Current through Register Vol. 39, No. 2, July 15, 2024
The following is the stormwater strategy, as prefaced in
					 Rule 02B .0275, for the activities of state and federal entities within the
					 Falls watershed.
(1) PURPOSE. The
				  purposes of this Rule are as follows.
(a) To
				  achieve and maintain, on new non-road development lands, the nonpoint source
				  nitrogen and phosphorus percentage reduction objectives established for Falls
				  Reservoir in
				  15A NCAC
				  02B .0275 relative to the baseline period
				  defined in Rule, to provide the highest practicable level of treatment on new
				  road development, and to achieve and maintain the percentage objectives on
				  existing developed lands by reducing loading from state-maintained roadways and
				  facilities, and from lands controlled by other state and federal entities in
				  the Falls watershed;
(b) To ensure
				  that the integrity and nutrient processing functions of receiving waters and
				  associated riparian buffers are not compromised by erosive flows from
				  state-maintained roadways and facilities and from lands controlled by other
				  state and federal entities in the Falls watershed; and
(c) To protect the water supply, aquatic
				  life, and recreational uses of Falls Reservoir.
North Carolina Administrative Code › Title 15A - Environmental Quality › Chapter 02 - Environmental Management › Subchapter B - SURFACE WATER AND WETLAND STANDARDS › Section .0200 - CLASSIFICATIONS AND WATER QUALITY STANDARDS APPLICABLE TO SURFACE WATERS AND WETLANDS OF NORTH CAROLINA › Section 02B .0282 - FALLS WATER SUPPLY NUTRIENT STRATEGY: OPTIONS FOR OFFSETTING NUTRIENT LOADS

Current through Register Vol. 39, No. 2, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE. This Rule provides parties subject to other rules
					 within the Falls nutrient strategy with options for meeting rule requirements
					 by obtaining or buying credit for nutrient load-reducing activities conducted
					 by others (sellers). It provides the potential for parties who achieve excess
					 load reductions under the Falls nutrient strategy to recover certain costs by
					 selling such credits, and it provides opportunity for third parties to produce
					 reductions and sell credits. Overall it provides the potential for more
					 cost-effective achievement of strategy reduction objectives. Accounting is
					 required to ensure and track the availability and use of trading credits. This
					 accounting will be compared against compliance accounting required under other
					 rules of the Falls nutrient strategy to ensure that crediting is properly
					 accounted for. This Rule furthers the adaptive management intent of the
					 strategy to protect the water supply, aquatic life, and recreational uses of
					 Falls Reservoir. The minimum requirements for the exchange of load reduction
					 credits are:
(1) PREREQUISITES. The
				  following buyers shall meet applicable criteria identified here and in rules
				  imposing reduction requirements on them before utilizing the option outlined in
				  this Rule:
(a) Agriculture Rule .0280: Owners
				  of agricultural land shall receive approval from the Watershed Oversight
				  Committee to obtain offsite credit pursuant to the conditions of Sub-Item
				  (7)(b)(vii) of Rule .0280;
(b) New
				  Development Rule .0277: Developers shall meet onsite reduction requirements
				  enumerated in Sub-Item (4)(b) of Rule .0277 before obtaining offsite
				  credit;
(c) Wastewater Rule .0279:
				  New and expanding dischargers shall first make all reasonable efforts to obtain
				  allocation from existing dischargers as stated in Sub-Items (7)(a)(ii) and
				  (8)(a)(ii), respectively of Rule .0279; and
(d) State and Federal Entities Stormwater
				  Rule .0281:
(i) Non-DOT entities shall meet
				  onsite new development reduction requirements enumerated in Sub-Item (4)(b) of
				  Rule .0281; and
(ii) NC DOT shall
				  meet onsite non-road new development reduction requirements enumerated in
				  Sub-Item (9)(c) of Rule .0281 before obtaining offsite credit.

