17 <br />7. The Project shall utilize on-site stormwater best management practices (BMPs) <br />to meet these requirements to the extent practical. Using offset payments only in <br />lieu of stormwater BMP's will not be accepted. <br />8. The Project shall install stormwater BMP's to remove enough nitrogen to bring <br />the development down to 3.6 Ibs/ac/yr export OR do a combination of BMP's and <br />offset payment to achieve a 3.6 Ibs/ac/year export. A combination of stormwater <br />BMP's and offset payment will be allowed under the following conditions: <br />a. Onsite stormwater BMPs are designed so that the computed <br />nitrogen loading is below 7.0 Ibs/ac/year that is more restrictive that <br />the Neuse Rules currently require. <br />b. The offset fee to bring the remaining loading rate to the 3.6 <br />Ibs/ac/year is used in Orange County. . <br />9. BRA shall collaborate with County staff during the SMP design process. To <br />encourage this, a minimum of three meetings with stormwater staff will be <br />conducted prior to submittal of the SMP. <br />J -ENVIRONMENTAL AND WATER QUALITY: <br />In addition to any and all applicable Federal, State, or local requirements, the <br />following specific standards shall govern environmental and water quality issues <br />for the Project: <br />1. No buildings, hardscape, roads or parking areas developed within the Project <br />shall be located within: <br />a. Previously undeveloped land whose elevation is lower than 5 feet <br />above the elevation of the, 100- year flood as defined by FEMA <br />(Federal Emergency Management Agency), <br />b. Land that is specifically identified as habitat for any species on <br />Federal or State threatened or endangered lists, <br />c. Within one hundred (100) feet of any contiguous wetlands, as <br />defined by United States Code of Federal Regulations 40 CFR, <br />Parts 230-233 and Part 22, and isolated wetlands or areas of <br />special concern identified by state or local rule, OR within setback <br />distances from wetlands prescribed in state or local regulations <br />unless otherwise mitigated in accordance with US Army Corps <br />guidelines/standards, <br />d. Previously undeveloped land that is within fifty (50) feet of a water <br />body, defined as seas, lakes, rivers, streams and tributaries which <br />support or could support fish, recreation or industrial use, <br />consistent with the terminology of the Clean Water Act, and <br />e. Any and all other areas defined by local, State, or Federal <br />regulations that are identified as protected. <br />
