Page 6-98 <br />