(b) SIC number 4952 and NAICS number 221320
				  apply to every industrial establishment or unit of government that collects or
				  discharges domestic wastewater, whether from on-premises bathrooms, restrooms,
				  kitchens, dining rooms, water pollution control facilities, or from any other
				  source.
(c) The owner or operator
				  of every water pollution control facility that receives a wastewater influent
				  from more than one source shall determine and report on its NPDES permit
				  application, required per
				  15A NCAC
				  02B .0105, the name and industrial
				  classification number(s) for each applicable activity(ies) of every industrial
				  establishment contributing wastes containing toxic substances, in toxic
				  quantities, and also every industrial establishment contributing an average
				  daily wastewater influent of one percent or more of the design flow of the
				  facility or in excess of 100,000 gallons per day, whichever is less, and shall
				  report such other information as is required by Rule .0505 of this Section;
				  provided; however, that it is not required that the name and SIC or NAICS
				  number of any source contributing domestic sewage influent only be reported
				  hereunder.
(d) The average daily
				  influent volume contributed by any one source may be computed by dividing the
				  total volume of wastewater discharged by the source during the reporting year
				  by the total number of days that the source operated during the reporting
				  year.

(a) General. Every
				  person subject to this Section ("permittee") shall establish, operate, and
				  maintain a monitoring program consistent with its National Pollutant Discharge
				  Elimination System (NPDES) Permit or as otherwise required by the Director to
				  characterize its wastestreams and receiving waters, evaluate treatment
				  performance, and determine compliance with permit conditions and applicable
				  water quality standards.
(b)
				  Wastewater and Stream Flow Measurement.
(1)
				  Wastewater Flows.
(A) Every permittee shall
				  install, operate, and maintain continuous flow measuring devices with recording

				  untreated, for which monitoring and reporting requirements are specified in its
				  permit; except as provided in Part (C) of this Subparagraph.
(B) The permittee shall install appropriate
				  flow measurement devices consistent with approved engineering and scientific
				  practices to ensure the accuracy and reliability of measurements of the volume
				  of monitored discharges. Devices selected shall be capable of measuring flows
				  with a maximum deviation of less than 10 percent from true discharge volumes.
				  Flow measurement devices and their locations shall be subject to approval by
				  the Director prior to their installation, in accordance with these requirements
				  and 15A
				  NCAC 02H .0138.
(C) On a case-by-case basis, the Director may

Current through Register Vol. 39, No. 2, July 15, 2024
(a)
				  The Goose Creek watershed in the Yadkin Pee-Dee River Basin provides habitat
				  for an aquatic animal species that is listed as federally endangered by the
				  U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the provisions of the Endangered Species
				  Act, 16 U.S.C.
				  1531-1544. Maintenance and recovery of the
				  water quality conditions required to sustain and recover the federally-listed
				  endangered species protects the biological integrity of the waters. The Goose
				  Creek watershed, which includes Goose Creek (Index # 13-17-18), Stevens Creek
				  (Index # 13-17-18-1), Paddle Branch (Index # 13-17-18-2), Duck Creek (Index #
				  13-17-18-3), and all tributaries, shall be protected by the site-specific
				  management strategy described in Rules .0601 through .0608 of this
				  Section.
(b) The purpose of the
				  actions required by this site-specific management strategy is for the
				  maintenance and recovery of the water quality conditions required to sustain
				  and recover the federally endangered Carolina heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorata)
				  species. Management of the streamside zones to stabilize streambanks and
				  prevent sedimentation are critical measures to restore water quality to sustain
				  and enable recovery of the federally endangered Carolina heelsplitter.
				  Site-specific management strategies shall be implemented to:
(1) control stormwater for projects
				  disturbing one acre or more of land as described in Rule .0602 of this
				  Section;
(2) control wastewater
				  discharges as described in Rule .0603 of this Section;
(3) control toxicity to streams supporting
				  the Carolina heelsplitter as described in Rule .0604 of this Section;
				  and
(4) maintain riparian buffers
				  as described in Rules .0605 through .0608 of this Section.
