A. Control and Treatment of Runoff Volume.

i. All projects shall meet the stormwater system design requirements set forth in 15A NCAC 02H .1003. Projects shall use a project density threshold of greater than twenty-four (>24%) percent built-upon area, whereupon high-density stormwater design is required. All engineered stormwater controls will meet the standards set in the Design Manual and the State’s Minimum Design Criteria, 15A NCAC 02H .1050 through .1062. ii. Where high-density stormwater design is required, stormwater systems shall meet the standards set forth in 15A NCAC 02H .1003(3) and be designed to control and treat the volume of runoff generated from all built-upon area by one inch of rainfall or equivalent runoff volume in one or more Primary SCMs. These projects may utilize offsite Primary SCMs dedicated to treating an area encompassing the project.
