BMP Manual Updates


 

NC DWQ STORMWATER BMP MANUAL

The Division of Water Quality 2007 Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual was issued on July 2, 2007, and as of October 1, 2007 all stormwater permits for BMPs must be designed using the updated requirements.  Since July 2nd, the Division has received many inquiries regarding the new design requirements.  In order to clarify these issues before October 1st, the manual has been updated (Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual).  A list of changes is provided on the last page of each chapter.  Additionally, the application and supplement forms have been updated to be consistent with the new design requirements.  These forms are available on our website, and can now be filled out electronically.  Please continue to print out all of the required forms, and submit them with your permit applications.

The Division will continue to update the manual on an as-needed basis.  We encourage the public to continue to submit recommendations and supporting evidence of improvements that you believe are needed.  Please submit recommendations to Ken Pickle, Ken.Pickle@ncmail.net or Robert Patterson, Robert.Patterson@ncmail.net.
