It is the intent of the County for Stormwater Services to ensure proper conveyance of stormwater through provision of drainage maintenance for some portions of stormwater conveyances on private property in accordance with administrative policies. B. Property owner responsibility: Although the County Stormwater Services intends to provide drainage maintenance on private property, it shall remain the ultimate responsibility of individual property owners of developed or undeveloped land within the unincorporated areas of the County, to maintain stormwater conveyance facilities, such as waterways, streams, creeks, ditches, swales, channels, canals, conduits and culverts, and stormwater control facilities, such as ponds and lakes within their property. Where conditions of existing stormwater facilities are determined to be deficient or a public nuisance, and the property owner fails to correct the deficiencies after being notified by the County, the County may arrange for the deficiencies to be corrected and recover all costs thereto from the property owner. However, the recovery of costs from property owners is subject to appeal as described in Section 7.17. C. Limitations of article: This article does not imply that properties within the unincorporated area shall always be free from flooding or flood damage, surface water stagnation or nonpoint source pollution or that all flood control and water treatment projects to control the quantity and quality of runoff can be cost-effectively constructed. Nothing in this article shall create additional duties on the part of the County or hold the County liable for any damages incurred in a flood or from adverse water quality due to stormwater runoff. Nothing in this article shall waive the County's immunity or defenses under state law or reduce the need or necessity for flood insurance. D. Consistency with county, state, federal rules and regulations: The requirements of this article shall be enacted, administered, and enforced consistently with the requirements of the County, state and federal government for controlling stormwater quality and quantity. If the requirements of this article are found to conflict with other rules and regulations of the County, the state, or the federal government, the more stringent or higher requirements shall govern unless limited by state or federal law. Section 7.8. Development Plans and Permits Stormwater Management Standards: All land within the unincorporated areas of the County to be developed shall have sufficient stormwater conveyances and control measures to ensure the protection of life, property, and natural resources from increased quantity of runoff. Development subject to this article shall, at a minimum, provide stormwater conveyances designed to properly convey stormwater runoff for post-development conditions during the 2- year, 10-year, and 25-year frequency storm events and shall provide adequate stormwater control measures to mitigate the increased runoff from the post-development conditions during the 2-year, 10-year, and 25-year frequency storm events such that the discharge rate leaving the development in post-development condition does not exceed the pre-development rates. A. Drainage Plan Requirement: Submittal and approval of a Drainage Plan is required for all development unless all of the following conditions are met. Stormwater Ordinance I New Hanover County, NC 7-7 1. The development does not result in additional built upon area; 2. The development does not include the importation of any fill material; 3. The development does not alter the capacity or pattern of any existing drainage conveyance systems or involve the piping of any open conveyance; and 4. The development provides greater or equal stormwater control to that of the previous development. It is the responsibility of an applicant to provide sufficient information in the Drainage Plan so the County or its agents may reasonably evaluate the characteristics of stormwater modifications, the potential and predicted impacts of the proposed activity on adjacent areas, and the effectiveness and acceptability of those measures proposed by the applicant for reducing adverse impacts. The applicant shall provide, as necessary, maps, tables, photographs, narrative descriptions and explanations to demonstrate compliance with the County's stormwater management standards. The Drainage Plan need not be prepared by a registered design professional. However, the County will consider plans and additional alternatives to meet the stormwater requirements if prepared by a registered design professional. An on-site meeting with the County Engineer or his/her designee is strongly encouraged prior to plan preparation. The Drainage Plan shall be submitted as part of the application for a building permit or land disturbing permit. B. Stormwater Permit Requirement: A Stormwater Permit and Stormwater Management Plan are required for any development activity that will result in the accumulation of 10,000 square feet or more of built upon area on any site or as part of a common plan of development. A one-time exemption may be granted for the addition of 3,000 square feet of built upon area when the existing built upon area exceeds 10,000 square feet or will exceed 10,000 square feet upon the addition of 3,000 square feet of new built upon area. • Required stormwater control measures shall be designed, constructed and maintained by the owner of the property in accordance with the provisions of this article. • The County Engineer may require submittal of a stormwater impact analysis and additional stormwater control measures for development at or upstream of documented flooding cases or where stormwater runoff from the site may cause adverse effects on other public or private properties. The stormwater impact analysis shall evaluate downstream conditions and make design recommendations for improvements to maintain adequate stormwater management per this article. Analysis must be conducted to the next downstream facility(i.e., NCDOT culvert or natural water body). Section 7.9. Plan Review A.
